Illustration by Laura Normand / The Verge Elon Musk is going to spend the rest of this week stumping for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a battleground state that could decide the fate of the 2024 presidential election. Tomorrow night through Monday, I will be giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania.If you’d like to attend one of my talks, there’s no attendance fee. You just need to have signed our petition supporting free speech & right to bear arms & have voted in this election. https://t.co/2cjdY7oPtB— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 16, 2024 Musk won’t be giving public speeches. Instead, he said he’ll be holding a “series of talks” in the swing state, which will be free to attend for anyone who has voted in the election and signed a petition being... Continue reading…

Anker’s new car charger will supposedly deliver up to 75W of power. | Image: Reddit A reliable leaker has shared details and an image of an unannounced car charger from Anker that would be the first from the company to feature a retractable USB-C cable. As the proud owner of an eight-year-old minivan lacking modern amenities like built-in USB ports, this would be a welcome alternative to a glove box stuffed full of unraveled charging cables. The new Anker Nano car charger, which plugs into a vehicle’s auxiliary power outlet, will reportedly deliver up to 75W of power shared between a 30W USB-C port, and a 45W retractable cable with a USB-C connector on the end that’s almost 30 inches long, according to Reddit user joshuadwx. Pricing is expected to be somewhere between $30 an $40, while availability could be either later... Continue reading…

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Users on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac are having trouble downloading apps from Apple’s App Store right now. When users tap “Get” to download an app, the icon swirls briefly to indicate that it’s loading, but then it reverts to “Get,” leaving them unable to install the app they want. Reports of App Store issues are starting to mount on social media. Meanwhile, several of us here at The Verge, including in the US and Europe, aren’t able to download apps, either. Judging by DownDetector’s App Store outage chart, it looks like issues started to emerge around 11AM ET. Even though users are experiencing issues downloading apps, the App Store can still update apps that are already installed. Apple’s status page still indicates that its App Store...

I'm a big fan of data security in a world where hacks happen constantly, with complex account takeover scams now assisted by AI. It's not just about securing apps and logins with strong, unique passwords — it's also about protecting the main computer in my life, my smartphone. I hope I won't have to, but I'm already prepared to deal with having my iPhone stolen. The handset is protected by a password and Face ID, various apps are also protected, and I employ all of Apple's security features to help enhance my security. I track the iPhone, and I can wipe it remotely. I also have backups of my data, and Activation Lock prevents hackers from getting into the handset even after it is wiped. A security feature Google started testing during the Android 15 beta phase also caught my attention. Google is using AI to determine whether a phone was just stolen and lock the device. The feature is called Theft Detection Lock, and you should enable it the first chance you get. Theft Detection Lock is part of the big Android 15 update and Pixel Drop that Google released on Tuesday. But the best part about the feature is that you don't need Android 15 to run it. It'll work on Android devices running Android 10 or later, which should cover about 90% of Android devices that are currently in use. Continue reading...

The App Store is currently down, and iPhone users are complaining about this outage. According to DownDetector, people have been having issues with Apple's marketplace since 10:30 a.m. ET. The store is accessible, and app pages can be opened, but apps cannot be installed on iPhones and iPads. Users report that app updates are not being downloaded either, though available updates appear on the Updates tab. BGR has confirmed the issues on several iOS devices. Currently, Apple only recognizes problems with the Subscription Purchase and Volume Purchase Program, which indicates that people can't sign in. However, the company says the App Store is working. https://twitter.com/stfuha33y/status/1846567643974615155 Yesterday, Apple released macOS Sequoia 15.1 beta 7. However, this build became unavailable for a few hours because Apple's servers experienced an outage. It's unclear if both issues could be related. Still, it's weird that a few hours later, the App Store also suffered from issues. With today's problem, users can't download new apps, view their purchase history, or update the software. What happened is unclear. BGR will let you know once the service is back up or if Apple recognizes this issue.
