While the bulk of Apple’s revenue still comes from the iPhone, revenue derived from the company’s suite of services and its burgeoning wearables division has increased dramatically over the past few years. Put simply, Apple has done an impressive job of diversifying its revenue stream so that its success from quarter to quarter no longer hinges exclusively on how quickly consumers flock to new iPhone models.

As it stands now, Apple’s wearables division — which includes the Apple Watch, Beats, and AirPods — accounts for about 10% of Apple’s quarterly revenue. That figure, though, is poised to increase dramatically as Apple Watch and AirPods sales are growing at a tremendous, if not unprecedented, clip.

NASA Space Launch System, the rocket system that will eventually provide the means for the space agency to send spacecraft and astronauts to the Moon, is a very big deal. The project has been in the works for a long time, and now that it’s finally starting to come together, NASA wants to make sure it’s ready for its time in the spotlight.

With that in mind, NASA recently put a version of the SLS liquid hydrogen fuel tank to the ultimate test, pushing it far beyond its designed limits. The test ultimately resulted in the failure of the tank, but that’s exactly what NASA says it was going for.

$%name Google will roll out helpful new features for the Pixel in a regular ‘Feature Drop’ by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Google’s Pixel phones get updates and new features much faster than other Android handsets thanks to them being a product of Google itself, which is something on Monday Google announced it’s going to start doubling down on in the form of a new regular “Feature Drop.” It’s a collection of new features for Pixel phones which will arrive on a regular basis as a complement to the normal monthly updates, and the first such “drop” is on the way this month — bringing with it new photo controls, better robocall-blocking via automatic call screening and much more.

In a Google blog post today, Group Product Manager Shenaz Zack said the new features will hit Pixel devices in the coming weeks — and to get the new features, all you have to do is make sure you’re running the latest version of Android and visit the Play Store to download the updated apps.

New photos of Tesla’s Cybertruck out in the wild help illustrate just how imposing Tesla’s all-electric pickup truck truly is. While the Cybertruck certainly looked gargantuan when it was unveiled last month, seeing it on the road and next to other vehicles provides us with a much better perspective of its size.

There haven’t been many Cybertruck sightings to date, with the first one being a short video of a Cybertruck quickly driving down a California street next to SpaceX’s headquarters. Most recently, Twitter user Cody Simms posted a photo of Tesla’s Cybertruck when he spotted one stopped at a red light close to Los Angeles International Airport.

$%name PS5 isn’t even here, but there are already hints of a PS5 Pro by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The PlayStation 5 is one of the stars of the year when it comes to leaks, with Microsoft already losing a huge marketing battle to Sony — the PS5’s name is already official, making it a lot easier to stay on top of the news.

Both devices will feature nearly identical specs, including processor, graphics card, and storage, and each platform will try to lure in fans with a few unique perks. Microsoft, recent reports said, might have two Xbox Scarlett versions in stores next winter, including a more affordable model. Sony isn’t expected to go down the same route, but the company is supposedly planning a PS5 Pro release already.

Report: Apple may release six different iPhone 12 models in 2020

$%name Report: Apple may release six different iPhone 12 models in 2020 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Purchasing a new iPhone is far more complicated than it used to be. Back in the day, Apple would release a single new model and users simply had to decide what color they liked and how much storage they wanted. Over time, though, the number of iPhone options to choose from has ballooned. This year, for example, Apple released three new iPhone models with the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Max.

Looking ahead to next year, Apple’s iPhone 12 lineup may be the most expansive we’ve seen yet. According to a new research report from Rosenblatt analyst Jun Zhang (via AppleInsider), Apple next year might release six distinct iPhone 12 models. Zhang’s report is at odds with previous iPhone 12 rumors we’ve seen, but seeing as we’re still a good nine months away from the official iPhone 12 release, it’s too early to make a call in either direction.

$%name You can finally order Apple’s $5,999 next gen Mac Pro on Tuesday by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

When Apple unveiled the new Mac Pro at WWDC 2019 earlier this year, we called it at the time the version of this computer that we’ve long been waiting for.

Power users immediately got enthused about features like the Intel Xeon processor that goes all the way up to 28 cores, as well as the “massive heatsink” that will help deal with extra power needs — not to mention additional specs like up to 1.5TB of RAM, 8 internal PCI slots, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It’s the first major update this computer got in six years, costs $5,999 for the computer separate from the 32-inch retina LCD display — and, after being years in the making, orders for the device finally begin on Tuesday.
