Xiaomi has been making some cool cars lately. Back in December 2023, the Chinese smartphone maker unveiled their first car, the Xiaomi SU7.

For four generations, iPhones have stuck with a fixed aperture on the main camera. The iPhone 14 Pro, 15 Pro, 16 Pro and 17 Pro all used an f/1.78 aperture, so the physical lens opening stayed the same regardless of the scene. That changes with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Their 48MP Fusion …

Apple’s “Surprise and Shine” event concluded yesterday, and it could have left you with feelings of excitement and joy or disappointment and frustration, based on where you are in the world.

August was a busy months for smartphone enthusiasts, especially due to Google’s Pixel 11 series. September is going to be same, except for a different company: Apple.
