José Adorno/BGR Released in 2022, the third generation of the iPhone SE was the last before the range was discontinued at the start of 2025. Apple replaced it with the all-new “e” models, initially available with the iPhone 16e. Using a similar design to the iPhone, the iPhone SE 3 featured a 4.7-inch LCD screen, Touch ID authentication in the home button, a simple 5G modem, and the A15 Bionic – the same processor introduced with the iPhone 13. However, four years later, is this iPhone still worth buying? It…

Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, explained why the company launched a standalone Siri app in iOS 27, after previously calling a dedicated chatbot contrary to its Apple Intelligence strategy. The new Siri app, announced at WWDC earlier this week, gives users a centralized place to manage and review their conversations with the Siri AI. Federighi addressed this apparent about-face during a post-keynote discussion for media at Apple Park this week, responding directly to a question about Apple’s past public stance. After WWDC 2025, Federighi and senior vice president of global marketing Greg Joswiak went on a…
This is an interim measure while the European Commission investigates the ban. miss.cabul/Shutterstock The European Union has ordered Meta to open WhatsApp again for free to AI chatbots from rival companies, as part of an investigation into the messaging app’s owner over possible antitrust violations. Meta introduced a new policy in October 2025 banning third-party AI chatbots from the WhatsApp for Business API, making Meta AI the only chatbot that can access the service. Before the ban, businesses could send notifications via WhatsApp, such as order alerts, using other AI assistants. EU officials opened an antitrust…
Apple, at this year’s WWDC, emphasized that its approach to developing iOS 27 was to add fewer new features and improve existing ones. Examples of this approach can be seen throughout the operating system, but it’s arguably most evident in the upcoming changes to Messages. That’s not to say there’s nothing original in Messages in iOS 27. For example, a new Apple Intelligence feature brings content-aware suggestions directly into conversations. If someone asks for photos, for example, Messages can recognize what’s being discussed and suggest searching your photo library, using details like people, places and keywords to bring up relevant…

While many were set to benefit from significant new AI features – like iOS 27 – other systems like tvOS 27 are expected to receive their own upgrades. tvOS 27 will bring several new features to Apple TV devices, some of which are designed to make your Apple TV even better. However, the basics boil down to a more…
With the launch of iOS 27 and HomePod 27 software, Apple is adding support for AutoMix, Apple’s AI-powered Apple Music feature that mixes songs using the corresponding key and tempo. Apple says it has improved AutoMix’s underlying algorithms to generate new types of transitions, allowing for smoother mixes between tracks, which should also benefit the newly introduced feature for HomePod. Running Apple’s current HomePod 26 software, Apple Music’s AutoMix feature is not available on HomePod. Users running the existing software only have access to the crossfade feature which improves transitions between songs. If AirPlay to HomePod users and the device…
Apple revealed this week what its most advanced on-device AI model does, and the list of features is shorter than hardware requirements might suggest. In its Siri AI announcement at WWDC 2026, Apple confirmed that the model enables two things: more expressive Siri voices and a major gain in accuracy for system-wide dictation. Both require 12 GB of unified memory. Among current iPhones, this limits the most powerful AI model to the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, alongside iPad models with the M4 chip or later, Macs with M3 or later, and Apple Vision Pro…
Apple previewed new iOS 27 features during the WWDC 2026 keynote, focusing on Apple Intelligence and Siri AI. It seems that iOS 27 aims to deliver on the promises made a few years ago, in addition to providing a more stable and reliable experience for users in general. Along with this, iOS 27 also sets the stage for Apple’s upcoming iPhone Fold. During the company’s State of the Union platform session, Apple told developers that they should not focus on developing apps for specific devices or fixed orientations, but should prepare for “a dynamic…
Pixel-Shot/Shutterstock If you have a standard router and are having trouble with a dead spot in your home, a reliable way to solve this problem is to install a Wi-Fi repeater. This will do what it says on the tin: it will “extend” the range of your Wi-Fi network, providing signal boost to areas that have spotty coverage. You are supposed to install extenders near the problem area, which then act as a bridge between your main router and devices located in the dead zone. Netgear and TP-Link have some…
