Wireless simplicity

Apple AirPods (Second-generation)

Staff Favorite

No matter which Apple product you own, you should probably have a pair of AirPods. They’re great, the pairing process is simple, and once paired with one device, they’re automatically paired with all of your devices that are signed in to your iCloud account. The sound is pretty good, too, and the built-in microphones make placing calls or issuing Siri commands crystal clear.

The iPhone 7 is an incredible piece of tech to have in your pocket on a day-to-day basis, so keeping it protected, scratch-free, and, most importantly, stylish! While there are thousands of different cases available, some are better than others. Here are our favorites cases for the iPhone 7.

Clear with a kickstand

Spigen Ultra Hybrid S

Staff Pick

Spigen makes excellent phone cases. I’ve tested them extensively with a bunch of different phones, and the same is true every time. They fit well, they feel great, and they work. This model has a kickstand with a magnetic latch that pops open when you want to use it and closes securely when you don’t.

Microsoft will begin rolling the game out to Android and iOS devices in October, country by country, to be global by the end of 2019.

Minecraft Earth is an upcoming game from Microsoft and Mojang, bringing the blocky create ’em up to augmented reality for Android and iOS devices. Microsoft has been testing the game in closed beta in a few countries around the world, but as revealed today during Minecon 2019, the game will begin a global public preview in October.

Up until now, Minecraft Earth has been pretty limited in terms of features. Only ”tappable” blocks around the world map and augmented reality building have been available. With the rollout of the public preview, Microsoft will begin including more of the features Minecraft is known for, namely crafting and adventure experiences.

You will be able to find tools such as mining picks, axes, and so on via tappables on the world map. You’ll also be able to craft them using the new crafting section that will open up in t…

The iPhone 8, the end of the original design era, at the end of 2019. If you’d bought one when it launched two years ago and were asking me if you were still good to keep going with it today, and for another year or two, I’d say sure.

With Apple’s typical build quality, the headroom designed into its A11 Bionic chipset, and the constant software updates it’s both gotten and will keep getting for some time to come, I’d say absolutely.

But buying an iPhone 8 new, now, and in the age of iPhone 11? But starting at $449?

iPhone 8 in 2019 review: Design

The iPhone 8 still comes in two sizes, regular and Plus, with a 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch LCD Retina display. And it still looks every bit like an iPhone, of course. Apple has this habit of making new phones look like old phones. Even when they rebuild the phones at the atomic level, developing whole new formulations of existing materials, like they did from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6s, or when the switch those materials completely, like going f…

The iPhone 11 has launched. It’s here. And while I was at the launch at Apple’s brand new, redesigned, reimagined, 2.0 version of the 5th Ave. Store, I started thinking about, if I was there… if I was lined up, if I was looking over all the choices… not just one iPhone and only one iPhone any more, but a range of choices and options and colors… which would I get?
And, maybe even more importantly, a day from now, a week from now, if I’d kept my old iPhone for as long as I could, and I needed or just wanted a new one, if I was just walking into any store, or even shopping online, which iPhone would I want for the next year or several?

If that’s what you’re thinking, don’t worry. I got you.

How to pick your next iPhone

If you just want a modern iPhone you can do pretty much everything with, then you have the new iPhone for everyone, the new baseline, the new 6.1-inch iPhone 11 starting at $699.
If that’s still just a little rich for your blood, even with trade-…
