Drone enthusiasts in the United States may be eagerly awaiting the Potensic Atom 3 due to its small size and affordable price, but just like drones made by DJI, devices from Chinese company Potensic have also been banned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Cheng Xin/Getty Images Corning’s Gorilla Glass is a household name in displays, smartphone and smartwatch touchscreens made with its proprietary material with a reputation for being highly resistant to cracks and scratches. Gorilla Glass still regularly competes with Ceramic Shield when it comes to smartphone protection. While this material is very good at withstanding the rigors of daily life, including an occasional brush with your car keys, it is unfortunately not invulnerable, which has caused some manufacturers to stop using Gorilla Glass.

Erman Gunes/Shutterstock While many streaming services are worth your hard-earned money, sometimes you want to stream shows for free. Tubi is one such platform, much like Roku in its own way, although you need a Roku streaming device (some of which are better than others) to access the free shows. Today, the company that owns the first buys the second. On June 15, 2026, Fox Corporation announced the acquisition of Roku for $22 billion, or approximately $160 per share. This is not an offer, but a “definitive agreement” with the…
Apple’s standard iPhone 18 model will launch in early 2027, based on comments from a company supply chain partner that appear to corroborate rumors of a delayed spring release for the base model. Apple typically works on an annual smartphone release cycle in which its entire latest flagship iPhone series launches in the fall, usually around mid-September. This looks set to change this year, however. Multiple reports claim that the base iPhone 18 model will carry over until spring 2027, and only the iPhone 18 Pro models will debut this year alongside Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Now, comments from a…

This update hasn’t been released for any other…
