TL;DR Apple’s new iPhone Duo brings iOS tweaks to enhance one-handed usage. UI elements such as the status bar, dock, and app navigation buttons are moved to the right to allow easy access. The Dynamic Island is now vertical instead of horizontal to utilize the space better. Foldables are suddenly watercooler talk. That’s because after…
TL;DR Apple’s Readiness feature turns activity, sleep, and vitals into a daily 0–10 score. Unlike Google’s (Fitbit) morning score, Apple’s guidance adjusts as your body and activity change. Readiness appears exclusive to the Series 12 and Ultra 4, possibly due to new sensors. Fitness trackers have happily told us how much we moved, how poorly…
TL;DR The iPhone Duo comes with several camera features specifically designed for a foldable form factor. “Kid Cue” plays animations on the outer screen to grab kids’ attention and is similar to the Pixel’s “Made You Look” feature. The iPhone Duo also features “Smart Take” for easier group photos, previews on the outer screen, and…
TL;DR The new AppleCare One Family plan covers all eligible devices for up to six members in a family group for $49.99 per month. It includes accidental damage, battery replacement, and theft and loss protection. Google doesn’t have anything comparable, and it really needs to adopt this idea for Pixel Care Plus. Alongside the foldable…
TL;DR A new AI voice mode is rolling out in SwiftKey beta, and it works similarly to Gboard’s Rambler mode. It can transcribe your ramblings into properly formatted text, complete with punctuation. It also works completely offline, unlike Rambler mode. If you’ve been itching to try out the new Rambler mode in Gboard but don’t…
Unless Google has any surprise announcements hidden up its sleeves, the company should be done with new product launches for the rest of the year. And what a year Google had. Although 2026 may not have been the most exciting year for Google/Pixel hardware, it was still a darn good one. The Pixel 10a is…
I’ve been using Google Calendar to manage my life for years. It reminds me of upcoming meetings, appointments, and other scheduled events for the day so that I don’t miss them. The app is free to use, and because it belongs to the Google ecosystem, it blends seamlessly into my workflow. However, the way certain…
TL;DR Apple’s new Live Rewind feature can show a text snippet of what was said during the previous 15 seconds. A double-press of the Digital Crown activates it, while Siri can answer questions about the captured text or save it for later. Apple has added visible and audible privacy safeguards, but a watch that can…
TL;DR Motorola has teased a new folding phone with proportions similar to Apple’s new iPhone Duo. The phone previously leaked last week in the form of sketches. We expect Moto’s wider foldable will be announced in the months ahead. Apple announced a bunch of new stuff today: the iPhone 18 Pro, new AirPods, new Apple…
TL;DR Pixel 11 phones can now install Google’s CD1A.260905.001.B1 release. This follows an A1 update distributed back at the start of the month. Neither release delivers Android 17 QPR1. Today may be all about Apple launches, with the introduction of both the iPhone 18 Pro series and the new foldable iPhone Duo, but we’ve still…
