The best iPhones for 2025: Which model should you buy?
"Which iPhone should I buy?" It's a question you might have heard many times over the years. Much of the time, the answer is simple: Get the best iPhone you can afford. If you're happy with your current iPhone, meanwhile, don't feel like you have to make a change at all. But if you're ready to upgrade, allow us to help. We've reviewed just about every iPhone ever released, so we've picked through all nine models in Apple's current smartphone lineup and highlighted the ones that should satisfy most people below.

Before we dive in, note that we've based our guide on the MSRPs of new, unlocked iPhones on Apple.com. If you can find a heavy discount from another trusted retailer or a good deal on a refurbished model, that could always change the value equation. With that disclaimer out of the way, here are the best iPhones you can buy as of early 2025.

Amazon to close Quebec facilities, but says it's not because of that new union
Amazon just announced it will be closing its Quebec facilities in the coming weeks, according to reporting by CBC. This move will cut more than 1,700 jobs. The company said it will begin outsourcing deliveries to smaller contractors, instead of relying on its in-house team.

"Following a recent review of our Quebec operations," the company said in a statement, "we found that returning to a third-party delivery model supported by local small businesses, similar to the one we had until 2020, will enable us to offer the same excellent service and deliver even greater savings to our customers in the long term."

OpenAI and Softbank team up for a $500 billion AI data center venture
OpenAI will build and open AI infrastructure worth $500 billion in the United States over the next four years in partnership with SoftBank. The two entities have teamed up to establish a new company called the Stargate Project to build AI data centers for the ChatGPT maker, and according to their announcement, it will "secure American leadership in AI" as well as "create hundreds of thousands of American jobs." SoftBank will finance the project, while OpenAI will be in charge of its operations. Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank, will serve as its chairman. 

While OpenAI and SoftBank will serve as the Stargate Project's lead partners, there are several other companies involved in the initiative. In addition to OpenAI, Arm, NVIDIA, Oracle and, of course, Microsoft will be its key initial technology partners. The company's official announcement says OpenAI, NVIDIA and Oracle will work together to "build and operate this computing system," though it didn't expound on what that means.

Dozens of subreddits are banning X links from their communities
Dozens of subreddits have opted to block links to X in their communities over the last 24 hours in a movement that appears to be gaining momentum across Reddit. Hundreds more appear to be actively discussing or considering a similar move with their members.

Engadget counted more than two dozen subreddits, which collectively have millions of members, that have already restricted their communities' ability to post content from X in some way in recent days. These include large subreddits, like r/formula1, which has nearly 5 million members, and smaller communities like r/ultraman, which has 30,000.

The movement seems to have been popularized, at least in part, by r/newjersey, whose mods announced a ban on X links Tuesday. "Fuck this guy. X links are now banned from r/newjersey," they shared in a post that now has more than 65,000 upvotes. Accompanying the post was

That's right. If you pre-order a Galaxy S25 Ultra handset, you get a $200 Amazon gift card that can be used on just about anything. This can help shave off some of the sticker shock of that $1,300 price tag.

Heads up! Fake VPN apps are infecting devices with dangerous malware

Unfortunately, scammers and hackers know that people are flocking to VPNs, and they want to exploit that trend as much as possible. For example, it was recently discovered that some VPNs aren't as secure as expected due to certain security vulnerabilities.

And not long ago, Google itself warned in a blog post that fake VPNs are being used to spread a malware called "PLAYFULGHOST." Once this malware lands on your device, it can take control of the system, steal personal data, and cause major damage.

How does PLAYFULGHOST spread? According to Google's Managed Defense team, attackers have been distributing fake VPN apps infected with malware, hoping to be downloaded by unsuspecting users. Distribution of these fake VPN apps occurs through two ma

Google reportedly made sure Israel's military had access to its AI tools
Google has been a much larger facilitator of tools to Israel during its war with Hamas than previously disclosed. A new report from The Washington Post found that Google employees have repeatedly worked with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel's Defense Ministry (IDM) to expand the government's access to AI tools. In 2021, Google entered into a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government, titled Nimbus, alongside Amazon.

Internal documents show that Google employees repeatedly requested greater access to the company's AI technology on behalf of Israel — starting shortly after the October 7 attacks. An employee in Google's cloud division reportedly escalated appeals from the IDM for greater access to Vertex. In one document, an employee allegedly warned the IDM could turn to Amazon instead, losing Google business. A November document then allegedly shows the employee thanking their co-worker for assisting with the request. 

Additional documents from 2024 reportedly show further requests which  continued to as recently as November 2024, with an employee requesting the IDF receive access to Gemini AI technology in order to develop its own AI assistant. The request was for improved processing of audio and documents, but its unclear what earlier access pushes were used for in regards to military operations.

26 note-perfecting tips for Google Keep on Android
I really need to upgrade my brain's internal storage.

I'm only partially kidding: Just like a hard drive, I'm pretty sure my mind reached maximum capacity at some point in the past decade. The only way I can remember anything these days is by making and maintaining a million notes, both physical and digital. (My wife can confirm this: "I told you that a week ago" is an all-too-common phrase 'round these parts.)

I'm still waiting for Western Digital to start selling SSD implants for the noggin, but in the meantime, Google Keep has become my repository for notes of the non-sticky variety. I like it because it's simple to use and yet packed with features that make my life easier on both a professional and a personal level.
