Bloomberg is now reporting that Tesla has received more than 325,000 reservations for the Model 3, which is obviously fantastic news for the upstart car company. There’s a downside, however: Right now, it doesn’t have close to the production capabilities to handle this amazing demand. That doesn’t mean you should hold off on reserving the car because Tesla now says that it’s “increasing our production plans to minimize the wait for Model 3.”

Don’t get too excited just yet, but a future version of iOS might finally grant loyal iPhone users a wish that they’ve had for years: The ability to hide the default Apple apps that end up in a forsaken folder on one of the phone’s screens.
That’s right, there’s palpable evidence that Apple might let us hide apps in the future, including Tips and Stocks, and whatever other default iOS apps you’ve replaced with better alternatives.

Whichever version of the new Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge you purchase, you’re getting an amazing smartphone. The new S7 and S7 edge feature best-in-class performance, a display that will knock your socks off, the best smartphone camera in the business, and a design and build quality that are outstanding. Oh, how I wish I could ditch my iPhone and switch to a Galaxy S7 myself. But alas…
If you’re not chained to iOS like I am, the Galaxy S7 or S7 edge are definitely the way to go right now. But as it turns out, not all models are created equal. If you buy an S7 from your carrier or from a big retailer like Best Buy, you’re getting the model that’s slower and has worse battery life.

Apple announced an exciting partnership last year with French fashion company Hermès for the Apple Watch. But while I was initially thrilled to see the new Watch bands options, I soon realized that you’d have to buy a brand new Watch to get them.

They also might just be the hottest Apple Watch bands ever.

Instead of saving your money or putting it to work for you using one of the life-changing apps we told you about recently, you should give it to AT&T because, well, just because.
The nation’s second largest carrier saw an opening earlier this week when Verizon’s new smartphone upgrade fee went live. So, beginning immediately, AT&T will charge users a bogus $20 fee to upgrade to a new phone instead of the bogus $15 fee it had been charging.

Rogue One is this year’s new Star Wars movie. It’s not part of the new trilogy because it’s a “Star Wars Story” instead. Disney is looking to broaden the Star Wars universe by releasing additional stories focusing on certain events and characters related to the trilogy, but that don’t fit into the main movies.
Rogue One tells the story of a band of rebels looking to steal the plans of the Empire’s secret weapon, the Death Star, and now the film’s first trailer has been released.

The device has a number of hot selling points, but expansion is definitely at the top of the list. The modular design allows users to connect different accessories directly to the phone, and a team of companion devices — or “friends” — furthers the experience.
Since virtual reality is so hot right now, you can imagine that several of the G5’s available expansion devices focus on VR. Well guess what: You can now preorder the special LG G5 VR bundle and save $300 in the process.

The FBI withdrew its assault on iPhone encryption after it managed to hack its way into the San Bernardino iPhone. Soon after that, the agency notified other law enforcement officials across the country that it’ll try and help out unlock other iPhones from various criminal investigations.
The FBI is yet to tell Apple how it performed the hack, but the Bureau does talk about it with senators. In the meantime, the FBI confirmed that while it may be able to hack some iPhones, the iPhone 6s is impenetrable for the time being.
