Apple kicked off WWDC 2025 with its keynote presentation at its annual World Wide Developer’s conference, and it was a bumper affair.

We were treated to a raft of updates across all of the firm’s software platforms, as we were introduced to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26 and visionOS 26.

The updates are some of the biggest Apple has ever launched, with a ‘Liquid Glass’ redesign for all platforms its biggest since iOS 7, while the iPadOS 26 update is the largest ever for iPad.

How long was the Apple WWDC 2025 keynote?

Great question. Apple gave us the shortest WWDC keynote in years, with a run time of just over an hour and a half.

Latest Pixel 11 series leak offers the clearest look yet at Google’s next flagship

Google's next Pixel has leaked again, but this time almost nothing is left to imagine

Google's Pixel launches have become increasingly difficult to keep under wraps, and the Pixel 11 series appears to be no exception. Weeks before Google's scheduled August 12 launch event, a fresh leak has revealed what is claimed to be the complete set of official press renders for the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, showcasing every colour option across the lineup.

The renders, published by MyMobiles in collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, offer what is arguably the most comprehensive look yet at Google's next flagship family. If authentic, they not only confirm earlier design leaks but also reveal Google's colour strategy for 2026, including a vibrant Fuchsia finish for the standard model and a new copper-inspired "Dune" variant for the Pro series.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 vs. Motorola Razr Ultra (2026): Samsung’s flip phone is cheaper, but is it better?

One flip phone wins on value. The other wins on hardware.

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Flip phones have quietly become one of the most competitive corners of the smartphone market. It provides buyers with a satisfying folding snap, reducing the footprint to half the original size, and that’s the entire point. Motorola never really left the format after reviving the Razr name, while Samsung has spent generations treating the Flip line as its scrappy, budget-friendlier sibling to the Fold.

This year, though, the gap between the two camps has narrowed to the point where picking a winner requires genuinely reading the spec sheet and learning about the phones before putting your money into one. One phone leans hard into raw display firepower, while the other leans into a deeper software ecosystem and a friendlier price tag.

Samsung finally switched to silicon-carbon battery on Galaxy Z Fold 8. What’s so special about it?

One of Galaxy Z Fold 8’s biggest upgrade is hiding inside

Samsung has finally joined the silicon-carbon battery race with its latest batch of premium foldables packing the new battery tech. But details for this change were rather hard to spot on the spec sheets. The company has confirmed during media briefings that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 all use silicon-carbon batteries.

Even then, the resulting capacities are hardly record-breaking. The Fold 8 Ultra carries a 5,000mAh battery, the regular Fold 8 gets 4,800mAh, and the Flip 8 has 4,300mAh. Rivals from Honor and Motorola have already crossed the 6,000mAh mark. But the figures only tell part of the story.
