A new breed of Android flagships is coming and it should make Samsung nervous

iPhone with Active Siri

Apple is opening Siri to pick AI models, but there’s only one that makes sense to me 

Siri might become a flexible front-end that can tap into any AI model. Between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, one clearly makes more sense than the others, and it's not the one Apple chose first.

I won’t buy the Galaxy A37 at $450, but strongly recommend these 4 terrific options

My life turned into a subscription trap, but I axed the bad bills with these tricks

There was a time when subscriptions felt like a novelty. Those were times of (digital) peace. A seamless payment feature on cool new apps that brought unlimited access (for the month). You paid for Netflix, and maybe Spotify, and that was usually about it. Now, it’s streaming, cloud storage, fitness apps, editing apps, AI chatbots, […]
Android Quick Share with iPhone AirDrop

I see Galaxy S26’s AirDrop support as progress, but I just don’t think it changes much

Amazon’s one-hour delivery sounds great, but I’ve seen the human horrors of such services

Amazon is introducing 1-hour and 3-hour delivery across the US. But as ultra-fast delivery expands, it raises questions about pricing, long-term costs, and the pressure on delivery workers.

Google Pixel 10a in the hands of a person.

I am using the Google Pixel 10a and it’s a pretty misunderstood phone – in a good way

Soon after Google gave us our first glimpse of the Pixel 10a, it attracted plenty of heat. Looks identical to its predecessor. A no-upgrade chip situation. A similar status for the camera. And display. And battery. That’s a lot to take in.   It’s almost as if Google pulled an Apple. And somehow, did worse.  But […]

Google Pixel 10a dashed my hopes, but I can recommend these 6 phones instead

Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 10a, its newest entry in the A-series lineup. On the surface, it looks like another compelling budget-friendly Pixel: minimalist design, fresh colours, a large battery, and Google’s well-known AI features.
