At launch, both of the Pixel 4A 5G and Pixel 5’s rear cameras worked in astrophotography mode. Then, like the Grinch in the night, Google quietly took the ability to use the ultrawide for night sky photos away — and it’s been absent on subsequent models.

T-Mobile paid for a chunk of 2.5GHz spectrum licenses earlier this year, but hasn’t been able to access them because the FCC’s authority to actually hand out the licenses has been in limbo. Now, Congress has passed a bill that allows the FCC to give T-Mobile access to the spectrum, which appears to be destined for fixed wireless. How thoughtful!

Version 3.5 of the Mac image editing app adds support for HDR photos. Reminder: this is the good kind of HDR, not the over-processed stuff. iPhones — and soon lots of Android phones — capture more highlight information than a typical SDR image, resulting in more lifelike rendering on an HDR display. Pixelmator is the latest editing app to let you play with that extra data.
