This means that I missed out on the Dynamic Island… innovations that came in with the iPhone 14 Pro.Yes, I know what it does, yes I’ve reviewed a couple of iPhone models since then. But nothing like taking it on as my only carry and using it as my main phone.Over this past month, I’ve put my SIM card into the ol’ iPhone 16 Pro Max, tempted by that Liquit Glass software and that last-of-a-kind titanium body. And I’ve…
Buying a charger directly from Apple is like paying a luxury price for basic functionality. A 70W USB-C power adapter from Apple’s official store costs $59 and if you want a USB-C cable to go along with it, you’re adding another $19 to $29 depending on the length. That’s close to $90 before tax for slower charging speeds than what this Anker charger delivers. This Anker option packs 100W of power and includes a 5-foot cable, all for just $21 during this limited-time deal, down from the usual $27. This isn’t some sketchy third-party accessory either: it’s from Anker, a…

It might have escaped lay people at the time, but for some observers the ascension of Leo XIV as head of the Catholic Church this year was a reminder that the last time a Pope Leo sat in St. Peter’s Chair in the Vatican, from 1878 to 1903, the modern view of infinity was born. Georg Cantor’s completely original “naïve” set theory caused both revolution and revolt in mathematical circles, with some embracing his ideas and others rejecting them.Cantor was deeply disappointed with the negative reactions, of course, but never with his own ideas. Why? Because he held firm to…
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a computer simulation. An international team of mathematicians says that they have once-and-for-all determined that our reality is, in fact, real. According to some of the latest mindbending quantum theories combined with centuries’ old mathematical theorems, their study published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics states the popular simulation theory is more than improbable—it’s fundamentally impossible. What is the ‘Simulation Hypothesis?’ The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer…
It can be challenging for us humans to wrap our brains around really massive numbers. Even the scale of a million or billion is pretty hard for most people to really comprehend. So prepare yourself to think big, because scientists have recorded the largest and most distant black hole flare to date, and the numbers around it are pretty staggering.The event occurred at an active galactic nucleus, also known as an accreting or feeding black hole, that they predict is 500 million times more massive than our sun and is located 10 billion light years away. The researchers suspect that…

As much as any city, Seattle is synonymous with the tech industry. Over the past 40 years, Seattle and its suburbs have seen hometown heroes like Microsoft and Amazon grow into some of the biggest businesses on the planet. Around them has sprung up a diverse network of companies whose work touches nearly every aspect of public life, from Redfin to Costco to Wizards of the Coast, to name a few.Tech culture has seemingly permeated nearly every aspect of city life here—a fact about which some local Mossbacks grumble—and it has transformed certain neighborhoods entirely over the past few decades.…
