    What screen protector should you use for your iPhone?

    Now my iPhone uses a tempered glass screen protector, but it will thicken the phone, and if you drop it once, the screen protector will crack. Do you have any better screen protectors to recommend?

    Suspicious device on my hotspot. Does not have a MAC address. So... what is it?

    Hello everyone, first post here :) I saw this unknown address under my personal hotspot summary on an iPhone: e:69:a5:97:7:17 (with 9 KB of data) Interestingly enough, it only has 10-digits so it cannot be a MAC address. What is it then? Should I be worried?
