How Apple’s iOS 26 and Google’s Android 16 Will Change Our Phones
(www.nytimes.com)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What I hate about these AI-comparison articles is that nobody of those so-called "journalists" understands, that Apple's AI runs locally on the device. Whereas Gemini runs in Google's cloud - which in turn means that Google get's a copy of every single request/prompt. Also, no mention of iOS 26's new call screening feature - which asks unknown callers for their name and purpose of the call and displays this on the screen before your phone starts to ring. And, again, it's all happening on-device.
Every once in a while the ai part of my phone will get hot and I assume it got a new email or something. Generating emojis makes it a toaster!
