The deal allows Netflix to stream the F1 Canadian Grand Prix in May, along with Apple TV. On the flipside, Apple TV and Netflix will both air season eight of the docuseries Drive to Survive. The Netflix-created series spotlights various F1 drivers and their teams.

Social community platform Discord is preparing to require users to verify their age by the second half of 2026, and users are concerned about the privacy of uploading a government ID or face scan to the network. While users can still access most features without verification, many remain uneasy giving more information to a company that suffered a breach last year that exposed the IDs of around 70,000 users. 

Your iPhone is the ultimate memory machine, but it's 2026 and "Storage Full" alerts shouldn't be a regular part of your life. Whether you're recording 4K video of a weekend getaway or snapping thousands of pet photos, that "plenty of space" your phone started with eventually gets choked out by high-res files, unused apps and ghost data from your downloads. You shouldn't have to play a game of "which memory do I delete" just to make room for one more app update.

There's no denying the quality of QLED and OLED TVs, but they're also much more expensive than LED back panels. If you care more about price than pristine picture quality, then you can get the Samsung U7900F 65-inch 4K TV at Walmart for $328 (was $429.99). Samsung is known for its wide catalog of quality electronics, including TVs, smartphones, tablets, headphones, and more.

Anthropic may have lost out on doing business with the US government, but it's gained enough popularity to earn the number one spot on the App Store's Top Free Apps leaderboard. At the top, Claude beat out both ChatGPT and Google Gemini, which respectively sit at the second and third spots on Apple's free apps charts. The sudden surge in user downloads isn't random.

Prediction market users have made — and profited from — big bets around the bombing of Iran by the U.S. and Israeli military. On Polymarket, $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the attack, according to Bloomberg.

On a warm fall afternoon at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, a gentle breeze blows through the meticulously landscaped trees lining the walkways. A ray of sunshine hits the famed Team Disney building, where 19-foot-tall stone carvings of the seven dwarfs of Snow White fame hold up the roof. The renowned sculptural architecture is a nod to the film that helped build the Disney empire.

When I think of a life coach, I picture that relentlessly upbeat person who meets every crisis with a serene smile and a herbal tea. They’re the 'winners' of the world, overflowing with a brand of boundless positivity that – perhaps it’s just my British sensibilities – leaves me feeling distinctly nauseous. That’s why I was pleased to learn that Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*, had developed a life coach app.

We’re still waiting for releases dates for Remedy’s in-development Max Payne remakes, but if you’re in need of a noir fix sooner than that, keep an eye on Liquid Swords’ Samson: A Tyndalston Story, which just got a release date of April 8. The debut game from a new studio formed by Just Cause creator Christofer Sundberg, Samson looks like a tighter, more narrative-led experience than Avalanche’s proudly ridiculous open-world series, but no less packed with over-the-top action.

Honor's Magic V5 foldable phone only launched last summer, but the company's already back with its latest model. The Magic V6 is another book-style foldable, and I got my hands on it at Mobile World Congress 2026. It packs a host of tech into an amazingly skinny body for a folding phone, and it's set to go on sale in the UK and wider Europe in the second half of the year.

Review aggregator Metacritic has removed a review of Resident Evil Requiem because it was AI-generated, Kotaku reports. The review was published by UK gaming site VideoGamer, but appears to be "written" by a fake AI journalist rather than a real person. While it's unfortunately difficult to confirm with 100 percent accuracy whether a piece of text is AI-generated, you don't have to read…

In the US, the tech events that typically get the most attention are CES, Samsung Unpacked, Google I/O and pretty much any time Apple puts on a show. But there's also a major gathering in Barcelona each year that doesn't draw as many eyes on this side of the Atlantic, despite attracting more than 100,000 people over four days. It's Mobile World Congress, and it kicks off this week.

More recently, Iran has been a regular adversary in cyberspace—and while it hasn’t demonstrated quite the acuity of Russia or China, Iran is “good at finding ways to maximize the impact of their capabilities,” says Jeff Greene, the former executive assistant director of cybersecurity at CISA. Iran, in particular, famously was responsible for a series of distributed-denial-of-service attacks on Wall Street institutions…

Anthropic’s chatbot Claude seems to have benefited from the attention around the company’s fraught negotiations with the Pentagon. As first reported by CNBC, Claude has been rising to the top of the free app rankings in Apple’s US App Store. On Saturday evening, it overtook OpenAI’s ChatGPT to claim the number one spot, a position that it still held on Sunday morning.

In a statement on X, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said his company would pay out positions on “Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader?” at the last trading price before his death. Mansour said that Kalshi doesn’t “list markets directly tied to death” and that its rules are designed to “prevent people from profiting from death.” In addition, Kalshi is refunding fees related to the market and reimbursing anyone who purchased shares after Khamenei’s death.

Having a privacy screen protector always struck me as a rather paranoid measure, but the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has changed my thinking. Over the last couple of days, the S26 Ultra's new Privacy Display setting has quickly become one of my favorite features because of its practicality and ingenuity. With the setting enabled, anyone looking over your shoulder won't be able to see what's on your screen.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social on February 27, President Trump ordered all federal agencies to "immediately cease all use of Anthropic's technology" following strong disagreements between the Department of Defense and the AI company.

Resident Evil turns 30 this year. The series is full of history — the new Resident Evil Requiem is technically the ninth mainline game, but there are a bunch of spinoffs, remakes, movies, and even a TV show — which can make it fun to follow for fans. But it’s also intimidating for people like me who haven’t played everything. The latest release, …

As persistent spam complaints have clouded Google’s Rich Communication Services (RCS) push in India, the company is turning to deeper carrier integration to bolster protections on the platform. On Sunday, Bharti Airtel, India’s second-largest telecom operator with over 463 million subscribers, said it had partnered with Google to integrate the carrier’s network-level spam filtering into the RCS ecosystem in the country.

You probably take your phone everywhere you go. So how do you end up misplacing it? Easy! We get too busy to remember where everything goes sometimes. That includes your iPhone.

MWC 2026 officially gets underway on March 2 and will continue through March 5, but the announcements are already coming ahead of its start. We can always count on the annual tech event to bring tons of new phones, laptops and tablets, and we're expecting to see some robots and other gadgets too — plus plenty of AI news, of course.

If you need a dependable 15-inch laptop for work, study, or everyday computing, I can’t recommend the Dell 15.6-inch FHD Laptop highly enough and it’s currently down to $500 at Best Buy, reduced fromi ts usual $800 asking price. That’s a hefty $300 off a well-specced machine with plenty of storage and memory for daily productivity. It runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, an 8-core, 16-thread processor with boost speeds up to 4.5GHz.

Investors have been pouring billions into AI companies over the past few years, as the technology continues to hold sway in the Valley and thus the world. But not all AI companies are grabbing investor attention. Indeed, even as it seems every company these days is rebranding to include “AI” in its name, some startup ideas are just no longer in favor with investors.

On Sunday, March 8, at 2 a.m., it's time to "spring forward" and observe the start of daylight saving time. The good news? We get more daylight during the evening and can spend more time outdoors after work. The bad news: We all lose an hour of sleep, which can negatively impact our mental and physical health. But we don't have to take these unwanted effects lying down (as much as we want to lie down and take a nap).

By CEO Sam Altman’s own admission, OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense was “definitely rushed,” and “the optics don’t look good.” After negotiations between Anthropic and the Pentagon fell through on Friday, President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s technology after a six-month transition period, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said he was designating the AI company as a supply-chain risk.

Apple's mobile devices are secure enough for NATO. Following extensive testing by the German government, the iPhone and iPad are now considered secure enough for the NATO-restricted classified level. Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, or BSI) tested the devices. BSI first approved the iPhone and iPad for governmental use by German authorities in 2022.

Open Instagram and you would think post-workout recovery begins and ends with an ice bath. After you hit 'save' on your Apple Watch, your run zips off to the Strava cloud, plenty of social media influencers advise you go for a cold plunge (if you have access) or a cold shower (if you don't). But a new human study on muscle healing suggests something different: if you actually want your muscles to repair themselves, you are better off turning the hot tap up than jumping into a tub of freezing water or opting for a cold shower.

Not every VPN can be a favorite. These are the ones we reviewed, but they're not full-throated recommendations for one reason or another, including limited features and concerns over adequately hiding your identity, ultimately falling short to other picks we selected as the best VPNs. In addition to the more recently tested VPNs below, we also looked at Hotspot Shield and TunnelBear a few years ago and were left disappointed at the time.

Lego’s new Smart Brick is a pretty big deal. It packs a miniature computer, a microphone, and NFC tech into a classic 2x4 Lego brick, which can power all sorts of new experiences with select sets. It has so much promise that we awarded it “best in show” at CES 2026, and now, eight Star Wars-themed sets that support the Smart Brick (and include it, in some cases) are now available.

Meta has sued the people and groups behind three scam operations that used images and deepfakes of celebrities to lure users to scam websites. According to the company, the three entities were based in China and Brazil and targeted people in the US, Japan and other countries.

Meta said that it had filed lawsuits against several people in Brazil who promoted fake or unapproved healthcare products and online courses promoting them.

The Marshals is a new Yellowstone spin-off airing on CBS (but don't drop Paramount Plus -- it'll stream there too).  Luke Grimes reprises his role as Kayce Dutton in the Yellowstone sequel series.

In addition to Grimes, the show includes Yellowstone actors Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater, Mo Brings Plenty as Mo and Brecken Merrill as Tate.

The analysis company's Commodities at Sea monitoring also recorded outbound oil and product flows averaging about 20.4 million barrels per day in February to date, slightly below January levels—evidence that geopolitical tension alone can slow shipments before any physical disruption occurs. "Hormuz risk is not only about closure but also fleet productivity. If Iran escalates by seizing tankers or using drones to threaten commercial traffic, voyage times and possibly costs for Middle East oil exports would further increase," …

A low battery notification can turn a perfectly fine day into a mild emergency. Battery anxiety is a real thing, and it’s only gotten worse as our phones do more. That’s where Baseus, a leading charging accessory brand, comes in. With the new PicoGo AM52 Qi2.2 power bank, Baseus specifically takes that stress off the table. Not only does it add more battery, but Baseus rethinks what a power bank should actually feel like to carry and use every day, so you aren’t lugging around something big, bulky, and not travel-friendly.

We finally have an update to the Soundcore Space One that launched two and a half years ago.

While Honor has already made plenty of product announcements, with tablets, foldables and more, its most interesting device at MWC 2026 is the Robot Phone — and maybe the humanoid robot that came alongside it.

However, we got more specs, tech demos and a closer look following the company's MWC press event in Barcelona.

Honor launched its new foldable, the Honor Magic V6, with a massive 6,600 mAh battery and a new sturdy hinge ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The Chinese company has been obsessed with proving that it makes the thinnest foldables. This year’s version is 4mm thick when unfolded and 8.75 mm thick when folded. Compared to last year’s Magic V5, which was 4.1 mm thick when unfolded and 8.8 mm thick when folded.

In what was definitely the most showstopping moment of Mobile World Congress so far, Honor's new humanoid robot hit the stage on Sunday with a dance number choreographed to Believer by Imagine Dragons. This is the first time a phone-maker has unveiled a humanoid robot, setting Honor apart from its Android rivals in a big way.  Alongside four backing dancers, the robot showed off its dance moves, which included an impressive moonwalk, before being joined on stage by Honor CEO James Li, who shook its hand and then encouraged it to do a backflip.

The Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi is the latest flagship Android phone from Xiaomi, made this time with a deep collaboration with iconic German camera maker Leica.
