This year\u2019s update to the vanilla Apple smartphone brings a lot of bang for your buck. That includes a substantially upgraded camera sensor (12-megapixel up to 48-megapixel), four new pastel-hued colors (even if our reviewer wasn\u2019t a fan, I think they\u2019re gorgeous) and USB-C. With the iPhone 15, Apple offers enough to make this year\u2019s device a worthwhile upgrade \u2014 that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:8;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/apple-iphone-15-review-the-most-substantial-update-to-the-regular-iphone-in-years-173204712.html\"><strong>Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p \/>\n<h2><a data-i13n=\"cpos:9;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/how-hackers-are-using-bluetooth-to-track-police-activity-140012717.html\">\u200b\u200bHow hackers are using Bluetooth to track police activity<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Devices are \u2018constantly shouting\u2019 about what cops are up to, hackers said.<\/h3>\n<p \/>\n<p>Law enforcement uses all sorts of tech to track individuals, but some people are using technology to listen back. Bluetooth devices have a unique 64-bit identifier called a MAC address, and those signals reveal where police are \u2013 and even when they activate devices like body cams or Tasers. Modern police kits are overflowing with Bluetooth-enabled tech \u2014 even the gun holsters supplied to some cops send a Bluetooth ping when a sidearm is unholstered.

Just a month ago, Unity rolled out some significant concessions to its developer pricing model after widespread backlash over its plan to charge developers for game installations. The upheaval came simultaneously as a series of massive layoffs at the company. Unity expects third-quarter revenue to fall somewhere between $540 million to $550 million \u2014 up 67 to 70 percent from last year.<\/p>\n<p><a data-i13n=\"cpos:12;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/unity-ceo-john-riccitiello-stepping-down-effective-immediately-231422660.html\"><strong>Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p \/>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/the-morning-after-our-verdict-on-the-meta-quest-3-111611006.html?src=rss&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Engadget &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/the-morning-after-our-verdict-on-the-meta-quest-3-111611006.html?src=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Morning After: Our verdict on the Meta Quest 3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The $500 Meta Quest 3 won\u2019t tempt over as many VR newcomers as the Quest 2, but it\u2019s still a solid step forward for Meta.
