I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

I grew up with Alex Pretti

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Alright but once you see it you can't unsee it! Here's iPhone vs Indigo processing. It's usually faces that are small, in the distance that get the demon treatment. The iPhone just tries so, so hard to make this poor guy's sunglasses his eyes.

I think the Pixel 9 has a slight edge! Lots of folks complain that the Samsung camera is still too slow with moving subjects, personally I think it’s about the same as most other phone cameras. But the pixel does more to try and get a sharp face.

First of all congrats!!! Ooo honestly the Pixel 9 Pro and any Galaxy S25 would be a good choice. I like the portrait mode a bit better on the Samsung, and I started using portrait mode waaaay more when my kid was born. Pixel camera is a little snappier though, feel like it’s the better all-rounder

But is Trump gonna pay the tariffs on the white label phones he’s importing before slapping a made in America T1 logo on them?

My S25 Edge review is gonna be a minute because I'm taking some time off for a milestone birthday but god damn if Samsung isn't still killing it in the portrait mode game

Allison Johnson @allisonjo1.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Oooo this is a great question! I'm gonna need a minute to think but I'm leaning S25 Ultra? The anti reflective screen would be good on the job I think.
