You can create the illusion of depth with the latest line of iPhone devices and a little help from some advanced technology.

Whether you’re a pro iPhoneographer or someone who just decided to pick up one of the super pretty, uber colorful iPhone XRs (I have the yellow one and I’m obsessed), being able to shoot stunning portrait mode photos with your iPhone is always helpful.

Portrait mode is a feature that has allowed people who typically shoot on their iPhone to take it to a DSLR level: Portrait mode blurs the back of photos, making the focused subject matter have the appearance of more depth. It works together with the iPhone’s superior camera lens and advanced software technology.

When someone shoots with a DSLR camera, they’re able to have more control over their image, but the introduction of Portrait mode has allowed users to do the same from the comfort of their iPhone. No more big, expensive DSLRs — just your iPhone and Portrait mode. Here’s how you can use Depth Con…

Best answer: Unfortunately, the first-generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the new iPad Pro.

Apple: Apple Pencil (First Generation) ($99)

Apple: Apple Pencil (Second Generation) ($129)

You’ll be out of luck if you wanted to use the original Apple Pencil with the new iPad Pro

We’ve entered a new iPad Pro era. Apple’s latest professionally-oriented tablets are the first iOS product not to utilize a proprietary Apple connector. Instead of Lightning, which has been Apple’s standard since 2012, the company has opted to use USB-C on the new iPad Pro models.

The biggest hurdle this presents for the first-generation Apple Pencil is simple: the Pencil pairs to the iPad Pro by connecting to the Lightning port. As these new iPads have USB-C instead of Lightning, the original Apple Pencil can’t pair with a new iPad Pro.

The second-generation Apple Pencil is made for the new iPad Pro

In contrast to the original Pencil, the second-generation stylus connects to your iPad Pro wirele…

Wireless charging iPhone? Check. Apple Watch? Check. Charging station for both? Check!

Nomad’s Base Station is a beautiful charging accessory. It’s sleek, covered in leather, and looks like it belongs on the desk of a Fortune 500 CEO. Nomad has just launched a new version of the Base Station to bring a second (or third, technically) device that can be charged at the same time: the Apple Watch.

Looking for some tunes to to add the perfect touch to your All Hallow’s Eve get-together? Here are some playlists that will turn your humdrum house party into a full-on monster mash.

Spotify

HALLOWEEN: A Trick Or Treat Mix: This playlist strikes a perfect balance between groovy scores from 70’s and 80’s horror films and more modern artists like Symmetry, MGMT, and Kavinsky. It’s haunting, lullabye-esque, and a bit psychedelic — think wearing a retro cocktail dress at an art school halloween party, hosted by the girl whose apartment is lit exclusively by neons.

Halloween: This is the Halloween playlist middle school me would make. It’s moody and melodramatic, and features soundtrack hits from movies like Nightmare Before Christmas and Sucker Punch, as well as original songs from Deftones, Melanie Martinez, Depeche Mode, and more. Plus, it starts out with a beautiful version of Sarah Sanderson’s ”Come Little Children” from the best Halloween movie of all time, Hocus Pocus.

Best answer: Yes it will, but it may not efficiently charge your 15-inch MacBook Pro while you’re using it. You’ll have to close your MacBook or make sure it’s off in order to get a full charge. The monitor will charge your 13-inch MacBook Pro without any issues.

Amazon: LG 27UD88 monitor ($580)
Amazon: LG UltraFine 5K ($580)
Apple: MacBook Pro ($1,300 – $2,800)
While the LG monitor and your laptop are compatible, they may not be the most practical companions

You can definitely use the LG 27UD88 monitor with your MacBook Pro, regardless of the size, but keep in mind that it won’t be able to fully charge your 15-inch MacBook pro if you’re using it constantly. If your laptop is asleep, it will slowly charge the device, but not everyone wants to have to stop using their MacBook in order to fully charge it. It’ll charge the 13-inch version just fine.

While this might be a downside for some, it’s worth noting how incredible this monitor is as a device: you can customize your monitor l…
