While the big news of the day is Apple's cheap-yet-powerful new iPhone SE, I'm waiting to see how much interest there is in the other product it's putting on sale. Apple opened pre-orders for its new iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, which makes the slate an even more powerful competitor for traditional laptops, if you're willing to part with $299 (11-inch) or $349 (12.9-inch) for the peripheral that includes a trackpad for you power users.

Apple's new iPhone SE is surprisingly powerful for $399
Pre-orders open Friday morning at 8 AM ET, shipments start next week.
For just $50 more than the Magic Keyboard, you can buy an iPhone that packs Apple's latest A13 Bionic chipset into a 4.7-inch frame.

We know HBO will get more into streaming when the Max service launches next month, but what does that mean for people who pay for it via their cable company? Charter is the first provider to cut a deal and give us some answers. Just like HBO Now customers online, existing customers on Spectrum will get the expanded Max content library -- with Friends, South Park, a new Perry Mason show and a late-night show hosted by Elmo, to name a few -- for the same price.

Scientists find an Earth-like planet hiding in old Kepler data
An algorithm skipped it the first time around.
NASA
Scientists combing over early data from the Kepler space telescope have found an Earth-like planet, Kepler-1649c. It has a radius just 1.06 times larger than humanity's homeworld, and its red dwarf host provides about 75 percent of the light our planet gets — not great, but enough to put it in the habitable zone.
