Election Day is less than two weeks away. On November 8, the American citizenry will have the opportunity to choose its next leader, and one app wants to make sure that as many people as possible take advantage of that opportunity.

Public transportation app Moovit has partnered with politically minded nonprofit Rock the Vote to drive voter turnout — quite literally. Via this latest collaboration, Moovit users will be notified of their state’s voter registration deadline and have access to easy-to-navigate trip planning to their local polling places on Election Day.

In honor of the historic election that is just 13 days away, Moovit will ensure that its users will be able to “quickly find the best route to his or her polling place,” no matter if this route involves public transit, bikesharing services, or Uber. In the Directions tab of the Moovit app, in which users can normally find one-tap directions to their favorite locations, they’ll also be able to look into suggested routes to assigned polling stations. And within the Stations tab, users will find polling station location information, as well as real-time information for nearby arriving transportation options.

“Moovit is proud to promote civic engagement through our partnership with Rock the Vote,” said Moovit North American Country Manager David Klein. “By reminding citizens to register and enabling them to quickly arrive at polling stations, the Moovit app is empowering users to participate in this year’s presidential election.”

Rock the Vote Director of Civic Technology and Policy Jen Tolentino echoed these sentiments, noting, “Rock the Vote is thrilled to partner with Moovit to promote easy online voter registration and provide important election information to their millions of millennial users. One key public transit destination that young voters should not miss this year is the voting booth — and with polling place information now built into the Moovit app, we hope that they won’t.”

Google has started rolling out the second beta update of Android 16 for supported Pixel devices. There are not many user-facing features arriving with this build, but Google is making a few framework changes that will enhance the camera experience for users in the near future.

The most notable change is a new hybrid auto exposure system arriving with the Camera2 API upgrade. So far, users have only had access to rudimentary controls in the auto-mode for capturing stills and videos. For deeper controls, there was no other option than digging into the cluttered Pro mode.

Why are really old iPhones suddenly so popular?

Depending on what you see in your social network feeds, you may have noticed a sudden rise in the use of old Apple iPhone models, along with equally ancient digital cameras, to take photos, and wondered what was going on. Why use an old iPhone, when new ones have better cameras? One possible reason is an emerging social trend in South Korea, where people are clamoring for old Apple iPhone models specifically for the cameras and the type of photos they can take.

It’s part of a trend referred to as “youngtro,” a portmanteau of young and retro, and is most popular among Millennials and Gen Z, according to a report published in English by The Korea Times, from a story in the Korean Hankook Ilbo newspaper. The interest goes beyond “vintage” smartphone cameras and even extends to dated, discontinued digital cameras, and is so popular, even well-known singers and celebrities are embracing the trend, sharing photos on social media where the old cameras and smartphones take an equally centerstage role in the image.

Design leaks about the new phone, which is expected to replace the iPhone Plus in the iPhone 17 series lineup, have gradually emerged. Now, WEIS Studio has released an Instagram video that shows what the phone could look like.

As you can see, the phone's back looks nothing like any iPhone currently on the market. This is because rumors suggest the rear camera system will sit horizontally, not vertically.
