Strava says this will bring “each activity to life with rich overlays that turn captured footage into dynamic stories and share them with their community on Strava.”

After the iPhone 17 launch, it almost feels as though Apple has forgotten about AI. The conference was missing any serious mention of AI. While iOS 26 is set to add some upgraded AI features to all phones running Apple Intelligence, there's nothing unique or special coming to iPhone 17.

For years, I’ve been trying to get my gaming-agnostic partner engaged in one of my favorite pastimes. Aside from dabbling in Overcooked and a playthrough of Until Dawn (me holding the controller, her making the decisions), I’ve never found a game that stuck. That was until we tried Lego Voyagers.

After 15 years on iPhones I finally went back to Android this year, and boy has it been surprising.
