Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is not a drill. Amazon has had Apple AirPods listed for sale numerous times before, but they were always sold at a premium. For people who wanted them in hand in a matter of days instead of four to six weeks, Amazon was a fine option. But not everyone wants to pay a premium even though Apple's shipping quotes are still crazy. Well, it's time to have your cake and eat it too. For the first time ever, Amazon has AirPods available for purchase at their list price of $160. The AirPods page lists them as being in stock on August 24th with free Prime shipping, which means Prime members who order them right now will have them delivered …

Earlier today, T-Mobile lit up its new 600MHz network in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Over the next year, 600MHz is going to make T-Mobile's network way better, but right now, no phone on sale can use the frequency. So to demonstrate the new network, T-Mobile had to use an unreleased device that will be compatible with its new network. T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray already confirmed that Samsung and LG will both have 600MHz-compatible devices on sale by the end of the year, and based on highly scientific forensic analysis of the video clip, all signs point to an LG device.

All things considered, the launch of the Nintendo Switch was relatively smooth. Other than the supply problems, the only major issue at launch came in the form of the left Joy-Con controller failing to pair with the console. Nintendo addressed the issue, but in the weeks following the March launch, another, far more sinister complication began to rear its head: Some Switch owners were beginning to notice that their consoles were bending in half, as if pressure had been applied. Months later, a new report claims that the warping of Switch consoles never stopped. Continue reading... Trending right now: Winter is here: Game of Thrones season 7, episode 6 just le…

If there’s one thing that's certain in Game of Thrones, it's that nobody is safe. Without any notice, one of your favorite characters will die and the show will just move forward. That’s how HBO does it, but only because that’s what George R. R. Martin has cooked up. Take episode 6 from the current season. We know some of our favorite heroes go beyond the wall, and there’s a theory that a particular bastard will not make it to episode 7. Martin, who’s yet to catch up with the TV show in his books, had a particular vision laid out for his characters when he began writing the stories. He wanted to save five people fighting for thrones, and it’ll be interesting to see whe…

We hear a lot about deceptive billing practices and bad customer service in the cable industry, but it's not often we get to see such a carefully masterminded scheme to increase prices without anyone really noticing. Over the last few months, Cox has pushed a one-terabyte data cap to customers in the majority of states it serves, including Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, and Oklahoma. Now, just a couple months after bumping customers from an unlimited service to one that's metered, Cox is introducing a "new" unlimited broadband add-on, which costs $50 on top of the basic plan.

Compared to previous iPhones, the iPhone 8 will have a variety of brand new features, including a bigger screen at the expense of the home button, wireless charging, and a sophisticated 3D facial recognition system.

However, you can already expect some of next year’s top Android handsets to copy the iPhone 8 in this regard. Continue reading...

Although all the hype is building around the iPhone 8 right now, Apple's actually slated to launch a trio of brand-new phones this fall. The iPhone 8 should be the device to have, provided that you've got MacBook money to burn on a smartphone. For those of us who only have one kidney to sell rather than two, Apple's going to also release an iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, with the usual tick-tock upgrades over the iPhone 7. Normally, that means an identical physical design, but a new rumor suggests that the iPhone 7s will have one major departure from the design we've become used to since the iPhone 6.
