Curated from Latest from TechRadar US in News,opinion — Here’s what matters right now:
This week Apple teased the iPhone 17 launch, and Flipepr Devices disputed claims its tech is helping people steal cars. To catch up on all this, and five more of the week's top tech news stories scroll down for the latest iteration of our weekly ICYMI recap. Next week is IFA and we're sure to see some big announcements there (perhaps even from Samsung) so be sure to check back for next recap in seven days. 7. Could Eternals tease doom for Doomsday? (Image credit: Disney/Marvel Studios) Eternals was the 2021 Marvel movie that instantly flopped, with fans and critics alike criticizing its rushed character development over a shorter runtime. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, director Chloe Zhao claimed having unlimited money and resources was “actually quite dangerous,” adding it prepared her for upcoming November release, Hamnet. But what if the same logic could be applied to Avengers: Doomsda y? It’s the movie moment of the decade for the MCU, so of course the studio is throwing caution to the limitless wind, even if it doesn't make sense looking in from the outside. In dangerous entertainment times and seemingly no limits on what happens when making Doomsday , Zhao's comments should perhaps be heeded as a warning.

A new solar powered security cam debuted (Image credit: Swann) If you like the idea of having a smart security camera watching over your home, but you don’t like the thought of taking it down to charge, Swann has the solution. The Swann EVO Wireless Solar can keep running with just 45 minutes of sunlight per day, and is weather-resistant so you can mount it just about anywhere. There’s no need to pay a subscription fee either, because all your videos are stored locally on an SD card. Now that’s smart. It’s not the cheapest home security camera around, but once you factor in the solar panel and absence of monthly membership fees to watch your videos, its price tag of $129.99 / £99.99 / AU$179.95 looks very reasonable.

In 2025, the company has hosted separate launch events for the Samsung Galaxy S25 , Galaxy S25 Edge , and new Galaxy Z foldables, and it looks like we’re getting one more Galaxy showcase before the year is out. Coinciding with IFA 2025 on September 4, Samsung’s next “Galaxy Event” will see “premium AI tablets” and “the newest member of the Galaxy S25 family” enter the fold. That almost certainly means the Galaxy Tab S11 series and the Galaxy S25 FE are just around the corner, and thanks to several leaks and rumors , we think we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from all three new devices.
