Samsung Fold 7 and Flip 7 replacement screen pricing makes a strong case for getting Care Plus

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 screen replacements will reportedly cost as much as $885 for the inner panel.

Smartphones today are at their most expensive, and while you can find plenty of very affordable options out there when it comes to traditional handsets, it’s the foldabl

Leaked iPhone 17 Air battery capacity reveals new model’s biggest weakness

Americans Are Paying $78 Monthly for Internet on Average: Here’s What to Do if Your Bill Is Too High.

If you've been with the same internet provider for a while, it probably seems like it gets more expensive by the year. That's not wrong: 63% of adults are paying $195 more on average for internet than they did last year, and high prices are the no. 1 reason people choose not to have a home internet connection at all. I analyzed over 150 plans from the country's biggest internet providers to figure out what the typical cost of internet is in the US, and I found that the median price is $63 per m

Nintendo launches another Switch Online test program for 40,000 players

Nintendo has posted a call for participants for another Playtest Program, and this time, it's looking for 40,000 testers and not just 10,000 like in the first one. If you'll recall, Nintendo looked for 10,000 participants for the first Playtest event last year to test an unnamed, mysterious Switch Online feature. The new program still only welcomes active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members, but as you'd expect, it now supports both the original Switch and the Switch 2. Interested p

iPadOS 26 is turning my iPad Air into the ultraportable laptop it was meant to be

M3 iPad Air running iPadOS 26 Developer Beta. Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET I was intrigued and curious to try iPadOS 26 when Apple first announced it at WWDC 2025 last month. For the longest time, the iPad has been something I've wanted to add to my workflow but couldn't due to its rigid operating system -- one that doesn't necessarily complement the iPad's flexible hardware. It seems Apple was aware of this, too since iPadOS 26 attempts to bridges the longstanding gaps between the Apple tablet and a

The Folding iPhone Is Getting Real (and Might Use Samsung Parts)

This may be the final year without a folding iPhone. New reports this week suggest that Apple will launch the long-rumored folding iPhone in 2026. The latest buzz suggests that Apple is working with Samsung Display to help make the crease-free screen for the folding iPhone. It's no secret that Apple has been tinkering with bendable screen designs for years. The company has filed various patents about screens that fold, scroll and even self-heal from scratches. Last year, Bloomberg reported that

Apple sues leaker Jon Prosser for allegedly stealing iOS 26 info from an employee

Apple is suing leaker Jon Prosser and a codefendant for misappropriation of trade secrets related to YouTube videos from earlier this year that depicted mockups of iOS 26 (which was, at the time, expected to be called iOS 19 ). In the suit, which Apple filed at a district court in the Northern District of California, the company claims Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti "conspired to break into an Apple employee’s development iPhone to take Apple’s trade secrets." Per the filing , which was obtain

iSnitched? Apple sues YouTuber over elaborate iOS 26 leak plot

Front Page Tech TL;DR Apple is suing YouTuber Jon Prosser for Front Page Tech for allegedly accessing a development iPhone and leaking iOS 26 details months before launch. The lawsuit accuses him and a collaborator of a conspiracy to misappropriate trade secrets and secretly record unreleased features. It’s an unusually aggressive legal move for a tech company, one we’ve never seen from an Android brand. Apple is generally better than most Android brands at keeping its unreleased products an

I tested a Bluetooth tracker for iOS and Android, and its safety features are top-tier

Like all third-party tags, they do not support Apple's own precision finding. $29 at Amazon For me, finder tags like the Apple AirTags have been a game changer. And that's not a word of hyperbole.

The Camera and Photos apps are gaining long-awaited functional redesigns; the Messages and Phone apps are taking a firmer stand against unwanted texts and calls; and Apple Intelligence contributes some improvements in a year when

Apple sues leaker Jon Prosser for stealing iOS secrets

Apple has sued the well-known leaker Jon Prosser for the alleged theft of trade secrets related to iOS 26. Prosser has been accused of tasking another man, Michael Ramacciotti, with secretly accessing an Apple employee’s development iPhone and using that information to report on Apple’s planned changes in the then-unannounced iOS 26.

Apple sues Jon Prosser for his iOS 26 YouTube leaks, Prosser responds

Apple has filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California, accusing Jon Prosser of misappropriating trade secrets and violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Here are the full details.

This upcoming iOS feature will make spam phone calls an issue of the past

At WWDC25 this year, Apple announced a pair of new features to vastly improve the phone calling experience for iPhone users. Hold Assist does exactly what it says on the tin, and manages calls for you while you’re placed on hold – getting rid of the need to listen to dreaded hold music. The other feature, Call Screening, has much larger implications, and dealing with spam phone calls may become an issue of the past. 9to5Mac is brought to you by Incogni: Protect your personal info from prying e

Four iPhone 17 Pro Colors Leak, Including Action-Button Orange

The colors for Apple's iPhone 17 and 17 Air handsets were purportedly leaked last week, but there was no mention of the 17 Pro lineup. As of Thursday, that's no longer the case thanks to another leak. And the iPhone 17 Pro lineup might be in for a much bolder selection of colors when it drops later this year. Spotted by 9to5 Mac, well-known leaker Majin Bu added a new post to their blog, complete with renders of the four new colors the iPhone 17 Pro lineup will potentially consist of, including

Running TypeScript Natively in Node.js

Since v23.6.0, Node.js enables "type stripping" by default. If you are using v23.6.0 or later and your source code contains only erasable typescript syntax, you do not need this article.

The --experimental-strip-types flag tells Node.js to strip the type annotations from the TypeScript code before

Yes, the iPhone 17 Could Cost $2,400 With Tariffs. But Here's Why This Expert Says It's Unlikely

With President Donald Trump threatening a higher 25% tariff rate for items produced in South Korea and Japan -- two major US tech suppliers -- you might be wondering if the rumored iPhone 17 or other Apple devices like MacBooks or AirPods will cost more soon. The answer is... maybe. But tariffs aren't the only culprit. After Apple's initial attempts to avoid the tariffs on iPhones, which have been primarily produced in China, Trump threatened Apple and other manufacturers with a 25% tariff for

Samsung DeX turns the Galaxy Z Flip 7 into a pocket-sized PC, but it’s missing one key feature

TL;DR The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first in Samsung’s clamshell foldable lineup to support Samsung DeX, turning it into a compact, portable PC. DeX provides a full desktop experience on an external monitor and works with a wired connection, even when the phone is closed. While a powerful addition, it lacks the ability to use the cover screen as a touchpad, a feature found on competing Razr phones. Samsung’s clamshell folding phones have always been true flagships in terms of specs and perfo
