Before I headed out on a four-month trip to the island of Hawaii this past October, I put a lot of research and thought into what kind of rugged iPhone 7 accessories I would bring. I wanted to ensure the safety of my iPhone 7, as I knew it would be a valuable tool in documenting the trip. The most obvious accessory was a protective waterproof iPhone 7 case. And while my rugged iPhone 7 case ultimately did the job, there were some close calls with water, rocks, sand, heat, and yes, even a volcano. Now, if my iPhone had fallen into a volcano, I seriously doubt any case would have saved me from that loss. However, having been through this adventure with my iPhone 7, I came back to the mainland with a better understanding of what rugged iPhone gear I could have gone a little more “hard-core” with, as well as some ideas about what I could have brought with me but didn’t. Here are the top seven rugged iPhone accessories I will bring on my next adventure, from an outdoor Bluetooth waterproof speaker and portable solar panels to an iPhone camera lens kit and Bluetooth shutter remote.

There are a few different ways you might want to hide messages on iPhone. If you want to keep your messages private, learn how to turn off message preview, which will allow you to still see a text message alert on Lock screen but won’t show any part of what the message says. You also have the option to hide text messages from your Lock screen completely. iPhone message preview is a feature we can easily turn on or off in settings on iPhone. If you’re not trying to hide all of your text messages on iPhone, you can send a text message with invisible ink if you’re using iOS 10. That’s another fairly easy way to keep your text message private while still allowing message previews on Lock screen. Here’s how to hide text messages on iPhone.


As Siri gets smarter, Siri is becoming increasingly helpful. For instance; no matter where in the world you are, you can ask Siri to call the emergency number from where you live and the AI will dial the local emergency number instead. (That's why you should ignore the people who try to trick you into saying, "Hey Siri, 108." 108 is the emergency services number in India. Saying 108 to Siri is the same as asking the digital assistant to dial 911 or 999 or whatever your local equivelant is.) In addition to being smarter and more helpful with each update, Siri has plenty of witty responses for all kinds of occasions. You can ask Siri to tell you a story, give you a customized daily update, and around Halloween, Siri can give you some very clever costume ideas, including bending time and space to avoid dressing up at all. The AI is witty and has grown increasingly sassy, but how philosophical is Siri? I decided to ask Siri, “what is the meaning life?” Her answers are surprisingly accurate at times and downright hilarious at others.

I've had the experience of finding a smartphone and having a hard time figuring out who the owner is. It always seems urgent, since I know the owner is desperately looking for it.

Here’s how to return a lost iPhone or iPad to its rightful owner.

The number of Bluetooth wireless speakers available on the market is staggering, and choosing which one to buy is like choosing which outfit to wear. Depending on the occasion, the right speaker can make the difference between an enjoyable experience and an infuriating one. While some manufacturers have designed for very specific use cases, others, like 808 Audio, have opted for a kitchen sink approach. Hence, its Hex Encore XL Wireless Speaker ($399.99) is the Swiss army knife of speaker units. Does it accomplish these objectives successfully and, more importantly, does it sound great doing so? Read on to find out.

Instagram introduced My Story to the app a while back. My Story allows users to film or snap pictures and short videos to share with their followers. If a follower is on at the right time, they can even tune into your Story in real time, or they can tap on your circle at the top of their Instagram feed later on to watch it. Your Story lasts a day before disappearing, allowing your followers to keep up with you in yet another way. But maybe there are some followers you’d rather didn’t view your Story on Instagram. You have the option to hide your Instagram Story from specific people; here’s how.

How to Remove Sent from my iPhone Email Signature (iOS 17)

The default iPad and iPhone signature in iOS Mail is "Sent from my iPad" or "Sent from my iPhone."

Here's how to remove or change your email signature.

People are asking, "Can I use my iPhone to type on the Apple TV?" The answer is yes! Being able to use your iPhone or iPad to enter text instead of the Siri remote is a huge bonus. Using Siri or the Siri remote to input text on the fourth-generation Apple TV can be a real pain.

Here’s how to use your iPhone or iPad to type on the Apple TV.

If you’re concerned about Notes disappearing on your iPhone, creating all your Notes in your iCloud Notes folder is the best way to go.
