Semi-untethered jailbreaks are here to stay, as evidenced by iOS 11's Electra method, Chimera for iOS 12, and even the new bootrom-based Checkra1n tool for iOS 13.

Fireworks are the best part about the Fourth of July and other celebrations, but they can easily cause accidental injuries.

When it comes to augmented reality (AR) on Android, you might be wondering how you can get those cool new games and apps on your unsupported phone.

The triple camera system on the OnePlus 7 Pro is the best setup they've ever done so far, but it could always be better.
