Don't expect an iPhone SE successor in 2017
Earlier this year, Apple released the iPhone SE, featuring the iPhone 5’s looks and several components from the more advanced iPhone 6s. It was meant to be a slightly more affordable model for those still wanting a 4-inch display, but avoided being seen as a cheap, entry-level device like the iPhone 5c was. Unfortunately, if you’re among the users that the iPhone SE appealed to, it looks like Apple has no plans for a refresh in the first half of 2017.

AP Samsung is a company that hates to fail. That may seem obvious (who actually revels in failure?), but most companies don't react to setbacks the way Samsung does. The best example? That famous story from 1995 where the company’s chairman set 150,000 defective phones ablaze in a giant bonfire in front of Samsung’s factory in Gumi, South Korea with thousands of employees watching. The demonstration doubled as a dire warning: Don’t let it happen again. Two deca..>> view originalAlexa's human coaches prep its AI software for Election Day
Alexa, the artificial-intelligence software that answers questions posed to Amazon’s Echo line of devices, is studying up on the Nov. 8 election, with some human help; also, Washington-based pizza chain Papa Murphy’s is hurt by election-year advertising costs.
