I think it’s safe to say: The Essential Phone was a flop. Even ignoring the phone’s missed ship dates and broken durability promises, it simply wasn’t competitive at $700 (roughly £500, AU$900). Review after review panned the camera, one of the most important parts of a modern phone. I called the camera app “a smoldering dumpster fire.” But here’s the …

You may have noticed that Instagram’s rearranged your feed. Now instead of seeing posts in chronological order, the app shows you what posts it thinks you’ll find the most interesting first. And that may not align with what you actually want to see at the top of your feed, which means you may miss out on some important posts.  And while …
