What is Apple TV+? The Apple TV+ streaming service offers first-run TV shows, movies, and documentaries on Apple devices and supported smart TVs. Since September 2019, Apple has offered anyone who bought a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV, one year of Apple TV+ for free. Apple extended the promotion during the pandemic twice, which extended the trial for millions who have never paid for the premium service.

With the wave of Twitter and mass mobile messaging, the number of characters in a message has become valuable real estate. So much so that many URL shortening web companies have appeared and taken on the job of saving you precious text characters. Personally, my favorite URL shortener which I’ve been using for a long time is is.gd. First off you might ask: What is a URL shortener? Or more specifically what is is....
An iPad widgets concept perhaps provides the answer to why Apple didn’t do what many of us wanted: allow flexible positioning of widgets on the iPad, in the same way as on the iPhone. I raised the issue as soon as iPadOS 14 was announced … More than 95% of you agreed with me that iPad widgets should be as flexible as iPhone ones. I don’t think I’ve ever before written a feature request the moment a new operating system version has been announced, but one super-disappointing discovery prompts me to do so: iPad widgets in iPadOS 14 get less flexibility than iPhone ones […]...

It’s not difficult to conduct a realistic iPhone 11 waterproof test. You could spill some beer or wine on it, to replicate the typical bar accident, or drop one in a water glass or swimming pool. But if you have access to an underwater drone, well, it has to be done, right…? Apple only claims an IP68 rating the both iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. That means they should survive being immersed in up to two meters of water for up to 30 minutes....
