I love book-style foldables, and they’ve ruined slab phones for me

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-18 14:00:57

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority Ever since I used the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021, I have seen the benefits of having a book-style foldable — better productivity, flexible usability, and more. The form factor has only become more and more polished over the years, thanks to better app optimization and thinner designs. In this time, I have used book-style foldables from Samsung, Google, HONOR, OnePlus, vivo, HUAWEI, Tecno, and more. While Samsung delivered its most improved folding phone with the

iOS 26 has a new full-screen UI when you take a screenshot on your iPhone, here’s how to change it back

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-18 16:30:45

The new iOS 26 software update for iPhone introduces a new full-screen preview experience when taking a screenshot. This includes some new visual lookup functionality, but it also can be a bit annoying if you just want to capture something for later and get on with what are you doing. iOS 18 and earlier would simply show a small unobtrusive thumbnail of the screenshot in the corner of the screen. Thankfully, this behavior is still possible on iOS 26 as well. Here’s how to change it back. First

iPhone 17 review: Closer to Pro

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 16:00:55

For years, the “regular” iPhone received hand-me-downs from the Pro models. This was less so with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, but the trickle-down philosophy was still there to a degree. For 2025 and the iPhone 17 ($799) is no longer the compromise that the base model used to be. Apple finally blessed it with a 120Hz display and this year’s most exciting camera feature, Center Stage. While it may seem like Apple is no longer forcing iPhone users to compromise, or at least not to the degree it us

Cybercriminals Have a Weird New Way to Target You With Scam Texts

wired.com Matt Burgess 2025-09-18 16:00:00

Cybercriminals have a new way of sending millions of scam text messages to people. Typically when fraudsters send waves of phishing messages to phones—such as toll or delivery scams—they may use a huge list of phone numbers and automate the sending of messages. But as phone companies and telecom services have rolled out more tools to detect scams in texts, criminals have started driving around cities with fake cell phone towers that send messages directly to nearby phones.

iPhone Air vs. Galaxy S25 Edge: Thin Phones Compared

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-18 18:19:15

If there's one thing customers want to see from the established phone titans, it's something new. Years of incremental improvements in processors, cameras and displays can occasionally be exciting, but unless you're upgrading from a several-years-old model, the differences tend to be relatively minor. So when Samsung released the super thin Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year, it got our attention. And, naturally, it sparked speculation that Apple would also release a new slim phone, which arrive

The iPhone 17 makes the iPhone 16e even more pointless

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 18:30:00

We were pretty underwhelmed by the iPhone 16e when it debuted earlier this year, mostly due to its $599 price tag, which makes it a poor replacement for the budget-oriented iPhone SE. And now that the iPhone 17 has debuted, the 16e makes even less sense. For $200 more, you get a larger and better screen with ProMotion, support for MagSafe wireless charging, a zippier processor, two cameras instead of one — and double the storage. Sure, that price difference hurts a bit, but I think the iPhone 17

Whereas the iPhone Air is all about showing off its ridiculously thin and light design, the iPhone 17 Pros go in the opposite direction with thicker and heavier designs.
