Don’t smash your smartphone tonight, even though you’re 200 percent more likely to

Whatever happens tonight, remember that it’s not worth destroying your phone over. Despite your team fervor, do you really want to experience athletic heartbreak and have to shell out another few hundred bucks to replace the smartphone you just smashed? As it turns out, tonight is one of the most dangerous nights for iPhones, Androids, and other smartphone devices. According to smartphone repair and trade-in company iCracked, if your team loses in the big game, you’re extremely likely to take your anger out on your phone. In fact, you’re three times as likely to destroy your mobile device if your team loses, which is really just rubbing salt into the wound.

It makes sense, of course — all that adrenaline, that alcohol, that almost-there-but-not-quite feeling combines to from a truly lethal situation for your most loyal mobile companion. Consequently, iCracked notes that individuals living in the losing Super Bowl teams’ states ask for smartphone repairs at a rate of nearly 200 percent more on the day after the devastating loss than on any other day.

“When we discovered the pretty hilarious trend, we knew sports fans across the U.S. would relate to the frustration of such a crushing loss,” iCracked cofounder and CEO AJ Forsythe said in a statement. As Mashable reports, the iPhone and Galaxy repair company saw a 176 percent spike in Washington for smartphone requests after the Seattle Seahawks fell to the New England Patriots. And the year before that, when the Denver Broncos lost, Colorado residents needed repairs 184 percent more than usual. So just keep your phone in your pockets today, ok?

To be fair, it’s not just sporting events that Americans lose their minds (and their phones) over, though it is the most pronounced day of smartphone injury. iCracked notes a 68 percent jump in repair requests on December 26, a 51 percent increase in repair requests following July 4, and a 50 percent spike after Halloween. There’s something about merry-making, it seems, that always end in mobile tragedy.

So be smart this year. If your team doesn’t do so well, let it be the only thing that loses on this evening.

2020 showed us you don’t need to spend $1,000 to get a great phone

iPhone 12 mini in hand

Flagship phone prices have skyrocketed over the past few years. While 2016's iPhone 7 started at $649, the next year's iPhone X brought the price of a flagship phone to $999, a price point that has remained in the iPhone lineup since. Other companies have followed suit, with the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Note 20 both costing $999, and more expensive models available, too.

But if there's anything we learned in 2020, it's that you don't have to spend that much cash to get a flagship-level experience. In fact, if you can swing a solid $700 or $750, you'll get a near-identical experience to a $1,000 phone, no matter what kind of phone you prefer.
The best iPhone 12 is also the 'worst' iPhone 12
The iPhone 12 series has received excellent reviews, but the reasons they're getting such good reviews are present on all iPhone 12 models. That's to say, you can get the best new iPhone features on the $699 iPhone 12 Mini and the $1,099+ iPhone 12 Pro Max. Beautiful OLED display? Check. Great cameras? Absolutely. 5G support (though who cares, really)? Yep. That awesome new squared-off design that breathes new life into the iPhone series for the first time since the iPhone X? Present.

Don’t waste your money on iPhone 12 MagSafe accessories

MagSafe iPhone 12 Pro Charge

Apple's MagSafe Charger costs $39 and the clear iPhone 12 case with MagSafe costs $49. Using these two figures and some quick math, I'm in the position to tell you the total amount of money I wasted on MagSafe accessories is $88. MagSafe charging seems like a great idea, but it just doesn't do enough yet to justify this price.

It’s not that MagSafe itself is a poor concept -- it’s not. The puck charges my phone admirably, and the MagSafe case will undoubtedly protect my phone to a degree in the event of a drop. However, a few weeks into ownership, I've not found a compelling reason to use either, especially over any other similar product, which makes me wonder why I bothered at all.
What’s wrong with the MagSafe Charger?
Nothing is wrong with the MagSafe Charger. It’s a small, well-made wireless charging puck that charges my iPhone 12 Pro very efficiently, and will even (slowly) charge non-Apple phones too. When my iPhone is inside the MagSafe case, it snaps on to the puck with a solid thunk, and doesn’t come loose.

With various health tests already requiring a sample of it, we’ve long known that urine isn’t always something that should be simply flushed down the toilet.

The usefulness of one of our body’s waste products has just been highlighted by an international team of researchers that's created a fast urine test capable of measuring the quality of a person’s diet.
