For years, the Toyota RAV4 has been the default pick if you wanted a compact Toyota SUV. It was still the brand’s bestseller in 2025—but it’s no longer the fastest-growing one.

Home Assistant is such powerful smart home software that it's easy to miss some of its most useful features. If you're not using scripts in Home Assistant, then it's time to start.

New information about Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone keeps leaking.

The latest leak comes from longtime Apple leaker Sonny Dickson, who shared what looks like a few photos from the 3D CAD rendering files showing the iPhone Fold's hardware design.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

This isn't the first design leak we've seen for the iPhone Fold, which has a wider shape than the flagship foldables we've seen from Samsung, Google, and OnePlus.

Dickson's leak closely matches an earlier leak from YouTuber Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech.

As 9to5Mac points out, the back of the device shows the same camera plateau as found on the iPhone Air. However, the foldable device has two lenses on the back of the phone. In addition, a pinhole for the selfie cam can be found on the front of the device when it is closed. There also appears to be another pinhole for a selfie camera on the left-hand corner of the device when it is opened as well.

A foldable iPhone has long been a rumor among Apple fans and industry insiders. Reporters and analysts like Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo have all but confirmed that Apple is actively working on such a device, with a release potentially scheduled for fall 2026.

According to Prosser and other leakers, the foldable iPhone will have a 5.5-inch external display, and the opened foldable screen will measure at 7.8 inches. When the device is closed, the foldable iPhone will be 9mm thick, and when opened, its thickness will roughly be 4.5mm, or even thinner than the iPhone Air.

Prosser's report also shared that the device is equipped with a total of four cameras, which would match the two rear cameras and the two selfie cameras as seen in the 3D rendering.

The details about the iPhone Fold from Prosser are notable considering that Apple is currently suing the YouTuber over separate leaks that Prosser shared previously concerning iOS 26 and Liquid Glass. According to Apple's lawsuit, another individual mentioned in the suit sent the information from an Apple employee's phone, which further legitimizes Prosser's sources.

For now, none of these potential iPhone Fold specs are confirmed.

In theory, building your own gaming PC sounds like a fun weekend project. In reality, it involves stressing over cable management and praying you applied the thermal paste correctly. I'm a huge advocate for just buying a solid, ready-to-go pre-built rig so you can skip straight to the gaming part — especially when there's a discount this good.

Our sister site, PCMag, reviewed this 2025 Aurora lineup and gave it a 4.0 "Excellent" rating. They loved its "space-age" design, but the best part is obviously the hardware. (As a bonus, reviewers noted it runs "nearly silent" even under heavy gaming loads.)

It also has super-convenient front-panel ports, so you don't have to awkwardly reach around the back of the machine to plug in your headset or controllers. Plus, if you ever do get the itch to tinker, the Aurora's interior features tool-free access to most of its components. That means if you eventually want to pop in some extra storage down the line, you can do it without busting out a toolbox.

The best airline travel deals this week: Southwest Airlines One way tickets as low as $49 Get Deal JetBlue Airlines Up to 50% off flights with a vacation package Get Deal Frontier Airlines One-way fares as low as $19 with Discount Den Get Deal Spirit Airlines Up to 30% off flight and hotel bundles Get Deal

You're probably already feeling the pain at the pump as nationwide gas prices jumped an average of 27 cents in a week (per data from the AAA motor club) from the fallout of the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. And that same surge is beginning to effect air travel as well. Jet fuel spiked an absurd 56% in the days following the strikes, which inevitably points to one thing: pricier plane tickets. TL;DR: If you're planning a trip (or even considering it), get your tickets ASAP before that price hike kicks in.

Fortunately, several airlines are running spring sales to ease some of that stress on your wallet. But you'll want to act fast to secure a deal. According to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, the impact from rising fuel costs on passenger plane ticket prices will "probably start quick." Shop the best spring airline ticket deals below.

Southwest Airlines stays pumping out discounts for its travelers. Its Spring Forward Sale is live from March 9 through March 12 and you can book a one-way ticket for as low as just $49.

Restrictions, exclusions, and blackout dates apply. After some poking around, I was able to find $69 flights from Nashville to New York City, $67 flights to Atlanta, and $49 flights to Columbus. I suggest heading to the sale page and selecting your departure city from the drop down list to get an overview of costs.

"You were gonna be somebody."

Those are the damning words Shyanne (Michelle Pfieffer) says to her daughter Margo (Elle Fanning) after learning she's become pregnant and is dropping out of college. But in the trailer for Margo's Got Money Troubles, the protagonist clearly has an interesting future ahead of her — albeit not the one she expected.

From Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley and based on Rufi Thorpe's novel of the same name, the show follows Margo as she starts an alien-themed OnlyFans in order to make ends meet with the help of her father, former pro wrestler Jinx (Nick Offerman).

Nicole Kidman, Marcia Gay Harden, Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty, and Lindsey Normington also star.

Margo's Got Money Troubles premieres April 15 on Apple TV.

We've tested this exact unit, and Mashable's Lauren Allain named it the "Best for Content Creators." During testing, Allain found it to be shockingly quiet (running at just 30 decibels) and was able to charge her phone and a camera battery while cooking dinner in an air fryer. If you do use it during a blackout, it can keep a fridge cooling for up to 40 hours.

The DJI Power 2000 offers a 2048Wh LFP battery and 3000W of stable output, meaning it can power 99 percent of common appliances, from kettles and cookers to projectors and electric saws. It only takes 55 minutes to charge to 80 percent, and it has 15 ports to keep your laptop, phone, and lights charged and ready to go.

The thought of dual-GPU setups brings many of us back to the era of SLI and Crossfire, when such setups were a bit more common. They still weren't everywhere—it was definitely more of a cutting-edge thing—but they were what most gamers yearned for. Those solutions are now irrelevant, but using two GPUs at once is far from forgotten.

While LineageOS is far from perfect, it’s a superior choice in many areas compared to any stock Android experience. It’s leaner, runs better, comes with zero bloatware, and lets you use your Android phone with exactly zero Google apps installed.

Luxury hybrid SUVs promise efficiency, comfort, and advanced technology, but not every model delivers the same level of value. In a segment filled with strong competition, buyers are often forced to choose between performance, reliability, and premium features. The 2026 Lexus NX Hybrid stands out by combining all three, offering a well-rounded package that competes strongly against rivals from both luxury and mainstream brands.

When Apple launched the first "e" model iPhone, the iPhone 16e, tech reviewers (me included) let out a collective: "WHY?"

It wasn't about battery life, or the chip powering it (both were pretty great), and no one was really phased about the device's archaic design. It was the lack of MagSafe, Apple's magnetic, wireless power charging tech that makes it easy to slap various accessories onto the phone. It seemed like such a weird omission. Ditching MagSafe probably cut some production costs for Apple, but it meant phone owners would not buy any of the accessories from Apple's rich MagSafe ecosystem.

I'm pleased to report that this year's Apple budget phone, the iPhone 17e, fixes this issue.

Apple sent me an iPhone 17e unit for review, and I was happily able to use my Apple Wallet and magnetic chargers with it. Apple also sent me a Clear Case with MagSafe, and while it may not be my favorite case in terms of design, it was a relief to be able to charge the phone magnetically without removing the case.

I'm aware that people who buy a budget phone are perhaps less interested in splurging on additional accessories. But MagSafe is a simple, cool feature that also works with cheaper, third-party accessories, and it doesn't get in the way if you don't care for it. I'm glad that Apple came to its senses and included it in the new iPhone 17e.

The ability to use MagSafe chargers and accessories is just about the only physical difference between the iPhone 17e and 16e, though. The iPhone 17e looks exactly the same as its predecessor, with the only difference being the new color, Soft Pink. The unit Apple sent me was in this color, and I can tell you that it is a very nice, but indeed a very soft pink.

On the front, there's still no Dynamic Island; the Face ID sensors and the selfie camera are still hidden inside a notch on the top of the display. The dimensions have remained exactly the same (your old iPhone 16e case will work), and the weight is virtually the same (169 grams for the new model, 167 grams for the old one).

The display is still a 6.1-inch OLED that maxes out at 60Hz, and that's very apparent if you switch from a 120Hz phone; the transitions and animations aren't nearly as smooth on the iPhone 17e.

The biggest upgrades are on the inside The iPhone 17e Silicone Case (this one is in the Bright Guava color) can be attached to Apple's Crossbody Strap. Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable

The biggest improvements on the iPhone 17e are inside the phone. It has a new chip, Apple's powerful A19, which can power the latest AI shenanigans. Apple's C1X modem has replaced the old C1 modem, though it's hard to tell what sort of improvements this has brought.

Perhaps most importantly, the iPhone 17e starts at 256GB, compared to the iPhone 16e's 128GB starting storage. Given that the iPhone 17e's starting price remained unchanged at $599, this is a pretty big deal. You can also configure the iPhone 17e with 512GB of storage, but that takes the price to $799.

The combination of having Apple's latest chip and a decent amount of storage means this phone will be relevant for at least four to five years. In fact, this makes it extremely similar to the $799 iPhone 17, though the A19 chip on the iPhone 17e has one less GPU core, meaning it'll be slightly worse for gaming. If you don't care about having the flashiest phone, and just needs something that gets the work done, the iPhone 17e is a very interesting choice.

When I reviewed the iPhone 16e, I was pleased with battery life and how powerful it was. But having used the phone over several months, I came away disappointed with the camera. The phone has a singular, 48-megapixel rear camera with very similar specs to the one on the iPhone 16. But it just wasn't the same; it was alright in daytime, but night shots, or even shots taken in the relative dimness of my living room, just weren't good enough.

The bad news is that the iPhone 17e has the exact same camera specs as the iPhone 16e. Apple says that the new A19 chips will unlock better shots, and some new camera features are indeed here, including next-gen portraits with Focus and Depth Control. But it's hard to say what the improvements are this early on.

On first glance, the camera is a little better than before. I was able to take some decent shots in fairly dark environments. But I'll need more time to assess just how much better it is.
