The moment a customer taps "Place Order," the most anxiety-driven part of the delivery experience...

Following its official debut last month, Google is now rolling out Android 17 to compatible Pixel phones, alongside additional exclusive features as part of the June Pixel Drop. Not every feature announced alongside the OS at the pre-I/O Android Show is available today though. Android 17 itself is arriving on Pixel phones today, and Google […]

Mobileye apparently wants to own some of the robotaxi market, even if that puts it in direct competition with companies it supplies its self-driving system to.

Verizon is launching a new Simplicity plan that starts at $30 / month for new customers, or $45 / month for existing ones. In its announcement, Verizon says the plan drops activation and upgrade fees, while offering one flat price for each line. The $30 price for new customers is an "initial promotional offer" that […]

The Commodore Callback 8020 is a nostalgic rejection of modern smartphones.

The service will leverage its Moovit platform to launch in an a US city in 2027.

Every food delivery app has the same promise: you tap a button, food shows up at your door. Testing...

Swift Testing shipped with Xcode 16 back in 2024. Swift Testing was built from the ground up for Swift. That means Swift concurrency is a first-class citizen, test cases run in parallel by default, and the API surface is dramatically smaller than XCTest's forty-plus assertion functions. One macro, #expect , replaces most of them. If you are still on XCTest, you have probably felt the friction: class inheritance for every test suite, function names that must start with test , assertion messages that tell you what the values were but not where the expression came from. Swift Testing fixes all of this. That said, you do not need to migrate everything at once, and WWDC 2026 is emphatic about this. The Migration Strategy: Small Chunks, No Big Bang The session opens with something refreshing: permission to be slow about this. The recommended approach is to leave your existing XCTests where they are and start using Swift Testing only for new tests. Both frameworks can coexist in the same target and even the same file. You do not need a separate test target, and you do not need a migration sprint. The one rule: Swift Testing tests cannot live inside XCTestCase subclasses. Everything else is fair game. Raw Identifiers for Readable Test Names One small quality-of-life improvement worth knowing about from the start: Swift supports raw identifiers using backticks, and Swift Testing takes full advantage of this. import Testing @testable import DemoApp @Test func ` Default climate : tropical ` () async throws { let fruit = Fruit ( name : "Coconut" ) #expect(fruit.climate == .tropical) } No more testDefaultClimateTropical or dealing with camelCase names in test output. The test name is the test name. Interoperability: The Key to Reusing Your Helper Code This is the main new story in WWDC 2026 and the feature that makes incremental migration actually work. The problem: you have test helper functions that wrap XCTFail . You want to call them from new Swift Testing tests. Previously,

android doze kills your background tasks and nobody explains why properly been building a react native app that schedules stuff to run later. worked fine every time i tested it. shipped it, and it started missing schedules. only when the phone had been sitting idle for a while. never on my desk. took me way too long to figure out what was going on so writing it up here. what happens you schedule something for 1am. check logs next morning: 01:00:00 alarm fired 01:00:02 connected (while back grounded, 2 seconds) 01:18:xx the actual send ran the connection came up fine. in 2 seconds. while the phone was back grounded. but the code that was supposed to do something with that connection ran 18 minutes later when something else woke the phone up. why doze mode freezes javascript timers. setTimeout, setInterval, any polling loop on the js thread-all frozen. but native events (connection callbacks, lifecycle events, native module bridges) keep firing. i had a setInterval checking "are we connected yet" every second. doze froze that loop. the connection came up, nobody noticed for 18 minutes because the thing checking for it was asleep. the phone could do the work. my code just couldn't tell. stuff i tried that didn't fix it foreground service — keeps the process alive but doesn't unfreeze js timers. not the problem. more setTimeout/setInterval variations, literally the thing causing it. spent two days making the problem worse. HeadlessJS dropped in without changes compiled, never ran on newer RN. lost a few hours there. the actual fix move everything off timers. put your work directly in the event handler. instead of polling to check if you're connected: js // this is frozen by doze. don't. setInterval (() => { if ( isReady ()) doWork () }, 1000 ) do this : jsconnection . on ( ' status ' , ( state ) => { if ( state === ' connected ' ) { doWork ( job ) } }) native events survive doze. timers don't. that's the whole thing. for waking up at the right time — native AlarmManager

From the day it was announced, on June 16th, 2025, the Trump phone sounded ridiculous. The T1 Phone 8002 (gold version), as it was officially called, was a combination of contradictory specs, product images that were clearly not photographs of a real phone, and the worrying requirement of a $100 deposit to secure a preorder […]

On paper, the Honor Magic V6 sounds like a tremendous leap forward for foldable phones: It's the thinnest one yet, with the biggest battery, and the best water-resistance ever. In practice, only the bigger battery feels like a meaningful improvement. The other upgrades are only fractionally superior to what came before. This isn't entirely Honor's […]

Vercel Labs recently open-sourced zero-native, a cross-platform framework for native desktop applications. Zero-native bypasses Electron runtime in favor or native OS WebViews and claims to achieve smaller, more efficient native apps with minimal overhead. Zero-native is written in Zig, thus directly interoperates with native C libraries, and features fast incremental compilation times. By Bruno Couriol

Andrew Yang made a list of everything Americans overpay for — housing, food, wireless — and thinks the next startup gold rush is giving that money back.

Cash App's AT&T-based MVNO will offer an unlimited 5G data plan for $40 per month including taxes and fees. The new mobile service is powered by Gigs, the same firm behind the Klarna mobile service that launched last year with the same pricing and is "rolling out to select users, with broader availability planned in […]

After getting its hands on a Trump phone and tearing it apart, iFixit has confirmed what I first reported back in February: the T1 Phone is an almost exact duplicate of the HTC U24 Pro. iFixit partnered with NBC to get hold of the network's media sample of the Trump phone, along with a U24 […]

WWDC26 brought a substantial round of updates to SwiftUI — not a ground-up redesign, but a lot of small limitations removed, new APIs that were clearly driven by real-world pain points, and meaningful performance improvements. This post walks through every major announcement so you know exactly what's available and when to reach for it. Look and Feel: Liquid Glass and the 2027 Releases The most immediately visible change costs you zero code. Apps built with SwiftUI automatically pick up the updated Liquid Glass appearance on the 2027 OS releases. The glass tint responds to the new system-level Liquid Glass slider without any changes on your part. On iPad, windows now dim when inactive, reinforcing which window has focus — again, automatic. On Mac, custom interactive Liquid Glass elements respond more fluidly to the mouse pointer. There are a few opt-in refinements available when you want tighter control: Responding to active state — use the appearsActive environment value to reduce opacity on custom elements when the window is inactive: struct SidebarFooterView : View { @Environment (\ . appearsActive ) private var appearsActive var body : some View { MyAccountView () . opacity ( appearsActive ? 1 : 0.5 ) } } Menu bar icons — the menu bar now shows a minimal set of icons by default. Add .labelStyle(.titleAndIcon) to a specific menu item to make its icon visible: CommandMenu ( "Stickers" ) { Button { openStore () } label : { Label ( "Store" , systemImage : "bag.fill" ) . labelStyle ( . titleAndIcon ) } } Resizability on iPhone iPhone apps become resizable on iOS 27, which matters for iPhone Mirroring and running iPhone apps on iPad. Xcode 27's Live Previews now include resize handles so you can test this interactively without running on a device. If your app mixes UIKit and SwiftUI, check the session "Modernize your UIKit app" for specifics around screen geometry, size classes, and orientation handling. Toolbar APIs The toolbar has been a source of friction on smalle

Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign was based on a warning that automation and AI would hollow out the labor market and concentrate wealth in the hands of a few. At the time, ideas like Universal Basic Income felt fringe. Now Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Bernie Sanders are all saying versions of the same thing. An entrepreneur at heart, […]

The media giant is pushing to expand its mobile and gaming business.

AT&T has introduced a new "Unlimited Day Pass" cellular data offer for iPad users who need brief connectivity instead of signing up for a long-term plan. The day pass is available for $3 in the US starting today, providing 24 hours of unlimited data, with no contracts, subscriptions, or credit checks required. This offer is […]
