  • Alleged iOS 19 leak reveals completely redesigned Camera app
    9to5mac.com
    ScreenshotA new rumor today suggests that the Camera app will get a dramatic overhaul as part of iOS 19 this year. In a video on YouTube, Jon Prosser reveals that the new Camera app in iOS 19 will feature a design that mirrors the design ethos from visionOS.iOS 19 Camera appProsser says he saw the redesigned Camera app from iOS 19 in action. To protect his source, however, he cant share that video. Instead, he recreated it from scratch to give us an idea of what to expect from the redesign.You can check out Prossers full video below for a closer look at the alleged new iOS 19 design for the Camera app. The video shows how Apple has consolidated controls at the bottom of the interface into two toggles for Photo and Video. Within each menu, you can switch between different modes, adjust settings like exposure, and more.At the top of the interface, you have quick access to controls for things like Live Photos and flash, as well as settings for resolution and frame rate. Theres also still a dedicated button for jumping into your photos library.9to5Macs TakeOne thing I really like about this redesign is that the camera viewfinder takes up much more of the visual interface. Currently, the Camera app is cluttered with controls and settings that can intrude on the actual process of taking a picture or video. You obviously need quick access to those controls, but this new iOS 19 design would suggest that Apple has crafted a design that keeps the most-used settings easily accessible while simultaneously removing some of the clutter.The design of this alleged iOS 19 leak is clearly inspired by visionOS and some of the translucent design paradigms that Apple introduced with Apple Vision Pro. Whether or not this design language spills out into other parts of iOS 19 remains to be seen.Last year, a sketchy rumor suggested iOS 18 would feature a new design inspired by visionOS. That ultimately didnt come to fruition. Id treat this rumor with caution for the time being. We are still five months away from Apple announcing iOS 19, so there is plenty of time for Apples plans to change. Its also possible that this is a design Apple is testing internally but wont actually see the light of day.What do you think of this proposed redesign to the Camera app in iOS 19? Let us know down in the comments. For more details on what to expect from iOS 19, check out our full guide.My favorite iPhone accessories: Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

Table of Contents Hitting the track or taking a run on the trails can make you feel like a million bucks. Running has plenty of benefits for your physical and mental health, and it's a great way to get outdoors. If you plan to run, or even just walk, preparation for it is essential; you need great running gear, particularly running shoes. The best running shoes provide comfort with soft cushioning so your body and feet don't feel like they've been battered afterward.When I ran to the store for the first time, I learned a lot about my running stride. For one thing, I discovered I was an overpronator and needed stable shoes that would keep my feet in place so they didn't cave inwards while I was running. Thankfully, I learned about the different shoe brands that make styles compatible with my feet, and when I got my new pair, it felt like a new world had opened. This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas. No matter what you like to do, it's important to get the right shoes for your needs. Getting properly fitted for running shoes isnt just for marathon runners. Whether youre on your feet all day, enjoy casual walks or jog a few times a week, having the right shoes for your needs is essential. I tested women's running shoes, focusing on foot shape, width, cushioning and responsiveness to make my runs easier and to determine which ones were the very best. Testing out running shoes while pregnant made this experience that much more interesting. Giselle Castro-Sloboda/CNETNow that I'm more than midway through my pregnancy, running looks a little different for me, but I still like to lace up and go. I tested some tried and true popular brands including Brooks, New Balance, Asics and Nike to see which held up best. I aimed to run at least 3 miles with these selections and observed the feel, comfort, weight of the shoe, unique features and more. One of my overall favorites ended up being the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 because it's well-designed and comfortable.I also consulted with a running expert on what to look for in a running shoe before making your next purchase. Keep reading below to find out which running shoes passed the test with flying colors.Best running shoes for women in 2025

  • Rent Gouging: What Is It, Is It Legal, Can You Fight Back?
    www.architecturaldigest.com
    Los Angeless rental market can be challenging to navigate in even the best of times. And, in addition to low rental inventory and dearth of affordable housing, residents displaced by the Eaton and Palisades fires are finding that some available apartments now cost thousands more than they did last week. With the influx of demand, some tenant activists have seen landlords raise prices up to 300%. Its a move thats not only unethical, but illegal. However, there are things consumers can do to fight back.What is rent gouging?Rent gouging is understood as the practice of setting rent prices too high or raising rent to an unconscionable price. According to the State of California Department of Justice, Price gouging refers to sellers trying to take unfair advantage of consumers during an emergency or disaster by greatly increasing prices for essential consumer goods and services.The state of rent gouging in CaliforniaWhen California governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on January 7, the declaration included a ban on price gouging on essentials such as gas, hotel rooms, and rental housing. For any rentals that have been on the market, you cant increase [the price by] more than 10%, says Silke Fernald, a broker associate at ACME Real Estate. Properties that were listed after the start of the state of emergency and havent been on the market in the past year can only charge 160% of the fair market rent established by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.Thousands of homes have been destroyed due to the LA fires.Photo: Lokman Vural Elibol/Anadolu/Getty ImagesWhile many local brokers and real estate agencies banded together to help compile lists of available housing to help displaced residents, there are still plenty of bad actors. Were seeing listings with rents that have been increased by 30 to 300% after [January 7], says Chelsea Kirk, a member of the Los Angeles Tenants Union and director of policy and advocacy at Strategic Actions for a Just Economy. Kirk has also seen homes that have been off the market for years, possibly used as short-term rentals like Airbnbs, suddenly get listed after the fires started. We need the people running short-term rentals to make them available to people in need of housing, but youre seeing these high price tags.These inflated prices are also being driven up further by bidding wars. Some [potential tenants] offer an absurd amount of money, Fernald says. They want to get something into place, and they dont want to necessarily [move from the] area where they live in. But these high offers are also illegal. You, as a landlord, cannot accept more [than 10%], and as a tenant you also cannot offer more, says Fernald.While the anti-price-gouging statute normally lasts for 30 days, Newsom extended the order to last until March 8. Landlords caught price gouging can face one year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman cautioned those who might look to profit off the crisis. Not only are you going to be looking at criminal penalties, youll be looking at civil penalties, and, as importantly, your name will get out there, Hochman said in a press conference on Wednesday. You will be publicly shamed.How can you fight back against rent gouging?But the onus falls on renters to report violations. While sheltering in place, Kirk started looking at rentals in her neighborhood on Zillow and found a three-bedroom home going for $12,000a high price for her area. I scrolled down, and the price history has an over 50% increase since January 7, she said. In her off hours, she began tracking listings in a public Google Sheet that quickly went viral as internet detectives near and far started tracking down listings and submitting them. The project, which has over 1,200 submissions, has evolved to include an army of volunteers who scrape data from Zillow and report violations to the citys 311 hotline, the LA County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, and the state Attorney Generals office.
