It’s that time of year again and the internet is abuzz with speculation around Apple’s latest iPhone event, slated for September 7. And the event, dubbed ‘Far Out’, has the rumor mill churning at full steam. A heavily-rumored astrophotography feature, which is realistically a selling proposition only for a niche consumer segment, has reignited the conversation questioning Apple’s continued innovation. With the seemingly incremental upgrades (along with price increases) iPhones have received for the past several generations, we wanted to ask Apple loyalists how they are feeling about the iPhone 14 rumors and if they plan to upgrade.  

The world of online gaming is bigger than ever. Whether it's on PC or console, online gaming helps us stay connected to our friends and family when we can't be with them in person. This got us wondering: what's the best place for hardcore online gamers to live? To find out, we dug in and looked at things like internet speed, the number of local gaming stores, the cost of a pizza, and of course the overall cost of living, all in the name of ranking the best and worst cities for gamers. 

There are few things more enraging for gamers than a seemingly insurmountable level or an online foe who always has your number at the absolute worst time. Add in some game bugs along with a camper or two, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an angry gamer. But can you guess which gamers are the angriest? Surely you’re already forming your own theory as to which players are the most peeved, but don’t be too sure. To find out the truth, we asked gamers across the US exactly what makes them rage and if it has ever affected their lives in the real world. The answers may surprise you.
