The iPhone 7 has finally made its debut, which means that iPhone 7 cases are now coming out of the woodwork, too. And one of the first out of the gate? The case known for making your sleek, sexy, delicate device into something a bit … boxier — that’s right, the OtterBox has a new lineup of cases for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. And while you’ll still have to wait a bit to get the actual phone, you can go ahead and get a phone case today.

“Apple continues to drive the evolution of smartphone technology in ways that are shaping the human experience,” said OtterBox CEO Jim Parke. “OtterBox has been a part of the story since the very beginning, keeping that connection protected so that we can all capture, share, and connect with the world at large.”

The new OtterBox cases are backed by the company’s trademark Certified Drop+ Protection program, meaning each and every design has been subjected to more than 238 testing hours and 24 or more tests to ensure your new iPhone is truly protected. It doesn’t matter which of the cases you choose, though you have quite the selection from which to take your pick. There’s the Symmetry Series, which boasts “trendy graphics, colors, and clear case options,” and will keep your iPhone fitting in your (rather large) pocket.

Then, there’s the Strada Series Folio, which protects the iPhone 7 with a genuine leather folio. And if you want to level up a bit, there’s the Strada Series Limited Edition + Alpha Glass, which covers your iPhone 7 in a slim protective shell with premium, printed leather patterns, including snakeskin options.

If you’re looking for something a bit more industrial, you can always go with the Defender Series, whose three-layer case design promises to guard “against the toughest drops and tumbles.” With a built-in screen protector, you’ll keep your iPhone from getting too scratched up, and the outer slipcover and inner shell will cradle your device even when they succumb to gravity.

I tried Apple Fitness Plus as a beginner and loved what I found

When my Apple Watch Series 10 arrived, it came with a three-month trial for Apple Fitness Plus. It was just the right time, as I’d been out of the exercising loop for a few months and wanted to get back into it at my own pace.

But I was a bit worried about Apple Fitness Plus. Would it be suitable for me as a beginner? What I discovered was something way more motivational and fun than I expected.

After a long wait, iOS 18.2 has finally rolled out to the public at large and unlocked more Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground, Genmoji, and an upgraded Mail app. It might have also introduced a way to keep your hands warm on these frosty winter days, according to some users.

Reddit user u/dsdxp posted on the iPhone subreddit that they had unlocked a secret feature in the iPhone 16 Pro. The comment was obviously sardonic, but many other users responded with their own stories of troubling temperatures from their iPhones. The common element between all of the stories was the Image Playground app and the excessive heat it creates while in use.

Apple is about to stop selling multiple iPhones in Europe. Here’s why
The iPhone 14 Plus held in a man's hand.

The iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series will no longer be available for purchase in Europe at the end of the year. In an effort to make technology more consumer-friendly, the European Union ruled that any mobile device sold must be able to charge through USB-C, according to iGeneration. While more modern entries in Apple's lineup already meet those guidelines, the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 do not.

These aren't the newest additions to Apple's lineup, but the iPhone SE and the iPhone 14 series are still sold in Europe. These will be pulled from shelves as the deadline approaches. Customers have plenty of options, but this decision will leave the European market without an iPhone SE option until the next model releases in 2025.
