| Relax, you won’t lose photos from your iPhone If you receive an email with this subject line, you won’t have to worry. Rest assured, that email is not a scam, and there’s no need to worry. Your photos are completely safe and not at any risk. Previously, Apple offered a service called “My Photo Stream” that automatically synced the last month’s worth of photos (up to 1,000) across all your Apple devices logged in with your AppleID. It was particularly convenient for iPhone users who could easily access recent pictures on their iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. However, Apple has discontinued this service as it was not a core feature and providing it for free incurred costs for Apple. Many users may not have even been aware that this service existed. If you were someone who made use of My Photo Stream, don’t fret! There is a fantastic alternative available: Google Photos. It offers similar functionality and can serve as a great replacement for managing your photos. |

These start at $49. Android has no one ubiquitous tracking system, so it relies on other phone owners using the same tracker brand. These brands include Tile, Chipolo, MyTag, resQR, Jiobit, and, recently, Samsung Galaxy SmartThings Tag.Update: Google has announced it will be working with Tile and other third-party devices on a ubiquitous Find My Device feature that will anonymously leverage billions of Android devices around the world to help you track down lost or stolen items, even when they’re offline. There is no date for the new functionality except to say ‘soon’. READ MORE… |

The C845’s full array backlight provides exceptional dimming precision thanks to thousands of miniature LEDs, reducing halo effect and increasing picture quality compared to traditional edge-lit backlights. Its high peak brightness of 2000 nits makes for an excellent HDR experience with huge dynamic range that makes compatible content spring to life. Its high contrast ratio means darker blacks and brighter whites. |
 The C745 provides a quality Q-led screen with vivid colours, clear contrast, and excellent brightness. TCL’s display technology provides a high 144-hertz variable refresh rate with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification, making it an excellent platform for both PC and console gaming. |
