Apple’s new C1 brings two killer features, and it’s just the start

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-08-02 19:49:31

Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 Air will come with a key component many years in the making: the C1 modem, which debuted in the iPhone 16e. The idea of a new modem may not sound very exciting, but already with this first version it’s become clear why Apple spent so long developing it. There are cost benefits to ditching Qualcomm, but also user-facing improvements. Here are two killer features Apple’s new C1 enables. #1: Battery life gains Who among us wouldn’t appreciate a little more battery li

Dozens of ‘Ghost Galaxies’ Are Orbiting the Milky Way, Astronomers Suspect

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-08-02 23:35:25

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) theory suggests that most galaxies are low-mass dwarf galaxies, many of which orbit larger galaxies like the Milky Way. More broadly, the LCDM represents our best understanding of how the universe works. But there’s a problem. According to the theory, the Milky Way should have significantly more satellite galaxies than scientists have observed with telescopes and predicted with computer simulations.

Data brokers are selling flight information to CBP and ICE

For many years, data brokers have existed in the shadows, exploiting gaps in privacy laws to harvest our information—all for their own profit. They sell our precise movements without our knowledge or meaningful consent to a variety of private and state actors, including law enforcement agencies. And they show no sign of stopping. This incentivizes other bad actors. If companies collect any kind of personal data and want to make a quick buck, there’s a data broker willing to buy it and sell it t
