Thu, 03 Aug 2023 17:00:23 GMT en-US hourly 60 The iPhone SE 3 offers things like 5G and an A15 Bionic processor — but does Apple's budget smartphone come with MagSafe? Since its introduction in 2016, the iPhone SE has been Apple's affordable iPhone option. The first and second-gen models were available for $399, while the latest iPhone SE 3 starts at $429. For that price, it packs a fairly impressive punch. It has Apple's A15 Bionic processor, 5G connectivity, up to 15 hours of video playback for battery life, and an IP67 dust/water resistance rating. If you want an iPhone but can't stomach the price of a flagship, the iPhone SE 3 is worth consideration.

Being able to get first dibs to premium concert events and other perks exclusive to their beloved musical acts is a privilege for any loyal fan. The fact that Spotify provides this avenue as a means for fans to gain an upper hand only increases the platform's status as an all-in-one music streaming service.

Is it waterproof and how waterproof is it? Furthermore, does the rating vary between the Galaxy S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra models? IP ratings are quite nuanced, so it is important to know all the details before dunking a new phone in the pool or ocean.

With every new iPhone, Apple adds new users to its ecosystem. While existing iPhone users often upgrade to a newer model, there are also users migrating from Android to iOS. The operating systems are very different, and even basic tasks, such as switching off an iPhone, can be complicated for users who aren't familiar with how iOS works. Further, many iPhone users might not know this, but they can force restart the device when it's stuck.

YouTube has been experimenting with live-streaming since 2008. Live-streaming boomed in popularity a few years later thanks to Twitch, a stream-only platform that capitalized on the success of YouTube live plays, allowing an audience to follow along with the player as they played. YouTube, seeing competition from Twitch, tried to adapt to the new streaming culture. It overhauled the live-streaming ability and promoted it by incentivizing channels to use the feature.

No matter what smartphone someone buys, the way it connects to a wireless network is one of the most important aspects. For years and years, smartphones have connected to wireless carriers with physical SIM cards. More recently, however, there's been a shift towards eSIM technology — a system that integrates the functionality of a SIM card right into the phone itself.

For years, smartwatches on both sides of the Android and iOS spectrum have offered some sort of water resistance that enables users to keep them on their wrists for a longer time. Modern-day smartwatches come with different ratings, including IP, WR, and ATM. The manufacturer ultimately decides what type of device requires what extent of water resistance, but for smartwatches meant to measure water-based workouts, an IP68 rating is the industry standard.

The only materials needed are, of course, a monitor or TV, along with the proper adapter or cable. From there, there are only two steps necessary to connect a Chromebook to a secondary display.

Location sharing grants applications with the ability to provide services to users like navigation in Google Maps, automatic location tagging for pictures, targeted advertisements, and more. While these location features are appealing to many, the problem arises when a user has little or no control over how their location is being used. Most users do not look through privacy settings and, while using Snapchat, a user’s location is shared constantly with every friend on the application.

Today, there isn’t much room for customization on social media. In the early days, Xanga and Myspace allowed users to do whatever they pleased with their profiles. Users decked their accounts out with tailored designs and favorite songs. These days, users generally can customize only their picture and bio description. Still, platforms are finding ways to sneak in a touch of individuality.

Not too long ago, the streaming world had Netflix, Hulu... and that was it. You could sign up for one or the other (or both), have access to a huge library of shows/movies, and that's all there was to it. But that's not how things work now. Netflix and Hulu are still around today. But so are countless other streaming apps. Between Peacock, Paramount+, Disney+, Prime Video, and many more, it's easy to become overwhelmed with everything available. And for someone who's subscribed to a few of those services, things can get very expensive very quickly.

Samsung has two models in its lineup of foldable phones, the Fold and the Flip. While the former has a larger form factor and unfolds like a book, the latter features a clamshell design that unfolds into a traditional brick-style smartphone, in some ways making it more comparable to the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

First, it's important to make the distinction between Apple's streaming box and its streaming service, Apple TV+. The Apple TV is a streaming box that runs tvOS, a software that's deeply integrated with the company's ecosystem. In comparison, Apple TV+ is a service costing $6.99 per month and offering Apple's original content, like the hit series Ted Lasso.

Apple launched the AirPods Pro 2 in September 2022. They are the successor to the first-generation AirPods Pro that were launched in 2019, and bring a few thoughtful upgrades over the original model. These include better Active Noise Cancelation, a new low-distortion driver, and a custom amplifier, all of which help improve the audio quality.

Chinese companies have often been accused by Western governments of spying, and the new report is sure to add fuel to that raging fire. Digital privacy remains a prickly issue at the best of times, with even American tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and others often facing the wrath of privacy advocates for their business practices. With Chinese companies, the stakes are even higher, as the data is often sent to Chinese servers, opening up Western governments and companies to possible state-sponsored espionage.

Instagram introduced broadcast channels to enable creators to reach their audience in a more friendly and personal way by creating a one-to-many messaging channel. However, while the feature is helpful for creators, it can be tiresome for users, which is why some might want to turn off broadcast notifications on the platform.

The Galaxy Watch 6 series doesn't include a Pro model this time around. Both the Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic are more similar than different, with the main distinguishing feature being the Watch 6 Classic's larger case size and rotating bezel.

While Apple has offered high refresh rates on the iPad Pro since 2017, 120Hz screens were only introduced on the iPhone in 2021 with the iPhone 13 Pro. This was also the year that Apple unveiled its first Mac with a 120Hz display.

The Beats Studio Pro mark the company's return to the flagship headphones category after six long years. They take after the Studio 3s that were released in 2017, but offer much more in terms of specifications and features. In comparison, the AirPods Max came out in 2020.

The best part about a Kindle e-book is that users don't necessarily have to own a Kindle to read them. There are Kindle apps for Android and iOS, and even a Kindle web reader. This allows pretty much anyone with access to the internet a way to read an e-book. When signed in to an Amazon account, a reader's progress in an e-book will be synced across all their devices, which makes its easy for a person to start reading on a Kindle and then pick up where they left off on their smartphone or tablet.

One of the benefits of the credit card, compared to other offerings from well-known brands in the banking sphere, is its ease of use. The card is nearly too easy to sign-up for, taking just minutes in the iPhone Wallet app. It also has straightforward billing materials, intuitive payment processes, and a fair cashback system. When using the physical titanium card that can be requested through the app, the experience is much more rudimentary compared to other cards.

The Find My network is made up of over a billion Apple devices. This allows devices like iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, AirTags, and even AirPods to transmit their location over Bluetooth to a nearby Apple device, and update this information on the Find My map.

For all the things TikTok does well, it also has its fair share of problems.

Google released the Pixel Watch in October 2022, alongside the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. On the other hand, the Watch 4 came out in August 2021.

But more than two years later, does it make sense to purchase the device in 2023? In the last few years, the smartphone market has seen more competition than ever.

In such a time, if a smartphone ages well and beats one or two generations of upcoming models from competitors, it's easy to recommend.

Powered by an M1 processor, the fifth-generation iPad Air is just as fast as the 2021 iPad Pro, and shares compatibility with Apple Pencil 2 and keyboard covers as well. That makes the iPad Air a great option at a more affordable price, suggesting there are other significant differences. For example, it lacks LiDAR and a second rear camera.

Given its affordable price and versatile functionality, the iPad 9th Gen is one of the most value-for-money products launched by Apple.

With the big MacBook Pro redesign in 2016, Apple introduced a few controversial changes. It made the laptop considerably thinner, removed many of its legacy ports in favor of USB-C, and added the iconic Touch Bar above the keyboard. The Touch Bar is a small OLED strip along the entire width of the keyboard that changes based on the application being used. It can show URLs and website shortcuts, virtual function keys, and more.

The beleaguered butterfly keyboard that was introduced with the 12-inch MacBook caused problems for years, prompting the company to roll out a service program good for four years after a MacBook's purchase.
