One of the signature features of iOS 13 is Dark Mode, and as a major proponent of dark modes, I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to dim most of the apps on my phone after the sun sets. But it turns out that Dark Mode is more than just a visual upgrade — it could also extend the battery life of your iPhone substantially.

In order to prove this, YouTuber PhoneBuff performed an experiment with the iPhone XS Max to see whether or not turning on Dark Mode would actually have a noticeable impact on battery life, especially on an iPhone with an OLED display, where every pixel is powered on its own and black pixels are inactive.

Ahead of its publication in November, Barnes and Noble is currently offering a hardcover edition of author James Patterson’s newest title Criss Cross for preorder, at $20.30. I would spend at least that much money if I decided to go to the movies by myself tonight, buy some concessions and a ticket to, say, Joker. It costs me around $20 or so to fill up my car about halfway with gas — I could go on and on. My point is this:

It feels amazing to me that I could buy an airline ticket today, if I wanted, that costs roughly the same amount as those things. Frontier Airlines is currently offering discounted fares as part of one of the most ridiculously low-priced sales I’ve ever seen. For a measly $20, you could buy a one-way fare to a number of cities, such as from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. The main catch with this promotion? It ends today.

Apple’s rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro is slated to launch by the end of October, according to a new report from Digitimes. The report adds that Apple’s next-gen MacBook Pro will boast thinner bezels than on current models and will incorporate next-gen chips from Intel.

Though the publication has something of a mixed track record when it comes to Apple rumors, we’ve seen enough reports from more credible sources over the past few weeks as to make the Digitimes report quite plausible.

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold hasn’t exactly set the smartphone world on fire, with the company reportedly on track to have sold around 500,000 or so of the much-maligned device by the end of this year. Nevertheless, Samsung has decided to go pedal to the metal when it comes to the company’s ambitions around foldable handsets, with Samsung reportedly planning to ramp up those efforts to try and sell 6 million foldables in 2020 — a 12-fold increase (no pun intended).

Well, after months of quite assertive posturing from Huawei — that it could survive the ban from the Trump administration, thank you very much, and that it also has a Plan B for losing access to Android — the world’s #2 smartphone manufacturer seems to be changing its tune. In a new interview with The Financial Times, a senior executive with the company seems to finally come around to what we expected all along:

Namely, that any viable replacement the company could use in place of the Android mobile OS won’t be ready for a while — perhaps years.

To an outsider, Florida might seem like a lovely place. There’s a seemingly endless number of lovely beaches and near-tropical weather for a good chunk of the year, not to mention all the great parks and attractions to take in. That’s the Florida that they want you to see. The reality is a lot closer to this disturbing clip that is making the rounds on Twitter.

The video, posted by one Evangeline Cummings, is gruesome and strange and pretty much perfect. It shows a coral snake doing its best to feast on a fellow reptile while the two hang perilously from a branch. Oh, and a wasp is also attacking the snake, because Florida.

The iPhone changed the smartphone industry forever, effectively killing every company that could not pivot. The world’s biggest phone brands at the time like Nokia, Palm, Microsoft, and RIM/BlackBerry all had to throw in the towel. Only Google was quick enough to adapt Android from a BlackBerry alternative to an iPhone rival, and some of the smartphone vendors who went for it thrived. Samsung and Huawei are both Android success stories, as is OnePlus. But none of them, least of all Google, could come up with a real “iPhone killer,” a device that would revolutionize the mobile industry again.

It turns out that Apple may be working on a device that could end up spelling the end of the iPhone as we know it in the future, and the first-gen device might be released as soon as 2020.
