Anyone who’s been to the movies in the past 10 years knows Imax. The format delivers today’s blockbusters in stunning crystal-clear, giant-screen presentations — for a higher ticket price, of course. Now, the company wants to bring a version of that cinema experience home. It’s joined forces with DTS for Imax Enhanced, a new certification …

I wake up. I reach for the iPhone X. I pick it up in the dark, face half-smushed in the pillow. I feel the haptic rattle. The iPhone X won’t recognize my face. It’s frustrating, because there’s no denying that Face ID is an amazing technology: Bleary-eyed wakeups notwithstanding, it works most of the time, and it’s the best facial …

You know that feeling when something is important to you but other people just don’t care? That’s how some congressional lawmakers felt this week after Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and, notably, no one from Google testified for a combined eight hours before two committees. The hearings were kind of important, given that they focused on hot-button …

Apple on Sept. 12. Google on Oct. 9. And now, Microsoft will hold its own special event between those two dates — we just received an invite to a Microsoft event on Oct. 2 in New York City. The only hint Microsoft’s giving us is the phrase “A moment of your time,” but CNET understands that there will be Microsoft …

The United States’ proposed $200 billion tariff on Chinese-made products might not affect your next TVs or phone purchase directly, but Apple now says that a whole lot of other Apple products would get hit by the 25 percent increase in import tax — including the Apple Watch, AirPods headphones and HomePod smart speaker.

Apple’s annual fall launch event on Sept. 12 is widely expected to bring new iPhones, the Apple Watch 4 and maybe even new Face ID iPad Pros. But that event also effectively marks the second anniversary of the Apple AirPods. Despite all the snarky remarks about their design when they were first unveiled in 2016, the AirPods have taken the headphone market by storm and become …

This story is part of WWDC 2022, CNET’s complete coverage from and about Apple’s annual developers conference. Don’t think of Apple’s AirPower as an iPhone afterthought. The wireless charging pad, which the company announced almost a full year ago, could be an important piece of Apple’s iPhone strategy for 2018. If Apple finally announces AirPower’s sale price and sale date …

Soon you’ll be able to send and receive texts from your Windows 10 device without taking your phone out of your pocket. Microsoft is rolling out a Your Phone feature for Windows 10 that lets you send and receive texts from your Android phone, on your computer. Your Phone was first unveiled at Microsoft Build in May, and the company …

The vast majority of mobile chargers (also known as power banks) require you to BYO cables. That’s a first-world problem if ever I heard one, but it’s a hassle all the same. Ideally, a charger should have the cable you need built right in, so there’s one less thing to bring, clutter up your carry-on and accidentally leave behind in …

Last Wednesday, a seemingly innocuous request appeared in Google’s Chromium codebase: “Add mappings for “Hamburger” and “Assistant” keys on Hammer/Wand/Whiskers and BRYDGE keyboards.”  But that single sentence may have been enough to reveal a secret — Google may be planning to bring a new wave of high-end Chrome OS tablets to market.
