I don’t like big phones. They are cumbersome to carry, they don’t fit into most of my size of pockets or purses, and I’m constantly dropping them. I wasn’t made for larger phones. But I can’t deny that they have their advantages. The bigger the phone you go, the longer the battery you’ll have so you can watch TV and chortle on the train. Plus, most of the latest large phones have extra photography capabilities you won’t get with a small phone, like the ability to zoom in at a farther distance.Samsung Galaxy Flip 5:…

Apple’s Vision Pro is set to make landfall from the company’s Cupertino spaceship headquarters Friday. Still, those who got to spend time with it early could finally break their silence Tuesday morning. From the fore, reviewers have walked away impressed with the VR headset’s strong displays, best-in-class passthrough, and hand tracking, but many also wonder just how much use they can get out of a $3,500 headset sporting a connected two-hour battery pack.Hands-On With Meta Quest 3Among reviewers, the most consistent…

If you’d like to see for yourself how Marques Brownlee mastered the art of explaining consumer technology in YouTube videos, it’s easy. Just head to his MKBHD channel, click the “Oldest” button, and check out his first tech video, which the high school sophomore uploaded on January 1, 2009. And then just keep traveling through time with Brownlee as he covers everything from relics such as the Zune and Google+ to the new MacBook Pro that Apple announced just a couple of weeks ago. With 1,500+ videos to choose from, there’s…

Marques Brownlee ushers me into his robot room, where I stand face-to-face with Colossus. An imposing yet graceful contraption, the aptly named $250,000 mechanical arm towers over my 6’3″ host, who is giving me a guided tour through his studio in Kearny, New Jersey, on a late-August morning.Brownlee is YouTube’s preeminent maker of videos about newly released technology, and he acquired the rig to perform swoopy camera pans with more balletic precision than any human cinematographer could muster.

Jeaniene Brownlee says that she wasn’t paying that much attention when her son Marques began making YouTube videos in the family home as a high schooler. She wasn’t even instinctively impressed by his love of technology. But as he kept at it—and his gadget reviews became wildly popular—she became a cheerleader, as any mother would. When he turned his talents into a real business, she leveraged her background in finance to provide guidance. Fifteen years into his career, she’s still helping him run his company, MKBHD,…

There’s nothing I would like more than for Nothing’s Phone (2) to actually look like a major upgrade from the company’s first cellular device to hit the market. But instead, all the hints we now have about CEO Carl Pei’s jump into a more premium phone market seem to be a slight upgrade from the much-hyped, LED-backeddevice that came out a year ago.What Drew John Boyega Back Into Sci-Fi? | io9 InterviewNothing has said it’s gunning for a July 11 release date, but so far has released little to no specs to the public,…

Apple’s WWDC 2023 left us with more questions than ever about where the tech giant hopes to take its brand into the future. Monday’s developer conference shook the tech world with the announcement of the Vision Pro mixed reality headset, a device that Apple tried to imply is nothing like your average VR headset while looking and interacting like a sophisticated virtual reality device. Sure, we knew it was coming, but Apple’s entry into VR—sorry, “spatial computing”— has left us with more questions than answers. Casual…

This isn’t just about aesthetics.When two iPhone users communicate, the texts are end-to-end encrypted, which means they’re more private and far more secure. When iPhones text with Androids, the messages are sent over SMS, an ancient protocol that dates back to 1992. There are other drawbacks too, for years the little heart reactions you can add to a message weren’t…
