Samsung Galaxy A73 and Galaxy A33 are now getting One UI 6.1

Samsung started spreading the One UI 6.1 love to its mid-rangers recently, and today two more are receiving the update to the latest version of the Android skin. We're talking about the Galaxy A73 and Galaxy A33. The A73's update is currently rolling out in Malaysia as build A736BXXU7EXDC. It's a 2.6GB download and includes the April 2024 security patch level, which now seems to be a theme with the One UI 6.1 updates for Samsung mid-rangers. It's sad to not see the May security patch level since we're already well into May, but at least the rollout has started - so you win some, you lose...

TikTok wants to be YouTube now, tests 60-minute video uploads

TikTok is currently testing 60-minute video uploads, in its never ending quest to be more like YouTube. The feature is currently available to a limited group of users in "select markets", the company told TechCrunch. There are currently no immediate plans to make this available more widely, but the idea is clear here - with longer-form content, TikTok can attract some YouTube viewers on top of its usual audience who's looking for short-form videos to scroll through. At launch, TikTok had a 15-minute upload limit (much like YouTube used to back in the day), but this has steadily...

iOS 17.5 bug resurfaces old deleted photos for some reason

Apple released iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 earlier this week, and unfortunately there seems to be a problem with it - aside from the OLED iPad Pros experiencing a color reproduction bug. We're talking about old, deleted photos resurfacing. In some cases, these photos were deleted years ago, but they're reappearing in users' libraries. Suffice it to say, this is a huge privacy problem, if photos that should have ceased to exist are somehow still around on Apple's servers. One user over on Reddit reports seeing old photos deleted back in 2021 suddenly resurfacing and showing up as...

You will soon control your iPhone or iPad with your eyes

Today Apple announced a new suite of accessibility features coming "later this year" to its iPhones and iPads, so presumably these will be part of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, due to be officially unveiled next month. By far the most interesting of the bunch is eye tracking, which will be supported on both iPhones and iPads, and will let you control the devices with your eyes, just like the name implies. This is aimed at users with physical disabilities, but everyone will be able to use it. Eye tracking will be powered by AI (because everything has to be now). Initially you'll go through a...

Samsung's oft-rumored, not-yet-materialized Galaxy S24 FE does seem to be a real device that's coming at some point, at least if we go by new information revealed today. According to a tipster over on X, the first test One UI build for the S24 FE has appeared on Samsung's firmware server today. This is labeled S721BXXU0AXE3 / S721BOXM0AXE3 / S721BXXU0AXE3, and apparently the model number SM-S721B is already confirmed to belong to the European S24 FE.

No, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra isn't dropping its 3x tele camera, says Ice Unieverse

A report from a couple of days ago claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will ditch its 3x tele camera and instead rely on its 200MP main sensor for short-range zoom. Now reliable tipster Ice Universe says that it is “certain” that the next Ultra will still have four cameras. Ice specifically states that the 3x module isn’t going away. In fact, “an upgrade is very possible”. The 10MP 3x camera has been pretty much the same since it was introduced with the Galaxy S21 Ultra. There have been some variations in sensor size and the exact focal length (67 or 70mm), but nothing major. The...

Sony Xperia 1 VI is here - SD 8 Gen 3, better zoom and more conventional screen

The Sony Xperia 1 VI is official and it's looking like a welcome refinement of the Xperia 1 V formula. The biggest change is the move away from the staple 4K OLED in its cinema 21:9 aspect ratio and towards a more conventional 19.5:9 1080x2340px panel. The diagonal is still 6.5 inches, but with the new aspect it's actually a slightly larger screen. The display is now brighter too - up from 900 nits to 1,300 nits - and smarter - the LTPO panel variably adjusts between 1Hz and 120Hz, whereas the Xperia 1 V mostly toggled between 60Hz and 120Hz. This will likely have a positive impact...

Apple has released iOS 17.5, which should already be available to download and install for everyone with a supported iPhone. This version brings with it cross-platform support for unwanted tracker detection. This has been developed in cooperation with Google, and means Apple's Find My and Google's new Find My Device networks will work together to stifle unwanted tracking and stalking attempts, by alerting you if a tracker that isn't yours seems to be moving with you. These notifications will work regardless of what OS the device is paired with. It's been a long time coming for sure,...
