By Bill Smith July 28, 2026

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a 1998 Nintendo 64 adventure, is now available as a native app for iPhones and iPads. Full screen resolution, sixty frames per second, widescreen perspective, usable touch overlays, Bluetooth controllers that simply work, plus keyboard and mouse capabilities for good measure. There is no blurry 240p image, no stuttering twenty-frame limit from the original hardware, and no remote streaming via PC. The game has been recreated and is now running on the device itself.

A Mechanical Eye Arrives Just in Time for Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro September Launch

By Jackson Chung July 22, 2026

Apple’s fall event calendar has settled into a familiar groove, and this year’s Labor Day landing on September 7 leaves Wednesday the 9th looking like the strongest candidate for the iPhone 18 Pro reveal. Past fifteen years of keynotes rarely stray far from that window, and the pattern points to pre-orders opening the following Friday with phones shipping a week later on the 18th. A later Monday date remains possible, yet the early-September slot has held more often than not.

By Jackson Chung July 14, 2026

Marc Porat sat with a red notebook in 1989, drawing what no one else could see. A little rectangular piece of glass with a touch screen, phone, fax, messages, video, games, ticket purchases, and apps delivered over the air. He named it the Pocket Crystal. It would feel like a piece of jewelry you carried every day, something with the comfort of a seashell and the pull of a crystal. At Apple, where he worked, the idea landed with John Sculley. Resources stayed scarce. So in May 1990 the project left Cupertino and became its own company. Bill Atkinson and Andy Hertzfeld, two of the original Macintosh wizards, signed on. General Magic was born.

Transparent iPhone 6 Plus Lets You Look Straight Through Its Own Screen

By Jackson Chung July 12, 2026

A plastic frame now holds an entire iPhone 6 Plus together in plain view. Every internal piece sits where it belongs, yet nothing blocks the line of sight from one side of the device to the other. The screen itself no longer acts as a solid barrier. Light and glances pass through it, revealing the battery, logic board, and other components depending on what appears on the display.

By Jackson Chung July 5, 2026

Recent checks on Apple’s supply chain point to a launch strategy heavy on anticipation and light on immediate stock. The company appears ready to show its first foldable handset, the rumored iPhone Ultra, in September, yet early buyers could face weeks or months of waiting lists and marked-up resale prices. This setup recalls past launches where demand ran far ahead of what factories could deliver right away.
