There's nothing like laying out a new planner with to-do lists and goals at the start of a new year. In the past, I would buy a new planner every year, but would eventually abandon filling it out by April.

Thanks to the way Google's for years now been deconstructing Android and pulling OS-level pieces out of the operating system itself - so they exist as regular ol' apps and can consequently be updated quickly, frequently, and in a way that reaches everyone instantly, regardless of what phone or carrier they're using - even Android phones from eight years ago get updates numerous times a year that are all virtually equivalent to an entire iOS operating system rollout.
As a company and brand, Apple has placed a great deal of emphasis on privacy over the years-both in its product design and in its advertising. Protecting user data is a major talking point and has driven ads like 2025's "Flock" campaign, in which bird-like cameras fly around tracking people in a dystopian setting.

The new feature, called Digital Home Key, will live inside Samsung Wallet and is powered by the Aliro smart home standard.

The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S10 both had variable aperture main cameras, but the feature was dropped with the Galaxy S20 generation in 2020.
