The iPhone X Is An Engineering Marvel, But It’s Not A Reinvention Of The Smartphone

I got this newsletter from FastCompany and I think you should see it too. Apple says the “X” is the smartphone of the future. It feels more like a really good smartphone of the present. BY MARK SULLIVAN When I first heard about the $1,000 price tag of the forthcoming iPhone X from a trusted source back in February, the news came with a lot of other information about the slew of new components and features that would go in the phone. Some of those things, I was told, would be expensive to Apple, explaining the high price tag. Still, it sounded like it might be worth it. That’s because it sounded like I was hearing about a completely new kind of device being prepared for the 10th anniversary of the iPhone–one that would reimagine smartphones and the way we use them. That may have been expecting too much. Apple is touting the new iPhone X as “ the future of the smartphone ,” but after getting some hands-on time with the phone Tuesday, I’m not sure that label qu

Apple’s Project Titan self-driving test car has a lot going on up top When one self-driving technology entrepreneur highlights the efforts of another company working on autonomous vehicles, you pay attention: That’s what happened with Voyage co-founder MacCallister Higgins, who tweeted a short video of the top of Apple’s ‘Project Titan’ test Lexus SUV, outfitted with a suite of sensors and autonomous hardware. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the car and its roof array, but it’s probably the best up-close look at it we’ve had, and it’s also being seen through expert eyes instead of through those of nearby residents who happen upon one in the wild. Higgins says, for instance, that the large rooftop assembly probably actually contains “the majority of the compute stack,” as opposed to having that stuffed in the trunk like it is in many other vehicles.Higgins also said that the front and back both have 6 LiDARS, and an observer noted that putting the radar array on the roof is also

Microsoft Is Trying To Muscle Its Way Into Being A Player In Virtual Reality

Microsoft Is Trying To Muscle Its Way Into Being A Player In Virtual Reality Microsoft wants people to refer to a slew of new headsets from the likes of Samsung, HP, Lenovo, and more as “mixed reality.” But right now it’s a whole lot like VR. BY DANIEL TERDIMAN When people talk about the companies powering virtual reality, they generally talk about Facebook-owned Oculus, HTC, Samsung, and Google. But Microsoft wants to be a big part of that conversation, and completely transform it, too. This holiday season, the first group of what are called Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality devices–but which are really third-party high-end tethered (meaning, requiring wires that are connected to a PC) VR headsets made using Microsoft’s reference design–will begin shipping. The company had already announced devices from Acer, Dell, HP, and Lenovo , but today, it said that Samsung has joined that group. The first four of those will begin shipping October 17, with Samsung’s device avai
