The iPhone was indeed a hit, and Apple did make history by changing the landscape of mobile communications. In fact, the original iPhone is such an iconic device that an unopened, first-gen iPhone sold for $35,414 at auction last week. The Model A1203 device, with 8 GB of storage, came in factory-sealed condition. The auction house RR Auction noted that the box features a life-size image of the iPhone with 12 icons on the screen, indicating that it is from the earliest production – a thirteenth icon for iTunes came later in 2007....

Thor: Ragnarok has now gotten an official poster, showing Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder readying himself for battle. Whereas May’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is looking to recapture the charm of the original Guardians and July’s Spider-Man: Homecoming is on a mission to show how Marvel Studios has influenced its youngest Avenger, with Ragnarok the big selling point has always been director Taika Waititi’s effort to make the third installment in the Thor series something very different, compared to what has come before....

The one-off, handmade case above featuring the original Apple Newton logo engraved in thick premium leather was commissioned by Reddit user 44oz.

GitHub initially deposited its 21 terabyte 20 February 2020 snapshot of all public repositories shortly after the pandemic began, but none of its employees were there to witness or participate in it because of the pandemic. It left that job to local contractors. The mostly QR-encoded snapshot is stored on over 180 reels of film that have, since July, sat 250 meters deep within a mountain in Svalbard, Norway, in a former coal mine....

Apple’s HomePod is set to arrive sometime in ‘early 2018’ after missing its promised December ship date. Based on Apple’s definition of ‘early’ in the year, we can expect HomePod to go on sale any day between now and the end of April. The smart speaker landscape has changed dramatically since HomePod’s unveil last June however. Missing the holiday quarter certainly wasn’t ideal for Apple, but the real shift is new competition from products that offer similar solutions to HomePod....

Earlier this week, I wrote about the surprisingly good Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen) phone I was testing at our publisher’s request, and though I wouldn’t switch from iOS to Android, the experience made plain that even a sub-$100 Android phone is competent enough today to serve as a more capable alternative to a $199 iPod touch. I’ve since been testing the $180 Moto G (3rd Gen), which is still less expensive than the lowest-end iOS device, but is faster than its predecessor, and includes still cameras rivaling Apple’s flagship iPhone 6s models....

There is a common saying among expats in China – particularly longtime “China Hands” – that goes like this: The more time you spend in China, the less you understand it. So it’s with this in mind that we try and break down exactly what’s going wrong for Apple in China these days, likely a confluence of factors from politics and economics to nationalism and a rapidly changing consumer market. There’s no easy answer....

Apple has consistently worked at making the iPhone ever slimmer, and has been willing to make compromises to achieve that, most notably in battery-life. But with the iPhone 6 and 6s, it is close to the limit on how slim an iPhone can be – and the reason for that is the oldest piece of tech in the phone. The iPhone 6/6s is not very much thicker than the diameter of the 3....

Besides, the US is already planning in shutting down the previous-gen 3G network in the country. The majority of the American and European countries are now shifting over to the latest technologies like VoWiFi and VoLTE. However, that depends on whether the smartphones from OEMs like Motorola, in the region support VoWiFi and VoLTE on major carriers or not....

Android has always been popular for the plethora of customisation features that it offers. The ability to change the UI elements of the phone using different launchers or icon packs is truly refreshing. Taking customisations to the next step is Sound Themes from the OmniROM team.

Once a user applies a sound pack, he would be able to change system sounds for camera shutter, video recording, lock/unlock sound, touch sound, dock/undock sound and more....

Is this a bad thing? That depends on how you look at the situation. If someone in China can sell a $50 phone that has a built-in web browser to a man who used to own a Nokia dumb phone with a black and white screen, that’s progress in my book. On the other hand, Google obviously wants people to use their services, so people taking Android’s source code, tweaking it, and then compiling it into something completely different obviously ruins that....
