iPhone 8 review: The upgrade many people will be looking for

Here’s what you need to know about pricing, availability, and launch-day offers for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in India.

How much do the new iPhones cost?

The 64GB iPhone 8 retails for $699 in the U.S., with the iPhone 8 Plus starting at $799. …

Apple TV Express could plug in, power on, and get anything from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac up onto your television.

Nintendo Switch lets you game like a console in your living room, then pick up and take your gaming on the go. Instead of an Apple TV — or NES! — box, it’s more like an iPad that can dock to your TV for room-filling fun. Google’s Chromecast achieves something similar but in an entirely different way: through a dongle rather than a dock. Even Amazon’s latest Fire TV isn’t much more than a dongle.

There’s a lot to recommend Apple TV 4K’s dedicated device approach, including separate local storage, incredible hardware power, and updates that won’t depend on big media houses supporting hundreds of different ”smart-TV” platforms. But what if we could have the best of all worlds?

Last year I traveled a lot to do training for some of our new writers. In one of the offices, we had two old-school Apple TVs attached to two big screens on opposite sides of the buil…

Free money?! Sign me up.

Get a free $5 promo credit to be used on anything sold and shipped by Amazon when you sign up for a free 30-day trial of Music Unlimited after entering promo code MUSIC5.

Amazon has learned their lesson from the last deal and added a few caveats to this one. First, this deal only applies to new subscribers. If you caught the last deal or have signed up for Amazon Music Unlimited before, you won’t be eligible. Second, you need to be a Prime member. Third, you won’t be able to create a bunch of new accounts for this promo because the accounts have to be older than October 1.

If you didn’t already see, Amazon just announced a slate of new Echo and Fire TV products which are currently available to pre-order at a discount! Your promotional credit can be applied to any of those, like the new Echo Spot.

Use the credit to get discounts on video games. Get Destiny 2 for $42 or Cuphead for $15.

Today Twitter released information in response to queries and concerns regarding Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and stated that it is ”in dialogue with congressional committees” in order to aid in the investigation.

In a post published on Twitter’s official blog today, the company continued the discussion of their approach to bots and misinformation that they started earlier this summer. This time, though, Twitter’s Public Policy team focused more on their findings with respect to Russian attempts to undermine the democratic process.

The company said that it discovered upwards of 200 Twitter accounts affiliated with the Russian government, and three of those, which are connected to news site Russia Today, had purchased a multitude of ads targeted at the U.S. market in 2016:

Today we proactively shared with committee staff a round-up of ads that three RT accounts (@RT_com, @RT_America, and @ActualidadRT) targeted to the U.S. market in 2016. As of our meetings to…

If your stand reminders have suddenly gone silent after upgrading to watchOS 4, check this setting.

Earlier this week, The Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry noticed something odd after upgrading to watchOS 4:

I’m not getting stand reminders since installing watchOS 4 – it’s on in Settings and I restarted watch. Anyone else?— Craig Hockenberry (@chockenberry) September 27, 2017

His tweet got me thinking about all the stand reminders I’ve missed since upgrading my Apple Watch. Initially, I’d thought that my lack of regular reminders was somehow part of watchOS 4’s intelligent coaching system — that it’d somehow gotten trained on a few weeks of insane non-stop writing where I didn’t leave my desk and decided I no longer wanted standing goals in my life. (It would have been a fair assessment.)

But no: It turns out the culprit is something far more reasonable. From what Hockenberry discovered, it looks as though anyone who hasn’t yet set wheelchair Activity settings when upg…

In the face of unprecedented natural disaster, politicians are once again calling on Apple and others to enable the FM radio feature in modern smartphones. Unfortunately, they aren’t looking into the technology first.

In the wake of the devastation wrought by recent hurricanes and earthquakes, politicians in the U.S. are calling for Apple and other manufacturers to turn on the FM radios that they presume are lying dormant in iPhones and other phones. I really wish — and I suspect Apple and other manufacturers really wish — it was that as simple. But it’s not. And, unfortunately, politicians aren’t often well versed in technology, and they often don’t ask before they soundbite.

Apple provided me with the following statement on the issue:

”Apple cares deeply about the safety of our users, especially during times of crisis and that’s why we have engineered modern safety solutions into our products,” Apple told iMore. ”Users can dial emergency services and access Medica…

Developer thatgamecompany’s award-winning PS3 game just dropped on Apple’s App Store, so if you’re searching for a moment of peace, you should consider downloading it ASAP.

Flower for iOS, which Touch Arcade was the first to spot, is an extremely calming game in which you harness the power of the wind to guide flower petals through vibrant, beautifully designed environments. The only real object is to collect more petals. Perhaps more importantly than that, though, players are encouraged to explore and interact with the surroundings in the game at their own pace, immersing themselves in the super captivating and meditative sensory experience. In Flower, there’s no text or dialogue to read, and no real ”messing up” — it’s all about the journey.

Flower is almost completely tilt-controlled, meaning that it’s really intuitive and easy to play (even for people like me who have serious trouble steering). It’s definitely the sort of game that was created to be enjoyed by ev…

1Password is a great password manager that iOS 11 has made even better. With the app’s latest update, you can now drag and drop usernames, passwords, and more from 1Password into the targeted app or webpage you’re trying to login to. This pairs well with 1Password’s existing support for iOS’s Slide Over multitasking feature, allowing you to slide the 1Password window over, get the login information you need, then slide it away when it’s usefulness has ended.

As though Amazon Prime members needed another benefit to brag about…

This week, Sept. 28, marks the first Thursday Night Football game streaming free on Amazon Prime Video. Last year, Twitter was the exclusive streaming partner of the Thursday night games, but that changes this year. There are already a number of other benefits to Amazon Prime, like free 2-day shipping, other exclusive video content, music streaming, and much more.

You can stream the games using the Amazon Prime Video app on your Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Roku devices, Smart TVs, smartphones, and tablets. There are a number of big matchups that will stream, including the Patriots vs. Buccaneers, Seahawks vs. Cardinals, Broncos vs. Colts, and more.

Jeff Blackburn, Senior Vice President, Business Development & Entertainment, Amazon said:

Apple has a mobile payments platform, it ties into credit, debit, loyalty, and store cards, and here’s what you need to know about it!

Apple Pay — or Pay if you’re fancy — is Apple’s mobile payment service. It stores your credit and debit card information on a Secure Element and lets you use it to pay online via apps on the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, or iPad mini 3, or in-store via near-field communications (NFC) on the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus, and even with the Apple Watch and any of the iPhones 5 or 6.

Apple Pay is currently available in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and China. Authorization is handled by Touch ID or passcode, card information never leaves the device and is never synced to the cloud. One-time tokens are used when you pay so your real credit card information is never shared with developers or retailers. Best of all, it’s not just secure &md…
