Both iPhone 8 models were merely perceived as the natural successors of the iPhone 7, while X marked the future.

How to Fix Common Google Home Connectivity Issues

Google Home is almost like having a super intelligent, tech-savvy and highly obedient pet around the house. When this smart speaker performs well, it makes you feel as if there’s another conscious being in your living room.

Stop Buying Cheap iPhone Chargers! Why It Matters

Apple sometimes gets a bad rap in the repair realm. They’re notoriously heavy-handed with authorized service providers and remain reluctant towards third-party repair. The same holds true for even the most basic Apple accessories, such as your iPhone charger. By shutting out unauthorized suppliers, Apple is sometimes seen as control freaks.

You go online and find a cheap iPhone 6 charger that seems to fit all the requirements. Just before you’re tempted to hit that “Order Now” button - take a moment to think about it. Why are Apple Authorized Providers selling the same gear at higher prices?
