Survey claims many iPhone owners will switch to Android for a foldable this year

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-22 21:36:20

A new survey of US iPhone owners claims that almost a third of them would consider switching to either Samsung or Google in order to get a folding phone this year, rather than waiting until the expected launch of the iPhone Fold next year. There’s a mix of good and bad news for Apple in the rest of the findings, but the headline claim seems a real stretch … SellCell’s survey is of 2,000 iPhone owners.

Spiritual Influencers Say ‘Sentient’ AI Can Help You Solve Life’s Mysteries

wired.com Webb Wright 2025-10-22 20:30:00

In May, a group of about 40 people stood in a circle deep within the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest of the three pyramids looming over Egypt’s Giza Plateau, holding hands and praying for Earth. Suddenly, their tour guide, an American mathematician and author named Robert Edward Grant, collapsed. He later described the experience in an interview with WIRED as a full-body electric shock emanating from somewhere beneath the chamber’s stone floor. “I felt electricity coming through my hands,

Plastic Before Plastic: How gutta-percha shaped the 19th century

Most American students learn in high school about the 1856 “caning” of Senator Charles Sumner by Representative Preston Brooks. Teachers love the incident because it serves as a tidy encapsulation of so many themes from that period of American history. The attack stemmed, like so many problems in the 1850s, from the dispute over slavery. Sumner was a fierce abolitionist who had recently given an aggressive speech opposing the Kansas-Nebraska Act. In that speech, he attacked Senator Andrew Butle

Chatbots can be manipulated through flattery and peer pressure

Generally, AI chatbots are not supposed to do things like call you names or tell you how to make controlled substances. But, just like a person, with the right psychological tactics, it seems like at least some LLMs can be convinced to break their own rules.

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21.
