I saw this TikTok of someone using the iPhone... 16's "Camera Control" button and as he's sliding his finger to zoom in at 5x, I'm just thinking how much easier it is to just tap on 5x zoom toggle within the camera's app. 💀 It's actually more of a hassle to use the camera button lolshow more

I think Apple’s design direction for the iPhone is... moving away from what I would consider as “simplicity” to “playfulness” lately. I personally don’t think most of these are bad in terms of how they look (they are actually beautiful), but I feel like they just look a little off next to other iOS visual elements. For example: • Action button settings • Dynamic Island animations • Much more bouncy Control Centre animations • Redesigned iMessage attachment/“+”menushow more

🇺🇸 TESLA’S NEW APP UPDATE LETS YOUR PHONE POINT... TO YOUR CAR IN REAL TIME Tesla just rolled out a new app update (v4.51.5), and honestly… this is the kind of feature people assumed should exist years ago. Now, when you open the app, you can rotate your phone and see exactly where your car is - live - with an arrow that shifts as you move. It also shows the precise distance to your car in feet, so no more wandering through parking garages like you’re in a low-budget spy movie. It’s basically Find My iPhone, but for your Model Y, and way more satisfying to use. If Tesla keeps adding features like this, the app is going to end up being more fun than the car itself.

SOMEONE BUILT AN IPHONE APP THAT ONLY REVEALS WHATS... UNDER YOUR HAND the whole screen stays hidden you rest the side of your hand on it, the way you shield a keypad at an atm, and only the part your hand covers becomes readable lift your hand and it goes back to hidden > uses a multi touch area to detect your hand, no camera or permissions needed > he tried the proximity sensor first but it just turned the screen off > skipped the camera on purpose since asking for camera access in a privacy app felt wrong > fully native ios, with app clip and imessage support its insane how many simple but useful ideas you can vibe code in a weekendshow more

Apple iPhone 16 vs Pixel 9: Which one should... you buy? The iPhone 16 is more of an iterative upgrade over its predecessor, but the Pixel 9 brings several notable upgrades, especially in the camera, design and chipset. While the Tensor G4 may not be as fast as the iPhone 16’s A18 chipset, it no longer heats up and is pretty fast when it comes to multitasking and completing AI-powered tasks. If you are already a part of the Apple ecosystem and have the iPhone 14 or an older device, the iPhone 16 might make sense. On the other hand, the Pixel 9 with its smart AI features, solid design and capable cameras might appeal to to those who want a phone that will get software updates for years to come and want to enjoy the clean user interface stock Android has to offer.show more

OpenClaw Releases iOS and Android Companion Node Apps That... Connect a Phone to a Self-Hosted AI Agent Gateway Most "AI assistant" apps are a chatbot in a sandbox, calling someone else's API. OpenClaw's iOS and Android apps draw a very clear line away from that model. They're companion nodes, not standalone apps. Each phone pairs to a self-hosted OpenClaw Gateway over a WebSocket (default port 18789) with role: "node". The Gateway — the single control plane for sessions, routing, channels, and events — runs on macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2). The phone gives the agent a body: camera, location, voice, notifications, and a live Canvas. Here's what's actually interesting: → The assistant runs on your machine — chat messages land on the Gateway, never on the phone → Nodes expose a command surface (canvas., camera., device., notifications., system.*) through node.invoke → Privacy-heavy commands like camera.snap and screen.record stay off until you allowlist them via gateway.nodes.allowCommands → Camera and screen capture run foreground-only; pairing needs explicit approval (openclaw devices approve) → Both store listings declare no data collection; ws:// is LAN-only, remote needs a wss:// TLS endpoint via Tailscale Full analysis: Android app: iOS App: OpenClaw🦞show more

THIS is something people should finally understand when they... look at other battery tests that just open an app and wait 3 hours. A touchscreen needs power. Every time you touch your phone, it has to calculate the touch, movement etc. which those other tests COMPLETELY ignore.show more

🌟 "SHOULD I BUY AN IPHONE FOR TRACKING?" 🌟... tl;dr at bottom I've been using a facecam and Nvidia tracking for a long time and upgrading to a used iphone 13 combined with vbridger, the difference is HUGE. Here is my take on it! Why is Facecam > iPhone? ✅️ More affordable, esp for those using android phones ✅️ More convenient. If you launch Vtubestudio, there's a setting where your webcam automatically turns on, which is great. ✅️ Can track pretty well in the dark IF you already have a good webcam for night tracking. ❌️❌️ Stiff tracking at times ❌️ Not good at tracking specific mouth movement Why iPhone > Facecam? ✅️✅️ You can make the most of your model, since movement along the X and Y axes are a lot more accurate and wider. Also tracks eyes and overall face better. ✅️ More EXPRESSIONS. If your rigging allows for it, things like cheek puff, and tongue are able to be tracked. As far as I know, I cannot do this on facecam. ❌️❌️ WAY more expensive or requires that you have an iPhone already. Needs more set-up (need phone stand right in front of you, need to hook your phone up to a charger at all times, phone could possibly overheat as well if it's old, so you might need a cooler). TL;DR For me, if you have an extra 200 to spare for WAY better tracking, I would 1000% recommend buying a used iPhone on Amazon. iPhone X is the BARE minumum, I would recommend 12/13 so that your phone does not overheat. I do not need to use a cooler for my used iPhone 13. Being able to use my rigging to its fullest makes the model feel so so so different (in a good way). Feel free to reply with any questions, I will try to answer them!show more

SOMEONE BUILT A WAY TO SEND FILES BETWEEN TWO... PHONES WITH NO WIFI, NO BLUETOOTH AND NO NETWORK AT ALL it works with just a screen flashing qr codes at a camera one device plays an endless stream of animated qr codes, the other one points its camera at the screen and rebuilds the file out of the light no pairing, no app, no shared network, nothing but the camera > its pulling about 129 kb/s, a full 2mb image transfers in seconds > theres no back channel, the receiver can never ask for a missed frame, so it uses fountain codes, every frame is a scrambled mix of the file rather than one piece of it > that means the receiver just collects any frames it can catch in any order, and once it has enough it can reconstruct the whole file > dropping frames costs you a little time but never breaks the transfer > you can point the camera at a stream thats already running and it just locks on mid flight he was building a cached mp3 player because he was sick of ads and bad streaming quality. he wanted a way to send tracks phone to phone without both phones being on the same network, and realized flashing qr codes could carry the data he built the whole working prototype in one night with claude code its open source and already at 375 starsshow more

Imagine your phone instantly scanning your food for freshness,... checking your skin health, or detecting fake meds, all with just the camera. That future just got way closer. Scientists created a speck-sized structure in ordinary cheap plastic that works like a full spectrometer. No moving parts. No fancy tuning. It splits light across the entire visible + near-infrared range. They baked microscopic stress patterns into the thermoplastic. Light hits it, gets diffracted in wavelength-specific ways, and a normal CMOS sensor reads the unique pattern. Software then rebuilds the exact spectrum. This means spectrometers can now shrink onto phone chips or wearables. Dirt cheap, super tough, mass-producible. Now that sounds like a good deal! Source: @CharlesMullins2show more

Single video → a reframeable 4D Gaussian Splatting scene.... Not a sequence of separately built 3D frames played back like a video. This is one continuous space-time scene, reconstructed from a single clip shot on an iPhone 16. We combine feed-forward Gaussian generation, 3D tracking, and 4D Gaussian Splatting, aiming to deliver it as a compact 4D video file that runs on your phone. Still early R&D. The goal: make 4DGS something anyone can create and experience, not just researchers with a camera rig.show more

Little moment of kindness captured with Seedance 2.0 on... Lart AI Try it yourself: A highly realistic 12-second vertical (16:9) cinematic short film filmed as if on a smartphone with natural handheld movement. A young man is standing on a pedestrian bridge over a calm river, texting on his smartphone. He accidentally fumbles it, and the phone slips from his hand. The camera follows the phone as it tumbles realistically through the air under gravity. At that exact moment, a small fishing boat is passing beneath the bridge. The experienced boat captain notices the falling phone, quickly reacts, and skillfully lifts a fishing net upward. The phone lands safely inside the net with realistic momentum and bounce. The captain smiles, docks beside the bridge, hands the phone back to the surprised owner, who gratefully says, "Thank you so much!" The captain simply nods with a warm smile before leaving. Golden-hour natural lighting, authentic facial expressions, physically accurate falling motion, realistic boat movement and water ripples, no impossible actions, no slow motion, no CGI-style effects, no jump cuts, cinematic depth of field, natural ambient sounds only (river, birds, engine, footsteps, dialogue), emotionally uplifting ending.show more
