Quickly becoming a yearly tradition for the company, HTC kicked off its Summer Sale event earlier today, offering sizable discounts for the One M9, Nexus 9, and a wide swath of accessories, including the Re camera.

Starting with the One M9, HTC is providing a 25 percent discount off the smartphone, effectively bringing the price down from $650 to $468.75. With the discount, HTC will also throw in its Uh-Oh protection plan, which nets you a replacement One M9 free of charge in the case of a broken display or water damage. At this sale price, it’s much easier for us to recommend the One M9, which we thought was a good, but not great, smartphone when we reviewed it back in March.

The discounts don’t end there, however, as HTC also offers a more substantial 40-percent discount for the Nexus 9 tablet. With the discount, the 16GB model goes from $400 to $239.40, while the 64GB variant goes from $479 to $287.40, rather impressive discounts for a tablet we gave an Editors’ Choice award to when we reviewed it last November.

Not surprisingly, HTC left the biggest discounts for its accessories, including the oft-forgotten Re camera, meant to be a competitor to the GoPros of the world. With its 50 percent discount, the Re goes from $200 to $99.50, though such a price point has been rather common over the past few months. Looking elsewhere, the 50 percent discount also applies to everything from cases to earphones, with even the Nexus 9 keyboard case discounted from its normal $129 price tag to $64.50

If you want to take advantage of any of these deals, it’d be best to do so with haste. The Summer Sale only goes on today through 11:59pm PT, so you’d be doing yourself a favor if you think quickly.

How to transfer your books from Goodreads to StoryGraph

Goodreads has been the only game in town for Android and iOS book-tracking for a long time now, and like most monopolies, it has grown old and fat. Acquired by Amazon in 2013, avid book readers have had lots to complain about in recent years, with the service languishing unloved, with no serious updates and an aging interface. It's been due some serious competition for a long time, and lo and behold, some has arrived. StoryGraph is a book-tracking app that offers everything you'll find on Goodreads but with an algorithm that lets you know about what you might love, and adds features any bibliophile will know are essential — like a Did Not Finish list.

The next iOS 18 update is on its way. Here’s what we know

When iOS 18.2 released just over a week ago, it unlocked a lot of long-awaited features like Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, and improvements to writing tools. Now, it seems like another update could be just around the corner: version 18.2.1.

MacRumors found evidence of the update in their analytic logs, a source that has supposedly revealed quite a few iOS versions before release. Given that this is a minor update, it isn't likely to come with new features or anything groundbreaking. Instead, it will most likely be targeted at bug fixes, although no specific problems have been named. You should expect this update to drop either in late December or early January, but a year-end release is more likely.

If your iPhone can handle iOS 18.2, it can probably handle iOS 19

The last few iPhone updates have brought a lot of changes with them. Just take a look at iOS 18.2: It introduced a ton of AI-powered features that had never before been available. If you have an older phone, it's easy to worry that its hardware won't be up to snuff for the next round of updates. For now, you can breathe easy: If your iPhone can handle iOS 18, then it should also work with iOS 19, according to a new leak.

The news comes from the French site iPhoneSoft. Although Apple guarantees five years of support for its devices, some devices get supported for longer periods of time, but this tip suggests that any phone currently capable of downloading and installing iOS 18 will also work with iOS 19, although some features could be limited.
