The original iPhone came out in 2007, but I received mine in 2008 as a birthday gift. Not only was it my first iPhone, but it was also my very first Apple product. But my clumsy little self had a case of the butterfingers one day, and I ended up dropping it on concrete — resulting in a shattered screen. This was just a few weeks before the iPhone 3G was coming out, so instead of just getting the screen replaced, I decided I would upgrade my phone instead....

Summary Pixar has a complicated history with sequelsand franchise expansions. For every great one (Toy Story 3, Incredibles 2), there are a few that feel superfluous at best and just plain bad at worst (Lightyear, bothCarsfollow-ups). Thankfully, the studio’s latest,Inside Out 2, leans more towards greatness than redundancy and even though it falls short of being one of Pixar’s best films, it’s a worthy addition to the animation giant’s library....

Summary I freely admit that, when I first watchedThe Acolyteepisode 4, I never expected this to be the one that set theStar Warsfandom alight. I foresaw the Chosen One controversy last week, when a throwaway comment inferred Anakin Skywalker may not have been the first one to be born of the Force. But I never imagined that a blink-and-you’ll-miss-itcameo by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundiwould lead to death threats against editors on Wookipedia, the celebratedStar Warswiki....

I’m a few days into using the new 11-inchiPad Air (2024), and one single feature decision has annoyed me to the point where I’m questioning why it exists at all. In Apple’s current iPad range, theiPad Pro (2024)is definitely the professional’s choice, while the regular iPad is the one for the bargain hunter. The iPad Air sits awkwardly in between them. While it seems to offerall the power and abilityyou could want without paying the iPad Pro’s high price, it doesn’t have the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate screen — and that’s a serious drawback....

An AI expert has accused OpenAI of rewriting its history and being overly dismissive of safety concerns. Former OpenAI policy researcher Miles Brundage criticized the company’s recentsafety and alignment documentpublished this week.

Ransom Canyon hides a Taylor Sheridan Easter egg right under our noses If you’re a trueYellowstonefan, you’ll know the new Netflix seriesRansom Canyonisn’t really anything like it. But there is a nod to Taylor Sheridan himself, if you look hard enough. Nobody wants a trip to the train station… well, not if you’re a character in aTaylor Sheridan series, at least. Full of explosive shootouts, true grit, and a lot of foul-mouthed danger, shows like Yellowstone, 1923, and 1883 have set the precedent for modern Western TV....

Realmeis a relative newcomer to smartphones, having only launched in Europe in mid-2019 following its debut in China the year before. But it has since built up a portfolio of well-priced phones. The latest is theRealme 7 and Realme 7 Pro, which now come to the U.K. and Europe after debuting in India this September. I’ve been using the Realme 7 Pro for a few days, and it has a feature we don’t see very often on phones at low prices: Very fast charging....

Most of us learned in school that the Earth has four layers in its internal structure: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. But recent research reveals that the inner core itself has layers, and that there is a fifth layer to this picture. The innermost inner core is thought to be a solid metallic ball around 400 miles across, according to seismologists from the Australian National University....
