The rumored 20th anniversary iPhone design will be applied to both Pro models

Next year the original iPhone turns 20 - or rather, it's the 20th anniversary of its launch, as we doubt any units are still around. Apple has long been rumored to be planning something special to mark the occasion, and a few days ago a report talked about a 20th anniversary iPhone coming with a quad-curved screen. As it turns out, that won't be a special anniversary iPhone model - instead, that rumor was actually talking about a redesign coming to the Pro series. So the iPhone Pro and Pro Max released in 2027 will have that quad-curved screen design, which Chinese smartphone makers had...

Spotify starts verifying non-AI artists, adds more details about all artists

Spotify has started to verify non-AI artists, in a bid to increase "authenticity and trust for the artists behind the music". It's also a surefire way to imply that any artist who isn't verified is most likely AI. The Verified by Spotify badge will signify that the artist in question has consistent listener activity and engagement over time, a good standing with Spotify's platform policies, and "an identifiable artist presence both on and off-platform, like concert dates, merch, and linked social accounts". It goes without saying, but AI-generated or AI-persona artists are not...

AnTuTu results for April are in, iQOO leads the smartphone charts

At the beginning of every month, AnTuTu publishes charts showing us which devices had the best average score the previous month. So now these are available for April. Keep in mind that these are averages, not high scores, and that only benchmarks completed in China count. Without further ado, let's start with the flagship realm, where the iQOO 15 Ultra dominates, followed by the iQOO 15 and the RedMagic 11 Pro+. As you can see, the Realme GT 8 Pro was next, followed by the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, the Honor Magic8 Pro, the Honor Magic8, and the vivo X300 Ultra....

vivo S50t gets official, you won't believe what's different compared to the S50

The vivo S50 got unveiled in December alongside the S50 Pro mini, and today vivo also announced the S50t. Now, if you're wondering what's different in this model compared to the original S50, brace yourself, as it's just one detail and we're willing to bet you can't guess what. If you said "the UFS storage version", then you're correct. The S50 uses UFS 4.1 storage, while the S50t goes with the older (and cheaper) UFS 3.1. That's it. That's the only difference. In every other respect, the two handsets are identical. So, the S50t, like the S50, comes with a 6.59-inch 1260x2750 AMOLED...

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to have fewer cameras than its predecessor

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 series has recently been rumored to arrive with a big design overhaul - moving the camera island. In fact, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could look something like this: This is not a leaked image, it's just a speculative render based on the aforementioned rumor. From the same source, the prolific Ice Universe, comes another revelation: Samsung is going to be changing the S27 Ultra in the actual camera department too, not just the location of the camera island. Apparently, the 3x telephoto camera from the S26 Ultra (and its predecessors) will be gone in the S27...

Moto Buds 2 Plus arrive with Dynamic ANC, 9-hour battery life, Sound by Bose

Alongside the three new 2026 Razrs, the Moto G87, G47, G37, and G37 Power, Motorola has also introduced the Moto Buds 2 Plus TWS earbuds. These will go on sale later today at Motorola.com for $149.99. They are obviously the successors to the original Moto Buds+, launched back in 2024, and they're $50 cheaper than those. Like their predecessors, the Moto Buds 2 Plus feature sound by Bose, which still strikes us as odd - Bose makes its own TWS earbuds, after all, and these are competing in the same space (though not at the same price, granted). Anyway, the new Moto earbuds sport 11mm...
