Unless you leave your belongings behind and the driver speeds away. Alas, phones top Uber’s 10th lost and found list, released in early June 2026, with more than a million lost phones reported in the past year. But those aren’t the only tech gadgets…
The Calendar and Reminders apps look pretty much the same as they did in iOS 26, but there are some useful new Apple Intelligence features that make both apps more intuitive.

You can’t just open the Calendar app and type “meet Eric at 2 p.m. on July 14” and file it correctly like…

We’ve all been there. Put a frozen burrito or Hot Pocket in a microwave, pop it for a few minutes, and boom: you have a tube of melted liquid at the ends with a piece of still-frozen gunk bulging in the middle. Microwaves are incredibly convenient, especially if you’re in a hurry. They can heat food or drinks from refrigerated to nuclear in seconds, and even cook raw foods in a fraction of the time it takes in a conventional oven. But they’ve always been hamstrung by one major problem: No matter how much…
Smith Collection/gado/Getty Images We’re in the heart of the 2020s, and yet it’s still very common to find toys, remote controls, and smart devices that run on AA batteries. Unless you grew up with those legendary gadgets born in the ’90s, many of which were battery-powered, you probably never got into the habit of keeping extra batteries on hand around your home.

Previously, all slides fell under the same caption, which certainly made it difficult to tell a cohesive multi-image story. This is accessed via a toggle when you tap the caption box. This way, it’s up to users if they want to put in the extra effort to think of a bunch of new captions. It’s currently rolling out, but it could take about a week to reach all Instagram users.…
