And then you'll have to buy a new one. Which sucks, assuming you'd prefer not to be on the hook for $700 every couple of years—and assuming you'd rather not deplete the planet's limited mineral resources (needed for batteries), or send dangerous e-waste to junk heaps in foreign countries.A new released on Thursday by The Repair Association...…Your iPhone won't last forever, even if you want it to.

After all, why spend $30 on a UHD Blu-Ray disc when you can just stream the content you want to watch from the cloud instead? That said, HDR support across the big-name streaming apps is spotty.

A drive from the nation's capital to Los Angeles usually takes about 40 hours of pure driving — and that's without stopping for charging breaks if you're in an electric vehicle. But on Wednesday, charging network Electrify America finished its first cross-country route with fast-charging available all along the way. That means every 70 miles on the 2,700-mile journey you can find a charger. The best part is that the route on Interstates 15 and 70 includes super-fast chargers at public stations. recharging cars at speeds up to 350 kilowatts.
