My iPhone X just celebrated its third birthday, which is significant for a couple reasons. First, it’s the longest I’ve ever held onto a single phone; usually I upgrade every year or two. Second, like any three-year-old model, its battery ain’t what it used to be. Thus I found myself thinking about a new phone, …

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon. Samsung’s Galaxy S21, the follow-up to last year’s Galaxy S20, has arrived earlier than the company’s flagship phones usually do. (Here are CNET’s Galaxy S21 review and Galaxy S21 Ultra review.)

Apple CEO Tim Cook used an appearance on a virtual International Data Privacy Day panel Thursday to attack Facebook in a series of thinly veiled jabs and to call for global data privacy reforms.

From Amazon’s Echo Frames to Facebook’s plans for augmented reality, to Microsoft’s HoloLens and the ongoing reports of Apple’s AR plans — there’s a lot that seems to be cooking. But in the short term, the road to magical Tony Stark glasses is more likely to …

What I like most about the ZenBook Duo 14 is that you really can’t tell from the outside of the laptop what you’ll see when you lift the lid. Despite opening and closing it countless times at this point, I still get a kick out of seeing its secondary 12.6-inch touchscreen rise from above the keyboard to meet the bottom …

Facebook may file an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, The Information reported Thursday, alleging that Apple abused its power through its App Store rules. The social network’s potential suit apparently says Apple forces outside developers to stick to rules that its own apps don’t have to follow. The report, much of which is behind the outlet’s paywall, cites anonymous sources and …

Apple’s iPhone sales surged to their highest point ever, as eager fans snatched up the company’s new iPhone 12 during the holiday shopping season, despite the continued spread of the coronavirus. The three months of Apple’s fiscal first quarter included the launch of its new series of phones, ranging from the $699 iPhone 12 Mini to the $1,099 iPhone 12 Pro Max. They weren’t …
