    News iPhone 16 Pro — all the rumors so far

    Why is it that Apple doesn't list recent Android phones for trade-in? I wanted to switch last year, and again this year, but I'm not giving up $699 trade-in plus a $200 store credit (which I'm putting towards a watch) from Google to get absolutely ZERO from Apple. I'd also lose the $220 trade-in...

    Google's Pixel 9 Pro XL has finally convinced me to ditch my Samsung phone — here's why

    My reasons for upgrading from my Pixel 8 Pro to the 9 Pro were pretty simple. The smaller size that still includes the pro features The $699 trade in for my 8 Pro (Apple and Samsung offered something in the $400-500 range) The MUCH longer battery life

    The Kia EV3 could be the one car to convince me to buy an EV — here’s why

    I don't know where you got that extra $6000 off, but I'm guessing that it's a state thing. Maybe don't assume that everyone lives where you do and can get the same local or state benefits as you. I'm sure not moving across the country to save $6000 on a Tesla.

    Review Google Pixel 8 Pro hands-on: A truly pro camera, weird temperature sensor

    I have a Pixel 7 Pro and the first Pixel Watch. I didn't see anything meaningful to me on the 8 Pro, but as a long time Fitbit user I was very interested when I saw what the Pixel Watch 2 was offering, though not enough to pay $350 (or even $200 with trade in). When I saw that it came free with...

    Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus — seriously, who needs this?

    "With more of us relying on phones as our primary device..." This is exactly why I prefer phones with large screens, as long as they comfortably fit in my front pocket. I don't own a tablet, I never have, and I see no reason to. Everything I want to do with tech is either on my phone that is...

    Drop everything — this 65-inch LG OLED is 50% off in epic Black Friday TV deal

    Oh well, I guess you have to really be on top of these things. The big downer of Black Friday sales is that they ruin other sales for me. Knowing that the 65" was offered for $1196, I can't bring myself to buy the 55" for $1289. No matter how good that second deal might be, I'm not paying $93...

    Google Pixel 6a beats the Nothing Phone (1) in every way — except one

    Seems kind of like BEVs. For some people the battery life will perfectly suit how they use it. For me the 6a is not an option. As much as I like everything else about it (price, features, size), battery life is the most important thing for how and when I use my phone. The Pixel 6 wasn't enough...

    Mother's Day deal at Verizon — score a free iPhone 13 or iPhone SE

    So misleading. It's bad enough that Verizon uses these marketing gimmicks, but for a "news site" to perpetuate their garbage is even worse. You only get a "free phone" if you finance the purchase of the phone over 36 months, assuming you even qualify. What you actually get is up to $800 in...
