Leasing vs. buying a new iPhone: Which is better if you upgrade every year? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The lower monthly payments of leasing your iPhone can be tempting, but it's not always the cheapest option. If you're someone who always buys the latest iPhone, there are lots of payment and upgrade options to navigate. Apple's new program, called Apple Upgrade, lets you lease an iPhone for 12 or 24 months. That poses a big question for annual upgraders: is leasing actually cheaper than buying? With the iPhone 18 Pro starting at $1,199 and the exciting iPhone Duo at $1,999, paying full price for
iPhone 18 Pro vs. iPhone 17 Pro: What's new? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The iPhone 18 Pro isn't a world-changing upgrade, but it has a few cool improvements to offer. Despite their higher prices, the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max aren't revolutionary upgrades. On one hand, they add enough new features and improvements to be named the "standard setter" by our iPhone 18 Pro review.

Read excerpt
You don’t need a Raspberry Pi or mini PC to start experimenting with Home Assistant. That crappy old laptop collecting dust in your closet might have another use after all.

It may not be the perfect hardware for the job, but it lets you get started with what you already have. A smart home composed of devices from several different companies can make for a messy setup.

The Microsoft-owned company inked the deal with Unionen and Engineers of Sweden on Thursday. It comes only a day before workers were scheduled to strike and two days after the latest round of Xbox layoffs. The agreement takes effect on April 1, 2027. Talks had been underway since May 2025.

Nicolas Cage is anything but subtle in the Madden trailer - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's something new: Nicolas Cage in a zany, wig-and-prosthetic-heavy performance as a larger-than-life figure. Okay, maybe not so new after all, but hey, it is his first time playing John Madden. The trailer for David O. Russell's biopic, aptly titled Madden, offers a peek at the film that arrives in November. Christian Bale, in a decidedly more understated turn than Cage's Madden, plays Raiders owner Al Davis, who Madden partnered with to win the Super Bowl in 1977. The trailer shows Madden g
