When you cut the cord, you can maximize your access to free content by taking advantage of the Internet, streaming services, and a traditional antenna. The new NextGen TV standard, or ATSC 3.0, takes this to the next level. With a NextGen-enabled TV and an over-the-air antenna, you’ll now be able to access features that were once digital-exclusive, such as HDR content, interactive features, enhanced audio, and more. To be clear, it will be available via live streams. But unlike the Internet, which requires high-performance hardware, cables, and a solid connection on the other end for high-speed access, the quality…

We’ve all heard the horror stories, or maybe you have one to share yourself: You move into a new house, hire movers (or pay a few friends and family with pizza and beer to help you), and that fancy flat screen gets scratched, dented, or broken in the process. If only you had saved the box it arrived in for safer transport! Yes, that’s an irritating thought for anyone who hates clutter, especially if you live in a small house or apartment with limited storage space. But it’s worth it to avoid a costly accident. The case not only fits…
Amid suggestions that Rockstar Games is spending up to $1.5 billion on the development of Grand Theft Auto VI, which would make it the most expensive video game ever made, there is at least one other game confirmed to have reached 10-figure funding. Star Citizen has now raised over $1 billion in funding from over 6.5 million people. Star Citizen first appeared in 2012 with a Kickstarter campaign that had a relatively modest goal of $500,000. Developer Cloud Imperium Games exceeded that goal as backers shelled out more than $2.1 million (a separate campaign at the time brought in $4.1 million). The project broke…
It’s crazy to think that today’s phones offer terabytes of storage, a huge jump from the 4GB or 8GB capacities available when Apple first released the iPhone nearly 20 years ago. For the longest time, Android makers relied on expandable microSD storage (and some still do), while Apple only had a few storage options. Currently, an iPhone starts with at least 256GB of storage (and can go up to 2TB), but on the Android Marketplace, there are still 128GB phone options. With that in mind, you’re probably wondering whether you can get away with 128GB or need to upgrade to…
WWDC 2026 is two weeks away. Here’s a selection of things I hope to see in Apple’s new OS 27 updates that aren’t exactly rumored. Health app on Mac Apple introduced the Health app to iPad two years ago. It’s great to have access to all the data on the big screen. Next, I really want to see Apple Health come to Mac. Mirroring iPhone to iPad The Mac introduced iPhone Mirroring last year, and it’s surprisingly useful for accessing and controlling iPhone apps that aren’t on the Mac (like Health). iPhone mirroring is something I miss when using the…
Have you ever wondered how to carry a smartphone in your pocket or bag all day without the screen getting scratched from regular wear and tear? In many cases, the screen of a phone or similar device is made from a Corning product called Gorilla Glass. Given the durability of the latest generations of Gorilla Glass, there’s a case to be made that smartphone screen protectors are no longer necessary. However, as Android Authority recently pointed out, several phone makers have begun moving away from Gorilla Glass in favor of their own in-house alternatives. It’s easy to assume that companies…
The iPhone 17 series has been a huge success for Apple since the first pre-order weekend, with three of the four models selling out repeatedly through December. The standard iPhone 17 was a surprise, with significantly higher demand than its predecessor. The iPhone 17 series helped Apple win the top spot in the smartphone market in 2025, and the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Pro were the three best-selling smartphones in the first quarter of 2026. Apple has repeatedly praised the iPhone 17’s sales performance, with Tim Cook telling Reuters ahead of the December 2025 earnings…
If you own an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the perfect smartwatch companion. It can track vital signs, workouts, activities, calories burned, and more. Not to mention, you can receive notifications, access apps, and pay for items. Naturally, any watch is designed to be worn around your wrist, but if you’ve ever wondered if it could work around your ankle, you’re not alone. With the right band, you can absolutely strap an Apple Watch around your ankle and then go for a walk, do an intense workout, or go about your daily activities. And before you scoff at the idea,…
Reports and rumors suggest that the next MacBook Pro Apple launches might not be a MacBook Pro at all. It could actually be something entirely new and more exciting – a “MacBook Ultra” – positioned above the Pro as Apple’s premium laptop, suggesting that the current M5 Pro and M5 Max models will remain on sale when they launch. The MacBook would be just the latest Apple product to carry the Ultra name, which already covers the Apple Watch Ultra and CarPlay Ultra (not to mention Apple’s high-end silicon chips designated Ultra). This will likely result in a significantly higher…
If you’re using an iPhone 16 or newer, you might be interested in a Qi 2.2 charger to take full advantage of the 25W MagSafe charging speeds your phone supports. Anker’s new Prime MagSafe 3-in-1 25W is one of many great options, and it comes in a great portable design. Prints The big trend in the second half of 2025 was to bring 25W Qi2.2 to every possible wireless charging accessory, and that’s going to continue through 2026. Anker is kicking things off with a new portable MagSafe 3-in-1 that packs 25W Qi2.2 support into a very portable design.…
