It’s about time we get a rugged Apple Watch
The vision for the Apple Watch has changed quite a bit since its debut all those years ago. No longer this symbol of flamboyancy and extravagance (despite its price tag), the Apple Watch is about being helpful. So it's about time Apple started looking at a more rugged design.
Do you turn off 5G to preserve your iPhone 12’s battery life?
Last year, Apple introduced the iPhone 12 lineup. At the same time, the company also confirmed the handsets would feature 5G connectivity for faster cellular service.

The "streaming wars" is still an ongoing effort. Companies like the AT&T-owned Warner Bros., Netflix, Disney, Paramount, and so many others all vying for some of the money you earn every month.
