Apple today stopped signing iOS 18.3.2, a week after releasing the iOS 18.4 update. Now that iOS 18.3.2 is not being signed, iPhone users who have upgraded to iOS 18.4 are not able to downgrade to a version of iOS 18.3. It is typical for Apple to stop signing an older version of iOS after releasing an update, and the process keeps iPhone users from installing outdated versions of iOS. "Signing" refers to a server-side verification check that's done when versions of iOS are downloaded onto an ...

Ahead of when new reciprocal tariffs go into effect on April 9, Apple customers are scrambling to buy devices before prices go up. Multiple Apple employees that spoke to Bloomberg said their stores have been packed with customers "panic-buying" iPhones. "Almost every customer asked me if prices were going to go up soon," one Apple worker was quoted as saying. The rush at retail stores was comparable to the busyness of a holiday season, with Apple providing no guidance on what employees should te...

After an internal investigation, The White House has come up with a likely explanation for how Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was included in a Signal chat filled with Trump officials planning to bomb the Houthis. The Guardian reports that the issue came down to National Security Advisor Mike Waltz not understanding how his iPhone works. Apparently, after Goldberg attempted to contact the Trump campaign about a separate issue in 2024, Brian Hughes, a Trump spokesperson, s...

Last week's Switch 2 reveal might have had its exciting bits but it also brought its share of controversy too. There was the cost of the console itself, the cost of its games, or the perhaps surprising decision to charge owners for Switch 2's Welcome Tour tutorial game instead of including it for free - a decision Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen has now addressed, saying the newly confirmed $10 USD price reflects the "amount of care and work" put into it.

Nintendo uses a bitterant called denatonium benzoate applied to its Nintendo Switch cartridges to dissuade people from putting cartridges in their mouths. It’s a substance that tastes absolutely foul, often used in similar situations — to keep people from consuming things they shouldn’t be, like antifreeze. While a Nintendo Switch cartridge might not be poisonous,...

Unless some of the industry’s most reputable insiders and journalists have all been duped, then Bethesda’s reported Oblivion remake is one of the worst-kept secrets of the year so far. The Elder Scrolls 4 is one of the greatest RPGs ever, and a remake could fill some of the void between now and The Elder Scrolls 6. Rumors have suggested that the Oblivion remake could be in our hands before the summer hits, but now it’s claimed that it really could be right around the corner, with the game set to...

Players are gearing up for the arrival of the Switch 2 this summer, and we've been piecing together details about how game ownership and sharing will work. The picture is coming together, and in true Nintendo fashion, it's a bit odd. Developers who release projects on the Switch 2 will have the option to sell their work as a "Game-Key card," which looks like a traditional physical game cartridge, but has no game data stored on it. Instead, when slotted into a Switch 2, game-key cards will automa...

To lessen the impact from the tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump is putting in place this month, Apple will import more iPhones to the U.S. from India, reports The Wall Street Journal. The 26 percent tariff on goods imported from India will be less of a hit to Apple's bottom line than the 54 percent tariff on goods from China, the 46 percent tariff in Vietnam, or the 36 percent tariff in Thailand. Apple does not plan to make major changes to its supply chain because the tariff situation is...

But Friend Codes are sticking around. Adding friends on Nintendo Switch isn't our favourite thing in the world. Typing in a 12-digit unique code just so we can see what our besties are playing or join them in a quick game of Mario Kart feels a little antiquated, especially compared to PS5, Xbox, and Steam. For Switch 2, Friend Codes aren't going anywhere, but you'll at least be able to add friends in a brand new way. If you have the Nintendo Switch mobile app, anyway.

It was a volatile morning for Apple's stock, which quickly had a $17 swing during intraday trading. Apple shares opened at $177.24 today, as the company's stock price has continued to drop since U.S. President Donald Trump last week announced steep new tariffs. The tariffs will significantly impact Apple, which still assembles the majority of iPhones and many other devices in China, which is facing a 54% tariff starting April 9. About an hour into the trading session, however, Apple's stock brie...

However, for the next few days, there is a Black Ops 6 free trial that will let you access pretty much all of its multiplayer content and all five of its round-based Zombies maps for absolutely nothing.
