A $10 dongle will fix the iPhone 7’s biggest problem, but not your broken soul

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a9f4812d83d7be42aea24277521f48ee.jpgHey, did you hear? The iPhone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack! Sure, Apple included a Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter in the box, but that doesn't help when you want to charge your phone and listen to music at the same time. Enter a bigger, better dongle. The iLDock is still a Kickstarter with a lot of hurdles to clear, but if it makes it to market, it could be the best solution yet to the headphone jack problem. Of course, that's not saying a lot.

So long, Phoneys! Apple is about to ban everyone’s favorite iOS 10 stickers app

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/49bfb1b91d3b56356114db3e8560cd8b.jpg Apple, as opposed to Google, just doesn’t know how to kick back and relax sometimes. After a prank app called Phoneys skyrocketed to the top of the iMessage App Store charts, Apple informed the developer of the app, Adam Howell, that the app will be removed in a week if he doesn’t implement some design tweaks that would fundamentally alter the appeal and overall utility of the app. For those unfamiliar, Phoneys is a fun iMessage app that let users send stickers designed to look exactly like the blue iMessage bubbles iOS users are accustomed to. The end result is that users can send their…

Watch a mad man create the redesigned iPhone 7 Apple wouldn’t make

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c90b2571f98e709e362c477310bc7493.jpgNow that Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been released, it has become impossible to make an objective argument that the new handsets are "boring." We saw that narrative all over gadget blogs ahead of the phones' release but as we repeatedly reminded readers, you can never judge a book by its cover when it comes to iPhone leaks. In the end, we were correct; Apple's new iPhone's look just like we thought they would thanks to all those leaks, but leaks never paint a complete picture. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the fastest phones in the world by a huge margin, and they feature new …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4ee5d71c9a775db16249c5c943fd11bf.jpgIt’s no secret that Google likes to have a bit of fun. From the revolving door of artistic doodles that grace Google’s homepage to the company’s extensive April Fools Day pranks, Google, more so than most other tech companies, likes to instill a bit of whimsy across much of its software. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Google’s homepage. Now Google’s homepage is purposefully sparse as the company wants users to quickly enter in a query and find what they’re looking for. But lurking underneath the surface are a number of awesome Easter eggs that allows users to play all sorts of interesti…

Mirroring their apparent product strategy and a charge leveled by critics regarding the Android ecosystem, Google’s methods for sharing updates and news spans a wide number of sources, mostly separate, discrete blogs on a variety of subjects and products.

For better or worse, online self-service equity trading platforms opened up the stock market to droves of new investors. These services have only grown more accessible over time, with many such as TD Ameritrade and E-Trade advertising entry-level commissions of $10 per trade. $10 per trade is a tremendous value compared to traditional services, but now there's a newer service that offers an even better value for budding investors.

What happens when a Tesla Model S hits 200,000 miles?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/565148d61ec31ee1fb71c22a747ced01.jpgBack in the day, if a car reached 100,000 miles it was probably a reliable sign that it was time to trade it in and get a new vehicle. These days, the 100,000 mile threshold is much less of an issue thanks to numerous advances in engineering, automotive technologies and materials. In fact, these days it’s not unheard of to see cars with 200,000 miles still chugging along. While that may hold true for gas-powered vehicles, a lot less is known about what happens when electric cars put on hundreds of thousands of miles. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that mass-market EVs are a relativ…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0cce5ecac047628c22b90b851ef80cea.jpgOne of the more interesting and controversial items to emerge from Apple’s special media event earlier this month was the introduction of a new pair of wireless headphones called AirPods. Sporting a futuristic design and impressive battery life, Apple’s AirPods have been praised as much as they have been ridiculed. On the positive side, Apple’s AirPods are jam-packed with advanced technologies. On the other hand, many argue that the design of Apple’s AirPods is not user-friendly nor aesthetically pleasing.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/360a560a6000f9f45bc89e0b8a62ff0b.jpgThe iPhone 7 is already a massive hit with consumers -- even if it’s boring, and even if it lacks a headphone jack. However, some buyers aren’t happy about Apple’s decision to kill the headphone jack. There are fixes for it, including the adapter that Apple put in every iPhone 7 box. But there is still one audio jack issue that some iPhone 7 owners may complain about: There's no easy way to charge the phone and use wired headphones at the same time. If aesthetics don't matter to you, then there is one solution to fix your iPhone 7 headphone hack problem, a new case that brings back the 3.5mm p…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4ee5d71c9a775db16249c5c943fd11bf.jpg I’m old enough to remember a time when Google wasn’t the only search engine in town. You say, way back in the day, the search engine landscape was littered with a seemingly endless number of options, from Altavista to Webcrawler. In the late 90s, Google came along and quickly implanted itself as the de-facto search engine. Thanks to its clever page-rank algorithm, Google managed to deliver more accurate and helpful search results than the competition. Google’s rise to search engine dominance was well-chronicled in Steven Levy's In the Plex, but one of the more interesting aspects of Goog…
