New Samsung foldables and wearables are coming on Wednesday, July 9. The tech giant is throwing a summer “Unpacked” event in Brooklyn, NY, starting at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, to announce new versions of its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, and refreshed Galaxy Watch smartwatches. Teased last month, we’re expecting “Ultra-worthy” design and tech specs that will—hopefully—wow consumers into paying top dollar for phones with screens that bend in half. What does Samsung need to finally impress?

Apple is famously strict about discounts, and it rarely offers price drops even on the most affordable products. If you have to buy an AirTag, you’ll usually pay $29 each on Apple’s website. But this Prime Day, the prices are to be believed: a 4-pack of Apple AirTags for $67, which works out at about $16 an AirTag. To put it into perspective, four AirTags from Apple would run you $116 so this Prime Day discount is essentially… half price. The deal is only being offered to Prime members but if y

As details about his new political venture begin to emerge, Elon Musk has confirmed that the “America Party” will embrace Bitcoin, a move that solidifies the party’s anti-establishment and tech-centric identity. The world’s richest man made the revelation on his social media platform, X, signaling a potential new frontier for cryptocurrency in American politics. The exchange unfolded after Musk positioned his new party as a home for centrists and voters disillusioned with the traditional two-pa
Ahead of Galaxy Unpacked this week, Samsung is announcing several new features coming to its smart home platform, SmartThings, including the ability to create routines using natural language. That means you’ll be able to simply tell SmartThings what you want your smart home to do, and it’ll take care of all the complicated details for you.

Apple hits back against 'unprecedented' €500m EU fine 40 minutes ago Share Save Share Save Getty Images Apple is appealing against a €500m (£430m; $586m) fine handed down by EU regulators over alleged anti-competitive behaviour on its App Store. The European Commission said in April that the tech giant had breached its laws by restricting app developers in their ability to inform customers of alternative offers or marketplaces that could be found outside its own and steer them towards purchas

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011. If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Auto
While you may not be familiar with 3i yet, you’ll certainly be familiar with its products. 3i is an innovative smart home brand powered by PICEA — a global leader in robot vacuum manufacturing since 2016, with a market share of over 30% in the high-end segment.

TL;DR The new INIU P50 is a small, 10,000mAh power bank with 45W fast charging. It features TinyCell Pro technology for a compact size and can charge three devices simultaneously. It is available in new macaron-inspired colors and includes a digital display and detachable usb-c lanyard cable. Smartphone battery sizes haven’t increased much in the US in recent years (you can blame the government for that). While most phones can survive a day on a full charge, there are plenty of instances when
Joe Maring / Android Authority Ever since Android TV underwent its transformation to Google TV a few years ago, I have had mixed feelings about the subsequent redesign of the home screen interface. While I appreciate the more modern-looking interface on one hand, the number of sponsored content suggestions has steadily increased over the years to the point of frustration. Simply put, I find sponsored content unacceptable after paying a fair price for the underlying hardware. And unfortunately,
INIU There are plenty of great power banks out there, but none of them are quite as cute and tiny as this one! Let us introduce you to one of the most interesting battery packs we’ve seen in a while. This is the INIU Pocket Rocket P50 Power Bank, a new and improved battery like no other. Does it look familiar? This is because this model is an evolution of the INIU P50-E1. The new model is available in various colorful versions, as well as the traditional black design. Don’t think for a second
Recently, Apple spent more than half a billion dollars to acquire two office campuses it had already been leasing. Now, it shelled out a few million more to avoid a potential traffic disaster in its own backyard. A long-planned overhaul of the Interstate 280 and Wolfe Road interchange, the junction between Apple Park and a massive upcoming housing development called The Rise, was on the brink of being canceled due to a funding shortfall. But Apple has stepped in with a $4 million contribution
The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking pitches from tech companies for a forensic tool intended to find “hidden language” in messages on smartphones searched at the border … The CPB says that it expects companies to propose modified versions of software they already have working, as there isn’t time to devise something from scratch. Wired spotted the request on a government procurement website. The agency said in a federal registry listing that the tools it’s seeking

Apple doesn’t want to fork over half a billion euros to the EU. The tech giant is officially appealing a €500 million ($587 million) fine brought by the European Commission in April, 9To5Mac reports. The Commission fined both Apple and Meta earlier this year for violating the Digital Markets Act through anti-competitive activities. In Apple's case, the Commission found that the company stopped developers from providing customers with information about sales and offers outside of the App Store.

I first encountered Figma in 2013, when Dylan Field demoed an early prototype to me at O’Reilly’s Foo Camp. I remember the pen tool feeling surprisingly elegant, but I missed the bigger picture: the radical implications of a design tool that ran in the browser. A decade later, Figma is a core part of our creative process, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to build a fully remote design practice. That’s probably why Dylan is a near-billionaire and I’m not. However, over the course of th
That quantum mechanics is a successful theory is not in dispute. It makes astonishingly accurate predictions about the nature of the world at microscopic scales. What has been in dispute for nearly a century is just what it’s telling us about what exists, what is real. There are myriad interpretations that offer their own take on the question, each requiring us to buy into certain as-yet-unverified claims — hence assumptions — about the nature of reality. Now, a new thought experiment is confro
