Apple : The best SIM only deal ever has been extended - get unlimited data before it finally goes

Apple : The best SIM only deal ever has been extended - get unlimited data before it finally goes

The best SIM only deal ever has been extended - get unlimited data before it finally goes

Posted: 27 Apr 2019 07:00 AM PDT

If you've been keenly following our coverage of Three's unlimited data SIM deal (and we can only assume its a top priority for you!), then you'll know we've been loudly and proudly calling it the 'best SIM only deal ever' since its release over Black Friday.

Almost half a year on and we're deep into a game of cat and mouse. Three brings the deal back, extends it and then pulls it from us just when we were getting used to having it there. Now, once again extended now is the time to grab this offer before its cruelly pulled away again. 

Offering unlimited data for the grand price of just £20, Three has undercut the rest of the market by at least £5 a month, making it the go to choice for any hardcore streamers and Facebook scrollers out there. 

You can see this deal in full down below and compare it to the rest of the UK's SIM only deals, allowing you to see just how much you're saving.

Three's best ever SIM only deal in full:

Why go for a Three SIM only deal?

If you haven't already been won over by this amazing offer then you'll be excited to hear that Three doesn't shy away from offering up some extra incentives as well. Whether that be free exclusive prizes or extra roaming. You can see all of best parts of a Three SIM only deal down below.

  • Wuntu - Exclusive offers and freebies with Three's rewards app
  • Go Roam - Roaming abilities in 71 worldwide countries at no extra cost
  • Travel Swagger - Get travel upgrades with Easyjet with bag drop and early boarding

Probably the only downside is that you have to commit to a whole year if you go for this offer. At £240 for an entire 12 months of all-you-can-eat data, texts and calls, we think it's still well worthwhile. But if you're a commitment-phobe who wants more flexibility to cancel, then check out Smarty's £25 per month unlimited data SIM that only makes you commit to 30 days at a time instead.

If you're really brave, you could even binge your way through the older seasons before getting stuck into the new ones. It's tough out here avoiding spoilers, but some of us are trying it so we can hammer through season eight in one glorious weekend - this would explain the numerous office sightings of staff with fingers in their ears, shouting "La, La, La!" around the office whenever anyone even mentions the words, "Did you watch..."

Smart TVs are most convenient if they have the app available, but you'll also find it on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Chromecasts, Roku sticks and boxes, Apple TV, EETV, modern Youview boxes, mobiles, tablets or simply login with your PC or Mac.

So now all you need to figure out is whether your're going to stay up and watch or catch it at a more reasonable hour!

August pausing sales of its View doorbell over Wi-Fi problems

Posted: 27 Apr 2019 06:30 AM PDT

Bad news if you were planning to pick up an August View Doorbell Camera in the near future – the product has been pulled from the virtual and physical shelves while the manufacturer investigates Wi-Fi connectivity problems.

"We are aware of some performance challenges in specific user environments," says August. We did in fact note some connection issues in our own hands-on review.

"In order to fully evaluate the user feedback, implement critical improvements, run further testing, and keep our commitment to you, we are pausing shipping of the August View," adds the official statement.

The device will return at an unspecified date, August is promising, so watch this space for a relaunch once the problems have been fixed.

Get your money back

The August View has only been on sale for a few weeks. If you've already picked one up, you can return it to the place you bought it for a full refund.

Alternatively you can keep the doorbell and get a full refund if you're prepared to give August some help in troubleshooting the connectivity problem and getting it fixed – follow the link here for details.

With decent competition from the likes of Nest and Ring, August is going to be hoping the issue gets resolved sooner rather than later, so the device can be put back on sale.

"When you purchase an August product, you trust us with the most important parts of your life: your home and your family," says the company. "We value your trust greatly and it is our top priority."

Latest iPhone 11 leak says the next iPhone XR is getting a camera bump

Posted: 27 Apr 2019 02:30 AM PDT

There's now no shortage of leaks and rumors around the upcoming iPhone 11 phones, and we just got another tidbit of information to chew over: the successor to the iPhone XR is apparently getting a dual-lens rear camera this year.

That's according to Japanese blog Mac Otakara, which says it has its information directly from those in the know in the supply chain in China.

The iPhone XR 2 – or iPhone XI R? – is going to come with a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens just like the current iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, the report says, which should mean a better portrait mode and 2x optical zoom will be on offer.

It's actually a rumor we've heard before, so you can count this as a conformation of sorts for what Apple is planning. The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max, meanwhile, will get upgrades to triple-lens rear cameras.

Glass and ports

According to Mac Otakara, two out of the three lenses on the more expensive iPhones of 2019 will also be shared with the new iPhone XR model, which should help to keep manufacturing costs down.

All three iPhone 2019 models are being tipped to use 3D-molded glass for the back of the phones, possibly covering up the rear camera bump, the new report says.

There's also a prediction that Apple could include more powerful 18W USB-C chargers with its iPhone models this year – although the Lightning port will be retained, and Apple will bundle USB-C-to-Lightning connectors with the devices.

Add it to the pile of iPhone 11 rumors we've heard so far, covering everything from air sensors to bigger batteries. As usual, the new handsets are expected to be officially unveiled in September.

Dubai-based ASA Ventures considers itself a VC 2.0

Posted: 27 Apr 2019 01:09 AM PDT

In May 2019, Dubai-based venture capital firm ASA Ventures is starting a 12-week start-up booster programme called RevUp to give a helping hand to startups.

Venture capital (VC) is a financial lifeline for startups to keep them afloat as it goes through the requisite stages in its life cycle- especially at early stages when the company doesn’t have many customers or clients.

VCs usually choose startups according to a specific stage or sector, depending on their investment mandate. It goes without saying that a percentage of the equity goes to the VC, and in a perfect world, where every startup wins, so does the VC.

Danish Rizvi, Chief Operating Officer at ASA Ventures, told TechRadar Middle East that the days of the traditional VCs are over where funding is the only thing that an entrepreneur needs and will spell the difference between failure and success.

Say hello to VC 2.0

With the digital revolution, Rizvi says that entrepreneurs need someone other than themselves working on aspects of the business that they cannot single-handedly run during early stages.

“We add value to the start-up landscape and aim to change the current perception of VCs from being just a financial lifeline to VC 2.0.” 

He said that VC2.0 means providing start-ups with non-financial support and giving entrepreneurs access to the resources they wouldn’t otherwise have at such an early stage- all while adding real value to them. ASA has about 200 people to provide support for start-ups in sales, marketing, technology development, etc.

“Our target is to make the start-up profitable in three months. During these three months, we provide all the resources. It is a target for us as well as for the startups. Apart from that, we train them on fundraising and put them in different expos to showcase them,” he said.

If liquidity is needed, ASA can pump between $20,000 and $2 million with equity stake between 5 and 85 percent. More and more startups in Dubai need support beyond funding to become successful, and thus ASA Ventures becomes the co-founder that will work to make sure the startup comes out on top.

“We become equity partners and we don’t charge commissions. If it is good or bad, we share it equally. As we are investing our money, we want to make sure that what the start-up is doing is good at the end of the day and that is the model we have created,” he said.

ASA Ventures was started in Portugal in 2003 and moved to Dubai in 2013. The VC’s target is five startups every three months. It has operations in Portugal, Saudi Arabia, UK, Mauritius, India and Pakistan and aims to spread wings into Malaysia, Singapore and Oman.
