The iPhone 7's home button appears to be rendered helpless by gloves


With the iPhone 7 duo now officially out and already shipping to users, the hype is at an all-time high. Most are busy either waiting for a unit, praising the Cupertino genius or alternatively, mocking the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack and the AirPods, or if not that, coming up with outlandish ways to torture units on camera for those all-important YouTube views. You know, just the usual Apple launch activities. However, all these antics seem to have overshadowed a potentially showstopping design flaw, that was recently discovered by one Myke Hurley, seemingly almost by chance.

Amazon offering 35% discount on Fossil Q Founder if you order through Alexa


If you are planning to purchase the Android Wear-powered Fossil Q Founder, you’ll be glad to know that Amazon is selling the model with stainless steel bracelet for just $191.75, which translates into a discount of $103.25 or 35%.


There’s, however, a catch: the deal is only available when you order the watch through Amazon Alexa, meaning you need to have an Alexa-equipped device, such as Echo. To order, all you have to do is to say “Hey, Alexa, buy the Fossil Q Founder stainless steel smartwatch,” and follow the steps that ensue.

Apple Watch Series 2 unboxing: Apple's smartwatch grows up and learns some new tricks


It’s been two years now since Apple first introduced us to the Apple Watch, and a little under a year and a half since the smartwatch reached retail availability.

Rather than rush a new smartwatch to market just one short year after its introduction, Apple took its time to figure out what it wanted to change … – Source
