Google launched Android 16 back in June, and with it came a ton of features and updates. Usually, that’s all Google does until the next version, which is expected to be released in beta sometime in January or February 2026. That isn’t the case this time, as Google just announced several new features coming to Android 16 as a sort of mid-cycle refresh for the OS. As per the norm these days, a sizable percentage of the new features will be powered by AI and leverage Gemini's ability to categorize and summarize data. The rest are extra features coming to apps like Google’s Phone and additional customizations you can use to personalize your phone even more. Google posted not one, but two blog posts about what’s coming up, so you know it’s going to be good. To save you some clicks, here’s everything coming in the next feature-packed Android 16 update. The December Android 16 update should roll out to Pixel devices starting today (Tuesday, Nov. 2), with other Android devices getting the updates when their OEMs get around to it. Now, Gemini can help make sense of your notifications. Credit: Google AI can manage your notificationsTwo of the big changes are coming to notifications. The first one is pretty simple. Google will allow AI to summarize long notifications (such as multiple messages in a group text) into a short summary to let you know what happened when you were away. These summaries can take several texts and sum them up in a sentence or two, making them easier to scan through while checking them quickly. It seems as though this is specifically targeted at group chats with lots of messages, but it may work with other types of messages as well. Credit: Google The other big notification change is an organizer function. This is vaguely similar to how Gmail filters messages and looks about the same in practice. Your various notifications will be categorized into things like News, Promotions, and others, thus letting you check your notifications as you please based on what kind of stuff you want to see. It’s a small change, but as a writer who gets probably 55 emails a day, this is going to be an awesome feature for me.  Let your loved ones know its urgent. Credit: Google Mark your calls as urgentCell phones make phone calls, and although that isn’t what people use them for most often these days, Google still wants to make the experience as good as possible. One of the new features is the ability to mark a phone call as urgent when you place the call to communicate to the other person that this isn’t an everyday catch-up call and that they need to answer the phone. This feature is rolling out to the Google Phone app. When you place the call, you’ll have an option to mark the call as urgent. The recipient will see that the call is urgent on their end. Even if they miss the call, it’ll be marked as urgent in their call logs, so that they know to call back as soon as they can. Themed icons and better dark modeOne of the long-awaited and consistently asked for features is the ability to theme icons within Android. This was previously doable with icon packs, but you also needed a custom launcher to use them. Google has finally included at least some custom icon functionality in Android itself, giving users the ability to customize their homescreens further without the need for a ton of additional downloads.  Credit: Google The themed icons have three main functions. You can customize the icon shapes, and it’ll theme the icons using the same Material 3 Expressive theming that the rest of your phone uses to theme things. This should create a more consistent and minimal icon design, giving the end user more control over how things look. As an aside, Google also mentioned an expanded dark mode that will work on apps that don’t have a dark mode built into them already. That’s not terribly common these days, as most apps have a dedicated dark mode, but it helps smooth out those rough edges for apps that don’t.Dip out of unwanted group chats quickly (while reporting them)Getting pulled into a group chat can be annoying, especially when the group starts acting a fool (or worse, when it’s spam). Google Messages is getting a new feature to remove yourself from such chats as quickly as possible. This function works pretty simply. When you’re pulled into a group chat under certain conditions, like being added from an unknown number, you’ll get the option to leave the group chat straight from the chat itself, while also giving you the opportunity to block and report the number as spam.  Credit: Google Circle to Search can find spamSpeaking of spam, Google is adding another feature to help you track it down and get rid of it faster. When you receive something that you might suspect to be spam, you can active Google’s Circle to Search function and circle the message. An AI overview will pop up letting you know whether the message is likely legitimate or if it’s definitely spam. If it is spam, you know to delete, block, and report the message so you don’t get it again. Credit: Google See emotions in Live Caption videoLive Caption already does a lot for the hearing impaired by letting you read what’s going on automatically. Google is expanding this functionality with what it calls Expressive Captions. The idea is pretty simple. Not only will Live Caption write what people are saying, but will also listen to their tone of voice and show you the emotion with which people are speaking.  Credit: Google Given that text has no tone intrinsically, it can lead to a variety of communication problems. This solves that problem by making an educated guess based on the context of the video. It likely won’t be 100 percent accurate all the time, as human emotions are complicated, but it’s still a neat idea, especially when video calling with friends.Better parental controlsSafety and security are usually in the spotlight when it comes to Android releases, and this time is no different. Google has added some new parental controls to the Settings menu, giving parents an easier place to access such controls on a child’s device. The setting is protected by a PIN, so kids can’t easily get into it, allowing parents to configure things on the child’s device without worry that the child will get into it. Some of the new features in this parental control settings menu will include setting the amount of screen time, scheduling downtime to lock the device for things like sleep, controlling app usage to limit time spent on apps or to block them entirely, and granting additional time if need be. Parents will also have direct links to Google Family Link, where they can set more things like app purchase approvals, location alerts, and more.Emoji Kitchen and voice dictation in GboardThe Emoji Kitchen is a neat little idea that lets you create custom emojis by combining two existing emotes, much like that silly Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen song from years ago. This one is pretty simple. It still functions as it did in Google’s Gboard app, but now includes new sticker combinations, including some made for the holiday season.  Look, the little monkeys are hugging each other. Credit: Google Gboard is also making it easier to use voice dictation in Gboard. The new gesture is a two-finger double-tap, and once engaged, it will let you use voice dictation without hitting the specific microphone button on the keyboard. It’s a little thing, but the motor skill-impaired may find this useful over having to tap a small button on the keyboard. Gemini’s Smart Dictation feature will also let you type and edit text, and even shorten the text for you with the power of AI.  SEE ALSO: The best emoji of 2025 Pin your tabs in Google Chrome How to pin tabs in Google Chrome Credit: Google This is exactly what you think it is and works exactly how you think it does. Much like the desktop version, the mobile version of Chrome now lets you pin tabs. These tabs remain even if you clear out the rest of them, allowing you to save important webpages for later. Of course, the bookmarks function also lets you do this, but this is still very useful, especially if you don’t like using bookmarks. December Android 16 update: More miscellaneous updatesThere are plenty of other small things that got looped into the update, and they’re not quite enough for their own sections, so here’s a rapid-fire list of additional small changes. A shortcut for Live Caption is now available at the bottom of the volume slider. The “Enhanced HDR brightness” setting now has an intensity slider letting you set it either dimmer or brighter. Google’s Health Connect now automatically adds steps tracked by your device. A Pixel Launcher design tweak has increased the size of the microphone, Google Lens, and AI mode icons while adding an extra dash of color. Widgets make a return to the lock screen. Head to Settings > Display & touch > Lock screen > Widgets on lock screen to use them. Google has updated its Guided Frames feature in the Pixel camera app to give longer, more detailed explanations when describing what’s in the frame. Users can also now activate Voice Access by simply asking for it. Say “Hey Google” and then “start Voice Access” instead of hunting it down in the settings. Fast Pair is extending to hearing aids made by Demant, a conglomerate that includes the brands Oticon, Sonic, and Bernafon.There are also a host of under-the-hood changes that are aimed primarily at developers. These are too numerous to list, but you can see them yourself (along with any features we missed) on the Android Developers website. Some of them include boilerplate things like improved app performance and better battery life as well. Android 16 is an update worth havingDespite the fact that this is still the same Android 16 that launched just a few months ago, it feels as much like a new Android update as anything I’ve seen in the last few years. There’s plenty to like here, especially the extra refinements to the design. Notification categories and themed icons win the day in terms of making OS customization and productivity feel more complete, and everything else is just icing on the cake. 

The White House X account on Monday posted a video showing migrants being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, set to a soundtrack of Sabrina Carpenter's hit song "Juno."Carpenter responded to the ICE video on Tuesday with an X post of her own, calling the White House's video "evil" and "inhumane." The singer replied to the video with the comment, "this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Politicians, and in particular President Donald Trump, have a long history of using musicians' work without their permission. In fact, there's an entire Wikipedia entry for the phenomenon: Musicians who oppose Donald Trump's use of their music.In addition, the White House has a history of posting memes, AI slop, and viral social videos that dehumanize undocumented immigrants, a strategy that's proven popular with Trump's base. The fact that the White House posted an ICE video that angered a popular celebrity is a feature, not a bug, of this social media strategy.The song "Juno" also has a history of going viral. It played a central role in Carpenter's "Short n'Sweet" tour, with Carpenter incorporating a new simulated sex position into the song's choreography during each of her performances. The lyrics, "Have you ever tried this one?" are now being appropriated by the White House for a new kind of viral moment.The White House didn't waste time in responding to Carpenter's X post.A White House spokesperson provided this comment to Fox News Digital: "Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"

Like always, there were way better Black Friday deals on Dyson vacuums in 2025, as well as a handful of worthwhile Dyson hair tool discounts (like a rare $150 off the Airwrap i.d.).Almost every single one of those impressive Dyson deals is still around the day after Cyber Monday — if you didn't make your move over the weekend, you've been given another chance to shave a few hundred dollars off of the brand known for being expensive. SEE ALSO: 40+ Cyber Monday TV deals still live: Hisense Canvas, Samsung OLEDs still at Black Friday pricing on Dec. 2 Dyson's own Cyber Week sale easily has the best variety of hair tool deals and cordless stick vacuum deals, including a few exclusive deals that other retailers don't have. But Walmart's extended Cyber Monday sale does still include the same stellar deal on Mashable's favorite stick vacuum, and Amazon is in the mix, too. A few vacuums and hair tools have even gotten cheaper by $10 to $50 since we first saw them on sale on Thanksgiving.We've rounded up all of the best Dyson Cyber Monday deals still live as of Dec. 2 and will update this guide as they taper off or sell out.Best Dyson vacuum deal Dyson V12 Detect Slim $399.99 at Walmart $549 Save $149.01   Get Deal at Walmart Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Best Buy Why we like itAny time my favorite vacuum ever gets several hundred dollars cheaper, it's going to be the first deal I recommend. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is currently the most affordable Dyson vacuum with the green laser, now less than $400 compared to its usual $729.99. The laser, which illuminates tiny specks and hair that aren't super visible to the naked eye, should be an immediate selling point for any household with pets and a lot of hard floors. You have no idea how dusty your floors get within even 24 hours.I've used the V12 Detect Slim almost daily for well over three years now, and it's still kicking — as long as you clean it properly, this purchase should last you quite a while. When I'm not using it on the floor in those daily sessions, I'm switching it to handheld mode to clean fur off the couch with the mini motorized attachment or clean out my car with the crevice attachment. It's compact and lightweight enough to comfortably hold with one hand (I can't say the same about the massive Gen5 series Dysons). Though I've tested countless cordless vacuums, the V12 Detect Slim's user-friendliness just can't be beat.More Dyson vacuum dealsDyson V9 Motorbar — $269.99 $599.99 (save $330)Dyson V8 Absolute — $279.99 $589.99 (save $310)Dyson V11 Extra — $349.99 $659.99 (save $310)Dyson Gen5detect Absolute — $749.99 $1,049.99 (save $300)Dyson Gen5outsize Absolute — $849.99 $1,049.99 (save $300)Best Dyson hair tool deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson Supersonic Nural $399.99 at Dyson $549.99 Save $150 In strawberry bronze/blush pink or jasper plum only Get Deal Why we like itThe newest and improved version of Dyson's classic hair dryer, the Supersonic Nural, is still at its Black Friday price of $399.99. That's still pretty steep for a hair dryer even if it's the best of the best, but hear us out. Up until the aftermath of Cyber Monday, our favorite Dyson hair tool deal was actually on that classic Supersonic — it was just $299.99 for the version with three attachments. But that's gone as of Dec. 2, and we're now looking at a $379.99 sale price on the classic Supersonic with five attachments. And at that point, why not just spend $20 more to get the Supersonic Nural that also comes with five attachments? The extra $20 would save your scalp from being fried with hot air (the Nural automatically turns down the temperature when it's near your scalp). The Nural also automatically pauses airflow when set down for a second.More Dyson hair tool dealsRefurbished Dyson Supersonic Nural — $199.99 $419.99 (save $220)Refurbished Dyson Airwrap Straight+Wavy — $289.99 $449.99 (save $160)Refurbished Dyson Airwrap Complete Long + Diffuser — $299.99 $499.99 (save $200)Dyson Supersonic with five attachments — $379.99 $519.99 (save $140)Dyson Airwrap Origin — $399.99 $549.99 (save $150)Dyson Airstrait (amber silk only) — $399 $549.99 (save $150.99)Dyson Corrale — $439.99 $539.99 (save $100)Dyson Supersonic r (vinca blue/topaz only) — $449.99 $649.99 (save $200)Dyson Airwrap i.d.

I can confirm that the Dyson HushJet is as "hushed" as the title implies, making it the rare actually-quiet air purifier that you won't mind running 24/7. Within a day of bringing the HushJet home, it took the air quality in my living room from "very poor" to "good," as shown through a particle sensor breakdown in the app. The coolest part? After your initial purchase, you won't have to spend money on new filters every six months. The HushJet's high-tech filter should last for five years.More air purifier dealsDyson Hot+Cool Jet Focus fan heater AM09 — $299.99 $499.99 (save $200)Dyson Air Purifier Hot+Cool HP1 — $499.99 $699.99 (save $150)Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP2 De-NOx — $649.95 $999.95 (save $350)Don't fall for this one Dyson dealFor all of the Dyson deals I recommend, there's one Dyson deal you should avoid: The 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum on sale for $349.99. Though the drop from its MSRP of $999.99 seems killer on its face, the vacuum itself is going to kill your faith in robot vacuums (it would have for me if I didn't test a million others for a living). The 360 Vis Nav's strong suction power can't make up for the fact that it doesn't self-empty, doesn't mop, and doesn't have small obstacle avoidance technology. There are much better robot vacuums still on sale for under $500 after Cyber Monday, and Dyson is releasing a new robot vacuum in 2026, anyway.

Shoppers dropped a lot of cash during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Despite substantial economic concerns for U.S. consumers, shoppers in the country spent record amounts. Online spending hit a record-high $11.8 billion on Black Friday itself, NBC News reported, citing figures from Adobe Analytics. The same firm estimated shoppers spent $6.4 billion online on Thanksgiving Day, plus another $11.8 billion online over the weekend. U.S. shoppers spent some $14.25 billion online on Cyber Monday, according to Adobe, via Reuters. For those keeping score at home, that brings the whopping grand total to about $44.2 billion in online shopping from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. SEE ALSO: Cyber Monday Apple deals that are still live: There's still time to shop the $99 AirPods 4 with ANC We don't have as compelling data about in-person shopping, but the National Retail Federation (NRF) told Reuters that 129.5 million consumers showed up to shop in person, which represents a 3 percent uptick from last year. The NRF found that shoppers dropped an average of $337.86 this year, up from $315.56 in 2024. So it seems folks were ready to shop this year. Perhaps now, more than ever, they were looking for a good deal.

AI developer Anthropic is honoring this Giving Tuesday with new trainings and features for its popular chatbot, Claude, that are specifically designed for the needs of nonprofits. The Claude for Nonprofits package provides nonprofit organizations with discounted Claude access (up to 75 percent off); integrations with nonprofit tools like Blackbaud, Candid, and Benevity; as well as free use case guides and an AI Fluency for Nonprofits training course for AI beginners. The company explains that its upgraded Claude Sonnet 4.5, and advanced coding model, is also trained for grant writing and program analysis. It's safety-forward Haiku 4.5, meanwhile, speeds up processing at reduced costs. Both are available to Claude for Nonprofits users. Claude can also connect to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Asana, Slack, and Box. SEE ALSO: OpenAI denies allegations in teen death lawsuit AI adoption across the nonprofit sector has been scattered, due in part to continued skepticism about the safety, privacy, and reliability of generative AI —and of the very nature of the sector's work. Many organizations are hard pressed to devote resources and time to the kind of training and infrastructure needed to ethically integrate the technology amid threatened funding streams, while others see its use as antithetical to their mission. Still, recent data shows widespread interest, but preparedness is low and adoption is slow. Of the AI developers and tech funders that have tried, few have been able to fully fill those gaps. Claude for Nonprofits is thus built to support a nonprofit's tech infrastructure needs. "Nonprofits tackle some of society’s most difficult problems, often with limited resources," wrote Anthropic. "From our partners, we know AI helps most when it fits into existing workflows, upholds the privacy their communities expect, and is affordable." The developer has also partnered with nonprofit consulting organizations to provide tailored support to organizations. According to Anthropic, Claude is already used by organizations like the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the YMCA, and the Epilepsy Foundation — the IRC also recently announced its own, in-house chatbot designed specifically to provide emergency assistance and support to refugee populations in the U.S. Claude for Nonprofits will be piloted among a cohort of 60 organizations who receive grants from funders like the Constellation Fund, Robin Hood, and Tipping Point Community.

SEE ALSO: Streaming just got cheaper: Cyber Monday deals still live on Paramount+, Mubi, Fox One, Peacock These are the upgraded version of the previous Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, with a few significant changes: better battery life, new immersive audio Cinema Mode, adjustable ANC, wired lossless playback, and more. They're more expensive as well, of course, but this discount makes them much more palatable. Mashable's Bethany Allard took these headphones for a spin and praised them for their comfort, calling them "the most comfortable headphones on the market". She also appreciated their adjustable active noise cancellation, shiny metal accent, and passive playback and USB-C playback options. "If you're buying into the line for the first time, the blend of comfort, noise cancellation, and sound is hard to beat, especially if you're keen on all-day wear," Allard wrote. If you're ready to go ahead and lock in a pair for yourself, now's a good time to do so while the Cyber Monday sale is still live.

Can't choose between a new smartphone or a new tablet? Well, Samsung has made your decision pretty easy then by saying: Why not both with the new Galaxy Z TriFold?Samsung finally made its trifold phone official. That's right, a trifold phone that's called the TriFold because it has three display panels with two hinges that fold out into a 10-inch display. That's a tablet-sized screen, the largest ever on a Galaxy phone, wrapped into a foldable smartphone. SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold vs Apple foldable iPhone: Specs and rumors While the big Dynamic 2X AMOLED display, with its 2160 x 1584 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, works as one large singular screen, the device can also be configured to work as if it's three 6.5-inch smartphones. Users can simultaneously run three different portrait-sized apps on each panel side-by-side. With that said, users can drag and drop files across all three screens as the TriFold still performs as a single device.When folded, Samsung fans will be able to use the TriFold’s outer screen, with its 6.5-inch 2520 x 1080 resolution display just like a non-foldable smartphone.With a 200 MP camera and powered by the customized Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the Galaxy Z TriFold still manages to be fairly thin when folded out, ranging from 4.2mm to 3.9mm in thickness at its thinnest point. When folded, the TriFold does balloon in size, measuring in at 12.9mm thick.The Galaxy Z TriFold is also the first smartphone that can run Samsung DeX, which basically enables users to turn their mobile device into a desktop PC-like experience.Unlike many other unique smartphones that never get released in the United States, Samsung is bringing the Galaxy Z TriFold to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026.The only real question left about the Galaxy Z TriFold is how much it'll cost for Americans. Samsung has not yet shared a price for the TriFold when it launches in the U.S. next year. However, the TriFold will be in stores much sooner in South Korea. When it goes on sale there on December 12, 2025, consumers will be paying roughly $2,500 for the foldable device.It's unclear if Samsung will keep that same pricing structure for the U.S. market, but with the TriFold hitting U.S. shelves sometime over the next few months, we'll soon find out.

But if you're still looking for great deals, The Home Depot set their own calendar this year and the retailer's sale is still live today. Aside from that, there are a few great deals lingering about and one of the highlights is this epic deal on Sony headphones.As of Dec. 2, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are still on sale at Amazon for $248, marked down from the list price of $399.99. That's a massive 38% discount that takes $151.99 off the price. It also matches the lowest we've ever seen and the Cyber Monday sale price.Not long ago, Sony dropped the new XM6 headphones and yes, they're amazing. The only hitch is the price tag of the XM6 which currently sits at $398 thanks to the Amazon sale. Instead, you might consider the slightly older but definitely still awesome Sony XM5 headphones, and those are on sale for $248. That means you're savings about $150 by going with the older model. SEE ALSO: Last chance to score Apple AirPods for under $100 — save $80 after Cyber Monday Mashable lead shopping reporter Bethany Allard compared the new XM6 to the XM5 and wrote, "The XM6 headphones bring some updates in the form over improved sound and folding ear cups, but nothing too major over the past generation."One of the only things you're missing out on with opting for the XM5 headphones is earcups that don't fold up. They also have a slightly less warmer sound compared to the XM6 headphones, according to Allard's experience.The battery life on the XM5 is identical to that of the XM6, as is the charging time. They also weigh a bit less. Allard mentioned she didn't notice a major difference in noise-cancellation ability with the older mode, so you should be set in that respect.Overall, this still-live Cyber Monday price on the Sony XM5 headphones is a great opportunity to snag excellent headphones at the lowest price we've ever seen. Since Cyber Monday is technically over, we recommend jumping on this deal soon since it might disappear in a hurry.

Age-verification laws have swept the world in recent years. These rules, also known as age assurance or age checks, often require websites that contain a certain (or any) amount of explicit content to confirm that users are over 18. But it's not just checking a "yes or no" box anymore. Many of these laws require personal data, such as a photo of a government ID or a facial recognition scan, to access parts of the internet. SEE ALSO: Porn censorship is going to destroy the entire internet While the purported aim of these laws is to keep minors from seeing porn, experts have told Mashable for years that age verification doesn't work for that intended purpose. This is because website companies based in other countries may not comply, or citizens may attempt to circumvent these laws using VPNs (or, in the case of the UK's Online Safety Act, by using images of video game characters). Early research out of NYU has suggested that age verification doesn't work, as well.Experts also state the digital privacy and security issues that could arise from submitting so much personal information to various websites. One is identity theft, should bad actors obtain access to this data, such as through a phishing scam pretending to be a verification system for a porn site. Another is a lack of access to parts of the internet entirely if someone doesn't have an ID, which could widen the digital divide. SEE ALSO: The best hookup apps, reviewed: I swiped until my thumb hurt Yet, these laws are spreading throughout the world. Here's a breakdown of the states and countries with age verification laws (so far). United StatesThe United States is distinct in that age-verification laws have been implemented on a state-by-state basis, as opposed to a federal one. While you're not able to access Pornhub in Virginia, for instance, you can drive up to Maryland and browse all you'd like. Since Louisiana enacted its age verification law in 2023, similar bills have popped up across the country. Then, in 2025, the Supreme Court ruled that these laws are constitutional, essentially ensuring that more states will implement them as well, experts told Mashable at the time.States with enacted age verification laws as of this publication, according to the adult industry trade organization the Free Speech Coalition, are:AlabamaArizonaArkansasFloridaGeorgiaIdahoIndianaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVirginiaWyomingUnited KingdomThe Online Safety Act, which contains the UK's age-verification clause, went into effect in July 2025. Sites and apps must use one of several methods to assure someone's age, such as taking their banking information, matching a photo with an ID, or scanning their face. The UK's communication regulatory agency, Ofcom, stated that it will fine up to  £18 million or 10 percent of qualifying worldwide revenue (whichever is greater) for sites that don't comply. Since then, "SFW" sites, from dating apps to Spotify and YouTube, have or will implement age checks in the region (and others). Controversial sites 4chan and Kiwi Farms have sued Ofcom, stating they shouldn't need to comply as they operate outside the UK.FranceFrance's age verification law, which requires explicit sites to have a third-party system to confirm users' ages, went into effect in June 2025. It also must be "double-blind," meaning the porn site can't know the visitors' age, while the verification system can't know the site the visitor is looking at.Soon after it was enacted, though, the law was briefly suspended until it was deemed legal by EU law. But in July, France's highest court — the Council of State — annulled the suspension. This caused back and forth with Pornhub, which initially blocked itself in the country, then reinstated itself during that period, only to block itself again after the law's suspension was revoked. ItalyStarting November 12, Italy will enact age verification for pornographic sites. Last Friday, Italy's communications agency, AGCOM, released a list of 45 websites that must implement age verification systems to continue functioning in the country, or receive a warning and fines up to 250,000 Euros. The list includes Pornhub and OnlyFans. AGCOM stated on its website that a certified independent third party must verify users' ages, doing so in two steps (identification and authentication of the identified person) — and it has to happen every session. When dealing with an app, a separate app must age-verify like a digital ID wallet app.AustraliaThis law looks a little different than that of other countries, but its purpose is the same. Australia's age-verification law states that at the end of this year, people will have to verify their ages when logged into their Google or Microsoft accounts and using those search engines. These engines must have tools or settings like "safe search," where explicit content must be filtered out entirely. The highest safety setting must be the default for account holders for whom the age assurance system indicates are likely children. If age assurance can't be done, explicit material must be blurred. ChinaPornography is currently illegal in China, so its age-verification systems also look different. The country has strict age restrictions for video games, livestreaming and video-sharing platforms, payment processors, and social media. Users must undergo Real Name Verification, which requires providing their name and ID number to access these services. Depending on the app, users may have to give more information too, such as their phone number, bank account, and a facial recognition scan.This list will likely grow longer, and Mashable will update it when it does. Ofcom's group director for online safety, Oliver Griffiths, told Mashable back in June that age verification for porn sites was a "global issue" and sought to instill global norms. It seems that's well on the way. UPDATE: Dec. 2, 2025, 11:49 a.m. EST The U.S. list has been updated to add Missouri.

Samsung has a new recruit in the foldable trenches, while Apple is set to join them soon. On Monday, Samsung announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, an oft-rumored foldable phone with two hinges and a gigantic inner display. It's coming to the U.S. in early 2026, and people are excited. However, Apple is also said to be working on a foldable iPhone, potentially set for launch in 2026, as well. With that in mind, let's take what we know about both devices and compare them. SEE ALSO: Samsung finally makes the Galaxy Z TriFold official, announces U.S. release window Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold vs. Apple iPhone Fold: Specs It's like a regular phone! Credit: Samsung It's worth mentioning that only one of these devices has been officially announced. Therefore, we only have real specs for Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold right now. Here's how they shake out: 10-inch main display with 2160x1584 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate6.5-inch cover display with 2520x1080 resolution and 120Z adaptive refresh rateSnapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset16GB RAM512GB/1TB storage5,600mAh batteryThree rear cameras: 200MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoomIn case you haven't been following the news, the main selling point of Samsung's new device is that it folds twice. It has two hinges that, when unfolded, open up a gargantuan 10-inch display with a 4K-ish resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It's also got a 6.5-inch outer display so you can use it like a regular phone and put it in your pockets, similar to how the single-hinged Galaxy Z Fold 7 works.Like I said, we unfortunately don't have nearly as much firm information about the rumored iPhone Fold right now. The latest reports suggest that Apple has mastered some kind of "creaseless" design, which would be huge. Recent foldables, such as the ones from Samsung, have made great strides in reducing the visibility of the crease in the unfolded display, but if Apple could truly eliminate that, it would really be onto something. To be clear, this is expected to be a single-hinged device, like most foldables. Some reports have suggested that it will have a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display, making it significantly smaller than the Galaxy Z TriFold.As for cameras, the Galaxy Z TriFold has a fairly standard set of lenses, relative to other Samsung flagships. You get three on the back and one on the front, with highlights including a 200MP main shooter and a telephoto lens on the back. We don't know the exact specs for the iPhone Fold's cameras yet, but it's thought to have four lenses just like the Samsung phone. However, they'll be arranged differently; there will be two on the back and, for reasons that will surely become clear when the device is actually shown, two on the front. Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold vs. Apple iPhone Fold: Everything else we know, or don't knowSadly, that's about all we have on both phones in terms of hard information. Samsung's device doesn't have a firm U.S. release date or price yet. One recent report suggested the iPhone Fold could cost as much as $2,399, which would be a lot, even for a foldable. One thing we do know about Samsung's foldable is that it's thin, like the other phones Samsung launched in 2025. Samsung says it measures in at just 4.2mm of thickness when unfolded. One recent report said the iPhone Fold will resemble two iPhone Airs strapped together, so expect that device to be thin, as well.If you're excited about the Galaxy Z TriFold, you have only a few months of waiting left. If you're excited about the iPhone Fold, well...patience is a virtue.
