iPhone 17 Pro stars in new hands-on images
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, coming this September most likely, will bring with them a redesign of the rear, where there's going to be a massive camera island taking up the entire width of the device, Poco-style (in fairness, that's Poco from a while back, the Xiaomi sub-brand has since given up on such designs).
Today a couple of new hands-on images have been leaked depicting what is probably an iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit. Regardless of the fact that there are no electronics inside, this should be 1:1 accurate size-wise and design-wise to the final product, so the images are very useful - we can take another look at that camera 'visor' thing.

The cameras themselves seem to be in the exact same positions as they were in the iPhone 16 Pro, they're just part of a much larger island now. Otherwise, this looks like a recent iPhone, there's not much more to say. It's been rumored to switch to an aluminum frame along with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, ending the years-long experiments with stainless steel and titanium.
There will also apparently be a repositioned Apple logo on the back, now centered between the bottom of the phone and the bottom of the camera island in what is surely going to be quite a controversial design decision on the internet. Apple iPhone 16 Pro 128GB 8GB RAM $ 830.99

Why I like the Pixel's default QWERTY over the iPhone's keyboard
I always set up Gboard on my Pixel handsets the same way every time. I go to Settings > System > Keyboard > On-screen-keyboard > Gboard > Preferences and toggle on the following options: Number row-this leaves a dedicated 1-0 number row at the top of the keyboard, helping me access numbers faster. Emoji switch key-leaves a dedicated key to access emoji. Long press for symbols-this allows me to long-press on a letter key to type symbols and characters without having to switch to a second keyboard. Popup on keypress-typing on a key will result in a popup appearing with that letter character, number, or symbol to confirm that you pressed the key you wanted. Show app icon-allows an app icon for Gboard to show up in the launcher. Sound on keypress, Volume on keypress-I would have the first one toggled on and the second one set to 100%. I always like to hear that clicking sound when I type. I find it easy and fast to find characters, symbols, and numbers with this setup. With iOS, I don't like having to tap the numbers key on the bottom left to open a separate keyboard with number keys and some other keys for characters and symbols. There are also a few symbols that require a second tap to open yet another dedicated keyboard for the plus sign, the "pound" sign, and the equal sign. It seems that there are some who think the iPhone keyboard allows them to type with fewer errors than the Gboard QWERTY on Pixel. Take Reddit user RaistlinQ5 who wrote, "So I've always thought the Google keyboard isn't all that great. I always seem to hit the wrong key when typing. But if I use an iPhone keyboard, it seems like when using that keyboard, I don't have as many typing errors." How i like to set up Gboard on my Pixel phone. | Image credit-PhoneArena Others do not agree. One Redditor wrote, "Disagree. Coming from iOS, Google Keyboard on Pixel is far FAR superior." Another said, "I agree. I just moved to an iPhone and the keyboard is awful. Forever making errors and the keyboard always suggests the wrong words. It also loves to override any words I type that are not in its dictionary." And yet another comment was left in favor of the Pixel's virtual QWERTY. That comment said, "Strongly agree! The iOS keyboard was driving me insane!!! It honestly was one of my main reasons why I switched. Google's keyboard is light years better." At left, the settings to duplicate my QWERTY. At right, toggle switches for autoaspace after punctuation and auto-capitalization, | Image credit-PhoneArena If neither the iPhone or Pixel QWERTY is your cup of tea, the one third-party typing app that received some positive feedback by both iOS and Android users was Swiftkey. I've used the Android version of the app before and always returned to Gboard. Still, your experience could be different than mine. You can install Swiftkey for iOS by tapping on this link and the Android version of the keyboard can be installed by tapping here. The problem is that many Pixel users don't know what features their default virtual QWERTY has. Some on Reddit were complaining about features available on Swiftkey that they thought weren't found on the Pixel's Gboard QWERTY such as autospace after punctuation and auto-capitalization. However, those features are certainly found on the Pixel's Gboard keyboard. You have to enable them first. To toggle them on, open the QWERTY keyboard on your Pixel. You can do this by pretending to send a text. Once the keyboard appears on the screen, look for the gear icon and tap it. Once you've pressed the gear icon, tap on Text correction. You'll find toggles for both Autospace after punctuation, and Auto-capitalization. So before you decide that you need a new QWERTY for your Pixel, you should find out what it can do first before you complain what it can't do. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Weekly poll: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE?
They are here – Samsung launched its next-gen foldables this week. This includes a new Fold and a new Flip model and, for the first time, a cheaper Flip FE. Do you have your eyes set on a particular model – and if yes, which one? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is significantly thinner than its predecessor – it went from 12.1mm/5.6mm to 8.9mm/4.2mm when folded/unfolded. It's lighter too, 215g vs. 239g. That's 3g less than the S25 Ultra! However, Samsung had to make some sacrifices: the battery capacity stayed the same (4,400mAh) as did charging (25W/15W) and S Pen support has been removed. Both displays have gotten bigger – 6.5' cover display (up from 6.3') and 8.0' inside (up from 7.6'). This comes with increased dimensions, though, a folded phone now measures 158.4 x 72.8mm, compared to 153.5 x 68.1mm before. For what it's worth, the vanilla S25 is 70.5mm wide and the Edge is 75.6mm, so the Z Fold7 is still usable one-handed. The phone now boasts a 200MP main camera and other upgrades – check out the camera samples we took out and about in New York. One change that may prove less popular is that Samsung removed the under-display camera inside and replaced it with a 10MP punch hole camera – it offers better quality, sure, but now there's a hole in the 8' display. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 has slimmed down as well – from 14.9mm/6.9mm on its predecessor to 13.7mm/6.5mm (the weight is essentially unchanged at 188g). However, this model brings a bigger battery – 4,300mAh isn't huge, but surprising to see given the slimmer build (and since Samsung couldn't increase the capacity of the Z Fold7 battery). Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 This one also has bigger displays inside and out – an edge-to-edge 4.1' cover display and a 6.9' inner display. However, the only notable change in the camera setup is the 10-bit HDR video support (also available on the Z Fold7). That means no dedicated zoom lens, so you'll have to make do with 2x in-sensor zoom from the 50MP main. Check out our camera samples to see what that looks like. Don't miss our Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 hands-on if you want to know more about these foldables. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is kind of a re-release of the Z Flip6. Here's the comparison – long story short, last year's Exynos 2400 (from the S24 series) replaces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. The performance is about the same, but efficiency is a concern. The S24+ (Exynos 2400, 4,900mAh battery) scored 12:30 in our Active Use test, while the S24 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 5,000mAh) lasted longer and scored 13:49. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE The FE has the same battery capacity as the Z Flip6, 4,000mAh, despite being thicker than the Z Flip7. Also, it has less RAM, 8GB vs. 12GB. And if that wasn't enough, the Z Flip7 FE is not available from US carriers (retailers do sell unlocked units, though). While we're on the topic of chipsets, we should note that the premium Galaxy Z Flip7 is powered exclusively by the Exynos 2500 – yes, even in the North American market. Have a look at the pricing. The Z Flip7 FE starts at $200/£200/€200 less than the Z Flip6 did last year, but you can still find Z Flip6 units – and they often cost less than the FE. As for the other two, the Z Fold7 got pricier, while the Z Flip7 costs the same as the Z Flip6 did at launch. Samsung's new foldables Has the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 won you over with slimmer and lighter design or has it turned you away with its price hike? Or was it the removed features? Vote below and leave a comment with your thoughts. What about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7? It fixes most of the major complaints we had with the Z Flip6, other than the camera and charge speed. What do you think? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is necessary – foldables can be quite expensive! But it's still more than something like a Motorola Razr or Razr+. How do you feel about the FE?

HMD, licensee of the Nokia phone brand, is hanging up on the U.S. phone market
On Threads, Wired's Julian Chokkattu shared a statement from HMD that was released a few days ago. The company is known for licensing the Nokia name since 2016 for use on Android smartphones, feature phones, tablets, and accessories. In the statement, HMD says that it is "scaling back" its U.S. operations. Noting that it has a priority to ensure a seamless transition for its customers and business partners, HMD says it will honor warranties, continue to provide service for existing products, and provide full support globally. The company says that the "challenging geopolitical and economic environment" has led it to cut back on its U.S. operations. We assume that these "geopolitical and economic" issues are related to the tariffs that the U.S. is imposing on products being imported into the United States. While the company is using the phrase "scaling back," it seems more likely that this statement marks the end of HMD's business selling phones and other related consumer electronics in the U.S. HMD also mentioned that it deeply values the contributions of its U.S. colleagues who are affected by the company's action and says that it will continue to help support them during the transition. Some of the Nokia phones built by HMD brought back older, popular Nokia feature phones that were big hits before the iPhone took smartphone popularity to a new level. Those included the Nokia 3310 (originally released in 1997 and re-released by HMD in 2017) and the Nokia 8110 (launched in 1996 and re-released in 2018 as the Nokia 8110 4G). The latter was the "Banana phone" used in "The Matrix." The Nokia 3310 re-issue brought back the iconic "Snake game made famous with the original release. The five 12MP cameras on the back of the 2019 Nokia 9 made by HMD. | Image credit-PhoneArena In 2019, HMD brought back the PureView name originally used on the Nokia 808 PureView in 2012. The Nokia 9 PureView had so many issues, we gave it a 4 out of 10. The processor in this 2019 flagship was from 2018; there were issues with the camera software, and the battery quickly ran out of power during a typical day. In January 2024, HMD decided to stop using the Nokia name and sold its new phones under the HMD moniker, which stands for Human Mobile Devices. The Wired's Julian Chokkattu shares HMD's goodbye message to the U.S. on Threads. | Image credit-Threads HMD's licensing agreement with Nokia ends in 2026. Unless another company wants to give the name another shot in the highly competitive smartphone market, it appears that Nokia will soon join BlackBerry as two early leaders in the smartphone industry that couldn't keep up with the changes to the device that were first made by by Apple in 2007.
