No one wants to think about this, but even a robust, water-resistant device like the spanking new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus can sometimes break. If that happens, God forbid, the AppleCare+ protection plan will save you a lot of hassle and, possibly, quite a bit of money, extending your standard one-year limited warranty with an additional 12 months.For a flat admission fee of $129 ($99, as far as the iPhone SE is ...

There’s another Snapdragon 820 device from HTC just beginning to make the rounds on GFXBench. We already think that the Nexus devices will get Android 7.1 before they launch, though.So, what’s this thing with Android 6.0.1? Perhaps the Desire 10 Pro?

The company providing the demo was GT Advanced Technologies, and the screen was made of a material you’ve probably heard of, but in other contexts: sapphire. In an industry where hardware is fast becoming the differentiator of choice, “sapphire” is the new buzzword for legions of excitement-seeking tech fans. We’re going to take ...
