    Bad title. $599 is not $500, it’s $600. That’s exactly why everything is priced ending in -99 though, people only look at the numbers before it.

    No, it’s not a win. Too many iPhones. Too many problems. Stop doing brainless ads and get back to the useful journalism you used to be known for.

    I got the 13 Pro Max when it first released and been regretting it since due to how heavy and big it is. I travel often and I will not be staying with the Pro Max line.

    iPhone 17e and Pro max don’t share the same demographic at all, this video is useless and would have been a lot more interesting if it was 17 vs 17e.

  23. @SoteroMurguia

    Seems like most people will be able to do what they need to do with the 17e. I would consider switching to the 17e now that it has MagSafe.

    I have a $70 phone I got at Walmart that does everything I need: it makes phone calls, text messages, and runs apps. It can also take pictures. Paying hundreds of dollars for a phone is asinine.

      Just say you are okay with low standards, not everyone is like that though

    • @omgitshere

      April 30, 2026 at 2:44 am

      @ronaldmcdonald6067 I don’t think they’re low standards, at all. They’re practical standards that meet everyday needs of everyday people. Very few people need the ultra fancy camera functions of high-end iPhone models, people just like to cosplay as professional photographers or artists, when really a basic photo will do.

    • @Jay-k1t8t

      April 30, 2026 at 8:06 am

      ​@omgitsheresome people want nicer photos. Budget phones have really terrible cameras that struggle. You recognise your own needs but struggle to understand that people outside your world have other needs.

      New tech barely trickles down, an old used flagship would still be infinitely better than the instant landfill device you got.

    The better comparison would have been the 17e vs the 17 because anybody who is contemplating buying the 17e is definitely not looking at a pro Max.

    Pro Max? Nah. Huge phones are a cancer. Bring back the mini.

Mythology expert and Professor of classics Peter Meineck deep dives into all 48 of the constellations the ancient Greeks used in the night sky. From maritime navigation to agriculture and timekeeping, Meineck explains how eight main groupings of constellations were tracked in the night sky—and how they translate to today’s mythological storytelling.

Check out Peter’s book here:

WIRED recommends:

What do Iron Man and Odysseus have in common? The book traces Marvel’s intricate universe back to its earliest mythological roots. Meineck uses beloved heroes like Spider-Man and antiheroes like Deadpool to demonstrate how ancient themes persist in today’s pop culture. He draws compelling parallels, connecting Black Panther to the legend of Atlantis and revealing how disabled heroes like Daredevil have archetypes dating back to Hercules. The book explores the shared struggles of characters like Scarlet Witch and the sorceress Medea, showing how these timeless narratives have shifted to reflect society’s changing values.
