It costs Apple about a third as much to make an iPhone 7 as it charges you
The cheapest iPhone 7 retails for $649, but new research suggests it costs Apple roughly $225 to build one. Market research firm IHS Markit recently took apart the iPhone 7 to price out all of the individual parts that go into building the phone. According to its analysts’ research, those parts likely cost Apple about $220 to purchase, and about $5 to assemble. That means Apple’s newest phone only costs about a third of its price-tag, to make. That’s actually far more expensive than the last i..>> view originaliPad Air 3 Release Date, Specs & Rumors: The New Tablet Likely To Be Unveiled In First Quarter Of 2017?
The recently concluded iPhone 7 unveiling event didn't quite turn out to be what avid Apple fans were anticipating it to be. While the Cupertino based tech firm unveiled the highly anticipated iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2, the company remained mum regarding its line of tablet flagships, particularly the equally anticipated, iPad 3. That being said, optimistic fans hazard a guess that since Apple iPad 3 was a no-show during the iPhone 7 unveiling event that took place on September 7, the next like..>> view originalTen-Mile-Wide Killer Asteroid Headed For Earth, And It's Not The Only One
News of a 10-mile-wide killer asteroid hurtling toward Earth burned up the internet this week after a Chinese astronomer announced that the massive space rock could potentially impact the planet with enough force to cause an extinction event. But there is worse news: Although asteroid 2009ES, the designation of the aforementioned killer asteroid, is currently predicted to make a near-miss pass by the Earth, there are other killer asteroids hurtling through space with the potential to become imp..>> view originalNew high resolution images reveal Mercury is tectonically active
NEW IMAGES FROM NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft have revealed previously undetected fault scarps – cliff-like landforms – on Mercury that are small enough to suggest the planet is geologically young. Published in Nature Geoscience, the new NASA findings suggests that Mercury is still contracting, and that Earth is not the only tectonically active planet in our Solar System, as previously thought. “The young age of the small scarps means that Mercury joins Earth as a tectonically active planet, with..>> view originalApple's big plan for HealthKit would put all your medical data in one spot
If you live in America and you’ve seen more than one doctor in your lifetime, you know there’s no central database where all of your medical data lives. Instead, each health care provider has a separate record, and rarely are they ever merged. Apple is reportedly working on electronic health record software that will take advantage of all the data collected from HealthKit apps and use it in more meaningful ways—like to diagose medical conditions—and create a centralized place for all that in..>> view originalWho will buy Twitter? The potential bidders, from Google to Disney
But an acquisition might be held back by the companies' sizes. With a market valuation of $45bn (which has fallen in recent days as investors voice their disapproval of a potential deal), buying Twitter would be more like a merger for Salesforce, and a risky bet on such a deal paying off. It’s unclear if the benefits of a tie-up would be worth it. Then again, Benioff has been willing to take such risks before. He wanted to buy LinkedIn before Microsoft swooped in with its $26.2bn offer in June...>> view originalAustralian Scientists Just Froze Light (Like Kylo Ren)
Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have brought quantum computing a step closer to reality by stopping light in a new experiment. Lead researcher Jesse Everett said controlling the movement of light was critical to developing future quantum computers, which could solve problems too complex for today’s most advanced computers.

Fitbit trackers are famous for the gamification of step data to help motivate users to exercise more, but the company's latest model, the Charge 2 wristband, actually does a whole lot more than just track steps. What you also get is a device that can measure your heat rate (resting and active), tell you how many flights of stairs you've climbed, how far you've travelled (based on your height and step count), and even train you to breathe deeply through a built-in relaxation mode.
