news.ycombinator.com Https 2025-10-15 22:17:16

Of all the crappy ways smartphones have affected our health, this one is a real kick in the pants. A first-of-its-kind study links excessive scrolling on the phone while sitting on the toilet with hemorrhoids. (Insert poo emojis.) But, seriously.

You probably associate Anker with portable charging banks that keep your devices topped up with juice through the course of a day (or week), but the company has much bigger ambitions—as we’re going to see at IFA 2025 in Berlin. Anker Innovations, to give it its full name, incorporates not just Anker products (now the number one mobile charging brand in the world) but also the eufy smart home range and the Soundcore series of earbuds, headphones, and speakers.

Apple is expected to reveal the iPhone 17 lineup at its event on Tuesday, and that includes a new ultra-thin model, nicknamed by tech analysts as the iPhone 17 Air. But skinny phones face new challenges to woo consumers: a lighter design might feel nicer, but it could make compromises on camera quality or battery life. And a slimmed-down frame doesn't mean a slimmed-down price tag. The so-called iPhone Air is certainly a wild card for Apple to play. A different form factor could steal the spotl
