When Apple launched the iPhone 17e, the company doubled the storage and added what it calls the “magic of MagSafe” to the $599 iPhone 16e replacement. Apple’s decision to bring MagSafe to the latest iPhone means that every iPhone includes a useful hardware feature that no Samsung phone offers. Every new iPhone sold by Apple includes MagSafe When Apple introduced the iPhone 16e in March 2025, not including MagSafe in the budget model didn’t make much sense. The iPhone 16e replaced the iPhone SE, which technically never had MagSafe charging, but it still seemed like a dud. However, since March…

Master Press/Getty Images Not long ago, it could have been reasonably argued that virtual reality (VR) headsets were poised for a breakthrough in popularity. However, it now appears that the initial excitement surrounding these devices has dissipated. As Business Insider reports, while sales of lighter, tech-based smart glasses may increase, by 2025, shipments of heavier VR headsets appear to have fallen by about 43%. As a VR headset owner, I can personally speak to the factors that could be driving this trend. In early 2020, looking for a device that…

José Adorno/BGR We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Today, all Apple iPad models have a USB-C port. Although only iPad Pro models support Thunderbolt, there are still plenty of gadgets you can plug into your tablet, like a microphone for podcasts, a powerful power bank, or even an external storage drive. Even though some of the best accessories people should have for their iPad don’t require USB-C, like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, there are several USB-C products that can make your iPad more useful.…

Chinese leaker “Instant Digital” said today that the iPhone 18 Pro will not feature dual-layer OLED technology, adding that Apple’s current thermal management approach remains a limiting factor for sustained outdoor brightness on Pro iPhones. In a new post on Weibo, Instant Digital commented on a question about when dual-layer OLED would come to iPhone, simply saying: “The 18 Pro definitely won’t have it anyway.” The leaker earlier this week reflected on last year’s predictions, noting that the iPhone 17 Pro made little significant progress in maintaining peak brightness levels outdoors. Instant Digital suggested that without changes to Apple’s thermal…

After several years of rumors, Google today confirmed a new laptop-focused initiative called Googlebooks. ChromeOS, launched more than 15 years ago, was designed with the idea that most people now do everything online; Google says this new category of laptops is designed for a Gemini-first world. The company has only given us a very brief overview of what constitutes a Googlebook, with plans to more formally announce more details, including hardware, later this year. Here’s what we know so far. The operating system running on Googlebooks has its origins in Android, which is something we’ve been hearing about for several…

Apple Notes has long been one of my most used apps, and iOS 27 would add a powerful new feature that I know will quickly become a must-have feature for me. iOS 27’s new Siri should have special Notes integration I’m a heavy user of Apple Notes, currently having nearly 2,700 notes in iCloud. So every time Apple adds new features to the Notes app, I’m especially intrigued. iOS 26 offered some modest updates to Notes, like the Smart Adaptive Toolbar and Markdown import and export. My favorite change is probably just the Liquid Glass UI. But iOS 27 is…

It’s a big weekend in America for Apple and racing. F1 returns to the United States with the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday on Apple TV. Meanwhile, Apple and Porsche have collaborated on the design of an anniversary race car that will hit the California track, also on May 3. Porsche announced today that it has worked with Apple to recreate the look of the iconic Porsche 935 K3 race car sponsored by the company in 1980. Viewers will see the familiar wrap of a pair of Porsche race cars this Sunday during the IMSA race at Laguna Seca Speedway…

Health and fitness wearables are currently experiencing something of a renaissance, like the Oura Ring and smartwatches. In Oura’s case, it’s a sleek, lightweight smart ring capable of tracking all kinds of health metrics, from sleep to heart rate to temperature. In fact, it includes so many advanced features that it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of what different indicators, including a red light, actually mean. A red light on a health tracking device might seem alarming, but don’t worry: If you’ve grabbed an Oura Ring 4, one of our favorite smart…
