I recently reviewed the Motorola Moto Z4, which sells for $499 unlocked here in the US. It’s part midrange phone, part modular monster and, with the addition of a $349 mod, part gateway drug for Verizon’s fun-sized 5G network. The reason it’s difficult to recommend the Moto Z4 to anyone other than 5G early-adopters or …

When the Galaxy Note 10 was announced on Wednesday, Samsung talked about its new design, upgraded cameras and even introduced a second, larger model called the Note 10 Plus. But one thing that was never mentioned (aside from the Galaxy Fold) was the fact that there was no longer a headphone jack on the Galaxy Note. A slide shown across …

Update, Sept. 18: We now have a retail model of the Galaxy Fold and have begun to review it. If you don’t quite remember what was happening on April 26 of this year, I don’t blame you — it was a pretty long time ago. To jog your memory, it was Arbor Day, National Pretzel Day, Good Friday and the …

Despite being over 30 years old, GIFs are used more than ever by people to express themselves on their phone or computer, especially over social media. Let’s get this out of the way.

There are numerous reasons to delete or deactivate your Facebook account. You might be concerned about how the social networking site compromised and exposed the private data from millions of its users. Or you might be upset with the inadvertent role Facebook played spreading false information from foreign governments about US candidates in the 2016 presidential election. Or you could …

The iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR phones are updates to 2017’s iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus. The iPhone XS retains the familiar design of the iPhone X, including a 5.8-inch OLED display and stainless-steel sides. Apple also offers a larger version of the XS with a 6.5-inch OLED display called the iPhone XS Max. Read: iPhone 11: …

If you own an iPhone XS ($899 at Amazon), XR or X, you can look forward to a much more fulfilling video experience soon. In iOS 13, Apple’s next major iPhone software update, videos you film will finally be able to fill the entirety of your screen. I stumbled upon a hack, albeit a very film nerdy one, in Apple’s …

The new Beats Powerbeats Pro wireless earphones are similar to Apple’s AirPods in terms of function, but they are much more rugged earbuds and designed to withstand abuse from workouts. They’re water-resistant so they can handle your sweaty ears, and include Apple’s H1 chip for easy pairing. But don’t let the minimalist black design fool you into thinking these workout-friendly Beats …

When Apple announced on Thursday that Jony Ive was leaving the company, I immediately thought back to when David Letterman retired from his Late Show in May 2015. After walking away to spend more time with his family, Letterman launched another talk show three and a half years later called My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. It …
