Apple's new AirPods are wildly popular. So much so, that they're still impossible to find unless you want to pay a premium and get them on Amazon. The fact that they're cord-free, truly wireless earbuds is a big part of the draw for Apple's new in-ear headphones, but it's also a bit of an issue for many users who are afraid that the AirPods are too easy to lose. In fact, accessories like the Spigen TEKA RA100 AirPods Strap are extremely popular because they help ensure AirPods are secure... basically by turning AirPods into any normal wireless earbuds. Here's a different take on this design concept. The AXGIO Mini Pro is a tiny Bluetooth earbuds that sits comfortably i…

Of all the mobile devices featured in the alleged CIA documentation dump released by Wikileaks earlier this week, the iPhone is mentioned the most. Pages upon pages of research and exploits related to Apple's smartphone are now in the hands of anyone with an internet connection. It might seem like a reason to panic, and plenty of people are already doing just that, but according to one of the most well-respected iPhone hackers on the planet, nothing in the collection of information should pose any threat to an up-to-date iPhone.

There are so many great things about iPhones, from the design and build quality to the software and after-sale customer service experience that only Apple provides. Of course, there are also some things about iPhones that aren't so good — as well as a handful of things that are downright awful. They're extremely expensive, for one thing, and the fact that Apple will never offer support for expandable storage is a huge bummer. The combination of those two cons means that plenty of people opt for entry-level iPhones so they don't have to cough up $750 or more but that means having to survive with only 32GB of storage if you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, or just 16GB if…

As the debate surrounding the prevalence, scope and impact of fake news continues to rage on unabated, the latest tech company being accused of passively enabling misinformation to spread far and wide is Google.
