The iPhone 12’s mysterious groove is a 5G mmWave antenna window — and it’s exclusive to the US

Posted: 13 Oct 2020 03:45 PM PDT

Apple has announced its very first 5G iPhones: the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. They range in price from $729 to well north of $1,100, but — as Apple proudly announced during the press conference — even the Mini offers access to speedy millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G networks.

As it turns out, that's why each new iPhone features this conspicuous groove along the right edge. It's a special window for mmWave signals, and it appears to be designed so users can visibly see it and perhaps avoid holding it there for maximum signal strength.

The $299 Oculus Quest 2 VR headset starts shipping today

Posted: 13 Oct 2020 03:01 PM PDT

The Oculus Quest 2, Facebook's new virtual reality headset, has started shipping today. The Quest 2 is a cheaper, revamped version of the original 2019 Quest. It's got the same untethered standalone design but with a new chipset and a big bump in screen resolution and controller battery life. And it's starting at $299 for the base 64GB model and $399 for a 256GB version, a $100 drop from the original Quest.

Quest 2 preorders have been open since September, and it's available through Oculus' own site and stores like Best Buy and Walmart, with a full list of retailers in Oculus' announcement post. It was difficult to buy an original Quest over much of the past year, thanks to persistent supply problems, but the Quest 2 still appears to be...

AMC Theaters warns that it could run out of cash by the end of 2020

AMC Theaters is warning investors that without a steady flow of movies to bring people into the remaining theaters it has open, the company could run out of cash by the end of 2020.

It's no surprise that the theater industry is hurting. Nearly every major blockbuster (movies that could get people to possibly visit a theater mid-pandemic) has been pushed back to 2021, and the theaters still open are operating at reduced capacities. The results aren't great; Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan's Tenet — the one notable blockbuster a studio tried to release — failed to perform in the United States, where theaters in major markets like New York City and Los Angeles remain closed. The next big film is Wonder Woman 1984, and there's always a...

A new crew of three astronauts are launching to the International Space Station late tonight, blasting off on a Russian Soyuz rocket out of Kazakhstan. The trio are heading to the station about a month ahead of SpaceX's next crewed Dragon launch, which will bring another set of four astronauts aboard the ISS in mid-November.

Heading up on this Soyuz flight are two Russian cosmonauts — Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov — and NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, on her second trip to space. The trio will join three crew members who have been living on the ISS since April: Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy. However, their living arrangement won't last long. Cassidy and his cosmonaut crew...

Solar energy reaches historically low costs

In some parts of the world, solar power is now the cheapest source of electricity in history, thanks to policies encouraging renewable energy growth. That's according to a new report released today by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Sunshine is free, but the technology needed to turn it into usable electricity can be expensive. To encourage more people and companies to switch to solar power, countries can adjust their policies to make purchasing that equipment more affordable. Today, more than 130 countries have policies that lower the cost of building new solar installations. This is the first year that the IEA took such policies into consideration when calculating the cost of solar energy in its annual World Energy Outlook...

Apple’s iPhone 12 can wirelessly charge twice as fast, but only with a MagSafe charger

Apple's new iPhone 12 line will be able to access faster wireless charging speeds of 15W in line with the most up-to-date Qi standard, but there's a catch: you'll have to use Apple's new MagSafe brand of charger or a MagSafe-compatible one from a third-party accessory maker.

Apple reintroduced its MagSafe branding for the iPhone with the announcement of its new smartphone line on Tuesday, and the company now touts a new feature in which "magnets align themselves perfectly every time for faster wireless charging" on its product page. But what Apple didn't explicitly mention is that only its proprietary MagSafe brand, and not chargers using the general Qi charging standard it's based on, can use those faster speeds.
