After months of countless leaks and rumors, it was starting to feel like this day might never actually come. Believe it or not, however, it’s finally here: Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are finally official. No more specs leaks, no more renders, no more spy shots on Weibo, no more dummy models being compared to rival smartphones, and no more guessing. Samsung on Wednesday finally took the wraps off of its next-generation Galaxy S flagship phones.

We spent some time with the new Galaxy

Apple announced a red iPhone 7

Apple just added a brand new iPhone 7 model to its lineup

In a move that isn’t entirely unexpected but is still somewhat shocking considering that the company is typically a creature of habit, Apple on Tuesday morning added new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models to its smartphone lineup.

The Apple store was taken offline early on Tuesday morning, as we all expected. Apple warned on its system status website that the store would be taken offline beginning around

This is our best look yet at Samsung’s jet black Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+

When Apple’s new Jet Black finish quickly became the most talked-about and sought-after color for Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, it became fairly apparent that Samsung would eventually ape it. Well, as it turned out, Samsung didn’t take very long at all to follow Apple’s lead; the company released a Jet Black version — excuse us, “Black Pearl” version — of its Galaxy S7 in

Everyone seems genuinely excited about the larger iPhone 6 since Apple’s announcement last week. But I have to ask, why exactly is there an iPhone 6 Plus again? For years, Apple has sworn off phablets. Its CEOs and executives have publicly insulted them and it made claims that human hands aren’t built for them. But now, without explanation, Apple is an unapologetic phablet manufacturer.

It isn’t bad that Apple’s making phablets, but it is a sign that the company is willing to sacrif

APPLE IPHONE 6 PLUS REVIEW

Beautiful design (wish it was waterproof)

Year in and year out, the iPhone is always the best-looking, best-built phone available. Nothing has changed with the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. Aside from the HTC One M8, nothing out there comes close to its design quality.

Notable design features:

  • An insanely thin 7.1mm body (the thinness should help if you use a case)
  • A brushed-aluminum frame (silver, black, or champagne “gold” available)
  • Less plastic than last year around the top and bottom

Apple iPhone 6 hands on

After squirming through 1,000 of my closest friends and a battery of Apple reps to the iPhone 6 demonstration models on display after Tuesday’s unveiling, I was disappointed.

I thought they were fakes, with printed plastic screens simulating the iPhone experience until working units could be cobbled together. I confess, I was fooled.

The new screens are real, and they’re spectacular.

It’s not just the larger bodies on the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus that will impress iFans, nor the slew
