The Trump phone is allegedly shipping this week, the company claims. This has been quite the saga, as these gold-hued smartphones were supposed to reach customers all the way back in August (and then October.)

Before I/O 2026 kicks off on May 19, Google has promised to share an update on its Android ecosystem.

Syncing clipboards on Android phones and computers can be a powerful tool, allowing users to copy in one place and paste in another seamlessly. When functioning well, it creates a harmonious workflow between devices.

If you take mobile security seriously (and you should), then you might want to consider file encryption. This is all about encrypting files that you can either leave on your device and view when needed or share with others, knowing they can be viewed only by the recipient.

According to the survey, 96.4% of iPhone users plan to stick with Apple for their next upgrade, a rise from 91.9% in 2021 and 90.5% in 2019.

Over the past decade, there have been a handful of occasions when an Android update wreaked havoc on my phone. Once, it was so bad that I had to do a factory reset and start over.
