Year to year, CES has a certain sameness about it: Intel’s booth at the front, Sony’s in the back and thousands of ginormous TVs in between.

Is this really any different from last year? On the one …

Here’s a New Year’s resolution for tech companies: Stop ruining things by releasing them early. Yes, I know it’s tempting to test the waters and beat the competition to the punch, but what if things go bad? What if your shiny new phone ruins your company’s reputation? What if your world-changing gadget isn’t so world-changing because you forgot a key …

No matter how you describe Apple’s deliberate battery slowdown — be it gaffe, snafu, royal screw-up  or just #batterygate — the company’s PR mess could cost it 16 million iPhone units in 2018, according to analysis from investment firm Barclays Capital.   Depending on a number of factors, Apple’s iPhone 6S could have slowing performance.   Josh Miller/CNET That estimate …

Next stop for the 5G hype train: Reality?

I was writing up Mophie’s new Powerstation AC, a $200 external battery with built-in AC power, when I noticed that MyCharge’s competing Portable Power Outlet (normally $180), was on sale for 40 percent off.
