I have an iPhone 13 mini and was happy to hear that Apple will finally support RCS with iOS 18. I've been using iOS 18 since release but to my disappointment, I still get green bubbles with non iOS users, and I assume, I'm still getting billed for every single SMS. So what's up with this? I...

First off — Apple will never buy Disney because it doesn't need to. The two companies can be best friends without an acquisition. Some establishing points: Having a personal/family robot sounds excessive and spoiled, but I see it as no different from all the other machines/tools we use to make...

I’ve begun testing my apps, products, and services on one of the most popular purchased Android phones: a Samsung A15, and my initial impression of this device - is who designed it. So I’m an iPhone enthusiast and enjoy the Apple ecosystem - but I’m also one of those who gets frustrated when...

Hey, I was with Android for years, and decided to switch to iPhone about a year ago. So there was no feature in WhatsApp to transfer the conversation history from Android to the IOS. I started WhatsApp from 0. The point is that today it is already possible, and the backup of WhatsApp on Android...

When I tether my iPad to my Android phone (Galaxy S21 Ultra), internet sharing works sometimes, but not others. Each time I try to tether, I make sure to connect to the phone in the iPad Bluetooth settings, and I make sure to press “allow” on the phone when it asks me if I want to allow the...

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A54 in The Netherlands with sweet trade-in deals and offers. On top of that it received a price cut and it's now a bargain on online marketplaces. It'll also receive 4 years of OS updates and the image processing is finally up there with the big boys (the 4K...

Has anyone experienced having the YouTube app automatically re-enable Smart Downloads and download random videos even though it has been left disabled in the first place? I am not sure whether it is only limited to Premium subscribers or it also affects non-Premium users of YouTube... I also am...

Hey all, I live in France and the cheapest iPhone 14 Pro model retails at 1329 euros, that's 1441 US Dollars. I've had an iPhone for 15 years and used to update every year, lately every two years, but now sometimes ask myself... Moving forward, what really justifies to spend that crazy...

For those 2 or 3 of you wondering if it's possible to use an AW with an Android phone, the answer is sort of. It seems that Apple has been continuously changing the AW's to be more and more independent of their mother phones. Anyway I'm a tinkerer at heart so I decided to give this a go with...
