The Tesla Model 3 is going to be the more affordable Tesla ever… but you’re still years away from being able to actually own one. Since most of us can’t afford to shell out the cash needed to buy either a Model S or Model X right now, that leaves us with one option if we want to drive a Tesla: Rentals.

The problem with rentals, however, is that they’re also pretty expensive. Given the high demand for Teslas on the rental car market, we’ve seen rental agencies charge anywhere from $400 to $900 per day just for the privilege of driving the hugely popular electric vehicles.

However, there is another option that will let you drive a Tesla for significantly less money and it comes in the form of peer-to-peer car rental marketplace Turo.

In our in-depth HTC 10 review, we made it clear that HTC’s new flagship handset is one of the best smartphones on the planet. In fact, it’s the most powerful phone in the world by a wide margin. There’s just one problem with the HTC 10: You can’t buy it yet.

Among the many smartphones that are currently available to purchase, there’s little doubt in our minds that the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and the LG G5 are the two best options out there for users in search of a high-end Android phone. They each offer a wide range of unique design elements and features, while also offering plenty of power for hardcore Android fans.

But which phone offers the most power in real-world usage?

Mobile security is obviously a major topic these days but it seems very few of us know just how vulnerable our phones are to hacking. 60 Minutes this week decided to give a new iPhone to Representative Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and then challenge researchers at Security Research Labs to hack it. It goes without saying that the hackers were frighteningly successful in this endeavor and managed to retrieve a lot of sensitive information from the congressman’s device after only learning his phone number.

Apple has always been a market leader when it comes to mobile accessibility features for people with disabilities. And of course as anyone who follows all of our coverage of cool hidden iPhone features knows, accessibility options also provide useful functionality to people without disabilities. While Apple is still the leader in this space, Google has made tremendous strides in recent years by adding new accessibility features with each Android release.

Unfortunately, Google’s best new accessibility app in a long time is currently a closed beta, and it’s no longer available to the general public — unless you’re reading this post, in which case we’ll show you how to get it right now.

Look at this product on Amazon. Look at all those crazy reviews. Seriously, look at them! Can they possibly be real? No way… right?

Product reviews are a key component when you’re shopping, especially on a site like Amazon. Since the popular online retailer has such a wide reach, customer reviews are often a very good tool to use when you’re shopping for something. Of course, retailers know that as well as you do, and less scrupulous vendors can sometimes take advantage of that by creating fake reviews for their products in an effort to make them look better than they actually are.

As it turns out, however, there are tools you can use to figure out when you’re being had.

In an effort to distance itself from a market where most smartphones look and feel exceedingly similar, Apple in 2017 is reportedly planning to do away with the aluminum backed casing it’s used ever since the iPhone 5s. Instead, Apple will reportedly opt for a glass casing, similar to what the company used on the iPhone 4 and 4s.

If true, this would mark one of the biggest strategic changes in Apple’s iPhone business since it first released the iPhone 10 years earlier.
