Facebook has really taken the fact that it couldn't acquire Snapchat to heart. So much so that it has constantly tried to emulate the service, first by releasing its own version (remember Slingshot?) and later adopting its most popular feature - Stories - in its Instagram and Facebook Messenger apps. Now, the latest Facebook owned app to get this feature is none other than the billion user strong WhatsApp. Called WhatsApp Status, this feature will work pretty much the same way it now works within Instagram. WhatsApp beta 2.16.338: it's possible to see who viewed your status.--I want...

Analyst: No iPhone SE refresh coming in March 2017
Apple won't be releasing an update to the iPhone SE in March 2017, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated in a note to investors that AppleInsider got their hands on. Unlike any other major smartphone, the iPhone SE's life will be extended past the usual one year period. As reasoning behind such a decision on Apple's part the analyst (whose predictions in the past have more often than not been right on the money) suggests a push to maximize gross margins and spare the true flagship iPhone 7 from internal competition. All that said, the forecast only covers the second fiscal quarter of 2017...

The Uncourage is a keychain to keep you from losing the iPhone 7 3.5mm adapter
Okay, not only 'there's a dongle for that', but now there's a keychain for that dongle. The Uncourage (Apple's #courage, counteracted) is a simple keychain allowing you to carry your iPhone 7/7 Plus Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter around without losing it. The remarkably low-tech solution to a previously non-existent problem consists of a key ring with a 3.5mm plug attached to it, and that's it. It's also priced accordingly - $6 a pop, but getting a 3-pack will run you $12 total, and 10 pieces come at half price, if you're shopping for the entire family (and/or have dozens of...
