CNET· 2025-12-23 18:19
After hundreds of flights, I learned there's one travel upgrade that makes every international trip easier, and I do it before I even leave my house. I set up a Nomad ESIM. If you have never used an EIM before, it's basically a digital SIM card you can download and activate from your phone.No airport kiosks, no swapping SIM trays, and most importantly, no surprise roaming charges when you get home. Here's what I do. I open the Nomad app, choose the country or region I'm traveling to, pick a data plan, and t ...

CNET· 2025-12-23 04:50
Apple's new flagship earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3, which lists for $250 but cost a little less on Amazon and received a CNET editor's choice award. Alas, they didn't get a new, more powerful H3 chip, sticking with the AirPods Pro 2's H2 chip instead. However, all the key elements such as fit, sound quality, and noise cancellation have been leveled up along with single charge battery life.Not everybody likes the AirPods Pro 3's sound better than the AirPods Pro 2 sound, but I think they offer more powerful bas ...

Where You Can Donate Your Old Phone 📲♻️
CNET· 2025-12-22 17:07
If you've got a cell phone that you don't use, it can have a second life and you can help out a good cause. Once you factory reset your phone, your data and accounts should no longer be linked to that device. So now you can throw it out in the regular trash, right.Absolutely not. Phones contain lots of dangerous chemicals like arsenic, lead, and mercury. If thrown into a landfill, those chemicals could get into the groundwater, which would be a bad thing.A number of charities also accept phones. I'll highli ...

Dear, Apple: Please Make These Products!
CNET· 2025-12-19 13:01
The tech industry has lost focus on what we actually need right now. And that means you and I need to be very clear with these tech leaders on what we want them to fix and what products we want to buy.
