Brits wanting to buy the new iPhone will have to dig a lot deeper into their pockets. And it’s all down to Brexit. In the U.S., the iPhone 7 will sell for the same amount as the iPhone 6S when it was released – $649 without tax. But the cheapest 32GB…

Donald Trump and his joint committees raised $90 million in August, a substantial haul for a candidate late to fundraising but one that still significantly trails Hillary Clinton’s enormous summer totals.

Good morning, happy Thursday. And, of course, a happy start to the NFL season. The Panthers and Broncos kick off the season tonight on NBC, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ll hold off for now on the Browns/Ravens trash talk — but Week 2 isn’t that far away. Today is going to be muggy — the hottest day we’ve had in a while. Thankfully, a cool-down is on its way this weekend. Here are eight things to know to get your day started. I know what you’re all here for — the iPhone 7. I must admit,…

Apple’s iPhone 7, unveiled today by CEO Tim Cook, is more notable for what it lacks than what it has. As had been rumored, the company has ditched the headphone jack on its latest model in favor of connecting headphones via bluetooth. The company will, however, provide an adapter so folks who don’t want to get rid of their headphones can plug into the phone’s lightning port. So why on earth would anyone want one? Well, the biggest reason is that it’s water resistant. Also, the phones will…

Under Armour Inc., well-known as a maker of athletic apparel and footwear, will travel to Chicago and New York next week to spotlight a new line of fashion-driven American sportswear called UAS. The initials, as one might suspect, stand for “Under Armour Sportswear.” The new line is intended to expand Baltimore-based Under Armour’s brand beyond the gym and into other casual settings and — depending on what kind of workplace one works in — into the office. The new collection will be unveiled…

The American Academy of Pediatricians has recommended against using MedImmune’s FluMist nasal spray vaccine this flu season, delivering yet another blow to one of the Gaithersburg drug maker’s signature products. The AAP’s recommendation, issued Sept. 6, supports a similar one earlier this summer by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices cited data showing poor or relatively low effectiveness of the nasal spray compared with the flu shot…

Is Air China sorry for an article in its in-flight magazine that’s been slammed for “blatant racism”? The article – which warned London visitors about going to neighborhoods with large populations of “Indians, Pakistanis and black people” – set off …

Next Friday, you’ll be able to saunter into your nearest Apple Store and try out the new iPhone models, Apple Watch Series 2, and possibly the new wireless ear buds. (Assuming Apple finds a way to prevent them from being stolen and periodically removes accumulated ear wax.)
