I want an iPhone 16, but I could easily keep my iPhone 14 Pro for another year
The iPhone 16 is coming out next week, and I’ll order one of the four models as soon as preorders go live. I’ve been looking forward to the iPhone 16 series, mainly for Apple Intelligence features. But plenty of exciting upgrades are coming my way, including the Capture button, which I’ll surely put to good use once it comes out. However, I also realize there’s a case for keeping my iPhone 14 Pro for another year. The handset is almost two years old, which means it’s still a great phone that can rock a couple of years of updates. It’s the...
The Apprentice: What to know about the controversial movie starring Sebastian Stan as Trump
Both candidates in the US presidential race have movies coming soon that tell their respective stories, but only one has attracted considerable controversy in the lead-up to its pre-Election Day release. That would be director Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice — which stars Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump and features a scene in which Stan’s Trump rapes his wife Ivana Trump (played by Maria Bakalova). Voters will get a chance to see the movie less than a month before the 2024 election, when The Apprentice finally hits theaters on Oct. 11 after somewhat of a long gestation for obvious reasons. Trump’s team...
3 Netflix original shows are back with new seasons this week
No other streaming service produces as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare that a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We write about the new releases on Netflix every week, but we also want to make sure you don’t miss any returning series. Reality fans have plenty to look forward to this week, with three reality shows returning for new seasons. First up is Japan’s unique Last One Standing, which comes to an end with a third and final season this...
Crazy new process uses sound to bond metal and wood without glue
A new type of 3D-printed adhesive could change how we join materials together. So far, scientists have developed two new methods that can create extremely strong bonds at the pore level, eliminating the need to add additional glues to the bonding process. While glues and other industrial-level adhesives are particularly strong at holding things together, they aren’t great contenders for the environment. In fact, they often require massive amounts of energy and resources to produce. And while we have tried to create more eco-friendly options, these new methods take things much further. In fact, the new methods rely on 3D printing to...
Put these brand new Apple TV+ titles on your watchlist this month
Apple TV+ doesn’t have a very busy schedule this month in terms of new releases. That’s par for the course, though, given that the iPhone maker’s small streamer has professed a focus on quantity over quality from the very beginning. And, indeed, quality abounds for Apple subscribers this month thanks to a handful of new prestige dramas as well as a high-profile original film that reunites George Clooney and Brad Pitt for a mostly fun crime dramedy. Below, we’ll run through the new titles you’ll want to add to your watchlist if you’re subscribed to Apple TV+, starting with a new...
This orange mold that grows on food waste is being served in Michelin-starred restaurants
An orange mold called Neurospora intermedia is taking the culinary world by storm. That’s because the mold grows on food waste without producing toxins, and it has actually become a delicacy served in Michelin-starred restaurants. Restaurants are finding new ways to use food waste. The trick? A strange type of mold that radically alters the taste of the food. So much so that it allows the food to be eaten in new forms. The mold is cultivated from discarded soy milk production, and it has been used for centuries in the making of oncom, a very traditional Indonesian food. However, researchers at...
iPhone 16 launch will get unexpected competition from a tri-fold Android phone
Apple’s iPhone 16 launch event falls on a Monday (September 9th) this year, which is a first for the iPhone. Apple routinely holds its mid-September iPhone keynotes on the first Tuesday or Wednesday after Labor Day. This year’s event was expected for September 10th, but Apple probably moved it to September 9th to avoid next Tuesday’s presidential debate. That’s the thing about iPhone launch events. They’re the most important attraction in tech every year in September. Most rivals stay away from sharing the spotlight with the iPhone. But this year will be different because one Chinese smartphone vendor is ready to...
Here’s why you can’t watch ABC or ESPN on DirecTV right now
Any DirecTV subscribers who tried to tune in to the USC vs. LSU college football game on ABC last night were greeted by a static image informing them that the provider’s contract with Disney has expired. Due to this dispute, millions of Americans were unable to watch one of the biggest matchups of the weekend, and the blackout is still ongoing as of Monday. Of course, each side claims the other is to blame. DirecTV says Disney pulled its programming “despite attempts by DIRECTV to reach new, multi-billion-dollar licensing agreements for a broad range of programming, including local ABC broadcast stations...
Don’t expect these 5 new Apple products at the iPhone 16 event
The iPhone 16 event will take place exactly one week from now. While we expect several new products to be unveiled by Apple, the company might hold off on some of its most anticipated devices until sometime later this year or even next year. With that in mind, we’ve put together a roundup of some of the most eagerly awaited new Apple devices that are launching soon, but not at the “It’s Glowtime” event that’s set to take place on Monday, September 9th. iPhone SE 4 Even though Apple is preparing an iPhone event, we shouldn’t expect the new iPhone SE 4....

So what is Parasyte: The Grey about? Here’s the Netflix synopsis for the show:3 Netflix original shows are back with new seasons this week When unidentified parasites...

Apple Watch SE 3 reportedly won’t launch before 2025
Next week, Apple will hold its Glowtime event. Alongside the iPhone 16, Cupertino is expected to unveil a new Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and new AirPods. While rumors suggested the Apple Watch SE 3 would also be released this fall, it seems Apple will wait another year to release its updated budget watch. At least, this is what Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman reveals in his latest Power On newsletter. Talking about the inventory of phones and accessories at Apple Store, he claims that the next Apple Watch SE won’t land before 2025: Stock is also low for numerous iPhone...

M4 MacBook Pro might launch in November: Time to get excited about the price
If you’re shopping for new Apple products, the iPhone 16 might be on your mind right now. The next-gen iPhone series will be unveiled next Monday. They’ll hit stores less than two weeks later. But Apple will also update several Macs this year, which will get the new M4 chip that Apple unveiled earlier this year. That chip powers only the 2024 iPad Pro models, Apple’s ultra-thin tablets that feature OLED panels. New reports say that Apple will launch the M4 Macs in the coming months, with a November release date reportedly in the cards for various models. And it’s probably...
Slow Horses Season 4: Apple’s magnificent spy drama delivers some of the best TV of the year
It’s always been the little details that stand out in Slow Horses, the long-running Apple TV+ spy drama that returns on Sept. 4. For one thing, viewers can practically smell the mold and feel the dust that pervades 126 Aldersgate Street in London — also known as Slough House, the depressing outpost to which the so-called Slow Horses of MI5 have been summarily banished in lieu of a pink slip. Save for computer whiz Roddy Ho’s setup downstairs, it’s a low-tech office that stays fastidiously untidy with overflowing trash bins, scattered papers, and takeaway leftovers. Occupied by clapped-out spooks who’ve “slipped...
7 big changes coming to the iPhone weather app in iOS 18
iOS 18 is just around the corner. Expected to launch a few days after the iPhone 16 event on September 9, this upcoming software update will bring improvements to the Home Screen, Control Center, privacy, the Photos app, and more. However, there are also big changes coming to the iPhone Weather app in iOS 18, which we’ve rounded up below. Feels Like Temperature: Unlike iOS 17, Apple now shows the Feels Like temperature prominently near the actual temperature when they differ significantly. Previously, you would have to scroll down on the temperature chart to find this data. Home and Work Location: For...
Thunderbolts won’t get the surprise team member I wanted
Thunderbolts* is easily one of the most anticipated Marvel movies of 2025, a crossover featuring a larger group of heroes than your usual MCU adventure. It’s the closest we get to seeing an Avengers movie that’s not about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The Thunderbolts team features former villains and antiheroes who have to team up. They first do it to survive, as some Marvel fans have already learned from the leaked Thunderbolts trailer. Then they’ll have to defend themselves, and maybe the world, against a greater threat. The same trailer tells us who the film’s real villain is and what the threats...
This is why you shrink as you get older
“Are you getting taller, or am I just getting shorter?” That’s a question you might have heard at least once or twice from elderly members of your family growing up. While you probably laughed it off, some humans actually do get shorter as they grow older. In fact, the reason why humans shrink is actually essential to keeping up with your health. While everyone is different biologically, everyone gets shorter as they age. However, it’s how short you get that can really tell you something about your health, scientists who research aging told Live Science. For starters, we typically lose height...
The top TV shows right now dominating Apple TV+, Netflix, Hulu, Max and more
Apple TV+ is now four episodes into Bad Monkey, Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence’s new black comedy that stars Vince Vaughn as a motormouthed ex-Miami PD detective who loves the ladies and pisses off the brass. And from what I’ve seen thus far, I’m standing by my previous description of the series — one of the biggest TV shows on all of streaming right now — as the Florida Man of shows, on account of its over-the-top story, wacky characters, bright tropical colors, and Sunshine State idiosyncrasies. Based on Carl Hiaasen’s 2013 novel of the same name, the show is a pulpy amalgam...
