The Cupertino-based tech giant Apple has quietly rolled out the first beta of iOS 26.3, and it includes a built-in “Transfer to Android” feature. Found in Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone, the new feature helps iOS users migrate key content, such as their messages, notes, photos, and contacts, to a new Android device. The “Transfer to Android” feature works wirelessly by establishing a peer-to-peer Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection (similar to how AirDrop works for iOS devices). While Apple has had a “Move to iOS” app on the Google Play Store to help Android users migrate to iPhones,…

The all-screen iPhone 2027 rumor has a new twist: Apple may be planning a step-by-step rollout, instead of flipping the switch all at once. Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station says Apple could debut under-screen camera tech in its first foldable iPhone, then bring what works to a radically redesigned 2027 iPhone. The strategy, as described, is basically a public trial. An under-screen selfie camera puts the lens behind the display with no visible hole, but any hit to image quality would be obvious fast. A foldable model gives Apple a place to measure reaction before it commits that look to…

An early iOS 26 build from an iPhone prototype reportedly leaked last week, and MacRumors says it exposes internal feature flags tied to Apple’s future work. The source also frames it as a June 2025-era snapshot, so the safest way to treat it is as planning signals and not a launch promise. The iOS 26 leak is still useful because it ties features to rough windows, including Siri. Several Siri-related strings are labeled for spring 2026, which points to the next meaningful Siri shift arriving on a longer runway. Check what’s available now, since Apple’s public story and its internal…

General Motors recently announced plans to phase out support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across its vehicles over the coming years.

Apple just released the first beta build of iOS 26.3, introducing several new features set to arrive on compatible iPhones. The update adds a new transfer tool designed to make switching to an Android device much more seamless, a Weather wallpaper section for lock screen customization, and, most notably, support for viewing iPhone notifications on third-party wearables. According to MacRumors, the iOS 26 beta build includes a new “Notification Forwarding” setting that, when enabled, forwards incoming iPhone notifications to wearables from other manufacturers. This means iPhone users will now be able to view notifications on non-Apple smartwatches, albeit with some…

One of the biggest companies to watch over CES 2026, an annual tech event which this year starts on January 6, is Samsung. Actually, you should probably make an earlier mark on your calendar: the Korean brand’s tie-in press conference actually starts before CES, on January 4.  No, it’s not where we’ll see the Samsung Galaxy S26 family. Or the Galaxy Tab S12, or Buds 4 or Watch 9 or whatever other piece of mobile tech you’re yearning for from the brand. They’ll likely come later in January, or in February, but what Samsung does show off could be just…
