Digital Trends
Are you reading this on an iPhone? According to Google Analytics nearly a quarter of you are, so if it’s not you, tap the fellow to your left and read over his shoulder — I’ve got some news you’ll both find useful.

While we’re proud as hell of our beautiful website, which puts the gaudy colors and bland lists of other tech sites to shame, our iPhone app … well, let’s just say it wasn’t so good.

Introducing version 2.0 of our iPhone App (actually version 1.4, just to keep you on your toes). This refresh finally brings our app into the 21st century, with updated sections, new graphics and logos, dramatically speedier response times, and an end to all the crashes.

Beyond our deep daily news and in-depth product reviews, the app lets you watch all of Digital Trends’ videos, comment on articles, and share across a variety of social networks.

We’re not leaving out Android users, of course! A Google Play Newsstand Edition of Digital Trends should be out any minute now, letting you download articles and read on the go.

And watch for Digital Trends to pop up … well, pretty much everywhere in the near future. We’ve built apps to port our articles onto Samsung TVs — give it a whirl if you’ve got a smart TV! — and an app for LG should be ready shortly. Meanwhile, apps for Roku and Amazon Fire TV will let you watch our content on those platforms as well.

Like what you see? Write us a positive review! Hate it? Let me know why, and we’ll do what we can to fix any errors you stumble upon.

iPhone SE 4: news, rumored price, release date, and more
The Apple iPhone SE (2022) and Apple iPhone SE (2020) together.

While the spotlight always seems to be on Apple’s mainline iPhones, the iPhone SE is a great pick for those who are on a budget. If you want an iPhone that doesn't break the bank, the SE is the way to go.

The original iPhone SE came out in 2016, and then Apple revamped it in 2020 and 2022 by giving it some more modern hardware. The iPhone SE tends to get updated every two or so years rather than annually like the traditional iPhone. This means  that we should see a new iPhone SE 4 this year, but it’s not so cut-and-dried with this particular model.

3 reasons why I’ll actually use Anker’s new iPhone power bank
A person holding the Anker MagGo Power Bank.

Power banks are a necessary evil, and even if you don’t consider yourself a “power user” who's likely to drain a phone’s battery in less than a day, there will be times when one comes in handy. And when I am forced to carry one, I want it to be as helpful and versatile as possible.

I’ve been trying Anker’s MagGo Power Bank 10K -- meaning it has a 10,000mAh cell inside it -- and there are three reasons why I'm OK with it taking up valuable space in my bag.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.
