The iPhone’s journey began in 2007 by changing the smartphone market forever, replacing physical keyboards with a 3.5-inch multi-touch display. Now, as the device moves toward its 20th anniversary, Apple may be preparing for another major design shift, a seamless, completely buttonless iPhone. Is Apple planning its biggest iPhone redesign in years? Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has added fresh weight to the iPhone 20 redesign rumors. In the Q&A section of his Power On newsletter, Gurman said Apple’s 20th-anniversary iPhone overhaul is internally referred to by some as “Glasswing,” a name inspired by the glasswing butterfly and its transparent wings. According…

The company is officially stepping back from one of its most talked-about gaming features, and the timing says a lot about where things are headed. Why did Xbox cancel Copilot AI for gaming? Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has confirmed that Microsoft is ending development of Xbox Copilot AI across both consoles and mobile.

Google is finally giving Chrome users something that’s been oddly missing for years: a middle ground between “share everything” and “share nothing.” And honestly, it’s about time. What is approximate location sharing in Chrome? Google has introduced approximate location sharing in Chrome on Android, letting users choose between sharing their exact location or just a broader, less precise area like a neighborhood. Until now, most websites either got full access to the precise location or nothing at all. With this update, Chrome adds a new layer of control directly in the permission prompt, where users can pick between Precise and…

Meta has a new way of catching kids who lie about their age online, and it goes well beyond checking what they type.

There was a time when buying a PC felt… rational. 8GB of RAM got the job done, 16GB felt like a power move, and anything beyond that was reserved for people doing genuinely heavy work. That balance existed because software respected hardware. Today, that balance has quietly collapsed, and Microsoft seems perfectly okay with it. The company’s since-pulled guidance, casually positioning 16GB as the baseline and 32GB as the “no worries” zone, wasn’t just a recommendation. It’s a shift in responsibility. Because nothing about modern hardware suggests we suddenly need double the memory for the same everyday tasks. DDR5 memory…
