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.

The Pixel 11 Pro made me fall in love with Night Sight once again

Google Pixel 11 Pro Night Sight Featured

Night Sight used to be one of those Pixel features I couldn't wait to show people. Point a Pixel at a scene that you know would make any smartphone struggle, and watch the algorithm magic unfold. Google's computational photography could pull out an image that seemed impossible for any phone camera at the time.

Eight years later, night modes are everywhere, and I've largely stopped thinking about them. Every flagship I've used recently can brighten a dark room by stacking multiple exposures and producing a usable nighttime photograph--not to forget longer shutter speeds. But the Pixel 11 Pro made this unassuming feature even more convenient than before.

I underestimated the Pixel 11, and now I’m eating my words

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

It’s only been a week since Google launched the Pixel 11 series globally, and I’ve already been putting the Pixel 11 through its paces. This is the vanilla model of the bunch, and on the surface, Google hasn’t changed the design or tried to reinvent what already worked last year. And you know what? I’m completely fine with that.

I’ve always been a firm believer in “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and the Pixel 11 feels like Google took that saying pretty seriously. A lot of what made the Pixel 10 work is still here, just with a few tweaks sprinkled in. That might not sound particularly exciting, but after actually living with the phone for the past few days, I’ve found myself enjoying it more than I expected. So, rather than writing it off for looking a little too familiar, I gave this baby a proper chance. And while I’m still putting it through plenty of tests, there are already a few things about the Pixel 11 that I’ve really started to like.

Pixel 11 just got more expensive, but Google may have found a way to stop the bleeding

Google's big manufacturing shake-up could help Pixel 12 from getting even pricier

Google just pushed the prices higher for the entire Pixel 11 lineup. The hikes weren't surprising at all, especially considering the rising component costs and the ongoing RAMmageddon. But a new report hints that we might soon see a solution to all of this.

According to Nikkei Asia, Google plans to stop producing all Pixel devices in China starting in 2027, shifting manufacturing toward India and Vietnam. The reported move covers Pixel phones, watches, and wireless earbuds as Google continues reducing its reliance on Chinese manufacturing. As always, there's no guarantee Google will pass any resulting savings along to buyers. Though reducing its exposure to China at a time of volatile trade policy and spiralling component costs could give the company more flexibility when it comes time to price future Pixels.
