Apple’s first iPhone game in over a decade stars Warren Buffett
[ad_1] The title is credited to “Wildlife Designs” in the App Store, but the splash screen and the game’s terms make it clear that Apple is directly responsible.

UK government starts accepting Apple Pay and Google Pay
[ad_1] Officials expect to spread payments among other, more “central” government services as well as local government, health care and the police.

And let’s face it, this technological convenience is still relatively rare […]
OnePlus explains the 7’s lack of a water resistance rating
[ad_1] An accompanying video also claimed that water resistance ratings “cost you money,” and showed a OnePlus 7 model being dunked in a bucket as ‘proof’ of its ability to survive immersion.
