After Math: Never stop not watching

[ad_1] Even as the price of a Netflix subscription continues to creep steadily higher here in the States, the streaming service announced this week that it is rolling out a low cost plan for television fans in India. The only catch to the $3/month scheme is that you have to watch everything on your phone. […]

Two more unannounced iPads turn up in Apple filings

[ad_1] There appear to be three families in the mix: one A2000-series iPad (A2068), two A2100-series variants (A2197 and A2198) and four A2200 editions (A2200, A2228, A2230 and A2232). This doesn’t mean Apple will announce three completely different iPads, but it does suggest there will be some distinctions. At present, the most likely candidates may […]

It’s time to take Google’s Pixel phones more seriously

[ad_1] Of course, that can’t all be attributed to the Pixel 3a and Google hasn’t broken down what exactly pushed this growth. The pricier Pixel 3s have gone on sale a few times since their launch, which could have helped drive numbers up. But it’s almost a no-brainer: the company is selling more units, simply […]

Apple contractors frequently hear sensitive info in Siri recordings

[ad_1] Apple stressed in a statement that it has multiple privacy protections. The recordings aren’t tied to Apple IDs, and they’re studied in “secure facilities” by people who are bound to “strict confidentiality requirements.” It won’t know whose device made a request or otherwise make connections.

The tech you need to declutter your academic life

[ad_1] Regardless of the system you’ve picked, you’ll want to make sure you never run out of space. Having to carry around an external hard drive defeats the purpose of decluttering in the first place. You can either go for a device with larger storage (1TB would be plenty but 500GB is adequate) or invest […]

Apple’s credit card could arrive in the first half of August

[ad_1] Getting a product like this off the ground is no easy feat, especially given that Apple’s decision to partner with Goldman Sachs meant two very different corporate cultures (Silicon Valley vs Wall Street) had to work together. Bloomberg reports that the two companies split up many of the responsibilities but worked together on the […]

CBS All Access is coming to Apple TV Channels next week

[ad_1] Apple TV Channels lets users pick their favorite streaming service and watch them through their Apple TV. Current a la carte options include traditional channels like CBS and Comedy Central as well as premium cable channels like HBO or Showtime. With the addition of CBS All Access, Apple TV viewers will be able to […]

Apple buys the ‘majority’ of Intel’s smartphone modem business

[ad_1] The arrangement still gives Intel the ability to develop modems for computers, Internet of Things devices and self-driving cars. It’s not completely out of the cellular chipset business, then, it’s just scaling back. This will let the chip designer focus on 5G in spaces where it “most closely aligns” with what its customers want. […]

Apple’s rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro may ditch the flaky keyboard

[ad_1] This is just the latest rumor to come from Kuo. He previously predicted that the 16-inch MacBook Pro will arrive before the end of this year. He also believes future Macs, coming in 2020, will use the scissor mechanism rather than the butterfly mechanism. That wouldn’t be surprising, given all the complaints over Apple’s […]
