Last month we saw the iPhone XS Max beat out Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 in a relay race-style speed test. Today, we’re getting a look at a battery comparison test between the two flagship smartphones and the Note 9 has really outperformed the XS Max battery life. PhoneBuff showed off a cool new robotic arm-based system with its last speed test and the YouTuber is making use of the same precise approach with this new Note 9 vs....

Microsoft Flight Simulator is finally making a comeback after 14 years, and this is a launch that many were eager for. The trailers and the build-up all add up to its hype as one of the most realistic games of the current time. You get to see what’s flying an aircraft is like, and the interface can’t get more real than this. In the game, we get a total of 30 aircraft to fly in and around 40 Airports around the globe....

Not the best looking pie chart—especially for Samsung. Apple’s iPhone 5, at just three weeks old, is apparently experiencing more Web traffic than its three-month-old arch nemesis Samsung Galaxy S III. The latest report from research firm Chitika depicts the iPhone 5 as gobbling up 56 percent of Web traffic volume, compared to the S III’s 44 percent, in just 18 days since it officially released. Chitika attributed the sudden growth to record-breaking sales numbers and 4G speeds:...

Popular YouTuber MKBHD put together a huge blind smartphone camera test with 16 popular devices. After getting six million votes from users on Twitter and Instagram, the results are in, and surprisingly both iPhone X and XS were knocked out in the first round. Instead of excluding some solid smartphones and doing a smaller scale blind test, MKBHD decided to do a big 16 device smartphone camera showdown. The first round featured:...

Warning: This article contains spoilers to The Irishman At an astonishing 210-minute run from start to finish, finding time for Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman is no easy task – converting the film into a 4-part miniseries, however, is much more manageable. This towering epic, spanning six decades from the grips of World War II all the way to the new Millennium, is a return to form for the Mean Streets and Goodfellas auteur....

The decision taken by the US and UK governments to ban laptops and tablets from hand baggage on some flights was in part prompted by a plot to use a fake iPad as a bomb, reports the Guardian. The ban – affecting flights to and from a number of predominantly Middle Eastern and North African countries – came into effect over the weekend. The US Department of Homeland Security had previously said it was the result of terrorists seeking ‘innovative methods’ to attack planes, and it has now been revealed that the iPad plot was one of these …...

Apple today officially took the wraps off of its latest iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max. In addition to features such as a larger display, Apple says the iPhone Xs features faster Face ID authentication support. Details are sparse on how much faster Face ID is on the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max compared to the iPhone X. Phil Schiller attributed the faster Face ID performance to faster algorithms and a faster secure enclave....

Next month, the final member of The Defenders will debut when Iron Fist premieres on Netflix. The master of martial arts will up the ante on the second season of Daredevil by introducing one of Marvel’s most mystical characters yet. While there’s no word on how much mysticism (and dragons) will play into the series, the most recent trailer proves that kung fu will certainly be a priority. Since that time, we’ve seen a clip of supporting character Colleen Wing in a cage match, gone behind the scenes of the show, and were treated to a promo teasing Danny Rand’s many sides....

“I’m looking at it. They have auto insurance, workers’ comp, property insurance… but they have all this data, and all this exposure,” noted Haase of his forward-looking product, “There wasn’t really a good methodology for loss control, loss prevention.” And now today, over 20 years later, what Haase then referred to as “Internet Security Liability Policy” is known as cyber insurance. So just how well is this relatively new insurance product doing as it enters its more formative years?...

The iPad was rated by consumers as the best tablet for the second time running in the JD Power customer satisfaction survey, with no competitor tablet rated above About average.

Have you just got a new iPhone for Christmas? Upgraded from an older iPhone to a new colorful iPhone 11, with its new camera system and upgraded battery life? You may notice that although the iPhone battery life is significantly improved, it takes even longer to charge than your old phone. A fast charger makes a big difference … The iPhone 11 comes with a paltry Apple 5W charger in the box....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Logan - Comic book-style continuity can be a bizarre thing, which is why very few movie franchises (even those adapted from comics in the first place) bothered to attempt it prior to the establishment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, some of the most bizarre continuity experiments have taken place in franchises belonging to other genres entirely: The Highlander series had to retcon away a new backstory conceived for its poorly-received second installment, Terminator Genisys rebooted and remixed its own timeline, and even the Child’s Play franchise set its third episode in the then-future (which then became the “real” present when Part 4 took almost a decade to arrive)....

There’s been some mystery around the devices that will actually work with Apple’s new Pro Display XDR. Now we’ve got confirmation that the iPad Pro will indeed work with the new professional monitor. Last week we learned that even though Apple doesn’t list the iMac Pro as being compatible with the Pro Display XDR, it does work, just at 5K instead of 6K. MacStories’ founder Federico Viticci brought up the question if the iPad Pro would work as well to Jonathan Morrison....

Rumors suggest that Apple will likely add under-display Touch ID on iPhone 13. At the same time, with the Apple Watch unlock feature on iOS 14.5, the company points to another year with only Face ID biometric authentication. Here’s what we know so far. Barclays analysts, Bloomberg, and Wall Street Journal have published in the past few months that Apple is testing or is likely to add under-display Touch ID on iPhone 13....

Netflix’s first hit of 2017 is unequivocally the madcap (and miserable) TV show A Series of Unfortunate Events. Bringing the Lemony Snicket book series to screen with extreme confidence, it captures the wry idiosyncratic nature in every aspect of its filmmaking, from its visual style – a mash-up of 1990s Tim Burton and Wes Anderson with sprinklings of pantomime – to the layered teleplay from author Daniel Handler (who wrote the books under the Snicket name)....
