## [iPhone Bluetooth Issues? We’ve Got an Answer for You](https://blog.puls.com/iphone-bluetooth-issues-weve-got-an-answer)

Turns out, the name Bluetooth is actually the nickname of a tenth-century Scandinavian king who united Danish tribes under his flag. The creators of Bluetooth probably figured this was an apt symbol for a technology that would become an industry standard, uniting smartphone addicts and laptop jockeys alike with one convenient, wireless technology.

We like surprises – usually. But sometimes life throws you a curve ball when you’re least prepared for it. You might be running late for a meeting, or have a big date coming up, and all of a sudden you discover that your iPhone is not charging when plugged in.

## [5G Mobile Network: How Will it Affect Our Smartphones?](https://blog.puls.com/5g-mobile-networks)

Remember when cell phones were actually used as phones? Back then, their primary use was to call other phones and send the occasional SMS text message. You could even play a short game of snake. Ever since the good old days, smartphones are constantly pushing the boundaries of performance with bigger screens, better cameras, more memory and faster processors.

## [Common iPhone 8 Problems & Solutions to Fix Them Now](https://blog.puls.com/common-iphone-8-problems-solutions)

If you fly too close to the sun you can get burned. So while the iPhone X took all the chances, gained all the hype and suffered the criticism that comes with it, Apple simply positioned the iPhone 8 as a great phone. No thrills, no surprises, and less reason for disappointment. That’s why it’s so easy to overlook the fact that the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are truly amazing phones.

## [Modern Love: How Technology Affects Our Relationships](https://blog.puls.com/how-technology-affects-our-relationships)

Love … back in your parents’ day, the dating arena seemed peachy keen - simply being single, “going steady” or getting married seemed easy enough. Flash forward to 2018 and add smartphones, dating apps and unspoken phone etiquette to the mix, and a lot changes.

## [iPhone 8 Troubleshooting: The Biggest Dos and Don'ts](https://blog.puls.com/iphone-8-troubleshooting-guide)

When the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were announced alongside the higher-end iPhone X, they obviously gained less attention. Both iPhone 8 models were merely perceived as the natural successors of the iPhone 7, while X marked the future. In terms of design, the glass back was the only major differentiator between generations 7 and 8.

## [How to Fix Common Google Home Connectivity Issues](https://blog.puls.com/fix-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. It lets you interact with Google services using voice commands alone, listening to answers rather than reading them. All you have to do is say “OK, Google” and it listens.

## [How to Use Your Smart Home to Beat the Winter Blues](https://blog.puls.com/use-smart-home-beat-winter-blues)

The holidays are over, and now, for many of us, we’re stuck in the midst of the cold, dark winter season. If you live in a colder climate, this means several more months of ice, snow, ripping winds, freezing temperatures and the works. If you’re feeling a post-holiday slump this time of year, you’re certainly not the only one.
