That's according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has a good track record for covering Apple leaks and rumors. Gurman's most substantial details right now concern a three-year plan to upgrade the iPhone line, but there are rumors to explore that cover almost the entirety of the company's product line. As with any coverage of leaks and rumors, this is not meant to be definitive. Apple could end up doing all, some, or none of these things. While some predictions here are likelier than others, we just won't know what Apple's plans are until the company makes them official over the comin...

If you want to get anything done around the house—whether it’s basic maintenance or ambitious DIY renovations—you’re going to need some good-quality tools to do it. And tools, you may have noticed, are pretty expensive—especially with tariffs, driving those prices up even more.There are alternatives to buying your tools, of course—you can usually rent tools or even borrow them from a tool library. But renting only makes sense if you’re going to use that tool once, and borrowing tools means no guarantee you’ll get the tool you need when you need it. Sometimes owning that tool makes the most sense, and if you need to save a few bucks at the same time, there’s an easy solution: Buy a refurbished model.A certified factory ...

Google’s Pixel 10 phones made their official debut this week, and with them, a bunch of generative AI features baked directly into the camera app. It’s normal for phones to use “computational photography” these days, a fancy term for all those lighting and post-processing effects they add to your pics as you snap them. But AI makes computational photography into another beast entirely, and it's one I’m not sure we’re ready for.Tech nerds love to ask ourselves “what is a photo?” kind of joking that the more post-processing gets added to a picture, the less it resembles anything that actually happened in real life. Night skies being too bright, faces having fewer blemishes than a mirror would show, that sort of thing. Generative AI in the camera app is like the final boss of that moral conun...

This November marks 10 years since YouTube launched its own music service. While YouTube Music isn't as widely discussed as other streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify, it's a massively popular choice, with over 125 million subscribers—when you include the YouTube Premium users that get the service as part of their subscription, that is.To mark 10 years of YouTube Music, the company is adding four new features for both free and paid users.

Google debuted a bunch of new camera features that add AI to your photos during its Made by Google event yesterday, including one that claims to let you zoom in by 100 times—but there's one other AI-powered addition that doesn’t actually add AI to your final photo. Called Camera Coach, it essentially tries to ensure your pictures look perfect before you click the shutter rather than trying to fix them up afterwards. As someone who’s still wary of AI-generated imagery, could this be the perfect blend of man and machine I’ve been waiting for?How Camera Coach works Credit: Michelle Ehrhardt Not everyone took a photography course in high school like...

But most of the official announcements came via press releases on Google's blog The Keyword. Between the event and the blogs, here are the biggest announcements you missed: Pixel 10Google's flagship smartphone lineup is official.
