After holding the iPhone 12 Pro for a year, and really preferring it wrapped in a case, I’m very worried about the Apple Watch Series 7 and what is being described as a “dramatic change in design.” The rumor is that the Series 7 will replicate the most distinctive design elements of the iPhone 12 series, the iPad Pro, and the Mac Mini M1 — flat sides and squared-off edges. The Apple Watch Series 6, which shares its design with the Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 5, is almost exactly right in terms of proportions, size, shape, and weight, making it immensely comfortable to wear, while the jewel-like curved case works in all situations and with all outfits. Moving away from the flowing lines may impact all of this,…

This Thursday, September 9, two Russian cosmonauts will venture outside the International Space Station (ISS) to continue preparing the newly arrived Nauka module for science operations. You can watch along at home as they step out of the station and work on the new module, hooking it up to existing systems so it can be integrated into the rest of the station. We’ve got the details on how to watch below. What to expect from the spacewalk The new Russian module for the ISS, Nauka, was launched this summer and, after a dramatic incident in which the module’s thrusters fired unexpectedly, was attached to the station with no further problems. In August, European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet gave a video tour of the new module if you’d like to…

Digital Trends may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site. Typically, when you’re thinking about powering your home sans the grid, you consider using a generator — whether electric or gas — like those you might find in some of the best generator deals. You might also use a solar or renewable energy system, but they come with limited support unless you have a backup battery or power delivery network. That’s where the EcoFlow DELTA Pro portable home battery comes into play. When it releases, it will be the largest capacity battery the company has launched to date, with a 3.6kWh to 25kWh range, which is enough to supply an entire family’s energy needs for emergency use for up to a week.

Bose today unveiled its new QuietComfort 45 headphones — the successors to the highly popular QuietComfort 35 II. Bose is trumpeting simplicity with this new upgrade. The QC45 have just two settings — “Quiet” and “Aware.” Quiet mode is what you’d normally call active noise cancellation, using microphones inside and outside the ear cups to blot out anything other than what you’re wanting to hear from the headphones themselves. And Bose says that the transition from noise to nil is down to a fraction of a millisecond. The Aware mode allows for full sound transparency, where you can hear everything going on outside the headphones as well as what’s being pumped through them. The simplicity transfers into the controls as well. There’s a single button on the left earcup to…

If you fancy a trip to the edge of space with Virgin Galactic but don’t quite have the $450,000 to make it happen, then how about a free flight in exchange for a small (or big) charitable donation? Let us explain. After sending its founder Richard Branson to 282,000 feet above Earth in a recent flight to publicize its upcoming space tourism service, Virgin Galactic announced a raffle offering free seats to a winner and a guest for a future ride aboard its VSS Unity spaceplane.

But you’ll have to hurry as the raffle closes on Wednesday, September 1. “Imagine blasting off to begin an…

The Chinese government is inviting scientists to help build an enormous, 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) long spacecraft that it wants to construct in orbit. The wild concept is to build a giant orbiting craft the size of 10 city blocks from components sent up by rockets one piece at a time. The concept is outlined in a project document from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (in the attachment titled “Guide for major projects of the Ministry of Mathematical Sciences”), which describes how the organization is looking for proposals for constructing an “ultra-large spacecraft with a size of one kilometer,” saying this goal represents “a major strategic aerospace equipment for the future use of space resources, exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and long-term living in orbit.” The…

The Final Fantasy series has spanned decades, with the 16th mainline title announced, plus dozens of spinoff titles across dozens of consoles. The series was one of the first to establish many of the conventions JRPGs would be known for, but also revolutionizing on those systems with nearly every installment. It isn’t just the combat that made this series so popular for all this time, though. The story, worlds, and characters have kept players invested for hundreds of hours. While Final Fantasy remains the biggest name in the JRPG market, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of other high quality games that have a similar feel to these classic adventures. Whether you like the classic turn based battles, more action focused titles, or just want a gripping story to sink…
