We understand the need for big companies to keep costs low. But considering Apple pulls in billions upon billions in profits each quarter, you’d think the company could spring for a fast charger and include it in the box with its iPhones. Apple’s iPhone lineup actually supports fast charging up to 18W, which can refill an empty iPhone battery to about 80% in less than an hour. There’s only a 5W charging in the box though, and it’s insanely slow. Here’s what you need to do: pick up an Anker USB C 18W Power Delivery Charger on sale for $19.99 and then get an Apple Lightning to USB-C Cable for another $19. That’s just $38.99 all in, and you can utilize the fastest charging technology your iPhone supports.

Anker USB C 18W Power Delivery Charger

• Next-Gen Speed: Equipped with a USB-C Power Delivery port, and loaded with 18W of output power to give the latest iPhones a full-speed charge.

We’re just over two weeks away from the Avengers: Endgame premiere, the must-see film of the year, especially if you’re a fan of the massive MCU that Marvel and Disney cooked up together for more than a decade now. The surviving Avengers must find a way to cope with the heartbreaking defeat of Infinity War, deal with the loss and mount an avenging attack on Thanos in the hopes that they’ll be able to undo the Snap. We know, of course, that this is it. It’s the endgame, the one future where they actually win, where they’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done. And we’ve seen a bunch of theories out there looking to predict the events of Avengers 4. While many of these theories have unique elements, there is a dominant theme throughout them: the only way to beat Thanos is to use time travel. And now we’ll show you the biggest Endgame leak yet, which seems to confirm that time travel will be in order, as well as hint at other rumored plot points. Beware, however, that you won’t be able to unsee what’s coming next, so you’d better leave now if you want to avoid any significant Avengers 4 spoilers.

If you want to see space rocks exploding in Earth’s atmosphere apparently you’d be best served by moving to Russia. At least that seems to be the case now that yet another fireball has appeared in the skies over Siberia, catching the eyes of countless citizens and giving everyone just the tiniest bit of a scare.

The object, which exploded over the town of Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, didn’t cause any damage and there have been no injuries associated with it visiting Earth in a blaze of glory. What it did do, however, is provide a reason for lots of people to look skyward, and thankfully several of them had cameras rolling.

Never mind that Samsung Electronics Co., the global smartphone maker leader as ranked by device shipments, reported a 60 percent slump in quarterly operating income a few days ago — the worst such drop in more than four years. A slowdown in smartphone sales, as well as plunging memory chip prices, were mostly to blame when the company reported its latest earnings.

DJ Koh, the CEO of Samsung’s mobile division, tried to sound bullish anyway in a new interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro, in which he declared that foldable technology will help the company recapture some of its mojo. Also, he brushed off the threat from Huawei, which wants to displace his company atop the global rankings, and confidently promised that Samsung will remain the smartphone market leader for at least another 10 years.

If there’s anybody you’d think would be among the first to proclaim that Netflix and its rival streaming services are eating away at the business of traditional movie theaters, the theaters and movie distributors would be at the top of your list, right? Surely, they’d be the first to acknowledge that Netflix alone — which is spending several billion dollars just this year on commissioning new content and licensing third party shows and movies — is giving people another reason to stay home and avoid the crowds, sticky floors and expensive cinema tickets. Right?

Turns out, the idea that Netflix is killing movie theaters is a pretty easy myth to knock down. That’s based in part on the slew of billion-dollar blockbusters teed up for 2019, like Avengers: Endgame coming later this month, which is expected to help propel the US box office this year to a record $12 billion.

In 2018, NASA launched a mission to do something that scientists have never done before. The Parker Solar Probe mission is truly the first of its kind, venturing closer to our star than any spacecraft has ever dared, and it’s already broken a number of records.

Now, the spacecraft is continuing its incredible journey by completing its second close approach to the Sun, bringing it to the record-setting distance it achieved during its first pass. As NASA explains in a new blog post, scientists are eager to examine the scientific data the probe is gathering during time closest to the Sun, and thus far everything appears to be going as planned.
