Bug in iOS 9.3 lets you make folder icons circular – here's how to take advantage of it


Bugs in iOS aren’t usually very fun. In fact, they can mess up your beloved handset or tablet pretty bad if Apple’s developers have had a particularly rough patch at work. Strange as it may seem, though, happy accidents do happen as well! For all the system errors that could crash your iPhone or iPad when you needed it the most, there’s one glitch that does something completely zany and unexpected – like make all the app folders you created appear as circles, instead of rounded rectangles!

ZTE CEO teases upcoming Axon 2 flagship


A teaser image of ZTE’s upcoming Axon 2 flagship was shared by the Chinese company’s CEO Zeng Xuezhong on Weibo. While the device’s TENAA listing already revealed the front and the back of the device, the new teaser image focuses on the phone’s bottom, and compares it with the bottom of the iPhone 6s and the Huawei P9.


One can’t help but notice the minimalistic design (sans any screws and speaker) that differentiates the Axon 2 from the other two flagship smartphones. However, it’s worth mentioning that this design is not new to ZTE phones, as – for example – the Axon and Axon Elite…

Mass Marshmallow roll-out for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F is now under way


Samsung is another step closer to completing its originally promised Android Marshmallow update schedule, as Marshmallow has started hitting N910F Galaxy Note 4 units around Europe. Now that most owners of the Exynos-based N910C model as well as many carrier versions of the handset already have their Android 6.0 OTA, this new wave of updates for the popular Snapdragon 805 version of the two year old phablet might actually be one of the final steps within the Marshmallow update cycle for older Note devices.

Bejeweled Stars Is A New Match-Three Game On Drugs, With Space Llamas... And IAPs


Match-three games are inherently derivative at this point – there’s only so much spin you can put on a genre so played-out that even your grandma is probably getting a bit bored swapping kitty cats for lollipops in a landscape best described as the pink-and-yellow paletted fever dream of a six-year-old.

Google introduces trio of Jeff Koons-designed Nexus Live Cases
