At Adobe Max London 2025, the company unveiled exciting new AI-powered features for its content-creation app, Adobe Express. These latest tools are designed to make crafting fresh content on the fly not only easier but also more enjoyable.
First introduced in 2021, Adobe Express caters to those who lack the time (or budget) for full-featured Adobe products like Adobe Photoshop. Instead, it offers an all-in-one, cloud-based content creation solution built on the principles of simplicity and efficiency. It empowers users to swiftly create engaging content for popular social media platforms like TikTok and Reels.
Adobe Express will introduce four innovative AI-powered tools: Generate Video, Clip Maker, Dynamic Animation, and Generate Similar. The standout among them is undoubtedly Generate Video.
With Generate Video, you can leverage the Firefly Video technology to produce unique and commercially safe video content using just descriptive text prompts. While Generate Video has previously been available through Adobe’s Firefly app and Adobe Premiere Pro, this marks its debut in Adobe Express, making it accessible without requiring an Adobe Creative Suite subscription.
Meanwhile, Adobe Express’s new Clip Maker utilizes AI to help you transform lengthy video footage into engaging snippets for podcasts, interviews, and more. The Dynamic Animation feature allows you to effortlessly add “playful, natural motion” with just a single click.
There’s also Adobe’s new Generate Similar tool is designed to help you quickly create content that maintains a consistent aesthetic. This feature is perfect for enhancing your Instagram or Facebook feed to keep a cohesive look for your posts. To get started, simply select an image, and the AI will generate or find similar content to match.
Adobe has unveiled several other enhancements designed to streamline content creation with Express. With a single tap, the new Enhance Speech feature intelligently eliminates distracting background noise, producing clear, professional-quality audio. For those looking to add a personal touch, the Video Self-Record capability allows direct recording within Adobe Express, perfect for tutorials, video podcasts, and engaging reels. Video editing workflows are also improved with Drop Zone, which seamlessly compiles clips into sequences, and Scene View, offering an intuitive way to rearrange and batch-edit video clips for faster turnaround.
Finally, a new Vimeo add-on simplifies sharing by enabling direct exporting and publishing to the popular video platform.
It’s important to note that Adobe Express is a companion app to Adobe Creative Suite. This means you can create stunning pieces in Adobe Express and then refine and polish them in programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
Apple's first foldable phone is now on shelves, in short supply, but with an unreal amount of buzz around it. After all, it's the first foldable iPhone, and there's plenty that this phone gets right. But there's also a lot that is either broken or underwhelming. What's peculiar is the dialogue around this phone, and how it has completely overshadowed every other attempt at making a phone with a similar form factor.
I've spent some time with the iPhone Duo, and I've used the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for almost three months now. In my opinion, Samsung deserves more credit. When the Galaxy Z Fold 8 arrived earlier this year, it was celebrated in some circles and ridiculed in others for supposedly copying what Apple would eventually deliver with the iPhone Duo. The dialogue was pretty odd, for multiple reasons. Samsung has been making foldable phones for years, so claiming that it copied a product Apple hadn't even launched was simply absurd.
