    How do you turn on RCS messaging in iOS 18?

    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...

    Theory: Apple + Disney = Robots

    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...

    Tethering to Android only works sometimes

    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...

    I want to switch to the Galaxy A54, but how would that work in the Apple ecosystem?

    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...
