Sold online by Asian pop culture brand Kawaii Nation, the shock-resistant silicone case offers all the protection of a durian husk without causing a big stink.

Apple’s AirPods, Watch fail to escape Trump’s China tariffs
SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON -- Apple Inc's AirPods, Apple Watch and HomePod, which have helped the company offset waning sales of its bestselling iPhone this year, are not included in a temporary reprieve on tariffs by the Trump administration and will face a 10 percent levy on Sept 1. The administration said on Tuesday that some major items, such as laptops and cellphones, including Apple's MacBooks and iPhones, will not face tariffs until Dec. 15. President Donald Trump said the change was to avoid an impact on US customers during the Christmas shopping season. The tariff delay that affects some of Apple's biggest-selling products helped send its shares up more than 4 percent in late trading.

How Apple became a headline act for journalists at work and play
After having gained experience with these three devices for a period of time, I have found that they are helping to me to create a lot of professional content in any format, including voice recording, video and photos. And they help to enhance the lifestyle experience as well. In daily working life, the iPhone XS is not just a device for a phone call or email checking. It is crucial for a journalist's job, with the device being both a voice recorder and a camera capable of taking high-resolution photos suitable for use as the main picture in a lead story on a broadsheet newspaper. This is thanks to the dual-camera system, smart HDR, adjustable depth of field, and enhanced portrait mode selfies. The iPhone XS comes with a 5.8-inch super retina custom OLED display with all-screen design. The OLED panels allow for an HDR display with the industry's best colour accuracy, true blacks, and remarkable brightness and contrast. They are the sharpest displays, with the highest pixel … [Read more...] about How Apple became a headline act for journalists at work and play
