How to Download Other People’s Instagram Stories (iOS/Android)

So I’m not sure I can think of a why you’d want to download someone else’s story necessarily. Maybe you’re a big fan of someone and want a keepsake? I don’t know. But I did think it was super interesting that you even could save someone’s story so figured I’d do a quick tutorial on how to do that for anyone who has a reason to or just wants to see how it’s done. Essentially, […]

The Fastest Phone of 2017 (Surprising Results) (Video)

Doing a quick series of experiments here on the channel. I wanted to put all of the best phones of 2017 up against one another in a series of scientific not really that scientific challenges. Today, we’re going to start with speed. For this experiment, I put each device, on the same wifi network, installed the same popular apps and games that will, in this case, represent normal use, closed all of their open apps,

How to Check if Apple is Slowing Down Your iPhone (& What to Do About It)

Welp, Apple recently admitted to slowing down users’ iPhone processor speeds when iOS detects that the device has a battery that is suffering. Along with this admission after the outrage from people calling Apple out for deliberately slowing down their iPhones to get them to upgrade to new ones, Apple also announced that if you have a phone with an affected battery you can go to an Apple store and get the battery replaced to

Does Wifi, Airplane Mode, & Screen On Affect Charging Times? (Surprising Results) (Video)

I did a video recently where I compared the new faster charger solution for the iPhone 8 Plus to the iPad charger and when I did it I didn’t think to turn off the Wifi on one device so one had it and one didn’t and you guys pointed it out. Now, I didn’t think of it because I assumed it wouldn’t make much of a difference. But with how many of you guys call

Face ID vs Touch ID: Which is Faster?

It’s the big debate, isn’t it? With the new iPhone X completely removing the home button and fingerprint sensor in favor of a facial recognition system instead, people are up in arms about TouchID vs FaceID. I’ve been using FaceID for a bit now, and even tested it with my buddy E from BooredAtWork, and I have to admit it works pretty well. But, it got me wondering, how does it actually compare to TouchID

How to Fix the iOS 11.1 i Glitch (Video)

Figured I’d quickly do a video to show people how to fix the iOS 11.1 i glitch. If you aren’t familiar iOS 11.1 has a pretty nasty glitch that causes autocorrect to turn your lowercase “i” into an A and a Unicode symbol that shows up as a question mark instead of capitalizing it to “I”. Apple has said they’ll fix it with an update but they give a workaround to help in the meantime. Here’s

Why You Won’t Miss the Home Button on the iPhone X (Video)

One of the biggest complaints, I’ve seen online about the iPhone X (besides the loss of TouchID) is the fact people are angry about having to learn how to navigate iOS without a home button. Instead of the home button and normal swiping up to get to control center, down to get notifications, etc. things have been swapped around. All of this, of course, begs the question: what’s even real anymore?! Don’t panic though, turns

How to Use Animoji (Video)

Welp, the iPhone X is finally here and with it, Animojis. These animated emojis (get it??), as annoying as some people find them, are getting a lot of attention. I have to admit, I’ve sent the poop one more times than I probably should have in the short time I’ve had the phone. Regardless, they’re novel and it is pretty impressive how it’s able to track the muscles in your face as well as it

Samsung Gear Sport Complete Walkthrough (Video)

Samsung just launched the new Gear Sport and I got a little hands-on time with it and think I’ve figured it out at this point so here’s my complete walkthrough of the device for anyone curious. The watch is aimed at fitness (hence the Sport) and looks the part fitting somewhere between the bulkier smartwatches I’ve seen but not quite as slim and sleek as the analog watches I’d usually wear out. It comes in

What is Qi Wireless Charging (& Why You Definitely Want It)

So maybe you’ve heard of this Qi wireless charging? The ability to simply set down your phone on a mat of some sort and it just magically charges. It’s been around for a while actually–slowly gaining supported devices. But, now, with the latest iPhones adopting it, in addition to it already being widely adopted by tons of phone manufacturers like Samsung, LG, etc. and other industry giants like Starbucks and IKEA, it’s probably safe to

Video: iPad Charger vs Apple’s New Fast Charger (Surprising Results)

So I recently did an experiment comparing the $75 Apple fast charging on the iPhone 8 Plus vs the included charger and while it was faster by a decent amount it’s still $75. A bunch of you in the comments pointed out the old iPad charger truck from the iPhone 6 which is that even back then iPhones had a form of faster charging built in and if you plugged them into an iPad charger

How Fast is Fast Charging on the New iPhones?

You’ve probably seen the whole debacle about the new iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X support a form of fast charging but Apple doesn’t include the compatible fast charger with the phones and apparently, if you were to buy one that is compatible from Apple, it’d run you about $75 plus tax. The reason for this price is that you need to buy a specific USB-C to lighting cable for $25 ($35 if you want a

How to Turn Your Watch into a Smartwatch (Video)

So what if you want the features of a smart watch but you don’t want to actually go out and buy a smartwatch? Maybe you have a watch that you already love or maybe you don’t need all the features of a fancy touchscreen smartwatch and don’t want to spend the money on one. Is there a way to just get notification alerts, fitness tracking, control your music, etc.? Short answer? Yes. This little coin-shaped

Why You Should Buy the iPhone X Instead of the iPhone 8

I don’t see any reason why anyone would get an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus instead of just waiting for the X. Let me explain. Features First up, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are upgrades to the iPhone in very much the same way that most new iPhones are–incremental and with just enough features to try and entice you to ditch your current iPhone for the latest one. And they are definitely upgrades to
