AGF Offers Some Armor for your iPhone

iPhone and iPod touch owners know that protective sleeves and cases for their precious iDevices are a dime a dozem—well, all right, they’re more like $20 to $50 apiece, but the point is that the market is not lacking for protective gear for iPhones. Some products are effective, some are stylish, some are silly—and some are all three—but very few can be describes as “tough.” They’ll do the job from bumping around in a backpack or purse, but not much more.

For folks looking for a sturdier solution, AGF has rolled out its Precision HSD Case for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The hardshell case is designed to ride on a belt, strap, or other accessible spot with a 180-swivel clip, and the hard shell case features a microfiber lining that accommodates an iPhone either screen-in or screen-out without actually latching to the phone. Users can easily flip open the case door to view calls or the phone’s status, and the hinge is engineered for strength and durability.

Style? Well, not so much. But it won’t get you kicked out of a corporate office or a police station.

The AGF Precision HSD case is available now at a suggested price of $34.95; AGF is offering free ground shipping in the continental United States.

Google is making it easier to ditch your iPhone for an Android phone

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro in hand.

Switching phones is never a smooth process, even if you’re switching between two different Android phones. However, when you’re trying to switch from an iPhone to Android or vice versa, it can be extra complicated -- and you can lose data and apps that you rely on. This is especially the case with Apple-to-Android transfers because the iPhone has a much stronger ecosystem lock-in with things like iMessage, iCloud backups, and exclusive apps like Overcast and Hyperlapse.

The good news is that with its Data Transfer Tool (also called Pixel Migrate on Pixel devices), Google may be trying to mitigate some of the phone-switching problems that arise -- specifically, losing access to your Live Photos. According to an APK teardown from Android Authority, Google’s Data Transfer Tool will finally resolve the problem of migrating iOS Live Photos to Android. It will do this by converting them over as Motion Photos.

Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy A03s -- $40, was $60

Samsung makes some of the best phones on the market, and while the Galaxy A03s might not fall under that banner, it is a great budget phone. It has a 6.5-inch HD+ with a 60Hz refresh rate, which is pretty solid, and the 3GB of RAM is not too bad either. That said, it only has 32GB of internal storage, although that can be upgraded with a MicroSD card, so it's not so bad. The phone comes paired with a Straight Talk plan, which you can get for as low as $15 a month.

Don’t expect a folding iPhone anytime soon

Concept render of foldable iPhone.

Samsung is expected to reveal the sixth-generation Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip in July. And what about Apple? A new report suggests the first foldable iPhone might not arrive until 2027 -- two years later than a previous rumor suggested.

According to TrendForce, “Apple is still evaluating component specifications and performance, with strict requirements for crease and reliability.” Further, “(Apple’s) entry could significantly shift market dynamics.” TrendForce monitors and forecasts demand for smartphone components.
