In what can easily be described as a monster earnings surprise, Tesla yesterday posted a quarterly profit to the tune of $1.91 per share. In the build-up to Tesla’s earnings report, analysts were anticipating the EV company to post a loss in the range of $0.24 per share. Naturally, shares of Tesla quickly skyrocketed and are currently up by nearly 44 points in trading today.

During Tesla’s accompanying earnings conference call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk touched on a number of topics, including some interesting details regarding the company’s plan to roll out the Tesla Semi and a brand new pickup truck. Of particular interest, though, were Musk’s remarks regarding an impending over-the-air software update that will improve performance across all Tesla models.

When scientists studying Mars discovered a massive landslide on the Red Planet they thought it looked familiar. The cascading material had carved long, curved ridges, and the area was eerily similar to some landslides that have been observed here on Earth. What made that comparison particularly exciting was the fact that on Earth, landslides like this are often associated with the presence of ice beneath the ground.

This, researchers believed, was a clue that something similar may have happened on Mars some 400 million years ago when the landslide is thought to have occurred. Since ice means water, and water means the potential for life, it was a tantalizing idea. Unfortunately, a new investigation suggests that ice and water may not have played a role after all.

As a matter of practice, and to prevent an onslaught of frivolous lawsuits, Apple routinely patents every single new product and technology its engineers come up with. And though most Apple patents do not result in a shipping product, that’s not always the case. Indeed, there have been a few instances in the past where an Apple patent has provided us with concrete information regarding an unreleased product or upcoming feature on an existing product.

Having said that, the most intriguing Apple rumor of late centers on the Cupertino-based company rolling out a pair of AR glasses. To this end, Apple recently filed a patent application which covers a head-mounted device with a transparent display. And while a head-mounted device could quite literally be any number of things, the entirety of the patent tends to point to something similar in design to a pair of glasses with transition lenses.

A series of recent leaks claim that Apple is readying the launch of a third-gen AirPods model that will deliver a brand new design, as well as a few new features. We’ve been referring to them as AirPods 3, even though Apple never actually used AirPods 2 to designate the product refresh earlier this year. But the new wireless earphones might be sold under the AirPods Pro moniker, according to a recent report. A brand new leak, meanwhile, seems to confirm previous rumors that said the new AirPods will indeed feature a brand new design.

At $6.99/month, the new Disney+ streaming service costs almost half the price of the Netflix plan I’m currently subscribed to. Even so, Disney’s streamer is still undercut by at least one other new addition to the Streaming Wars — the Apple TV+ service that Apple will launch on November 1 for only $4.99/month.

Disney CEO Bob Iger addressed that very issue during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. His response: Disney’s not bothered by all the competition, including Apple’s undercutting of Disney’s already low price.

The news comes just a few days after Samsung opened the Android 10 beta for the Galaxy S10, which is going to be the first Samsung phone to receive Google’s latest update.

After about two years of relatively stagnant iPhone sales, there’s reason to believe that Apple might see some sales growth thanks to the popularity of the company’s new iPhone 11 lineup. And though we won’t know for sure — thanks to Apple’s recent decision to no longer disclose quarterly iPhone sales — there’s mounting evidence that consumers are really flocking to the iPhone 11.

According to a new research report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), Apple’s iPhone 11 models — a lineup which includes the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max — accounted for 20% of all new iPhone sales during the September quarter. That may not seem impressive at first glance, but bear in mind that the iPhone 11 was only available for two weeks during the quarter.

The Chinese electronics brand TCL is an acronym that stands for “The Creative Life,” and the company is nothing if not creative and supremely ambitious when it comes to smartphone design. Case in point is this prototype design for an all-new foldable smartphone that arguably puts Samsung’s Galaxy Fold to shame, in a way, while still managing to look a little ridiculous. When it’s unfolded, but not completely opened up to show off the beast of a 10-inch display, it almost looks like the taco holder that comes with my regular dish at the Mexican restaurant around the corner from my apartment.
