gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-09-20 05:40:43

Earlier this month, Apple announced it would be raising the starting price for its most advanced iPhone by $100.

Since then, they've been using powerful telescopes to study the mysterious object, trying to understand its unusual composition and exact origins.
