Snapdragon Demo: I Watched AI Create a Sound Bubble Around a Phone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAHAINA, Hawaii—AI is everywhere at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, including the actual air! Sort of. The company had a number of AI technology demos on hand, and the one that caught my ear involved silence. We're all familiar with how noise-cancelling headphones work. They use embedded mics to capture ambient sound, then process it with algorithms to generate an inverse sound wave that cancels it out. They function the same way whether you're listening to music or making phone calls. In the latt

LAHAINA, Hawaii—Qualcomm's latest flagship processor is already making waves, and it doesn't ship until later this year. I was able to run several tests on-site at the company's Snapdragon Summit event here in Maui, and was stunned by what I saw. At PCMag, we use benchmarking apps to showcase how phones and other devices perform. Two of the tests we run are Geekbench 6 and AnTuTu. These tests run on most devices and provide a gauge for raw speed, graphics capabilities, and more. Qualcomm had a n

They c
I Spent a Week With the iPhone 18 Pro Max. If You Think This Phone Is Boring, You're Missing the Point (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Don't let the familiar design fool you: The iPhone 18 Pro Max (starting at $1,299) is anything but a boring update. While its external dimensions, durability, and display resolution carry over from last year, Apple focused its real efforts inside. The result? Record-setting battery life, a mind-boggling speed leap via the A20 Pro chip, and a camera system that puts total control into the hands of visual creators. It isn't just an incremental step—it's Apple's most complete flagship yet, easily e
