iOS 10.3 is freeing up extra storage space, users say

Finally, an update that actually gives you storage space back.

Apple launched its latest software update, iOS 10.3, on Monday. The update comes with new features like "Find My AirPods," but users seem to be noticing an added bonus: It's allegedly freeing up their storage space.

There could be a number of reasons for the storage freeing up. iOS 10.3 contains an update to the file system that the software uses to store all your phone's data. It's also possible that the new OS is just smaller in size than the previous one, or that rebooting your phone and clearing caches always makes it a bit snappier and frees up some storage.

Either way, we're not complaining!

New photos show Tesla's massive Nevada factory is coming along

'Guess we shouldn't be too surprised that the what's going to be world's largest factory...continues to get larger. Tesla's Gigafactory, a gleaming white structure amid the muted browns surrounding Reno, Nevada, seems to be coming along, according to photos snapped by NM Group, a company that describes itself as specializing in "surveying and mapping, asset modeling and management, and engineering." The group was recently mapping the area for potential power lines on behalf of an electricity company, according to Tim Hustwayte, a senior client manager based in the United Kingdom. The route took them close to the Gigafactory, and they got some shots that appear to show the factory having bulked up since Tesla's battery cell began rolling off production lines at the start of the year. The Gigafactory employed nearly 3,000 people at the start of the year, less than half of how many people are expected to be employed there...

Samsung's Galaxy S8 has a killer feature that nobody's talking about

Samsung's Galaxy S8 is packed full of awesome new features like the new larger screen, face recognition and Bixby AI assistant. But there's one pretty killer feature on the phone Samsung didn't bother to mention at its Unpacked event on Wednesday. That feature: a built-in GIF maker. It's not like the Smart Select GIF maker that first appeared on the Galaxy Note 7 and later trickled to Samsung's Galaxy Tab A and Galaxy Tab S3. It's even better. Located within the Gallery app's video section is a little GIF-creation tool that lets you convert a section of any video (even ones you record) into an animated GIF. Unlike the the Smart Select feature on the Note 7, you don't need to manually select a specific area on the screen to capture. Just open up a video within the Gallery app, tap on the GIF icon, and then move the slider along the bottom to select the section of the video you want to convert into a GIF — and that's it!...
