The ‘most meaningful feature and technology upgrades in iPhone’s history’ are coming this year
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 19 views
Apple will likely celebrate the iPhone’s 10th birthday by releasing three models -- which would be a first. The iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will simply be iterations of the existing 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone designs we’ve had for a few years, while the iPhone 8 might have the “most meaningful feature and technology upgrades in iPhone's history.” Continue reading...

New NASA flyovers get you closer to Pluto and Charon than you ever could’ve imagined
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

The New Horizons spacecraft has Pluto well and truly in the rear-view mirror by now, as it's on the way to check out the Kuiper Belt. But the magic of space exploration is that long after the probe has departed, scientists still have mountains of data to sift over. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of New Horizons' flyby of Pluto, NASA's team of scientists has put together a two-minute video of a Pluto flyby, based on elevation data and observations made by New Horizons during its short but glorious mission.

How Apple could use the iPhone 8 to completely transform FaceTime
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 28 views
Apple already revealed many things about iOS 11 at its developers event in June, but it likely kept secret a few of them -- those which will only be available to iPhone 8 buyers. After all, just like with any previous iPhone, it’s the software that makes it shine. However, Apple did demo one feature that’ll surely work better on the iPhone 8 than on any iOS device, and a new discovery suggests it could be used to completely transform FaceTime experiences.

Charge your iPhone 7/7Plus and listen to music at the same time with this updated adapter
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 28 views
There are tons of adapters out there that let you connect a Lightning charger to your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus while also listening to music through wired headphones. Unfortunately, however, users have had issues with many of them as new iOS updates have been released. The Charm Sonic iPhone 7 Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter is the latest and greatest option out there, and it has been updated to work with the most recent versions of iOS. As expected, it provides a standard Lightning port for charging as well as a regular 3.5mm audio jack for your headphones. Apple isn’t bringing the headphone jack back to its iPhone lineup anytime soon, so do yourself a favor and gr…

A closer look at the iPhone 8’s facial recognition feature
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 21 views
Regardless of whether or not the iPhone 8 will feature Touch ID, it's all but guaranteed that the device will feature facial recognition technology. Over the past few weeks and months, word that the iPhone 8 will incorporate facial recognition has been corroborated by a number of credible sources, not to mention an endless stream of iPhone 8 parts leaks featuring discernible cutouts for additional camera sensors on the front panel of the device. That being the case, we thought it would be a good time to take a closer look at what the iPhone 8's facial recognition system will likely bring to the table, from both a performance and security perspective. While Apple tends …

Google will launch two Pixel models this year, according to multiple independent reports, including one that’s going to look like the original Pixel and one that will embrace the full-screen design that’s in fashion this year. HTC will reportedly make the Pixel 2 based on the iPhone-like Pixel design it used last year, while LG has been tasked with creating the Pixel 2 XL, which will look a lot like the LG G6 and the Galaxy S8 when it comes to screen size.

by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

Honestly, this Amazon sale is so good that it isn't fair to all the other wireless speakers that are currently available on Amazon. Seriously, why would anyone by those other speakers when the Nekteck 10W Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is currently half off? This speaker offers killer battery life of between 12 and 16 hours of playback per charge, and it's also dust- and water-resistant with an IP65 rating. It has the latest Bluetooth 4.1 Class II and supports A2DP V1.2, AVRCP V1.4 profiles, as well as a USB port so it can pull double duty and charge your smartphone like a portable power pack. This Nekteck speaker has an impressive 4.5-star rating and it normally …

Report: Production issues will make Apple’s iPhone 8 delay worse than we thought
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 14 views
The iPhone 8 is already expected to be delayed compared to its predecessors. Reports say that Apple will unveil it during a regular September event alongside the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plys. It will then go on sale in the weeks following the keynote, but only in small numbers, according to these rumors. How long will we have to wait to see the iPhone 8 hit in stores in bulk? Conflicting reports have said it could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Now, a new story indicates we might be in for a huge wait. And if this new report pans out, the iPhone 7s may see some delays of its own. Continue reading... Trending right now: The iPhone 8 design was ‘…

New update transforms HTC’s latest flagship into a portable Amazon Echo
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 17 views
If you have an Echo Dot from Amazon, we've told you on several occasions about a very cool accessory from Vaux that instantly transforms it into a portable Alexa speaker. There's even a less expensive option called the Fremo Evo, and it's far more compact as well. The Echo Dot is a pretty awesome portable speaker, but even with the smaller Evo accessory it still won't fit in your pocket. Of course, some day just about every Android phone will also be an Alexa phone as Amazon continues to build new partnerships that push Alexa's reach further than ever before, and the first flagship Android phone with Alexa voice service built in was released earlier this year. Now, howeve…

Some matters of opinion are responsible for heated debates. iPhone or Android? Coke or Pepsi? Chocolate or vanilla? But every so often there’s a "best" option that no one in their right mind would bother to contest, and such is the case with the question of the best universal remote brand out there. It’s obviously Logitech’s Harmony line of remotes, and one of the best of the bunch, the Logitech Harmony Elite Remote Control and Hub, is discounted right now on Amazon. Here are some highlights from the product page: The most powerful and intuitive Harmony remote works with Alexa for voice control.

It's not as if the tech world needs another messaging app, but that apparently won't stop Amazon from throwing their hat into the ring. According to a new report from AFTVnews, Amazon has been busy working on a new messaging service dubbed Anytime that seems to toe the line between a traditional messaging app and a fledgling social network.

As far as mobile advertising is concerned, the less intrusive they are the better. While some websites have frustrating ads that forcefully interject themselves into your web browser, users can easily fight back by refusing to visit sites with insufferable ads. But what happens when mobile users can't escape pestering ads because they're inextricably tied to the OS itself? Continue reading...
