Nintendo's new Switch console launched earlier this month after months of anticipation. Gaming fans couldn't have been more eager to put the Wii U behind them and move on to what looked like an exciting new console. The Switch, of course, is a fun new take on home gaming that combines a home video game console with a portable console. Nintendo's Switch has been very well received by reviewers and early adopters alike, and early sales looked very promising. Now, however, freshly reported sales figures suggest that Switch sales are already beginning to slow significantly, which could be a troubling sign depending on the root cause of the slowdown.

OnePlus just pulled a move we didn’t see coming. The company announced a special OnePlus 3T edition that will be sold only in Colette stores in Paris, and a phone version you’ll probably not going to be able to buy.

iOS 11, the next version of Apple's mobile OS expected to launch this spring, is likely going to kill support for 32-bit apps. That's going off the fact that the latest iOS 10 beta, iOS 10.3, has a pop-up that informs users using old apps that "this app will not work with future versions of iOS." You hopefully aren't still using any older 32-bit apps, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. An analytics firm has estimated that 187,000 32-bit apps remain on the App Store. Once iOS 11 rolls out, they're going to die off in short order. Continue reading... Trending right now: Tesla’s unannounced Model Y gets brought to life in new concept photo Warning: Da…

Google is constantly adding great new features to Google Maps, but there's still plenty that it can't do.

Gamers are an impatient lot and that's something I can attest to first-hand, so it's really no surprise that charging accessories that promise a more convenient way to juice up rechargeable game controllers tend to sell pretty well. There's plenty of knock-off brands making "quick," "smart," and "easy" charging docks, and while it's usually advisable to avoid the brand names you don't recognize, the Consumer Product Safety Commission just issued a recall for an Xbox One charging station from one of the most popular names in batteries: Energizer.
