Foldable iPhone coming next year to feature four cameras, Touch ID, Apple cellular modem

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman spilled some more details about the upcoming foldable iPhone in his Power On newsletter today. He says the foldable iPhone will open like a book to reveal a larger inner display, like many Android foldables. The foldable iPhone will feature a total of four cameras, one on the front screen, one on the inside and two on the back. It will also use Touch ID for biometrics and use Apple’s in-house cellular modem for connectivity. The inclusion of four cameras supports the mu

Google Pixel 10 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro: I've used both handsets, and there's a clear winner

Kerry Wan/ZDNET After the success of launching four flagship phones last year, Google is set to continue the trend with the new Pixel 10 series. The Google Pixel 10 Pro stands out as potentially the best option for many people. With a starting price of $999, it offers a compelling blend of premium features borrowed from its more expensive sibling, all in the more manageable size of the standard Pixel 10.

Texas Instruments’ new plants where Apple will make iPhone chips

In this article TXN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT When Texas Instruments announced a $60 billion manufacturing megaproject in July, it was a bold bet that companies would want to mass produce foundational microchips on U.S. soil. In August, Apple vowed to do just that.

Apple AirTag 2 Rumors: New Features and Possible Release Date Leaked

The original AirTag was launched nearly four years ago, which is practically a lifetime for an Apple product. The little tracker has proven to be a sleeper hit with plenty of people the world over using it to find their keys, wallet, luggage and various personal belongings. But four years is a long time, and it's time this smart tracker sees an update. That sort of delay is unusual for Apple, which tends to refresh most of its product lines every couple of years. Now, as summer travel season wr

The iPhone 17 Release Date Is Coming Up Fast, but When? Leaks Hint at an Exact Date

Google just announced the Pixel 10 series of phones, which look to be the last major phone releases until Apple unveils the iPhone 17 next month. Nailing down exact dates for the new iPhone models is always a moving target due to the company's secrecy, but a number of reports and leaks are bringing reliable dates more into focus. Once the rumored iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max are revealed, we'll be able to confirm speculation about colors, display, cameras and more. We'll also learn

If You Missed This Spine-Chilling Sci-Fi Nightmare, It's Now Streaming Free on Tubi

Sci-fi horror movies have always had a niche in Hollywood, delivering scares in futuristic worlds, or in the bellies of larger-than-life spaceships hurtling through space. Event Horizon and Alien are two of the most easily recognizable films, but they aren't the only great sci-fi horror flicks. One of my favorites is Pandorum, with Dead Space vibes. Released in 2009, Pandorum is a claustrophobic trip into space in which a mechanic wakes up on a colony ship to see that things have gone very wron

Apple might release a cheaper MacBook soon, but you shouldn’t wait for it

Last month, we heard some news from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo about Apple entering a new segment of the laptop market. The company is reportedly working on a new MacBook at a lower starting price point than the MacBook Air, and it’ll apparently pack the A18 Pro chip found in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While a cheaper MacBook is certainly a welcome add, the question truly stands: will Apple do it properly, or will it serve as another decoy model? Rumor refresh To quickly recap, the cheape

SpaceX Is Losing a Staggering Amount of Money Every Time One of Its Starships Explodes

Time is ticking for SpaceX's Starship. Even after nearly ten launches, the behemoth spacecraft has yet to successfully visit space and then come safely back to Earth even a single time — but NASA is nonetheless relying on it to ferry astronauts from the Moon's orbit down to the surface just over two years from now. Given Starship's track record so far — nine full-scale test flights have ended in explosions shortly after launch, explosions in space, and crashes into the ocean — it's a steep goa

Does iPadOS 26 make the iPad a computer? [Video]

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26, it felt like us iPad users have finally been heard. For years the iPad has always been “almost there”. It had the powerful hardware, but the software made the experience too limited for most people. But now with iPadOS 26, that gap is almost gone. The new windowing system, improved multitasking, and better file management make the iPad feel more like a computer than it ever has before. So the next natural question is, can an iPad be your one and only comput

Apple could rejuvenate the next iPad Air model with one new feature

The iPad Air hasn’t been a particularly interesting product for a number of years. Apple redesigned it in 2020 with the fourth generation model, and since then – it’s just been spec bumps and small feature upgrades. However, I think the next refresh could be a great opportunity to introduce a large feature upgrade: Face ID. Face ID has remained iPad Pro exclusive Despite the fact that Face ID is now an 8 year old technology, you can still only get it on the iPad Pro. This is in stark contrast

Bluesky blocks Mississippi due to its new age verification law

Users with Mississippi IP addresses can no longer access the Bluesky app. The decentralized social media network has explained in a post that Mississippi's new age verification law for social networks "would fundamentally change" how it operates, and it wouldn't be possible to comply with its small team and limited resources. Bluesky says that while it does follow the UK's Online Safety Act, it works very differently from Mississippi's approach to age verification. In the UK, it's only required

Converting an online game to work without any JavaScript

Topics: #development Client-side rendering has become the dominant paradigm for building web apps. But frameworks like React can lead to major JavaScript execution bottlenecks during page load. For many web developers there’s a clear solution for this: Ship less JavaScript to the browser.

‘Zipotle’: Chipotle Wants to Drop a Burrito on Your Head with New Drone Delivery

Chipotle says it’s jumping on the drone delivery bandwagon. This week, the company announced a new pilot program in Texas that will test the viability of airdropping customers’ orders into their backyards for them. A press release published Thursday makes the whole process sound quite easy as far as drone-robot hybrid delivery burritos go. Certain customers in the Rowlette suburb of Dallas will be able to download the app for Zipline, Chipotle’s new drone partner, and place their orders. Then,

Watch Live as SpaceX Tries to Prove Starship Isn’t a Total Flop With Flight 10

SpaceX is gearing up for the tenth test flight of its megarocket following a streak of failures that have cast doubt on Starship’s ability to fly to Mars in 2026. Starship is slated for lift-off on Sunday, August 24, during a launch window that opens at 7:30 p.m. ET. SpaceX recently wrapped up investigations into the rocket’s previous test flight, which took place on May 27 and ended with the vehicle breaking apart during reentry. This was the third Starship flight of 2025 and the latest in a s

Bluesky Goes Dark in Mississippi over Age Verification Law

Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 deal: Is it better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7?

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may be getting more attention, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s your best flip phone option. Many will prefer the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, especially at the current discounted price point. This offer puts both phones at the exact $1,099.99 cost, but the Motorola handset usually is $1,399.99, and many would argue it is actually a better phone.

When Starship Comes to Florida, Expect 2-Hour Flight Delays, FAA Warns

SpaceX aims to expand its Starship operations to Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a goal of launching 44 super heavy-lift rockets per year. If regulators approve this plan, the uptick in launch activity could result in more ground stops, reroutes, and flight delays at major airports throughout the Sunshine State, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. In a draft environmental impact statement released this month, the FAA states that airports such as Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Internation
