So many games release these days that it’s nearly impossible for a week, let along a month, to go by without something that’s worth playing releasing. If you need any evidence of that, just look to my current video game backlog.

Considering Apple is making a$6,000 computer, you might not think it would worry about a price hike for the iPhone. But Foxconn, which manufactures many of Apple’s phones, says it could move production out of China if the U.S. puts more tariffs on the country as part of an escalating trade war. “Twenty-five percent of our production capacity is outside of China, and we can help Apple respond to its needs in the U....
