If you want a Lightning cable for your iPhone or iPad, you can get them for practically nothing on Amazon. For example, here’s a 10-foot Lightning cable for $11.49, and here’s a pair of 3-foot cables for $13.

But do Apple’s cables really feature quality that’s all that great? I don’t know about you, but I’ve accidentally torn through several of them over the past few years.
Sometimes you get what you pay for though, and that’s exactly the case with the 3-Foot Fuse Chicken Titan Lightning Cable.

If there’s anything that has received consistent praise from fans and critics alike, it’s Ben Affleck’s performance as Batman. If you liked what you saw out of Affleck, you’re in luck — he’s written his own Batman movie.

Every year on April 1st, Google unveils several completely fake tech products to make us laugh on April Fools Day. This year, it introduced a hilarious “Mic Drop” feature in Gmail. Unfortunately, because the feature is built into Gmail and not all people pay attention to tiny user interface changes, this email addition actually cost some people their jobs.

During Elon Musk’s Model 3 introduction on Thursday night, the Tesla CEO boasted that the company had already secured more than 115,000 reservations for the Model 3. All the more impressive is that each and every one of those reservations were made before anyone even knew what the car would look like.
Not surprisingly, the number of Model 3 reservations only continued to climb once Musk finally unveiled the company’s highly-anticipated mass market EV for the first time.

Undoubtedly, first-hand impressions from folks lucky enough to test drive the vehicle will be coming in soon enough. But in the mean time, there’s still a lot to dissect. Of particular interest is whether or not prospective Tesla buyers are into the overall design of the Model 3.
