Ready for a Juice Boost? Apple's iPhone 17 Lineup Reportedly Has Bigger Batteries

The leaks just keep coming ahead of Tuesday's "awe-dropping" Apple event, and it looks like the iPhone 17 series will have significantly bigger batteries. According to leaker @ShrimpApplePro on X, Chinese regulatory listings indicate that all the new phones that Apple is unveiling on Tuesday -- the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max -- will have larger batteries. The exception will be the iPhone 17 Air, which is trading its ultrathin build for less battery capacity. We have no way

Joe Rogan Misinterprets Important Scientific Study So Badly That Its Author Steps in to Correct Him

Never one to properly interpret anything scientific, uber-popular podcaster Joe Rogan has become entranced by a study that affirms his climate skepticism. Now, as The Guardian reports, one of the study's authors is setting the record straight and pointing out that Rogan is not only drawing the exact opposite conclusion from the study, but that he's spewing misinformation to a vast audience using his incorrect takeaways. Over two years, scientists from the University of Arizona, Tucson and Smit

I spent the weekend playing Silksong on my phone — Here’s how

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority When the first ASUS ROG Ally dropped back in 2023, Hollow Knight was the very first game I played on it. I know, the game had been out for more than five years at that point, but it was my reintroduction to handheld gaming after nearly a decade of nothing but online live service games. And I was hooked. Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong is out, I wanted to continue the trend of playing on a handheld rather than my gaming PC. But the landscape has changed since

Tropical Storms Routinely Shredded Baby Pterosaurs, Fossil Evidence Suggests

The Solnhofen Limestone, a fossil hotspot in southern Germany, hosts a particularly rich array of baby pterosaur bones. That led paleontologists to believe that the animals flourished here—until an autopsy unveiled the broken, storm-tossed wings of two baby pterosaurs, painting a darker picture of how the bones got there. In a Current Biology paper published September 5, paleontologists at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom describe the tragic tale of Lucky and Lucky II, two baby

Mads Mikkelsen Reunites With ‘Hannibal’ Creator Bryan Fuller to Slay Monsters in ‘Dust Bunny’

We may never get another season of Hannibal, but there’s some comfort to be found in Dust Bunny, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller‘s feature directorial debut—which just so happens to star Dr. Lecter himself, Mads Mikkelsen. He plays a hired killer who befriends his young neighbor after she loses her family; she believes a monster did it, but he’s got an equally scary, more real-world idea of the culprit. Check out the first trailer for Dust Bunny here: Written and directed by Fuller, Dust Bunny a

All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity

Last year, we reported on the efforts of classic iPod fans to preserve playable copies of the downloadable clickwheel games that Apple sold for a brief period in the late '00s. The community was working to get around Apple's onerous FairPlay DRM by having people who still owned original copies of those (now unavailable) games sync their accounts to a single iTunes installation via a coordinated Virtual Machine. That "master library" would then be able to provide playable copies of those games to

Congress and Trump may compromise on the SLS rocket by axing its costly upper stage

There are myriad questions about how NASA's budget process will play out in the coming weeks, with the start of the new fiscal year on October 1 looming. For example, the Trump administration may seek to shut off dozens of science missions that are either already in space or in development. Although Congress has signaled a desire to keep these missions active, absent a confirmed budget, the White House has made plans to turn off the lights. Some answers may be forthcoming this week, as the Hou

Nova Launcher’s demise is another death knell for the Android I remember

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Like many fans, news that Nova Launcher has hit the end of the road is a bad way to start my week. I’ve been a paid-up Nova Prime user since my Galaxy S2 and currently have the launcher padding out all the missing creature comforts on my OPPO Find X8 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. It might not be everyone’s preferred third-party launcher these days, but it’s been my pick for as long as I can remember. As someone who swaps phones regularly, Nova has been my consisten

The main benefit of this is that you can control your services even when you’

If the iPhone 17 doesn't get ProMotion, I won't be upgrading my iPhone 12

In 2020, I bought an iPhone 12 to replace my aging Pixel 3 , and nearly five years later, I'm still using that same device because it works fine and Apple has yet to bring the feature I want most on a regular iPhone: a ProMotion display. If you're not familiar with the company's marketing lingo, ProMotion is its way of describing a high-refresh rate display. Apple introduced ProMotion with the iPhone 13 Pro . Since then, every Pro model has offered a 120Hz refresh rate display with the ability

VMware's in court again. Customer relationships rarely go this wrong

How Yichao “Peak” Ji became a global AI app hitmaker

At first sight, Manus works like most chatbots: Users can ask it questions in a chat window. However, besides providing answers, it can also carry out tasks (for example, finding an apartment that meets specified criteria within a certain budget). It does this by breaking tasks down into steps, then using a cloud-based virtual machine equipped with a browser and other tools to execute them—perusing websites, filling in forms, and so on. Ji is the technical core of the team. Now based in Singapo
