At this point we can safely say that Apple’s iPhones will never, ever, ever include support for expandable memory. Apple makes a killing by forcing people to buy pricier iPhone models with more internal storage, and releasing phones with microSD support would put an end to that instantly. Of course, there are still ways to add expandable memory to any iPhone so that you can move large files like videos and photos off of your device, and the Lexar JumpDrive C20i Charging Cable is one of the coolest we’ve seen. It’ll connect your iPhone to a computer or charge it up, just like any other Lightning cable, but it also has a flash drive baked right in! The 128GB model is being …

A few days ago, Samsung confirmed that it’s going to hold a press conference on August 23rd in New York, where it’s expected to unveil the Galaxy Note 8. Then, the company said in its recent earnings report that the new Galaxy Note model is coming in the third quarter of the year, suggesting the phone will launch by the end of September.

An anonymous source in the White House believes that if the Russian hack your presidential campaign, you’ll never know it happened — okay, it’s Donald Trump.

Ever wonder what you're made of? Is Earth, and by extension humanity, built of matter that collected here after the big bang, or are our origins much more complicated? Our little Solar System tucked away between the massive arms of the Milky Way galaxy might not have the origins that scientists have long assumed, and new research suggests that an untold amount of matter in our home galaxy might not have originated here at all.

We’re only two episodes into Game of Thrones’ seventh season, and we already saw a major battle involving members of two of the main alliances that are currently scheming for power in Westeros. But that’s hardly going to be the only fight in the season.

Tesla's Autopilot makes driving safer. That was the statistics-based conclusion of an exhaustive NHTSA report, which found that Tesla's self-driving software generally reduced accidents by around 40 percent. But general themes don't hold true in every case, and Autopilot isn't always "better" than the Mark 1 human brain, as this video of a very near miss clearly shows. Continue reading...

The market for home internet in the US is already absurdly non-competitive. Barely 80 percent of Americans have a choice of providers for high-speed internet at home, a figure that means that you're likely living in a regional internet monopoly.

An industry analyst, Jason Bazinet from Citigroup, has penned an opinion saying that Comcast should pull a blockbuster deal and buy Verizon for around $215 billion. Continue reading...

Apple has received a permit to test millimeter-wave 5G technology in two locations near the company's HQ in California. Apple isn't the first to trial 5G -- it joins a growing list of telecoms and device manufacturers dabbling in next-gen communications -- but there is only one iPhone manufacturer. Apple applied for the experimental permit earlier this year, with the stated goal of "to assess cellular link performance in direct path and multipath environments between base station transmitters and receivers using this spectrum. These assessments will provide engineering data relevant to the operation of devices on wireless carriers’ future 5G networks." Continue read…
