The iPhone 8 starts at $699 for a 64GB model and the iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799 for a 64GB model. Pre-orders start… Read More

iPhone X battery makes big promises

The iPhone X seems like quite the whopper of a phone. Between an OLED display, a pair of excellent-sounding cameras, and the A11 Bionic chip that powers the whole thing, battery life has got to be a worry for the end-user, especially in a phone this thin. Apple is well aware of this, and in California today, Phil Schiller attempted … Continue reading

Apple announces a wireless charging case for the AirPods

 Apple announced the AirPods at the iPhone 7 launch event. A year later, Apple is already updating its wireless earbuds, well at least its case. Even though the AirPods are still backordered in most stores, the company just announced a new optional charging case. The AirPods case still works and looks more or less the same. But the indicator light is now outside of the case so that you can… Read More

Animoji is Apple’s animated emoji for iPhone X only

Your face will be tracked by the iPhone X, and in turn the emoji you send to your best friend will make your facial expressions. It’s a concept Apple calls Animoji, and it’ll be coming to iOS 11 very soon. Users will be able to access iOS 11 on September 19th – but the iPhone X will be the first … Continue reading

iPhone X basically has a Kinect on the front to enable FaceID

 It remains to be seen whether Apple’s FaceID will be as convenient as TouchID (it already failed on stage), but at the very least we can’t accuse Apple of not dedicating enough hardware to the task. The front of the new iPhone X has a full-on depth-sensing system much like that of the original Kinect. The prominent cutout on top hides more than a selfie camera — it has a pair… Read More

PUBG’s September update detailed with map tweaks and a new weapon

It’s time for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to receive its monthly update, and this one sure seems to be a big one. The update is hitting PUBG‘s test servers today, which means that – barring some major issue that needs to be patched out immediately – it’ll be arriving on live servers later this week. Patch notes aren’t the only thing we’re … Continue reading

Apple reveals AirPower wireless charging pad coming in 2018

 Apple has a new wireless charging pad called the ‘AirPower’ which is essentially a mat with room for your new iPhone 8 or iPhone X, as well as your Apple Watch, and even AirPods with a new optional wireless charging case accessory. It’ll charge all of them without any cables required, but you’ll have to wait until 2018 to get one – Apple said it’s coming… Read More

iPhone X hands-on : Apple’s OLED flagship up close

Familiar, and yet so very different. That’s my first impression of the iPhone X, Apple’s brand new flagship iOS smartphone, revealed today at the Steve Jobs Theater in California. First things first, arguably the most important thing if you don’t want to look stupid when you walk into your nearest Apple Store: it’s pronounced “iPhone Ten”, not “iPhone X”. It’s … Continue reading

DNA proves high-ranking Viking warrior was a woman

The Viking warrior buried in the grave bj581 was female, according to DNA testing, revealing an instance in which a woman obtained a high status among the Vikings. This is at odds with the traditional image of Vikings, though the notion itself isn’t new. The grave was excavated in the 19th century; the presence of weapons and shields in the … Continue reading

Apple is releasing macOS High Sierra on September 25

 Apple has been hard at work on four different operating systems — iOS, tvOS, watchOS and macOS. And the company just updated its website after its iPhone launch event. It now says that macOS High Sierra is going to come out on September 25. macOS didn’t get any love this time around as the company didn’t even mention High Sierra once. Maybe there wasn’t enough time.… Read More
