iOS 27 plans big changes for Apple’s Camera app, with a new report saying it will be “fully customizable.” Here are the details. Here’s what to expect from iOS 27’s Camera app Last month, Bloomberg reported that iOS 27’s Camera app will get a new “Siri” mode offering visual intelligence capabilities. But according to a new report, it appears that’s just a small part of what’s coming to the Camera app. Mark Gurman writes to Bloomberg: Apple Inc. plans to upgrade its Camera app, making the software fully customizable as part of a broader set of UI changes coming in…

Norbert Maurice/Shutterstock Every year, Google showcases new Android features at its Google I/O developer conference. While AI once again plays a major role in many of Google’s I/O announcements for 2026, the company also revealed several practical Android upgrades aimed at improving everyday usability on Android devices. Most of the new additions build on changes that Google works on regularly, like deeper Gemini integration across the platform and improved privacy and security features to help combat the growing cybersecurity issues facing online users.

The iOS 27 unveiling is only a few weeks away, and rumors about new features continue to pour in. Here are rumors of upcoming iOS 27 upgrades for two of the most popular iPhone apps: Camera and Photos. Camera app adding new Siri mode with visual intelligence The Camera app on iPhone is rumored to add a whole new “Siri” mode in iOS 27. Joining existing modes such as Photo, Video, Portrait and Pano, Siri Mode will integrate Apple’s visual intelligence features into the native Camera app. Currently, Visual Intelligence is an entirely separate feature in iOS. You access it…
It appears that new Call of Duty games will no longer be available on last-gen platforms like the PS4 and Xbox One, forcing fans of the franchise to purchase newer, expensive consoles. The official brand recently published on social networks that “the next Call of Duty is not developed for PS4”. The post didn’t specifically mention the Xbox One, but I’m not sure why a developer would waste resources on the less popular of the two. Call of Duty was one of the last major franchises to thrive for the aging console generation. The…

Here are six new features announced for the iPhone 18 Pro. Revised design: Dynamic Island shrinks, unified back The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to retain the basic sizes and designs of this year’s models.

Linux 7.1 has entered the release candidate phase, and if it proves to be a stable enough release in the coming weeks, it will be released for everyone to use. The new version removes support for the i486 processor, released in 1989, because it was impossible to continue maintaining it when no one was probably using it yet. While some people have lamented Linux dropping support for a piece of hardware, the truth is that I think it was necessary for Linus to do so. And not only that, but I think the core would be better off cutting it…
For far too many years I’ve used Trakt and Letterboxd to track everything from movies I’ve watched to rating them, keeping a watchlist and too often skimming through them only to discover I was about to queue up a movie I’d already seen. It worked, but since I migrated most of my services to a self-hosted stack, I’ve been looking for a tool that can replace this online tracking as well. While finding a self-hosted alternative was certainly a priority for me, the bigger problem was that my media life was rarely limited to movies. I also monitor TV shows,…
Archive images / Shutterstock Wireless headphones, including over-ear models and earbuds like Apple AirPods, are commonly seen in public, as many smartphone users rely on these accessories to listen to their favorite content and talk on the phone while on the go. Some people may wear their headphones throughout the day, even when they are not listening to music, to the point of forgetting to take them off when the situation calls for it. TSA checkpoints are a scenario where some headphone users may not remove their devices when preparing…
iOS 26 overhauled one of the iPhone’s original and most iconic apps: the Phone app. Although I’ve never enjoyed phone calls, two great new features make them much better in iOS 26 and have made me a big fan of the app. The Phone app was redesigned in iOS 26, but the best changes have nothing to do with design Apple doesn’t introduce big app redesigns very often. And its recent record of major changes isn’t the best. For example, the Photos redesign in iOS 18 proved to be very controversial, leading Apple to roll back some of the major…
