iPhone inflation? Industry analyst predicts significant price bumps for iPhone 17 series

Jason Hiner/ZDNET The latest US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have put Apple at a bit of a crossroads. With multiple tariffs impacting countries worldwide, including a 10% charge on all imports from China, electronics makers like Apple will soon have to decide if they'll take the brunt of the damage or redirect it to end consumers by increasing the price of goods. That includes the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and more. Also: Apple launches $599 iPhone 16e: Best features, specs, and

DC Is Relaunching Batman for Only the Fourth Time in Almost 85 Years

A Batman #1 doesn’t come along very often. Well, unless you’ve been reading comics for the past 15 years, in which case, it’s come along a couple times already. Modern comic books! But even then, in what is about to be eight-and-a-half-decades of Batman that’s still not a lot of relaunches–and DC is going all-in to make this fourth one stand out. Last night at ComicsPro DC confirmed that the fourth-ever relaunch of the primary, solo Batman book (there are of course, dozens upon dozens upon doze

Musk’s Plan to Kill the ISS Early Is a Selfish, Shortsighted Move

The immediate future of the International Space Station is suddenly in doubt thanks to a single tweet. Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and unelected advisor to President Donald Trump on basically everything, wants the venerable station gone, and he wants it gone sooner rather than later. On Thursday, Musk posted on his X platform that he believes it’s “time to begin preparations for deorbiting” the ISS. “It has served its purpose,” he declared. “There is very little incremental utility. Let’s go to

48TB of Your Own Personal Cloud Storage for Under $300, Amazon’s Best-Seller Hits a New Low

Cloud storage has been one of the better advancements of the last 15 years. The ability to access any of your documents, photos, videos, or file of any type wherever you are is no short of a miracle. Some folks still don’t have a firm grasp on what exactly cloud storage is. In short, it’s just saving stuff to someone else’s computer. But that’s hogwash. Just save it to your own computer and do the same thing yourself. Right now, you can get this UGreen NASync 2-Bay desktop for a solid 15% discou

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.

Alexa Is Getting a Major AI Upgrade From Amazon. What We Know So Far

Amazon is expected to announce a major artificial intelligence upgrade for its voice assistant Alexa next week, which could change how we interact with this popular piece of smart home tech. Amazon sent out media invites for a Feb. 26 event in New York City, and Amazon's Devices and Services team lead Panos Panay is scheduled to speak.

Premier League Soccer: Livestream Leicester vs. Brentford From Anywhere

Brentford travel to Leicester on Friday as they aim to do the league double over the Foxes for the first time since 1953. The Bees come into this English Premier League clash off the back of a battling 1-0 London derby win away at West Ham last weekend. That result has given Thomas Frank's men a 4-point buffer in 11th spot over 12th-placed capital rivals Tottenham. Leicester City, meanwhile, remain in the bottom three after putting in a hard-fought but ultimately fruitless display in their 2-0

DeepSeek goes beyond “open weights” AI with plans for source code release

Last month, DeepSeek turned the AI world on its head with the release of a new, competitive simulated reasoning model that was free to download and use under an MIT license. Now, the company is preparing to make the underlying code behind that model more accessible, promising to release five open source repos starting next week. In a social media post late Thursday, DeepSeek said the daily releases it is planning for its "Open Source Week" would provide visibility into "these humble building bl

The mood during the second half of the 2024 NCAA women’s basketball national title game was predictably intense. In what would later be revealed as the most-watched women’s college game of all time, the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks were looking to close out a perfect season against Iowa and superstar Caitlin Clark. The score margin had rarely left single digits. Players on both squads were leaving everything on the floor. As Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley instructed her team during time-ou

Did a Rock Hit Your Windshield, or Did Your Windshield Hit a Rock?

You’re driving along, minding your own business, and—TING! Something smacks your windshield. You didn't see it coming, but the glass is cracked. Where the heck did it come from, and why did it hit your windshield? As I always say, you don’t understand something unless you can model it. So let’s try a little thought experiment. We’ll start with a basic scenario, where someone ahead of you drops an object in the road, and then see what we need to make it work. Follow the Bouncing Ball OK, imagi

DeepSeek to open source parts of online services code

In Brief Chinese AI lab DeepSeek plans to open source portions of its online services’ code as part of an “open source week” event next week. DeepSeek will open source five code repositories that have been “documented, deployed and battle-tested in production,” the company said in a post on X on Thursday.

The best VPN services of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

Virtual private networks (VPNs) encrypt your data and hide your IP address. But there is far more to VPNs than that: they are essential tools to stop others from spying on your online activities, and they can help protect your sensitive information from theft. A VPN is vital when you are traveling or when you have to use public Wi-Fi networks. They forge an encrypted tunnel between your device and the service you are trying to access, which can prevent eavesdropping and stop you from being so e

Best Noise-Canceling Headphones for 2025

Google Pixel Buds Pro: The Pixel Buds Pro are Google's first earbuds to feature active noise canceling. While it's nice that they finally have a feature that a lot of true-wireless earbuds have had for a while, what ultimately sets the Pixel Buds Pro apart and makes them worth considering -- particularly for Android users -- is their distinct design and winning fit. That helps enhance their performance on both the sound quality and noise-canceling fronts. While not quite elite for voice-calling,

Elon Musk Just Caused a Huge Headache for the New Head of NASA

SpaceX CEO and unelected White House advisor Elon Musk unexpectedly said today that he wants the International Space Station destroyed "as soon as possible." In a tweet today, the mercurial entrepreneur asserted that it's "time to begin preparations for deorbiting the space station," arguing that "it has served its purpose," with "very little incremental utility." Instead, Musk argued, the station should be destroyed within two years — but left the final decision "up to the President." It's a

Most People Still Aren’t Happy With Their Internet, but It’s Not All Bad

The American Customer Satisfaction Index released its annual survey, based on over 25,000 customer interviews, revealing how we really feel about our internet service providers. The good news for ISPs -- things are trending up. Overall, ISPs scored 71 on the ACSI's 100-point scale -- an increase of three points over 2023 and the highest score since the ACSI started measuring ISPs in 2013. The not-so-good news? Internet service providers still rank at the bottom of the index, just ahead of subscr

Amazon surpasses Walmart in revenue for the first time

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy speaks during the New York Times DealBook Summit in the Appel Room at the Jazz At Lincoln Center in New York City on Nov. 30, 2022. Amazon has dethroned Walmart in quarterly revenue for the first time ever. Amazon said earlier this month that it brought in $187.8 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter. That beat Walmart's sales for the period, which came in at $180.5 billion, the company reported on Thursday. Since 2012, Walmart has held the distinction of being th
