Apple News+ has issues, but it’s a great deal for casual readers

[ad_1] I had liked iOS’s Newsstand before that went away, so I was interested to see if Apple News+ would offer a better experience. Importantly, I wondered if subscribing to News+ would lead me to cancelling my existing magazine subscriptions. After trying it out for a few hours, my answer is… not really. Yet, I’ll […]

Huawei’s new wireless headphones plug into your phone to charge

[ad_1] First up, they’re not truly wireless — Huawei launched the AirPod-baiting FreePods last year, and… we didn’t hear anything about them after that.

[ad_1] A historic spacewalk was scheduled to occur this week, with only women operating outside the ISS for the first time ever.

Sony’s premium RX0 II action cam has a flip-up screen and eye AF

[ad_1] You can even use the screen underwater: the device is waterproof up to 33 feet, is tough enough to survive being crushed with 400 pounds of force and can withstand the impact of a drop up to 6.5 feet. That selfie-friendly screen is bolstered by Sony’s Eye AF that locks onto the eyes of […]
