An APK breakdown has revealed a work-in-progress feature within the Android app’s code, suggesting that Google is exploring the possibility of adding resizable windows. This update would allow users to freely adjust the size of the Google Keep window on their mobile devices.This potential change could be a game-changer, particularly for users who rely on Google Keep on larger screens or devices with unique form factors. Currently, the mobile app offers limited window size…
There was a time when even the best Android phones were no match for Apple’s iPhones in terms of software support. Unlike Android manufacturers, Apple shies away from explicitly mentioning how long its phones will be supported for, but it generally provides five to six years worth of updates, and a few of its handsets were supported for seven years. So, does Apple have no official support policy? It kind of does, according to a new report.As spotted by Dave Kleidermacher, the VP of Engineering for Android Security & Privacy, Apple is now required by the new UK’s Product Security…
The upcoming iPhone 16 series is expected to debut sometime in September, so we are just a summer away from seeing it live. Rumorville is already buzzing with gossip, hinting at some upgrades, especially for the top-tier models – the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.Word on the street is that Apple is set to go big with these new releases, quite literally. Both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max might feature larger screens, marking the first size increase for the Pro line since 2020’s iPhone 12.But that’s not all. A recent leak suggests that these new…
In a hypothetical world, all smartphones would have edge-to-edge screens with no buttons and ports. Every year, we get closer to that goal, with manufacturers reducing bezel length with each generation and coming up with ways to move sensors out of view. This year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to continue on that path, with a new leak saying it “will be the world’s closest smartphone to a borderless sci-fi form factor.”Previously, it was revealed that the iPhone 16 Pro Max would break records for the thinnest bezels on a smartphone. Today, leaker Ice Universe has shared some more…
Oppo will be democratizing the access to the most suitable device to take advantage of the AI era – the phone – by bringing its productivity and creativity features downmarket to virtually all of its handsets.The company behind the excellent Find X7 Ultra and foldable Find N3 phones used the festivities around its sponsorship of the UEFA Champions League and its Bouissia Dortmund – Real Madrid final to present its vision for artificial intelligence that it simply calls the AI Phone.The abovementioned flagships, however, won’t be the only ones getting Oppo’s AI Summary, real-time Translation, or the popular AI Eraser…
The Screen Time app for the iPhone was announced during WWDC in 2018 and measures how much time you spend each day using apps, websites, and more. It was created by the crew in Cupertino in response to headlines at the time that got the public worried about smartphone addiction. The app also allows a parent to limit the usage of a child’s iPhone and iPad by time while also allowing a parent to restrict a child from opening certain apps and visiting specific websites.What is going on with Screen Time that parents should be worried about?Last July, Apple acknowledged…
What you’re looking at below (in yellow) is a fan-made render of a more “futuristic” Nokia Lumia device. Posted on Twitter, the render dates back to February 2023.Little did this Nokia fan know that HMD – Nokia’s new caretaker, will replicate their idea of what a “futuristic” Nokia Lumia phone would look like… almost 1:1. At least if you look past the rear camera placement.And I have some thoughts…What a comeback! HMD is bringing back the iconic Nokia Lumia design – could these be the most unique-looking phones of the year? On the left, a fan-made, “futuristic Nokia Lumia” render…
Samsung’s 2024 Galaxy Unpacked event that is set for July is getting closer, which means that there is not that much left until we get to see the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in action. Unfortunately, among all of the rumored upgrades, it is highly unlikely that we will be seeing big changes to the battery capacity this year, and probably no changes to the charging speeds.Nevertheless, as far as battery life is concerned, power optimization might improve, which can make the next Z Fold last longer than its predecessor.Below you will find everything we know about the battery and charging…

If you didn’t get a text message from your “Un-carrier” notifying you of an imminent price increase with the bulk of affected customers a couple of weeks back, we’re afraid you may not be out of the woods yet, and you should probably check your phone’s inbox again. The timing of this apparent second wave of notifications is especially infuriating when you consider that T-Mo’s price hikes are scheduled to go into effect on June 5, which is… today. Magenta doesn’t seem to have any intention of offering an extension of any sort on this date for recipients of these late…
On a table in his lab at the University of Pennsylvania, physicist Sam Dillavou has connected an array of breadboards via a web of brightly colored wires. The setup looks like a DIY home electronics project, but this unassuming assembly can learn to sort data like a machine-learning model. While its current capability is rudimentary, the hope is that, if it works, it could help spark a far more energy-efficient approach to building faster AI. Read the full story. —Sophia Chen How QWERTY keyboards show the English dominance of tech Have you ever thought about the fact that, despite the…
One of the most popular Bluetooth speakers on the market is once again a dream come true for music fans on a budget! We’re talking about the incredible JBL Flip 6, of course. By now, you’re probably used to it being discounted by $30 at Amazon, but Walmart again tops this offer, albeit not by much. If you pick this seller, you can save $33 on the small but capable device. While this isn’t the best price ever for the popular item, you just won’t find it at the same discount at Best Buy or Amazon. In other words, if…
Last week, MIT Technology Review published an excerpt from a new book, The Chinese Computer, which talks about how this problem was solved in China. After generations of work to sort Chinese characters, modify computer parts, and create keyboard apps that automatically predict the next character, it is finally possible for any Chinese speaker to use a QWERTY keyboard. But the book doesn’t stop there. It ends with a bigger question about what this all means: Why is it necessary for speakers of non-Latin languages to adapt modern technologies for their uses, and what do their efforts contribute to computing…

Does Apple make the best smartwatches in the world? That’s an incredibly difficult question to answer without letting your brand loyalty cloud your objective judgment, but what’s not up for debate is that the Cupertino-based tech giant makes the best-selling wearable devices out there.That’s been the case basically for as long as we can remember, but if the latest industry trends easily noticeable in the IDC (International Data Corporation)’s research continue for a few more quarters, the situation could well change, with Apple’s global supremacy being threatened from a number of directions.What’s going on with Apple Watches and AirPods?To be…
