http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f7516f02b51c7a58eb2c0b5b9cdd488.jpg With Apple still reportedly interested in entering the automotive space, a wild new rumor emerged earlier this week claiming that Apple was interested in acquiring McLaren Technology Group. The McLaren Technology Group, for those unfamiliar, widely known and respected for releasing insanely fast supercars and also for its Formula One racing team While initial reports claimed that Apple was interested in acquiring the entirety of McLaren’s business, a McLaren spokesperson quickly reached out to various media outlets and denied that any full takeover talks had taken place. Still, just be…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e27e4549b684b170fead483f7b49028c.jpgIn an unexpected if not utterly bizarre move, Snapchat over the weekend introduced a new piece of Snapchat-oriented hardware: Snapchat glasses. That's right, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel believes that the exceedingly popular instant messaging and photo sharing app can succeed where Google Glass failed. Dubbed Spectacles, Snapchat's new glasses are equipped with a video camera and, as you might expect, are pretty straight forward to use. Users simply tap a button on the frame and the glasses will record successive clips of 10-second video all from a first person perspective. (more…) Trending…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f0ad1d7ba183635e34193cefaeaa7ca1.jpgDaredevil Graham Dickinson has a flair for the dramatic. Last we saw, Dicksinson stared death in the face when he jumped offf of a cliff in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc and reached speeds of 111 MPH as he barely grazed by trees, rocks and any number of objects that would have undoubtedly killed him upon impact. Well, Dickinson a few days ago uploaded new helmet-cam footage of that harrowing jump and, as you might expect, it needs to be seen to be believed. The video would feel right at home in a Hollywood action movie, and is all the more impressive because there's no special effects wizardry or camera…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/db9c513109b044272695b3bf944f1a67.jpg See the iPhone 7 at the top of the screen? It's an incredible phone — easily the best handset Apple has ever made. It has a killer design, a class-leading camera and it's finally water-resistant enough to dunk. But it has one major problem that everyone can agree on: the battery life stinks. In fact, there isn't a smartphone on the planet that people own without wishing the battery lasted longer on a charge. It'll be years before we see any real progress where battery technology is concerned. In the meantime, check out the SlimLine 10,000 mAh Light Weight Charger for your Smartphone with …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/71ee55b1a04ad9846dd1dada4b2f22d8.jpgWith the removal of the headphone jack (oh the horror!), Apple's iPhone 7 is more water resistant than ever before. Sporting an IP67 rating, the iPhone 7 can survive submersion in water at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes straight. That's all well and good, but it doesn't really tell us too much about how the iPhone holds up to water in real world conditions. After all, it's not like anyone ever decides to just drop their phone in a meter of water and let it chill there for a half hour. So while we've seen iPhone 7s being put to the test by being dropped in bowls of water, it's time to really…

Of the two new iPhones, the iPhone 7 Plus is the one that stands out thanks to its dual-lens iSight Duo camera system that packs both a wide-angle and a telephoto lens. Extra RAM, and Apple’s custom image signal processor complete the camera package of the phablet, which might be the first iPhone to offer DSLR-like effects.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9d809476e11c46e10d5afd242b3da3a1.jpgSamsung confirmed it has already replaced around half a million Galaxy Note 7 units in the US, but it's still only halfway there. The company is also taking additional steps to ensure the safety of its customers, including a software update that helps them identify safe batteries, and lowers the maximum charge of bad batteries. But that’s not the only thing Samsung is doing to make sure its unprecedented battery problem is fixed for good. Regulators ordered Samsung that Galaxy Note 7 replacement batteries go through x-ray testing before shipping, and that Samsung conducts additional quality te…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b0b459d595692b93a2977f244de61e9a.jpgFacebook apologized on Friday for what it described as a “miscalculation” in the way it reported how long, on average, videos on the site were viewed— an error that caused the metric to be exaggerated. The error stemmed from how the company did the math on video viewing length, taking into account only people who watched a video for three seconds or more, the social media giant said. If the company had taken into account views that were less than three seconds, the average duration of video viewed would be shorter.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/58599b6a75e138896c586e49aeb3527e.jpgThough Apple improving upon its camera technology with each successive iPhone model is nothing new, what Apple achieved with the iPhone 7 Plus represents the company's biggest leap forward yet. Apple's iPhone 7 Plus is particularly impressive and capable because it comes equipped with an advanced dual camera system, with one sensor a wide-angle lens and the other a telephoto lens. Admittedly, dual camera systems aren't entirely new, but Apple's implementation is nonetheless impressive.

Sure, we've seen how the iPhone 7 measures up against the Galaxy S7 and LG G5, but how does it compare to the older generations? YouTube channel EverythingApplePro put every model of iPhone from history up against the other in a series of tests, mostly to showcase the differences in hardware from year to year.

When word of the leak broke, some in the intelligence community initially feared that they were facing another Edward Snowden situation. As it turns out, it…
