Adidas picks up the pace with a mobile-friendly shopping app that uses A.I.

Adidas has offered online shopping for a long time but you’ve always had to do it via a web browser. That may be just fine on a PC or laptop, but the process can get fiddly if you like to use your smartphone to shop.

The good news is that the sports clothing giant has finally gotten around to building a mobile shopping app for iOS and Android devices.

The new app offers everything from its latest shoes to clothing and accessories.

In an effort to offer a little more than its browser-based shopping experience, it will also come up with personalized product recommendations based on the sports you play and the kind of gear you like to wear. And with Adidas’s new app employing artificial intelligence technology, those recommendations should improve over time.

For now you can only use it in the U.S. or U.K., and you need to choose between the two when you open the app for the first time.

After that, you can scroll down the main page to explore current trends in the world of sports gear, or hit the shoe icon to start shopping. You’ll find products split between men, women, and kids, with additional categories including shoes, clothing, and accessories.

You can order using Apple Pay “or another favorite way of paying,” Adidas says, and track your goods via regular updates from the company.

Adidas has cleverly worked in other reasons to get you to open the app, such as by incorporating tailored news on sports and athletes that you’re into. Of course, you’ll also find updates on the latest Adidas gear to hit the market, likely with links to the store to encourage you to splash out on more gear.

For a bit of fun, there’s a “share how you wear it” feature where you can send in a photo of yourself posing in your swanky new Adidas gear for inclusion in a showcase of similar images so you can “see how your friends are wearing their Adidas.”

Finally, if you have any issues using the app, Adidas has agents available for an online chat around the clock, seven days a week. Of course, if Adidas isn’t your style, there’s always Nike.

This one iPadOS 26 feature has me excited for the iPhone Fold
Semi-open state of a foldable iPhone concept

Samsung is set to launch the seventh generation of its Galaxy Z Fold book-style folding phone this Summer, but its biggest rival is yet to show its folding phone hand. Apple has long been expected to unveil an iPhone Fold, and the latest rumors suggest that it will launch next year.

I’ve used almost every folding phone released globally, with some exceptions for extremely obscure ones. While I've always been curious what an iPhone Fold would look like, I was fairly certain that Apple shouldn't build it, as I wasn’t sure they could deliver on one necessary feature.

These are the 4 best alternatives to the Google Pixel 9a
A person taking the Google Pixel 9a out of a pocket.

The best cheap phone race has been reignited by the Google Pixel 9a, which brings the Google Pixel 9 series experience at a significantly lower price. Starting at $449, Google’s latest Pixel offers the flagship processor of its siblings for flagship-level performance, an excellent camera, and long-term software support.

Yet, Google’s software experience won’t be for everyone; there are obvious tradeoffs in the specs sheet to enable the low price; the camera bar design is somewhat polarizing for long-term fans, and there’s no telephoto camera.
