3 Reasons why you should download Gboard for your iPhone

Google released a new keyboard app for the iPhone a couple of days ago and I think it is the best thing in the world. Here is 3 reasons why you should download Google’s Gboard for your iPhone.

This keyboard has a special button at the top left in which you can press it and do a google search. You can search for just about anything and when you find something you like, you can copy it as a “card.” If your in iMessage, you can send that card as a photo and it looks really nice. I love this feature because you can send someone some information that is quick and easy. That’s not all with the Google button, you can also search for GIFs, Emoji, nearby points of interest, weather, news, and sports scores.

Opinion: A letter to Instagram.

Dear Instagram peoples,

You are awesome. You are the main reason why I am on my phone, and I love the way your new app looks. The white bottom nav looks great and the new user interface all around is pretty okay. Except for one major, major thing. Your icon.

I am not even proud to have that piece of garbage icon on my home screen. That gradient[?] on behind a rather attractive new icon is awful. It makes my eyes crawl into the back of my head. It is the reason why I want to drink bleach.

Please, re-do your new icon. And don’t go back to the old one, just re-do this one. Please.

Please.
Please.
PLEASE.

PLEASE.

A (somewhat) happy user,
Lance

Apple has fixed autocorrecting!

Written by Joey Peters

Don’t you just hate it when you spell something the right way but auto correct changes it to something else? That is about to change because of Apple.

Apple filed a patent for this a little bit ago and in this patent it showed us that Apple is working on a new feature maybe to come out in IOS 10. It works like this, when you send a text, whenever auto correct changes a word that you typed, your recipient will see the word underlined. Now that underlined work can be touched and when touched, a list of 3 words will pop up above that and those 3 words are suggestions of what Apple thinks that they might have meant instead of the word that it was changed to.

So now your friend can see when you type a word and it is spelled wrong and if their is a lot of misspelled words then they can see that and it actually could be embarrassing seeing how many words they spelled wrong especially if it was a word that is really easy to spell and they had to use auto correct for it!

Now what does this mean for Apple. If this is true and they come through with this then Apple is going to be a whole lot richer because now companies will have to pay Apple to use this feature because they patented it. I really hope they do stay with this idea because it could actually be very cool and not have anymore embarrassing mistakes when typing.

Apple’s New MacBook

Written by Joey Peters

So right out of the blue Apple came out and released a new MacBook. Nothing actually has really changed in which I am kind of disappointed by. I’m happy that they made it just a little bit better but they could have added a whole lot more than just a better processor and better battery life.

The new processors are now skylake which are expected to also see a debut on the new MacBook Pro that will become announced at WWDC 2016 this year. They all start at the same GHz but now they turbo boost 2 more GHz than the older model processors. It is an improvement but not that big of a improvement.

They somehow fit even more battery life into that tiny piece of thing. I can’t believe that they fit more in. Instead of about 7 hours of battery you are now going to get around 10 hours of battery life which is now on par with the MacBook Pro. They will probably implement the battery technology that they used on the MacBook into the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro will probably have a monster battery when it gets refreshed.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you can now buy it in a new color which would be Rose Gold (pink).

I was expecting more from Apple like another USB-C port on it so you can charge it and use an adapter at the same time because I can see how it could be very annoying. I can’t believe they didn’t add it because that would have made everybody that has a MacBook (2015) would want to upgrade to the new MacBook (2016) just for the extra port and Apple would have made a lot more money to make up for the iPhone sales declining.
