Apple always makes big claims about the cameras in its new iPhones. But what does it actually mean when Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro’s three rear cameras are equivalent to “eight pro lenses in your pocket” and that the iPhone Air’s one rear camera is equivalent to four lenses? The super-thin iPhone Air only […]
I love me a stupid-ass action movie. Something where the plot is thin while the muscles and accents on all the henchmen are thick as hell. Think Broken Arrow or Eraser – movies that were artistically and sometimes commercially terrible but nevertheless thrilling watches that you forgot about almost immediately after leaving the theater.

Apple made a lot of noise about its super-slim iPhone Air and super-citrusy iPhone 17 Pro this week, but the company gave the base iPhone 17 some major updates that make it a really great deal – and all without raising its $799 starting price.

It’s just 5.6mm thick with a 6.5-inch ProMotion display, a 48-megapixel dual camera, a selfie camera that supports Center Stage, and an add-on MagSafe battery. Among other things. We asked the staff of The Verge for their first impressions […]
Apple just announced arguably its boldest Pro iPhone color ever: the new “cosmic orange” for the iPhone 17 Pro. And to my surprise, I think it looks really good. In choosing a bold hue as its hero shade for the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple also seems to have nailed one of the season’s hottest colors. […]
It’s official, Microsoft is asking employees to return to the office three days per week.

Reports have been circulating for the past few weeks that recent Windows 11 updates (KB5063878 and KB5062660) were causing some SSDs using Phison controllers to fail.
