At last, we have a new iPhone SE, except it’s not called the SE anymore. Apple has incorporated its latest fourth gen SE phone into the iPhone 16 lineup as the iPhone 16e. The name change is a smart one—with SE sales struggling to keep up with its flagship stablemates, slapping “iPhone 16” (in this case) onto the moniker may help boost the mid-budget phone’s cachet in the eyes of potential buyers. Retailing at $600

Ooof, talk about a gut-punching let-me-double-check-my-credit-score price—Huawei’s global version of the Mate XT tri-folding smartphone has been announced and it looks like folks will need to fork up a lung and a kidney just for the bragging rights. At about $3,300, the phone is being sold outside of China for the first time (minus the U.S. of course, thank you trade sanctions). It’s too early to tell how well the Mate XT will contribute to

Somewhat late to the party, Nikon has finally introduced a video-first power zoom lens to the Z-mount catalog. For Nikon and RED (particularly KOMODO-X Z Mount) fans, the new Nikkor Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens sports some impressive specs, bringing industry-standard features combined with Nikon optical science which, especially recently, is a good thing. At $2,600 it’s not for everyone, although it is competitively priced against those from Fuji and Sony. Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z 28-135mm

Apple might be announcing the next iPhone SE much earlier than expected. How does next week sound to you? Will it sell like hot cakes? Can we make a mid-range iPhone relevant again? These could be some of the questions Apple executives and bean counters are asking as they try to snag a larger share of the ultra-competitive mid-range smartphone market. In short, the new iPhone SE has a lot of work cut out for

An eBay seller and collector wants to sell one of the handful of Nintendo GameCube “announcement models” still in existence. This particular unit was one of the few announcement units at the Space World 2000 product premiere, which makes this piece of gaming console history quite special. We just don’t think it’s $100,000 special, especially when taking into account that the unit up for auction isn’t operational. So yes, it’s a $100k paperweight.  Donny Fillerup

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of weeks, news of President Donald Trump‘s import tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada shouldn’t come as a surprise. With Trump finally signing executive orders on Saturday under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the heavy tariffs (up to 25%) are expected to go into effect tomorrow. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that this will have significant repercussions on the costs

Ford Performance has unveiled two new crate motors for your next project car: one is the supercharged 7.3-liter 1,000+ horsepower Megazilla 2.0 V8, while the other is the supercharged 5.0-liter 810 hp Coyote V8. One is completely street legal and even comes with a two-year warranty; unfortunately it’s not the Megazilla—that’s for off-road and competitive use only. Party poopers. Shoehorning engines for a car mod is rather pointless if the engine itself isn’t anything special.

Yes, there’s a chance that a recently spotted asteroid named 2024 YR4 could strike Earth in 2032, but experts are deeming the 196-foot wide small-body a low 1-in-83 strike risk, although others believe the closeness of the approach path to our planet in eight years still warrants some due caution. Still, we’re usually curious about the what-ifs, so let’s talk about that a bit. First identified by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in

If the pictures and video below are any (true) indicators, the upcoming iPhone SE 4 will retain the previous generation’s simple back cover while gaining build and materials that nearly matches its pricier siblings. Eagle eyed viewers will also notice the inclusion of a notch in the front for the camera and sensors, instead of Dynamic Islands in newer Apple devices. Popular leakster Majin Bu posted a video of a device claiming to be a

About a week ago, a sheriff’s office in Chelan County, Washington, received an SOS alert via satellite. The notification came from an Apple Watch belonging to a backcountry skier and alert data indicated that the skier had fallen 1,000 feet near Steven’s Pass Ski Area and that the person sustained a leg injury. Upon arrival, the air rescue team got slightly more than they bargained for, but thanks to their professionalism, all parties made it
