The best iPhone accessories for 2025

There are often better and cheaper alternatives to Apple’s first-party accessories, but the company’s MagSafe wireless charger is worth considering if you have a new iPhone. Like all other MagSafe accessories, this charging pad uses magnets to attach to the back of the latest iPhones and it’s surprisingly strong. Not only can you safely pick up your handset and use it with the disk still attached, but the iPhone can dangle by the charger’s cord without falling off. (You still probably shouldn’t

An alarming number of people across Africa may be taking cancer drugs that don't contain the vital ingredients needed to contain or reduce their disease. It's a concerning finding with roots in a complex problem: how to regulate a range of therapeutics across the continent. A US and pan-African research group publ

Thousands in Norway told they had won life-changing sums in lottery error

Thousands of Norwegians were mistakenly told they had won life-changing sums in the country’s Eurojackpot draw after an error by the state-owned gambling operator, Norsk Tipping. In a statement on Friday, Norsk Tipping said “several thousand customers were notified of incorrectly high prizes”. The mistake has prompted the resignation of the company’s chief executive. The company receives prize amounts from Germany in euros, which are then converted to Norwegian kroner. “It is during this conv

Louvre shuts down with staff sounding the alarm on mass tourism

PARIS — The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and a global symbol of art, beauty and endurance, has withstood war, terror, and pandemic — but on Monday, it was brought to a halt by its own striking staff, who say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism . It was an almost unthinkable sight: the home to works by Leonardo da Vinci and millennia of civilization’s greatest treasures — paralyzed by the very people tasked with welcoming the world to its galleries. Thousand

Dave the Diver's In the Jungle DLC may not arrive until 2026, but Godzilla is back

Dave the Diver just marked its two-year anniversary, and the team behind it has a bunch of updates to share about its future. While it's mostly good news, there is one little hiccup: the upcoming In the Jungle DLC , which was announced a few months ago and was expected to arrive later this year, now isn't likely to launch until 2026. But everything else announced in the 11-minute anniversary video should make up for it. That includes the return of the time-limited free Godzilla DLC , which is no

Loss of key US satellite data could send hurricane forecasting back 'decades'

A critical US atmospheric data collection program will be halted by Monday, giving weather forecasters just days to prepare, according to a public notice sent this week. Scientists that the Guardian spoke with say the change could set hurricane forecasting back “decades”, just as this year’s season ramps up. In a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) message sent on Wednesday to its scientists, the agency said that “due to recent service changes” the Defense Meteorological Sate

NASA Continues Testing Multi-Billion Dollar Rocket While Trump Is Actively Trying to Cancel It

Despite president Donald Trump's plans to phase out Boeing's mega-expensive Space Launch System rocket for NASA, the agency is currently trundling ahead with the original plan. As Ars Technica reports, NASA and Northup Grumman tested an experimental hydrogen-based propulsion engine this week that's slated to launch the world's first crewed trip to the Moon as part of the agency's long-awaited Artemis mission. Unfortunately, this week's SLS engine test — the second such test launch in a week —

I switched to a Wi-Fi-enabled smart lock with facial recognition - and can't go back

ZDNET's key takeaways As part of its Zeno Series, Lockly's Visage smart lock is available now for $349. The Lockly Visage comes with facial ID support, automatic unlocking when you're near, and Apple Home Kit compatibility. The Lockly app can be more user-friendly, as it's difficult to find certain settings, and it's pricier than most locks. $349 at Amazon $349.99 at Best Buy more buying choices I've always been drawn to Lockly because of its PIN Genie technology -- a system that displays a u

Snap & Grab Is an '80s Glam Heist Game That's 'Hitman' meets Pokémon Snap

At Summer Game Fest, I tried out one of the more stylish, relaxing games that made me wish I had pals on the couch to play with. But instead of a co-op adventure, Snap & Grab, as it's called, is a heist title where players take on the role of a fashionista photojournalist who steals gaudy treasures from rich doofuses to fill her penthouse. Snap & Grab is the debut title for studio No Goblin, which held its demo in publisher Annapurna Interactive's closed-door area at the annual gaming festival.

13 Best MagSafe Power Banks for iPhones (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other MagSafe Power Banks to Consider Photograph: Simon Hill We like a few other MagSafe power banks that didn’t make it into our top picks. Sharge Icemag for $34: I am usually a sucker for Sharge’s translucent cyberpunk aesthetic, and the Icemag has RGB lighting and a tiny fan inside! It charges iPhones at 7.5 watts and offers 20-watt wired charging with an ample 10,000-mAh capacity. But it is relatively bulky, and the fan emits a high-pitched whine. You will only hear it if you are somewher

Trump says he’s found a buyer for TikTok

In Brief A group of “very wealthy people” is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump. “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. “I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.” Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time). Trump has repeatedly

Vapes Clouds Contain Absolutely Horrifying Chemicals, Scientists Find

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments If you vape — and especially if it's because you think it's a less harmful alternative to smoking — then we have some really bad news. New research from the University of California, Davis, shows that some popular disposable vapes contain levels of toxic metals so appalling that they exceed traditional cigarettes. And we don't just mean a single cig — we're talking packs of them. The work, published as a study in the journal ACS Central Science, sounds t

G7 agrees to exempt U.S. multinationals from global minimum tax

The Group of Seven nations said on Saturday (June 28, 2025) they have agreed to exempt U.S. multinational companies from a global minimum tax imposed by other countries — a win for President Donald Trump's government, which pushed hard for the compromise. The deal will see U.S. companies benefit from a "side-by-side" solution under which they will only be taxed at home, on both domestic and foreign profits, the G7 said in a statement released by Canada, which holds the group's rotating presiden

The Death of the Middle-Class Musician

Rollie Pemberton was barely a teenager when he started rapping. His hometown, Edmonton, didn’t have much of a hip-hop scene in the early aughts, so he honed his craft online. He plugged an old-school microphone into his mom’s desktop computer, recorded a few verses, later turned them into tracks, and sent them out into the burgeoning music blogosphere. Within a few years, he’d adopted the emcee name Cadence Weapon and earned a reputation as a shrewd critic and sharp lyricist. This work didn’t p

Paleontologists Find Skeleton That Weirdly Looks Exactly Like Barney the Purple Dinosaur

We're a happy fa-m-ily! Funky Dino Deep in the heart of Texas, a goofy-looking dinosaur skeleton has been unearthed — and it's got a funny head that makes it look like a dead wringer for Barney, the purple lizard of 90s television fame with the annoyingly cheery voice. As the Houston Chronicle reports, the dinosaur in question — called Eryops megacephalus — has a wide, grinning smile on a large flat skull that sits on four squat legs. Paleontologist Andre LuJan told the newspaper that he foun

Are TikTok Age Tests Legit? Orthopedists Explains How to Measure Biological Age

If you’ve scrolled through TikTok or Instagram, you’ve probably seen fitness challenges based on your biological age. In some cases, it’s funny to see people attempting feats that seem impossible for their age or impressive that they can do them. You’ve probably felt inspired to try out some of these challenges and even questioned their legitimacy. “Most of these challenges, like completing 11 consecutive push-ups (for women), doing pull-ups or performing a kneeling-to-squat jump, are quick scr

At 20 years old, Reddit is defending its data and fighting AI with AI

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman stands on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) after ringing a bell on the floor setting the share price at $47 in its initial public offering (IPO) on March 21, 2024 in New York City. For 20 years, Reddit has pitched itself as "the front page of the internet." AI threatens to change that. As social media has changed over the past two decades with the shift to mobile and the more recent focus on short-form video, peers like MySpace, Digg and Flickr have fade
