9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-28 23:42:31

A few days ago, CIRP published a study showing what leads people to upgrade their iPhones and how Apple Intelligence isn’t exactly it. Now, CIRP is back with a follow-up question: What happens to those old iPhones once users finally make the leap to a new model? The used iPhone market is stronger than ever According to CIRP’s latest data, nearly half of iPhone buyers (49%) in the past year either traded in or sold their previous device. That’s a meaningful jump from 43% in 2020, and reflects h

It turns out that Summer is pretty hot for most of us. While there are those who proclaim to love being cooked alive while out and about, but we reckon they’re lying. The key is good air conditioning, and while many homes have that installed, you’re not always at home. So, what is one to do when they have to leave the house in this heat?

This New Watch Is Being Purpose-Built for Space Exploration—and It's Not an Omega

wired.com Chris Hall 2026-03-02 00:00:00

When you think of space exploration and watches, one name immediately comes to mind: Omega. Since its Speedmaster chronograph was selected by NASA half a century ago it has become synonymous with space travel. The timing of a 13-second engine burn to save Apollo 13 cemented its role in space history, and Omega has not missed a single opportunity to deepen the partnership, from officially naming it the Moonwatch to creating endless commemorative limited editions (even if it is by no means the onl

Samsung needs to build a Galaxy Watch that looks as good as this mod

TL;DR A Redditor modified a mechanical watch body to fit the electronics from a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The 40mm Watch 4 was supposedly the only one small enough to fit in the case, which appears to be from a Panerai Luminor watch. Even the crown button is reportedly functional.

Tesla’s robotaxi reality check

How Prehistoric Mammoth Tusks Could Help Bust Modern-Day Ivory Smugglers

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-04 17:00:57

Selling elephant ivory—a hard white material from elephant tusks, for which elephants are often killed—is illegal. Selling ivory collected from the remains of extinct Mammoths, however, is—somehow—not. Because the two are hard to tell apart, illegal traders are slipping under the radar by mixing elephant ivory with legally traded mammoth ivory. A new forensic tool, however, might soon put an end to this nefarious trick. Wildlife forensic scientists in China suggest that authorities can differen

Everybody Needs to Calm Down About the Switch 2 Screen and ‘Ghosting’

Methane Pollution Has Cheap, Effective Solutions That Aren’t Being Used

wired.com Umair Irfan 2026-03-06 23:00:00

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years, its warming effect is about 30 times that of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. That means that over the course of decades, it takes smaller a
