Even if you don't use AT&T, you've more than likely heard of the company's variety of unlimited data plans. These plans have taken many different forms over the years, with many going on to be discontinued to make way for new and improved plans.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are coming in two months, which means it’s not the best time to buy a new iPhone 15. Unless you’re in absolute need of a new iPhone right now, it’s wise to wait until September for either the iPhone 16 or for other iPhones to get cheaper.

For as long as I can remember, Microsoft and Intel have been inseparable partners. Intel made the x86 chips that were the heart of a PC motherboard, and Microsoft made the Windows operating system that ran on those PCs. The two brands were such a perfect fit, in fact, that industry analysts mashed them into a single word: Wintel.

If Intel can't come up with a Qualcomm-killer soon, it's game over for x86 PCs

Google added its modern version of gestures back in Android 10 — we dare not speak of that pill-shaped Android 9 Pie attempt — and while gesture navigation has been tweaked and improved, it still fundamentally operates the same way as it did five years ago. Back in 2019, many apps still relied on slide-out navigation drawers, which became somewhat awkward thanks to Android's new back gesture.
