Amazon has officially announced the start date for its annual Prime Day sale for 2021 and there’s now just three days until the main shopping event. Traditionally held in early summer, Amazon Prime Day is one of the internet’s biggest sales, offering customers a huge range of discounts on everything from TVs and tablets to coffee machines. Last year, it was postponed from its usual slot in July to October in order to better support the safety of employees during the coronavirus pandemic, leaving many shoppers wondering if the event will go ahead in 2021. But now, the company has confirmed...

Apple launched a brand new product this year that sold out quickly after becoming available for preorder, the oft-rumored AirTag tracker that has a unique advantage over all other similar products. AirTags harness Appel’s massive network of devices, most of them iPhones, to provide anonymous, location information about missing items hooked up to the tracker. Keys, wallets, suitcases, bags, bikes, and other objects you wouldn’t want to lose track of can be “protected” with AirTags, which then show up in the Find My app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with location information. That’s the same app that Apple used for...

With WWDC now firmly behind us, the next big Apple event of the year is poised to be the most exciting.

Over the past few weeks and months, we’ve seen no shortage of iPhone 13 tidbits make their way through the Apple rumor mill. And though it’s possible Apple will have a few surprises for us at its forthcoming special event, there’s a...

The Apple Watch is often credited for saving people’s lives, whether it’s by detecting an abnormal heart rate or an accidental fall, or even by notifying emergency services on their behalf. The latter is a security feature built into the Apple Watch that allows people to quickly dial 911 if they need emergency assistance. The feature must be enabled in the Apple Watch app on an iPhone before it can be used from the Apple Watch. Once that’s done, dialing 911 becomes incredibly easy. As a matter of fact, it’s so easy that 911 can be dialed accidentally, without the...

As always, Apple was able to take an existing technology or feature and make it sound like the most innovating thing that its rivals will then start copying. Although the ability to locate trackers using other people’s devices nearby has long been used by the likes of Tile, Apple’s AirTags and upgraded Find My network has unsurprisingly garnered much more attention, both good and bad.
