The iPhone Fold (or is it the iPhone Ultra?) won't be arriving until at least September, but early leaks of Apple's foldable show a wider design than typical foldable phones.
The global smartphone market is already adapting to offer similar designs, and Samsung is rumored to be releasing a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide model in July to compete with the foldable iPhone. However, Chinese smartphone brand Huawei has beaten them both to the punch with the April 20 launch of the Huawei Pura X Max, which officially ushered in the era of the wide foldable.
Now, YouTuber Vincent Zhong has posted an unboxing video showing an up-close look at the new Huawei foldable. The video is titled "HUAWEI Pura X Max hands on: the foldable iPhone will look just like this!"
The iPhone Fold is rumored to have a roughly 7.8-inch internal, foldable OLED display and a 5.5-inch outer OLED display, making it noticeably wider than most foldable phones. The Huawei Pura X Max has a 7.7-inch internal display and a 5.4-inch external display, as well as the rounded edges seen in alleged iPhone Fold leaks.
As a result, the smartphone in Zhong's video should closely resemble the first-ever Apple foldable, if the leaks prove true.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed."It can't really be called 'thin and light,' after all, it is a relatively large-screen foldable," Zhong says in the video, according to YouTube's translation of the video transcript.
"But the in-hand feel is excellent. You can see here, my thumb can reach from the second app on the left all the way to the top. Its width is designed so that when the large screen is opened, it's similar to — it can be similar to an iPad mini, forming a small vertical tablet."

Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 77-inch S90F OLED 4K TV $1,897.99 at AmazonIf you prioritize picture quality above all else in your TV buying journey, the Samsung S90F OLED 4K TV is tough to beat — especially when you find it on sale.
As of April 20, Amazon slashed the cost of the 77-inch model down to just $1,897.99. According to the original listing on Samsung's website, it's actually a $3,499.99 TV. So technically, you're saving $1,602 (not $600, as the Amazon listing shows) and it's even more on sale than Amazon is letting on. At over 45% off, it's the cheapest we've ever seen this particular model.
Mashable's sister site CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) tested the Samsung S90F and dubbed it the "best OLED TV for most users" as well as "the holy grail for gamers." With its deep black levels and rich colors, the OLED panel is stellar for watching movies. Even if you're having a marathon of old lower-resolution films or TV shows, an AI processor will upscale the content to look the best it can. It offers support for 144Hz VRR, which means there's minimal lag time and no screen tearing when you're playing your favorite games or watching sports.
It lacks a few of the upgraded specs from the more expensive S95F, like a glare-free coating and Dolby Vision HDR, but its price to picture quality ratio makes up for it. At full cost, it's out of most people's price range, but with a $1,602 price cut, this is one of the best big screen TVs you can buy. Grab the Samsung 77-inch S90F OLED 4K TV for just under $1,900 while you can.

Tim Cook, age 65, just named the date of his retirement ... sorta. The Apple CEO is stepping back this fall to become "executive chairman," the company announced Monday.
Surprising exactly no one who was paying attention, the company also announced the name of the executive who will take the CEO role starting this fall: John Ternus, Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering.
The transition from the Cook era to the Ternus era was approved unanimously by the Apple board, the company said.
"I love Apple with all of my being," Cook said in the announcement — and pivoted quickly to praising his successor.
"John Ternus has the mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator, and the heart to lead with integrity and with honor," Cook wrote. "He is a visionary whose contributions to Apple over 25 years are already too numerous to count, and he is without question the right person to lead Apple into the future."
Cook sought to assure investors that he'd still be involved, as the $3 trillion company makes its first CEO transition since Steve Jobs bowed out prior to his death in 2011.
SEE ALSO: Apple reboots the Steve Jobs reality distortion field"I look forward to working closely with [Ternus] on this transition and in my new role as executive chairman," Cook wrote.
Apple's announcement, surprising only in its timing, spent most of its paragraphs — nine out of 14 — talking about Cook's achievements (including the reduction of Apple's carbon footprint).
But more than a third of it was devoted to introducing Ternus, who is still not widely known despite overseeing the development of the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and AirPods, among many other Apple hits. In his comments, Ternus was keen to stress continuity.
"I have been lucky to have worked under Steve Jobs and to have had Tim Cook as my mentor," Ternus said. "I am humbled to step into this role, and I promise to lead with the values and vision that have come to define this special place for half a century."
Ternus added that he was "filled with optimism about what we can achieve in the years to come."
The stock market didn't exactly agree or disagree with Ternus on that score. Apple stock dipped in after-hours trading on the announcement of Cook's retirement, but reversed nearly all of those losses within an hour.
If it seems like products are usually cheaper on Amazon than at retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, and Chewy, that's no accident. According to a bombshell filing in an ongoing antitrust lawsuit from the state of California on Monday, each of those companies was a victim of Amazon's illegal price fixing.
Amazon, which topped Walmart to become the U.S.'s largest retailer in 2025, got there in part with a pattern of bullying and colluding, the filing says. In some cases it outlines in detail, merchants such as Levi Strauss and Allergan were told by Amazon to make products (such as khaki pants and eye drops) more expensive at Walmart.
SEE ALSO: Tired of Amazon Prime? Best Buy's annual membership is on sale for just $25In other cases, Amazon leaned on rivals directly, as when it allegedly forced Home Depot to raise its fertilizer prices so Amazon would be cheaper. And in all cases, California appears to have brought receipts in the form of emails.
"The company is price fixing, colluding with vendors and other retailers to raise costs for Americans beyond what the market requires," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. "Amazon is illegally working to rake in the profits by making sure consumers have nowhere else to turn to for lower prices."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Amazon denies the charges and is vigorously contesting multiple price-fixing lawsuits. In its statement, the online retailer emphasized its "pride" in having the lowest prices across a broad range of products.
But if these emails are to be believed, Amazon's pride is the pride of a mob boss with mighty companies under their thumb.
"I'm really hoping we can show this as a proof case so we can resolve issues going forward," one Levi's employee wrote meekly to an Amazon executive, according to the filing. Amazon had expressed "concern" that Walmart was selling Levi's khakis for just over $25. Levi's then allegedly persuaded Walmart to raise the pants' prices by nearly $5.
Even if true, however, the wheels of justice are grinding slow on this one. Bonta's antitrust lawsuit was filed in 2022; a trial will not take place until January 2027 at the earliest. It remains to be seen if the bad publicity from this filing will have any effect on consumers, many of whom shrug and plan their next Amazon delivery regardless of price-fixing news.
Apple's first foldable iPhone, unofficially dubbed the iPhone Fold, is expected to debut in September. Now new leaks show how the phone will likely differ from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup.
Apple is several years late to the foldable smartphone market, but don't count Apple out based on speed. After all, the company was late to MP3 players and smartphones — and the iPod and iPhone were the results.
Leakers with decent track records are showing dummy cases for the iPhone Fold on X. And that gives us a clear sense of how this foldable will set itself apart from the competition.

iPhone Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: Design differencesMost flagship foldables have roughly the same width and length as a regular smartphone when folded, but earlier leaks suggest Apple has adopted a wider design.
You can see that in the latest photos of alleged iPhone Fold dummy units and cases, from @MajinBuofficia on X (via Android Authority).

Recent leaks from Android Headlines show what the Fold Wide could look like. Still, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will likely retain a similar design and proportions as last year's Z Fold 7.
Square edges on last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7. Credit: Joe Maldonado / MashableEarly photos of the Z Fold 8 lineup show phones with sharper corners, like the Z Fold 7, while Apple appears to be embracing more rounded edges.
Both phones are expected to be ultra-thin, with an unfolded width under 5 mm, just like the Z Fold 7.
Samsung and Apple foldables: Other key differencesApple will reportedly place the volume buttons on the top edge of the iPhone Fold, with a power and Touch ID button expected along the right edge.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 unfolded. Credit: Joe Maldonado / Mashable A hypothetical rendering of the iPhone Fold. Credit: MashableThe iPhone Fold will be running iOS (presumably iOS 27), while the Galaxy foldables will be running the latest version of Android.
More importantly, the iPhone Fold appears to have only two rear cameras, while the Z Fold 8 is expected to have three rear cameras. Leaks of the Z Fold Wide show two cameras, matching the iPhone Fold.
The iPhone Fold could have one big advantage over the Galaxy Z Fold 8 — it will fit more easily in pockets.
In design, Apple's device sits somewhere between flip-style foldables and tablet-style foldables. Overall, it looks more like the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which wasn't particularly well-received by our reviewer — or by the tech world at large.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Againm we're mostly working from leaks and rumors at this point, and we don't know what we don't know. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a highly trusted name in this realm, recently reported that the iPhone Fold is on track for a 2026 launch, while the new Galaxy Z Fold smartphones are rumored to launch July 22.

For book fans, book-to-screen adaptations can be a sore subject of changed endings and miscastings. But authors aren't as precious about them. In the final panel of BookCon 2026, authors Andy Weir (Project Hail Mary, The Martian), Emily St. John Mandel (Station Eleven), May Cobb (The Hunting Wives), and Robinne Lee (The Idea of You) were joined by moderator Jason Blitman (host and producer of the Gays Reading podcast) to discuss the the joys and limitations of bringing a book to the screen.
Cutting straight to the heart of the topic, Blitman kicked things off with the ultimate question: What makes a successful adaptation? Across the panel, there have been varied adaptations. Weir's Project Hail Mary and Cobb's The Hunting Wives had mostly faithful adaptations, while The Idea of You and Station Eleven are larger departures from the source material.
St. John Mandel answered regarding the adaptation of Station Eleven, saying, "They changed every single plot, but they did retain the spirit of the original."
Lee added, "How can I be true to what readers fell in love with and still create something that's going to appeal to a wider audience?"
A potentially surprising sentiment shared by all four authors is that, regardless of their involvement in the adaptations, there was a lack of preciousness toward the projects. That's not to be confused with enthusiasm, however, as everyone on the panel echoed wanting to be champions and cheerleaders for the adaptations.
Novels, television, and movies are such widely different media that change is inevitable in an adaptation, as Weir says, "There are things you can do in a visual medium that are very difficult to do in a narrative medium."
On screen, when you don't need to spend pages filling in interiority or describing scenes and settings, there's room to play and expand characters. Cobb found this to be true in The Hunting Wives as "The husband that takes out the trash is now running for governor."
Lee made the most apt analogy of the panel, saying, "You are going to look at your book as your baby, but you have to look at any adaptation as a kind of distant relative." She went on to say, "When you go to that adaptation, suddenly other people are taking it over, and people are owning those characters. People judging the film, to me, doesn't feel as personal. It doesn't feel like a judgment of my work."
While there's often an adversarial relationship between fans and adaptations of their favorite books, authors enter these projects with an open mind. "I feel like I'm almost like pathologically welcoming of changes in the adaptation process," said St. John Mandel.
Cobb, who first met The Hunting Wives producer, Rebecca Cutter, when she came to visit Texas, recalls driving through the back woods of East Texas. She said Cutter pitched Cobb on her vision for the TV show, describing how she wanted to change the ending, which Cobb met with excitement, saying, "Where were you when I was writing the book?"
In fact, Weir said in his book Artemis, which has been on the adaptation backburner for several years, that when there is movement on the project, he has a list of changes ready to go: "I have identified a bunch of problems in Artemis that I feel are places where the writing is weak. I'm gonna give the directors and the people who are pitching it to studios, I'm going to give a bullet point list of an alternate plot sequence for Artemis."
The panel was the final of BookCon, which returns in 2027 on April 10 and 11.

SEE ALSO: 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' trailer promises plenty of Star Wars-level actionThe witches at the heart of 1998's Practical Magic return for a sequel almost 30 years in the making, directed by Susanne Bier and written by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. Practical Magic 2 is based on the final novel in Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series, The Book of Magic.
Practical Magic 2 takes place 25 years after the first film. By this point, Sally and Gillian (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman) are still practicing magic in Massachusetts alongside their aunts Frances and Jet (Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest). They're also still cursed when it comes to matters of love.
Taking an even bigger role in Practical Magic 2 are Sally's daughters, played by Joey King and Maisie Williams. In the original film, the characters of Kylie and Antonia Owens were played by Evan Rachel Wood and Alexandra Artrip. Wood confirmed she was not asked to return for the sequel, and that the role was being recast.
As Sally's daughters' begins to develop, ancient family secrets come to light that will force three generations of Owens sisters to fight back against their ancestral curse. Their journey will take them from Massachusetts to the United Kingdom.
The teaser trailer for Practical Magic 2 is full of Practical Magic greatest hits, including Harry Nilsson's song "Coconut," which plays during the midnight margaritas scene in the first film. It also introduces new characters, including Lee Pace as a new companion for Sally and Gillian's travels.
Practical Magic 2 hits theaters Sept. 11.

Opens in a new window Credit: Roborock Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow robot vacuum and mop $899.99 at AmazonMashable's resident vacuum expert Lead Stodart has tested over 25 models of robot vacuums that also mop. She hadn't written off robot vacuums that have a roller mop, but she was yet to be impressed by performance. However, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 impressed, and lucky for us, it's on sale today.
As of April 20, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow robot vacuum and mop is on sale at Amazon for $899.99, marked down from the usual price of $999.99. That's a 10% discount that takes $100 off the price.
In Stodart's testing of the new Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, it did a damn fine job at every challenge she tossed its way. While it has 20,000Pa suction power, it picked up sprinkles off a deep carpet as efficiently as the 35,000Pa Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete. "Though the Dreame vacuum is significantly stronger with 35,000 Pa of suction power, I honestly think that the Curv 2 Flow did just as good a job — the pickup rate of both was almost perfect. When I got down on eye level to see if the Curv 2 Flow cleaned up crushed chips on my tufted living room rug, it was spotless aside from a single long hair," noted Stodart.
SEE ALSO: Narwal Flow 2 robot vacuum review: The most insightful AI mess detection yet for a decent priceThe roller mop was also impressive in its ability to clean corners, something that doesn't seem physically possible with a robot roller. "The roller sits in a sliding case that visibly extends an inch or two past the vacuum's circumference when an edge is sensed," according to Stodart. "The Curv 2 Flow has provided an extremely close scrub against walls, including the wall of my bathtub, where there are always tiny pieces of hair and kitty litter dust stuck in dried soap droplets."
While this powerful do-it-all model is sitting at a sale price, offload the task of cleaning the floors and enlist the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow robot vacuum and mop to handle the job.
When Apple revealed its colorful new budget laptop, the MacBook Neo, to the world earlier this year, I predicted Apple would sell millions of them. (Ten million, by some counts.)
Less than two months later, 9To5Mac reports that Apple has sold out its April supply of the MacBook Neo, with the $599 MacBook Neo backordered until May. While you can still find the MacBook Neo in stock at Amazon and Best Buy, rumor has it that after selling out its initial stock, Apple was forced to place rush orders with its manufacturers earlier this month.
The MacBook Neo has an unbeatable price for its feature set, and students and educators can get the laptop for just $499 by taking advantage of the Apple Store's education offer. (That might be why the laptop is backordered at Apple but still available elsewhere.) A version with Touch ID and 512GB of storage is available for $699, or $599 with education pricing.
As I explained in my MacBook Neo review, this laptop has no true competitor. Windows laptops and Chromebooks at that price point have much weaker displays, speakers, and overall specs — and that's before you factor in the Apple status symbol and cool factor as well.
So, if you can't get your hands on the MacBook Neo or prefer Windows, what should you buy instead? All of these MacBook Neo alternatives come with some tradeoffs, but they won't break your budget or slow you down too much.
Your best bet: Wait for more inventoryHonestly, unless you prefer Windows or need a gaming laptop, we recommend waiting until the MacBook Neo is available again at the Apple Store. And if you don't qualify for education pricing, you can still find the Neo in stock at Amazon and Best Buy, for now.
Apple MacBook Neo, 13 inches (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $589.99 at AmazonLast week, Microsoft released a new savings offer for college students that seems designed to compete with MacBook Neo shoppers. Microsoft recently raised prices on its Microsoft Surface devices, and has no true competitor to the Neo. However, this offer does come with a lot of perks for students.
When you buy a Windows 11 laptop, the company will also give you one year of Microsoft 365 Premium, one year of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and an Xbox Wireless Controller for free, a more than $500 value.
The offer includes popular cheap laptops like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x and the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop. (See all offers at the Microsoft store.)

It's also a 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a touchscreen, so if offers more versatility than a MacBook. In terms of spec, you also get more RAM and a larger display, though you'll lost out on the MacBook Neo speakers and Retina display.
Again, if you had your heart set on the MacBook Neo, we'd recommend waiting until it's back in stock at Apple or shopping through Amazon in the meantime.

Best Apple alternative: The M1 MacBook AirIn our performance tests, the new MacBook Neo's A18 Pro chip performed almost exactly like the original M1 chip on the Geekbench 6 benchmark test. The M1 MacBook Air was also one of the most award-winning laptops ever, and while it's no longer officially sold, you can still find it in stock at Walmart. However, you can grab it refurbished at Amazon and Best Buy for under $500, which is the most we'd pay for this old model.
The M1 chip is ancient compared to the new M5 chips, but it holds up surprisingly well given its age. There's a reason Apple silicon has been so disruptive in the laptop market.
Don't forget: Because this laptop is six years old, it won't be supported with updates for as long as a newly designed device.

Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony WF-1000XM6 $298 at AmazonAs a headphones reviewer, I get plenty experience testing out the latest and greatest audio has to offer. As a budget-buys lover, I don't always see the point of increasingly high price points.
Then, I tried the Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds. At $329.99, these earbuds aren't cheap, sitting at an even higher price than Bose's flagship earbuds and the Technics EAH-AZ1000, another Mashable favorite. However, as of April 20, the Sony buds are down to a slightly better $298, marking a return to their lowest price ever.
Don't get me wrong — I get that $300 isn't exactly chump change. That said, I consider these earbuds an investment for anyone who wants the absolute best blend of sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. To be clear, I still think the Bose QC Ultra 2 buds lead the category on the comfort scale, but between the best noise cancellation and sound I've tried on a pair of earbuds, I get why these are priced the way they are.
SEE ALSO: Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) vs. Sony WH-1000xM6: Which headphones should you buy?As these are Sony buds, the companion app also offers great customization, with a 10-band equalizer for finding the sound that's just right.

I loved the XM6 earbuds when I first reviewed them earlier this year, and I continue to love them months later. Unless the audio space throws a real curveball, I imagine these will be one of the best releases of the year.

Weighing in at just half a pound, the DJI Mini 3 is true to its name. It folds up to an even more compact size for transport. It captures 4K HDR video and its innovative gimbal design allows for true vertical shooting and dynamic angles. Translation: you'll be able to snap some truly epic shots for social media. You'll get about 38 minutes of flight time before you need a charge or battery swap, but you can extend that to up to 51 minutes if you purchase the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus (sold separately).
The Mini 3 is level 5 wind-resistant, so you can still take flight and capture footage in less than ideal conditions. Plus, intelligent features like auto takeoff, RTH (return to home), and precise hovering help beginners get started without a steep learning curve.

A world half-marathon record was broken at a race in China this weekend. But the winner wasn't an Olympian or even a competitive racer. It was a bright red humanoid robot. Nickname? Lightning.
The autonomous robot was competing in a robot versus human half-marathon race in Beijing, China, an annual event featuring the country's top robotics companies in a foot race test against their human counterparts.
SEE ALSO: Tariff refund site: What it is, how to use itLightning was built by Honor, a Chinese robotics and smartphone maker. The company tested other running robot variants at the race, including the bots that took home second- and third-place titles.
Mashable got an early look at Honor's new line of AI-powered humanoid bots at the latest Mobile World Congress. The bots had an impressive stability (many of these two-legged bots are prone to tumbling) and even a crowd-pleasing dance performance. The company also debuted a new "Robot Phone," featuring a robotic eye and arm that juts out from the smartphone to take photos and respond to requests.
During Sunday's race, the company showed that the new era of humanoid robots aren't just dancers, but competitive athletes, with Lightning taking home the gold in a 50-minute and 26-second sprint — that's six minutes quicker than the fastest human and nearly two hours faster than its time in last year's race. Honor engineers explained that the robot's fast upgrade came from modeling its design after top athletes, including elongated legs and an internal liquid-cooling system.

Lightning's record-breaking win was taken as a sign that the country's investments may be paying off.
Still, many of the robots needed assistance to cross the finish line. In addition to starting line stumbles and a few falls, about 60 percent of the competing bots were remotely operated by their human teams.

Save 42%: As of April 20, you can grab a four-pack of first generation Apple AirTags on sale for $56.99 at Woot. This sale slashes their price down $42.01 from $99.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTags, first generation (4-pack) $56.99 at WootSometimes, shopping in the off-season can get you the best deals on a product (think space heater in the middle of summer). And sometimes, as is the case with this Apple deal, products go on sale at the perfect time.
Just in time for spring and summer travel, a four-pack of the first generation Apple AirTags are on sale at Woot for $56.99. That comes out to just $14.25 per AirTag, compared to the $29 a single AirTag will run you. It's also the best price we've ever seen on the Bluetooth trackers, besting their record-low of $59.99 they hit in March.
SEE ALSO: Apple AirPods Max 2 review: Same great style with the tiniest of upgradesOf course, a Bluetooth tracker can be useful year-round, not just during travel season. AirTags are small enough to be slipped in your purse, wallet, on a keychain, and for some people, even as a collar for their pets. A new generation of AirTags did just hit the market in February, but in comparing the two generations side by side, Mashable's Stan Schroeder found that the differences between the two trackers weren't vast, with the first generation especially reigning superior for older iPhone compatibility.
The newer trackers have a better tracking range, and a louder signal. Still, it's hard to beat value, and at this sale price, the first generation AirTags are undeniably offering that.
The dating app Tinder wants more women on the platform, its CEO said.
"Winning women is critical to us," Spencer Rascoff, who joined Tinder's parent company, Match Group, last year and also took the helm of Tinder in July 2025, told the Financial Times in an interview published Sunday.
SEE ALSO: App fatigue is real. I tested the best dating apps of 2026 to find the ones that really work.Rascoff continued that reaching "gender parity is very challenging, but we absolutely need to do a better job of driving outcomes for women, and when we do that, more women will choose to use our apps."
Tinder's user gender split isn't public, but 2022 Pew Research Center data found that 34 percent of American men said they've used a dating site or app, compared to 27 percent of American women. Around 75 percent of Tinder users are male, according to data insights website Demandsage.
Seeing as Tinder's direct revenue and paying users have decreased year-over-year both in 2024 and 2025, Rascoff has been working to reverse that trend. Shortly before he joined the app last year, he said he wanted to move Tinder away from its "hookup reputation" to attract Gen Z, a generation known for not wanting to participate in "hookup culture."
Featured Video For You My awkward first date with an AI companionRascoff also told Financial Times that Match's board has given him leeway to prioritize investments in new products and advertising, and now he's trying to increase the total number of people on Tinder as opposed to solely focusing on increasing paid users, as he figures the more people use the app, a segment would decide to pay for it.
He also bucked the notion that people have swiped left on dating apps entirely. "It's ridiculous to say people don’t like dating apps," he said. "That's just not true, people don’t like dating apps that are ineffective."
While dating app users themselves may disagree, as fatigue and cynicism for dating apps have been increasing over the past few years, one Match Group property keeps rising: Hinge. While Tinder's direct revenue and paying users have declined, Hinge's have risen in both 2024 and 2025.
The interview comes weeks after Tinder announced a suite of new features, including an AI-driven matchmaker called Chemistry.
