You can’t buy a iPhone X in gold today, but you can now “ooh” and “aah” at newly leaked photos of Apple’s best smartphone in that prestigious color.

Of course, we never got a shot at buying this gold iPhone X six months ago when the phone first launched. There are no hints in today’s filing as to why the gold iPhone X was scrapped, or if it will ever see the light of day. Apple’s been touti

Cable companies are coming to the conclusion the rest of the country came to a few years ago: Streaming is not a passing fad. So now, rather than denying the momentum of the cord cutting movement, cable companies are trying to get into the streaming services’ good graces. Last week, DISH and Comcast announced a deal that would allow cable subscribers to add Sling TV International to their cable package for $10 per month. Today, Comcast and Netflix announced a deal that will give customers the op

There are big changes ahead for Gmail on the web, and one newly revealed feature we can expect to see in a few weeks sounds particularly intriguing.

Although Nintendo’s Animal Crossing franchise has not been confirmed for a Switch release, we think it’s only a matter of time before it is. Animal Crossing is a very popular series for Nintendo that helps shift a lot of hardware, and while the company appears to have no trouble shifting consoles at the moment, an Animal Crossing title in the future is a a good guarantee of enticing players new and old.

Last month Football Manager director Miles Jacobson took to Twitter with a big hint:When the seagulls follow leaky Korean trawlers, it’s because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
