WIRED's review of the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE finds strong daylight photos, a useful 3X optical zoom telephoto lens, and good 4K/8K video with stabilization features like horizontal lock and My FanCam framing. However, at $700 for the base 128 GB model, the reviewer says it's priced too close to the superior standard S26, which often sells for the same amount with a faster chip, more storage, and a better telephoto camera.
LiDAR on iPhone Pro models works by emitting light pulses and timing their return to measure distances to nearby surfaces, giving the device a sense of depth alongside camera imagery. Apple's ARKit uses this data to build a 3D mesh of a room's floors and walls, which apps like RoomPlan use to map furniture, doors and windows into a full 3D model. The sensor also boosts photography, enabling faster autofocus and Night mode portraits in dim lighting.
As part of an $18 billion settlement with 29 U.S. states over children's online safety, Meta agreed to major restrictions on how teens use Instagram and Facebook. The changes include a cumulative two-hour daily time limit across both apps, a default midnight-to-6 a.m. usage block, options for a non-algorithmic default feed, and usage-break prompts every 15 minutes, with most measures required to stay in place for a decade pending court approval.
