The iPhone SE launches on Thursday in several markets after a week of online preorders. Priced starting at just $399 in the U.S., the smartphone is basically an iPhone 6s in the iPhone 5’s clothing. The device has the same internal components as the bigger 2015 iPhones, meaning it’ll deliver the same amazing performance for an unbelievable price. It’ll also beat the Galaxy S7 and any other top Android devices.

That’s the kind of performance that makes it a no-brainer purchase for anyone looking for a budget phone. And now you can buy the most powerful phone in the world starting at just $200 if you hurry.

We knew just about everything to expect from Apple’s new iPhone SE long before it was announced on stage during a press conference last week. Weeks of leaks and rumors painted a nearly complete picture of the phone, which is essentially an iPhone 6s stuffed into an iPhone 5’s housing. Apple still managed to shock us all when it announced the phone’s base price, however: $399.

In other words for as little as $399 up front or $10 a month in markets where Apple’s installment plans are available, you can have the most powerful smartphone in the world. Impressive indeed, but is the new iPhone SE really as good a deal as it seems to be?

Samsung and Apple have a long history of legal battles that started several years ago when Samsung took inspiration from Apple’s iPhone and iPad to revamp its own mobile product line. A whole lot of inspiration, in fact. So it’s natural to presume when you see new that Samsung is getting sued again, Apple’s legal team will wind up on the other side of the court room. This time around, however, there’s a new suit that seeks to drag Samsung into court and it was brought forth by one of the most beloved legends in sports: Pele.

We have good news and bad news about Microsoft’s chatbot experiment involving Tay, a Twitter account that the company hopes will someday interact with other Twitter users in a meaningful way without human assistance. The good news is that Tay is not a racist anymore. But the bad news is that it has apparently morphed into something else the world doesn’t need anymore of: A spambot.

There are more than seven billion people in the world, and life expectancy keeps growing thanks to the unbelievable advancements in modern medicine. However, the human body can’t outlive its expiration date, and organs often fail and require viable replacements. But because there never seem to be enough donors around, doctors are looking at various ways to create artificial organs that are either built out of human flesh or mechanical parts, and that could replace some of our internal components.

The GoPro Hero4 is a terrific action camera, but at a time when more and more companies are coming out with rival cameras, we’re really not sure it’s worth the steep $330 price tag anymore. Seriously, there are so many other options out there that deliver a high-quality experience with a far lower price tag.

Case in point: The Contour ROAM3 Waterproof HD Video Camera is just $89.99 on Amazon right now, and it can film high-quality 1080p video just like a GoPro.

We’ve seen our fair share or unusual Airbnb listings, some a lot more welcoming than others, but sleeping underwater in a giant fish tank that houses no less than 35 sharks is an extraordinary feat that deserves some recognition. This marks the world’s first underwater Airbnb in Paris, where a giant 360-degree glass wall is the only thing to separate you and a friend from 3,000,000 liters of water. And, yes, 35 sharks.

Apple beat the FBI this week, as it avoided a legal battle against the law enforcement agency over creating a backdoor into the San Bernardino iPhone. The war on encryption isn’t over yet, as both parties aren’t necessarily happy with this temporary solution. For the FBI, accessing the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters is crucial, but doesn’t solve its bigger problem: spying on encrypted communications or devices. Apple, on the other hand, is reportedly working on beefing up iPhone security. But for now, it has one other problem: the world knows there is a way to get peek at the data stored on an encrypted iPhone without knowing the PIN or password.

The FBI did not say whether it’ll share the vulnerability it discovered and successfully used on the San Bernardino iPhone 5c, with the help of an unnamed security company. But Apple might be able to use other legal cases that involve iPhones to force the Bureau to explain the hack.
