Tim Cook earlier today addressed growing concerns that Apple is no longer interested in catering to creative professionals. During a Q&A session at Apple's annual shareholder meeting, Cook said that Apple remains committed to the Pro market and that the company has no plans to abandon that specific user demographic.

It’s not uncommon to see companies announce products that aren’t really ready to be used at major trade shows. They can’t even be touched while on the floor, because they might sport unfinished hardware or software. Eventually, these products do get made according to the announced specs, and you get to buy them a few months later. But this year, Chinse smartphone maker Oppo did things a little differently. It announced a massive smartphone camera innovation, one that it teased in the weeks preceding the event -- but that camera has no phone. I was able to test Oppo’s 5X Dual Camera Zoom at MWC 2017, and I walked away impressed. The company came up with an interesting w…

The screen has always been an area of innovation for the iPhone, and Apple is getting ready for a major overhaul this year. The next iPhone will have an OLED screen, multiple reports claim, as Apple is looking to improve display performance and quality beyond what LCD can currently offer. However, not all 2017 iPhones will receive an OLED display, a new report indicates, with the iPhone 8 expected to be the only new model to have an OLED display. Continue reading...

No matter how large your television gets, it will never quite match the experience of a cinema-quality projector.

It can display images from your computer via HDMI, but also boasts WiFi, Airplay, and Android Miracast capabilities so you can stream your favorite…

Guinness World Records has recognized a robot with a unique ability: a machine called FORPHEUS is officially the “first robot table tennis tutor.” The contraption, which holds a ping pong paddle and can play against and even teach a human, taps artificial intelligence to determine the ability of its opponent. It uses two vision sensors to keep a robotic eye on the ball, as well as a movement sensor that focuses on the human player’s movement. Continue reading...

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the discovery of massive supernova called SN 1987A, NASA pointed the lens of the Hubble Space Telescope in its direction once again, snagging an updated photo, but that's not all the agency has to offer. NASA is really great about releasing stunning images of the awesome sights it manages to capture out in the depths of space, but its latest release takes things to a whole new dimension.

Sony has been a leader in the TV market for what seems like an eternity. Even back in the day when TVs were 3 feet deep and weighed 2,500 lbs, the company has always been at the top of the pile when it comes to picture quality and features. Typically, however, that great quality comes with a pretty hefty price tag when it comes to Sony. That’s why sales on Sony TVs are always of particular interest, but this one takes the cake. Our favorite 65-inch 4K model from Sony — the Sony XBR65X850D 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV — is on sale right now on Amazon for $1,398, and we can’t say enough good things about this set. Among TVs this size in the sub-$2,000 price range, you won’t…

The market for virtual reality gadgets is so odd and fragmented that it's honestly impossible to forecast how any one product will perform once it's available for sale, but in the case of the PlayStation VR, sales have somehow surpassed expectations. In a recent interview with the New York Times, Sony Interactive Entertainment's Global CEO, Andrew House, finally shed some light on just how many of the PlayStation VR headsets the company has managed to sell, and the number is impressive from a number of different angles.

There's just something about time-lapse videos that mesmerizes us, but despite companies like Apple building time-lapse recording features right into their devices, not everyone is skilled enough to actually make a decent one. Filmmaker and adventurer Morten Rustad, on the other hand, is more than qualified, with years of experience under his belt and some extremely impressive videos to his credit. His latest is his best yet, taking an absolutely mind-boggling 28 months to create from scratch. Continue reading...

AT&T wants to merge with Time Warner Inc, a move that would create a leviathan new corporation with unprecedented control over both the internet and the content that travels over it. Traditionally, multi-billion-dollar mergers that change the competitive landscape are subject to major scrutiny. In the past, that scrutiny has come from both the Department of Justice and the FCC, in the case of a telecoms deal. But Trump's new FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, has already given the merger his virtual blessing. Continue reading...

Amazon's Alexa is truly taking the world by storm, but since the company's smartphone ambitions have hit a bit of a brick wall, the dream of using Alexa on the go has fallen well short of reality. That could change soon thanks to a new partnership between Amazon and Motorola. At MWC this week in Barcelona, Motorola announced that its Moto Z handset will be getting an Alexa-enabled Moto Mod speaker, and it already looks pretty awesome. Continue reading...

If there was one thing Donald Trump was going to do were he elected president, it was to repeal and replace Obamacare. This has been a goal of the GOP since the day the Affordable Care Act became law, and with a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate under Trump, many assumed it would be one of the first pieces of legislation from the Obama administration to go, replaced with something else. Unfortunately -- as John Oliver explained on Last Week Tonight -- the GOP's replacement healthcare plan needs to actually exist before the Republicans can convince anyone it's better than Obamacare.

Contrary to what some people might think, Mobile World Congress isn’t a show dedicated solely to smartphones. We’ve got all sorts of other products coming out of each edition, including laptops and tablets. And it’s precisely laptops and tablets that I talked to Lenovo about at MWC 2017 — you know, soon after I spoke about smartphones with Lenovo's Motorola. Just like last year, Lenovo brought over a slew of new computers at MWC, including Android tablets that won’t break the bank, and Windows 10 laptops that will make the most of Microsoft’s latest operating system.

Sony early on Monday morning took the wraps off what can only be described as the best smartphone of Mobile World Congress 2017 so far, a phone we didn’t see coming. With the Galaxy S8 missing in action, we expected LG, Huawei, and even Nokia, try to steal the spotlight of the show. But Sony casually announced during a press conference hosted at its booth at MWC a brand new flagship handset that’s not only the first smartphone with a 4K HDR display, but it also packs the one chip that we're yet to see out in the wild, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. Sadly, the Xperia XZ Premium will likely be just another hot Sony phone that the crowds will ignore. Continue reading... …

Apple made waves recently with its brand new wireless headphones that it launched alongside the iPhone 7 last fall. The AirPods are best-selling headphones, but they’re not the only wireless solution out there. In fact, at last year’s Mobile World Congress, Sony came out with the Xperia Ear, its own smart wireless headphones. On Monday, Sony revealed a bold new design for the Xperia Ear, proposing those in attendance at its MWC 2017 press conference a pair of wireless headphones that would sit outside the ear.
