Ed Hardy atCult of Mac thinks doing so has lots of uses, particularly when it comes to streaming.Once your handset and the larger display are connected, you can watch the video from many streaming services. I’ve tested it with Apple TV+, Disney+, Amazon Prime, CBS All Access and YouTube — it works perfectly. According to the internet, Netflix and Hulu work, too. But not Xfinity Stream.That said, there are limitations. Apple’s adapter has an HDMI 1.4 port — it can handle 1080p video but not 4K. However, not all streaming services offer 4K, so you might not be losing anything.Also, you’re not watching a movie while scrolling through Instagram. Your iPhone will be fully occupied.But still, if you’re looking for a way to watch movies or shows on a full-size TV, you don’t need to buy a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, etc. All you need is your iPhone and Apple’s HDMI adapter.Uber Rent Car Hire Coming to UK to Help Social Distancing8:13 AM EDT, Sep 4th, 2020 · Charlotte Henry · LinkUber is rolling out Uber Rent, its car hire offering in the UK,The Vergereported.

Rental cars can then be picked up from the “hundreds” of car hire company pickup locations. The UK launch follows trials in France and Australia.The process works a little differently from Uber’s bike or scooter rentals. Although Uber says you’re technically able to make your booking at the same time as you pick up the vehicle (as you would when renting one of its Jump bikes in the UK), it encourages you to make car reservations at least 24 hours in advance. Rentals can be cancelled up to 48 hours ahead of collection and Uber is promising discounts on rentals of up to 25 percent.Not Just Apple vs Epic Games: App Store Drawing Scrutiny and Complaints in Japan7:57 AM EDT, Sep 4th, 2020 · Charlotte Henry · NewsThe Epic Games vs Apple App Store row has now attracted scrutiny and the airing of complaints in Japan – the world epicentre of gaming.Facebook Introduces Messenger Forwarding Limit3:26 PM EDT, Sep 3rd, 2020 · Charlotte Henry · NewsFacebook is introducing a forwarding limit on Messenger to help slow the spread of misinformation about COVID-19 and the U.S. election.Apple Pay Express Transit Now Works With LA Metro TAP Card3:09 PM EDT, Sep 3rd, 2020 · Charlotte Henry · NewsAfter some delay, the Apple Pay Express Transit now works with the Los Angeles Metro Transit Access Pass as well as in Washington, D.C.Big Tech Sues Patent Office Over Legal-Related Rule2:46 PM EDT, Sep 3rd, 2020 · Andrew Orr · LinkApple, Cisco, Intel, and Google have sued the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office over it’s recent rule that it can refuse to adjudicate patent claims while litigation about them is pending in court.The rule, which was introduced by the USPTO in March and became final in May, deals with the agency’s obligations around inter partes review (IPR) — a sort of expert-court process for assessing whether patent claims are valid.USPTO says deferring to an ongoing court case is more efficient than setting up a parallel review internally.Apple Gives Developers More Time to Comply With iOS 14 Privacy1:45 PM EDT, Sep 3rd, 2020 · Andrew Orr · Product NewsApple is giving developers more time to comply with the iOS 14 anti-tracking feature that empowers users to consent to be tracked (or not).123…787Next PageSupport TMOSupport TMO.
