Phones look like iphone 6

There are a few things you can say to someone to make them instantly think you're crazy. "I don't use a case on my phone," is one of them. I have been using a case on my phone for the last decade, and I didn't plan on stopping this year. It happened gradually, and then suddenly it was gone altogether. The most surprising thing about not using a case on my iPhone is the realization that I don't actually drop my phone very much—at least so far—and don't need to always keep it in a bubble of sorts. Up until a few months ago, I was using Apple 's iPhone cases, and had settled on its first-party protection over recent years. Its leather cases were really pleasant when they had metal volume buttons. More recently, its silicon cases have become a lot more refined and a nice option, as well. Even if you're not a fan of Apple's phone cases, there are a lot of other good cases to choose from. It wasn't for a lack of choice that I stopped using a case on my phone. While testing a lot of … [Read more...] about I stopped using an iPhone case and maybe you should, too

A new iPhone also means it needs a new case that fits precisely. We went hands-on with dozens of different cases designed specifically for the iPhone 13 Pro to make sure the ones we're recommending are solid options. This year, plenty of cases have focused on antimicrobial protection to keep germs from living on your phone case surface. Beyond keeping germs away, Nomad is innovating around adding an NFC (near-field communication) tag to its cases so that you can tap another phone and instantly send your contact information (or other data) to people with minimal effort. Bellroy is continuing to refine its wallet case so that it's practical in all circumstances and will still work with wireless chargers. All in all, there are plenty of choices available whether you're looking for a clear or leather case or one that doubles as a wallet. As always, the prices listed may fluctuate over time. Bellroy Phone Mod Case and Wallet Bellroy's wallet case is a slightly … [Read more...] about The best iPhone 13 Pro cases you can buy today

I DIDN'T think it was possible to pack a 201-inch screen in my pocket - until now. EE has launched a brand new augmented reality headset with a company called Nreal, which allows you to magically project your very own massive virtual TV . Pre-order the Nreal Air glasses from EE at £399 now . No one else can see what you see. After the disappointment of Google Glass , I wasn't sure what to expect but the results are pleasantly surprising, though this is just a brief first impression hands-on.

FASHION-MAD metaverse users can now parade about in virtual Nike trainers if they have a few thousand going spare. People are paying more than $80,000 for some rare pairs - and it doesn't look like they even get real ones to go with it.

These are going for anything between $2,500 for more common designs, up to $449,000 for the rarest. The clothing giant has launched a collection of 20,000 NFT sneakers after buying virtual designers RTFKT (pronounced "artefact") last year.

Earlier this month, Walt Disney World began reopening, following almost four months of closure due to the pandemic. I flew to Orlando to experience the magic. The week I arrived, Florida had registered the highest single-day case count of any state thus far. In Orlando’s airport, I felt a vague sense that Floridians considered such statistics a source of secret pride, as if they had set a record for fattest alligator or ugliest serial killer or most senior citizens in a golf cart. The airport where I had started my day, in Connecticut, had required masks, and everyone wore them. Here in Florida, some passengers went totally unmasked, but most wore masks in a defiant fashion, either slung under their chin or with their nostrils gaping out over the top, sucking and spewing potentially viral particles with every breath. A friend who lives a couple of hours away in St. Petersburg likens this latter style to “wearing a condom that covers only the shaft.” Disney World is in Florida only … [Read more...] about I Went to Disney World

If the last-minute twist at the Oscars was seen to echo all the last-minute twists in American culture lately—the Super Bowl, the election—a silly five-minute segment earlier in the night should be noted for what it captured about the country’s ongoing tensions and tastes in iPhone peripherals. Host Jimmy Kimmel’s team arranged for a sightseeing bus of supposedly “real” tourists to walk into the room, expecting a museum exhibit about the Oscars but instead finding themselves in the middle of the actual thing. “Welcome to the Dolby Theater,” Kimmel announced. “This is the home of the Academy Awards, which are, in fact, happening right now.” The greatest Hollywood tour bus trip EVER ... @StarLineTours #Oscars pic.twitter.com/hUsuhPQf0I — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) February 27, 2017 The bit was both amusing and squirmy: a weird microcosm of Hollywood’s relationship with America, America’s relationship with the media, and Jimmy Kimmel’s ability to make everything a … [Read more...] about The Tour Bus That Crashed the Oscars—and Hollywood’s Bubble

MOVE over Tinder - love is in the virtual air of the metaverse, where a couple first hooked up as avatars. Now, Brits Eilir Roberts, 32 and Marc Charlton, 36, are engaged with plans to tie the knot next year. The virtual romance started when Roberts - an intensive care doctor in the real world - bought an Oculus headset as an escapism from life's stresses. Then one day a "dark haired, bearded avatar with a pink hoodie" caught his eye. "I could hear him chatting with other avatars, and was so impressed by his confidence and presence,” he told the NY Post . "It took me a few days to build up the courage to actually speak to him; when I finally did there was an instant connection."

MARK Zuckerberg is plotting as many as four new "metaverse headsets" that transport you to his virtual world. That's according to a new report that claims one pair of "Meta goggles" coming soon will be like a "laptop for your face".

WHATSAPP will ban users if they fall foul of the service's strict rules. The problem is, most people aren't even aware of what the dos and don'ts are exactly. Sure, knowingly sending a virus or scam is a pretty obvious way to be thrown off the platform. But sometimes things you might consider innocent may actually be breaking the rules. You'll know you've been banned from WhatsApp if a message appears, saying: "Your phone number is banned from using WhatsApp. Contact support for help."
