Siete de los diez puestos del top 2025 han sido ocupados por Apple. Mención especial al iPhone 16 que ha sido el gran vencedor de esta clasificación.La privacidad sigue estando como tema de preocupación entre los usuarios más geek de Apple.

We've been covering what's happening in Minnesota, and the killing of Alex Pretti, all week on The Verge. To begin this episode, Nilay explains why — and why so many others seem to feel the same way right now. After that, the hosts talk about the CEO-studded screening of Melania Trump's documentary last weekend, the disastrous public appearance from Tim Cook, and whether Cook and other CEOs have any other option but to capitulate to the Trump administration. Then it's time for some gadgets: we talk about the super-foldy, super-expensive Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold, the Clawdbot / Moltbot phenomenon, and whether Google can finally put Chrome OS and Android together the right way. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for Brendan Carr is a dummy, Tesla's anti-car pivot, Apple's design hires, and more.

¿Está Apple volviendo a sus raíces? En este video analizamos el terremoto interno que está sacudiendo Cupertino a inicios de 2026. La reciente incorporación de Sebastiaan de With (el genio detrás de la app Halide) al equipo de Human Interface es solo la punta del iceberg de un cambio mucho más profundo. Tras la salida de Alan Dye hacia Meta y el ascenso de Stephen Lemay —un veterano de la era de Steve Jobs conocido internamente como "Margaret"—, Apple parece decidida a abandonar la complejidad visual para recuperar la simplicidad funcional que la hizo legendaria. El Fichaje Estrella: Por qué la llegada de Sebastiaan de With es vital para el futuro de la fotografía y la interfaz pro en el iPhone. La Vieja Guardia al Poder: Quién es Stephen Lemay y por qué su liderazgo emociona a los puristas del diseño de Apple. El Factor John Ternus: Analizamos cómo el jefe de hardware ha tomado el control total del diseño de software y hardware, consolidándose como el heredero indiscutible de Tim Cook para el puesto de CEO.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay interviews David Cahen from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, about the impact surface defects have on bulk properties, specifically in the case of lead halide perovskites. In a perspective he co-authored, Cahen connected numerous experimental data from other researchers that exposed this phenomenon. By understanding how surface defects control the material's electronic behavior, researchers can pursue new materials for the development of long-lasting devices. This work was published in a recent issue of Advanced Materials.

Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, and Web Bixby look at a laughable claim by Google comparing their user privacy focus with Apple's. There seems to be a bit of a backlash against AI, based on Procreate's rejection of AI in favor of traditional art and Halide's new app on raw photography without the benefit of on-iPhone processing. Finally, the panel considers layoffs at GM and Sonos and the implications on their struggles with software development and user experience.

This is The Digital Story Podcast #961, August 20, 2024. Today's theme is "Zero Computational Photography with Process Zero." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue Are you ready to see what kind of pictures your iPhone captures with absolutely no computational photography applied? You might wonder how that could even happen. The latest version of Halide (2.15) includes a feature called Process Zero. And when it's enabled, you record a RAW file with no AI or computational photography adjustments. Basically, it's like shooting slide film with an analog camera. And the results just might surprise you. I explain how it works, plus more, on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
