It may not happen with this year’s iPhone 8, but Apple dreams of charging its future products with the help of conventional Wi-Fi routers or even other Apple products. The technology would not only offer a way for various devices to potentially be used as wireless chargers but would also fix the most annoying thing about wireless charging nowadays: You still have to place a device in the proximity of a charging mat or device.

Almost every other Android user in the world is jealous of people who have already managed to buy Samsung's new Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+. We say "almost" because there's one group of Android fans who would trade their current smartphones for a Galaxy S8 or anything else in the world. That's right, we're talking about Google Pixel and Pixel XL owners, who can proudly proclaim that their smartphones have the best software (pure Android) and the best smartphone cameras in the world. What they can't proclaim, however, is that they have the most durable smartphones in the world — drop an unprotected Pixel and it's pretty much done for. Keep your Google phone safe without obs…

Chris Taylor, a self-professed virtual reality junkie based in Atlanta, has given enough demonstrations of VR tech to keep seeing the same thing happen over and over. The user straps on the headset. It’s their first introduction to playing in a computer generated virtual world that they’re now seeing unfold all around them. Ok, they say, as they’re getting adjusted -- where are my hands? They grope around, feeling things out. Seeing that happen often enough gave Taylor and some friends an idea: something that might complement existing VR headsets on the market and give users an even richer VR experience is a pair of gloves. Specifically, gloves that use haptic feedb…

Xiaomi has said for years they were working out how to finally bring their extremely popular mobile devices to the United States.

Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are the best smartphones the world has ever seen in so many ways. They’re powerful, they’re versatile, and their displays are incredible. But if there’s one thing that stands out more than anything else, it’s obviously the phones’ stunning new design. Samsung has truly outdone itself and created a smartphone that is nothing short of mind-blowing. In fact, the Galaxy S8 is so impressive that it even makes Apple’s iPhones look old and outdated. Of course, there is one small problem with Samsung’s gorgeous Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ design, and it’s this: the phones are so nice that everyone is going to have one before you know it. Tha…

Apple fans are always ravenous for new colors and designs on the company's devices, so it came as no surprise when the Jet Black iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus immediately became the most difficult iPhones to find when they launched last year. If you weren't willing to wait for the Jet Black stock to replenish, you probably went ahead and picked up a Gold, Silver or standard Black iPhone instead. It's a frustrating concession to make, but if you still want a Jet Black iPhone (and don't want to have to pay $600 or so to get one), a glossy skin from EasySkinz can do the trick for a fraction of the price.

A few months ago, Uber signaled its intention to embark on a new initiative with the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry to an even greater degree than mundane carpooling. In a 100-page whitepaper published last October, Uber introduced us to Uber Elevate, a nascent program seeking to make the sci-fi notion of flying cars a reality. And putting its money where its mouth is, Uber just two months ago hired a former NASA engineer with an impressive and oddly robust research background involving flying car technologies to head up the program.
