Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Ahead of the fourth Starship test flight and after stacking the second stage Starship spaceship on the Super Heavy booster in Boca Chica, Texas, SpaceX conducted a wet dress rehearsal of its rockets earlier today. Before a test launch, SpaceX fills up the two rockets with their propellants to evaluate their performance ahead of flight. These tests allow it to certify the rockets' multiple systems to ensure that they will be able to handle the high propellant pressures on the day of flight. A fuel up, which might also be a wet dress rehearsal, is not indicative of an imminent […]
SpaceX's Starship rocket will launch in June, according to its head of Starbase operations, Kathy Leuders. Leuders shared the latest updates for the Starship program earlier this week in Texas, soon after which SpaceX stacked the ship on the booster at the launch tower in Starbase. Starship's fourth test flight comes right as SpaceX demolishes a ship test pad close to the launch pad, in what appears to be an attempt to fully utilize the hardware rich aspect of its rocket development program. According to Leuders, SpaceX is yet to receive the FAA's launch license for Starship IFT-4, and the […]
In the wake of the massive geomagnetic storm that stunned global observers, a SpaceX executive shared on X earlier today that the batch of Starlink direct to cell satellites launched just before the storm are now raising their orbits. The latest launch came immediately after a Falcon 9 rocket sent another batch of these satellites to space, and after SpaceX shared that all satellites in orbit had managed to survive the storm. The direct to cell (D2C) satellites have been launched with T-Mobile as part of Starlink and the carrier's partnership to make cellular coverage available in far flung and […]
After SpaceX shipped its IFT-4 booster to the launch pad and static fired a new Starship for the first time earlier this week, Elon Musk has confirmed the fourth Starship test flight's delay on X. After the previous Starship test took place in March, SpaceX was quick to give a launch date, which would have meant a rapid drop in the turnaround time for the world's largest rocket since IFT-2 flew after a considerable delay. IFT-2 was followed by the third test four months later, and a May launch would have cut this time in half. Starship IFT-4 Can Take […]
After the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned the public yesterday that one of the severest geomagnetic storms in the past two decades would start manifesting itself in the form of an aurora over the northern region of the United States last night, Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet constellation was facing the heat as well. Starlink, made of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) has battled such storms before, but according to Musk, this appears to be one of the strongest such crises that the network has faced. SpaceX Faces The Heat From […]
With rapid Falcon 9 launches and Starship development in Texas taking place in the background, SpaceX shared fresh details for its upcoming record-setting private astronaut mission under the Polaris program yesterday. The Polaris Dawn mission, which is a four-crew complement led by billionaire Jared Issacman, is currently due to fly to space in the summer, and Isaacman, along with SpaceX representatives, shared details of the flight and mission profile during a chat on social media yesterday. At the event, SpaceX's Ana Menon outlined that her firm aims to test human performance for Mars missions as part of a journey that […]
