TwitterFacebook

There have been some vicious rumours circulating that Black Friday deals are dead. You shouldn’t believe everything you hear, though, because most rumours are simply not true.

OK, we may have insinuated that Black Friday has come to an end, once or twice. We don’t like to spread gossip but it’s a tricky business making predictions and Black Friday seems to just go on and on these days. Nothing to complain about, of course. If leading retailers want to continue pushing great deals then we all win.

Carphone Warehouse is one of these retailers that clearly isn’t finished just yet. There’s currently a big focus on O2 web exclusive deals on Carphone Warehouse for the remainder of its Black Tag sale. These offers will end on Dec. 4: Read more…

Choosing the right case for your iPhone 8 is an important task.

Besides making your iPhone look better, the right case can make your life a whole lot easier — if you know what to look for, that is.

The best case for you will depend on a lot of factors. What do you mostly use your phone for? Are you an Instagram addict, or do you spend all day texting? Do you need something with a lot of protection, or are you more concerned with making sure your phone fits in your pocket easily? 

There’s a lot to consider, and not every case is going to work well for everyone. But with our guide, it should be a lot easier to find the one to suit your needs.  Read more…

How Apple’s helping to fight HIV and AIDS with red iPhone 8’s

TwitterFacebook

Apple’s new red-colored iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are more than just a bright new shade to match your outfit. The new iPhones are part of (Product)RED, and a portion of every sale goes directly to the non-profit, The Global Fund, to help fight HIV and AIDS.

Since it partnered up with (RED) in 2006, Apple has contributed over $160 million to the Global Fund — $30 million of which was added last year after launching the (Product)Red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus — making the tech giant the largest contributor to the Global Fund.

Remember last year’s red iPhone 7 — the first iPhone to launch as a Product (RED), a special edition line of products that help fund and promote (RED)’s efforts to fight HIV and AIDS? 

Apple may be giving the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus a similar treatment, according to a new Virgin Mobile Memo, obtained by MacRumors

According to the memo, Virgin Mobile will be adding red variants of iPhone 8 and 8 Plus to its inventory on Monday, April 9, and a launch announcement from Apple (no event, just a press release) might happen on the same day. The devices will be available for pre-order, which indicates a later shipping date.  Read more…
