  • This BlackBerry Passport clone reignites my love of QWERTY keyboard phones - here’s why

    3 days ago | tomsguide.com | John Velasco

    I loved QWERTY keyboard phones. Some of the first smartphones I ever owned featured them, like the HTC Apache and Motorola Q. With the original iPhone’s announcement in 2007, however, Steve Jobs used the opportunity to poke fun at all the keyboard phones out there during that time — and it essentially started their downfall and paved the way for all-touch screens. It’s funny how something old becomes new again.

  • Samsung Galaxy Unpacked announced for July 9 - and it’s when the ‘Ultra Unfolds'

    After several foldable phone teasers in the past few weeks, Samsung has finally confirmed the date for its next Galaxy Unpacked event. The company will hold its next product launch in New York on Wednesday, July 9, starting at 10:00 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT / 3 p.m. BST, which is when we’ll likely get our first official look at two upcoming foldable phones — the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7.

  • I ditched my AirTag for this smarter key tracker - and I love it

    5 days ago | tomsguide.com | John Velasco

    Everyone I know raves about how helpful it is for them to attach an AirTag on their keychain to keep track of their keys, but my issue is that AirTags are quite obvious — which gives potential thieves a quick opportunity of removing them. That’s why I ditched mine in favor of this smart key tracker that doubles as a handy key organizer.

  • I drove the Lucid Air Touring for a week - and it actually relieves EV range anxiety

    5 days ago | tomsguide.com | John Velasco

    Lucid EVs are still a rare sight on the roads, but that’s part of their allure. I know very well what this EV maker is all about after testing out the Lucid Air Pure last year, proving to me that it addresses one of the biggest concerns people have about EVs — their range. It's no surprise that it's one of the best electric cars you can buy. The 2025 Lucid Air Touring is the middle trim in the lineup and offers nearly the same class-leading efficiency as the Air Pure.

  • I’ve been using the new iOS 26 Camera app - and it finally address by biggest annoyance

    6 days ago | tomsguide.com | John Velasco

    Apple’s certainly putting a lot of effort into overhauling the iPhone's look in its upcoming iOS 26 release, which should officially arrive this fall alongside its iPhone 17 announcement. In the interim, though, I’ve been using the iOS 26 developer beta to get a sneak peek into what Apple’s packing into its iPhone software update.
