iPhone Gaming Is Convoluted. Here's What the iPhone 17 Needs to Sway Me as a Gamer

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-07 04:00:20

I've been trying to use my iPhone as a gaming handheld for years but I often hit the same roadblocks when trying to have it replace my Nintendo Switch when I travel. And it's not for lack of Apple and other companies trying, as there's tons of gaming content available for the iPhone between titles that run directly from the device to more-intensive games that I can stream over a strong internet connection. Gaming on the iPhone is more convoluted than it should be and it's frankly easier to do o

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2026-01-07 09:52:21

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during an event with Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Oval Office of the White House on August 6, 2025 in Washington, DC. U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on the import of semiconductors has brought major chip names into the spotlight. Questions linger about how these duties will be implemented: will they apply to the raw chip itself that is imported, or the end product, like a smartphone or laptop? And how much manufacturing needs to actually be

That “something big” is undoubtedly GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest frontier model coming to ChatGPT. The company shared a less ambiguous post on X yesterday teasing the upcoming livestream. Since then, Altman has added that OpenAI’s next livestream will be “longer than usual” with a runtime of “about an hour.”

Apple is reportedly working with Samsung to build iPhone image sensors in Texas

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-07 10:00:21

Apple has announced that it's working with Samsung at its Texas plant to "launch an innovative new technology for making chips." Those chips are reportedly cutting-edge image sensors for iPhones, according to The Financial Times. That in turn means that Sony may no longer be Apple's only supplier of smartphone camera sensors for its upcoming phones. The chips in question are reportedly three-layer stacked image sensors that will allow for fast smartphone camera shooting speeds and high-frame-ra

Photographer spends years on street corner capturing same commuters daily (2017)

In the rush of commuters, what he found was a glimpse of universal habits and the long trek to work.

Ceretone Core One Pro Hearing Aids Review: A Blunt Instrument

Ceretone, born on Indiegogo, hit the scene last year with impressively tiny hardware that still remains one of the smallest and lightest hearing aids I’ve ever reviewed. At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from

The greenhouse gases we’re not accounting for

Researchers around the world set to work unraveling the mystery, reviewing readings from satellites, aircraft, and greenhouse-gas monitoring stations. They eventually spotted a clear pattern: Methane emissions had increased sharply across the tropics, where wetlands were growing wetter and warmer. That created the ideal conditions for microbes that thrive in anaerobic muck, which gobbled up more of the carbon-rich organic matter and spat out more methane as a by-product.

Scientists have recreated the Universe's first molecule

Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high temperatures and densities. However, after just a few seconds, it had cooled down enough for the first elements to form, primarily hydrogen and helium. These were still completely ionized at this point, as it took almost 380,000 years for the temperature in the universe to drop enough for neutral atoms to form through recombination with free electrons.
