New Version of Google Voice Appears for Apple’s iPhone

Apple and Google must have “hugged it out” when we weren’t looking because Google Voice has slipped onto the iPhone. Apparently, Google has remedied the situation by adding a dash of HTML5 into Voice’s Web interface. It looks like Google and Apple got over their spat [not really] with or without the FCC.  The new Google Voice mobile Web app is for iPhone OS 3.0 and higher and Palm Web OS devices.

Google says this new web technology that makes it possible to run faster, richer web-based applications right in the browser—although you still need a Google Voice account. Google posted a lovely and educational tutorial video that helps you add the app to your iPhone’s Home screen.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Google Pixel Fold renders next to each other.

In the foldable smartphone arena, there’s little doubt that Samsung has become the heavyweight champion. After all, it’s had nearly four years to refine the experience, and it hasn’t been shy about doing so in public. Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 proved that Samsung’s design was ready for prime time. Now, it’s refining that with the new Galaxy Z Fold 5, a worthy successor that delivers some nice quality-of-life improvements and even more power under the hood.
