LG rolling out Android 5.0 to the G3 starting this week

LG has announced that its flagship G3 will start receiving an Android 5.0 Lollipop update this week, beginning with users in Poland. Naturally LG is staying clear of giving exact rollout dates for other regions, saying that "key markets" will get the update in "the near future." Of course that doesn't mean it's coming right away to G3 users around the world, but you have to think that if its ready to go for one model this week it's not far from hitting other devices, too.
As for specific new features and the rollout to other LG devices, things aren't so clear either. Based on the current information from LG it sounds like we're just waiting for it to actually hit phones before we'll know what LG has done with the latest software.
It'll be worth keeping an eye on the LG G3 forums for future bits of information as the software hits the wild.

BlackPods: Apple's New Black AirPods

Image
BlackPods (apparently both the name of the company and the end product) will take your ordinary shiny white AirPods, subject them to a 'three-phase approach' that yields a 'luxurious scratch-resistant finish', all for the nominal fee of $99. Alternatively, you can buy the AirPods straight from BlackPods and get the BlackPods for $249 - sounds like $9 worth of savings. That is, if you don't already own a pair. At $159, Apple's AirPods aren't exactly cheap, yet they're quite the bargain when you consider the wireless earbuds options. If only they could come in a color to match your Black iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 (in future) , Jet or otherwise. Well, now they can, sort of, courtesy of a company called BlackPods. Mind you, there's a waiting list you need to join at this point, so you can't order the BlackPods right away. It makes perfect sense though - Apple itself won't ship a pair of AirPods for another 6 weeks if you order tod...

Protect Your iPhone: iMessage Scam Alert and Safety Tips

Image
With the release of iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.2.1, Apple has implemented numerous security patches to keep iPhones safe and private. However, scams, phishing attacks, and malware remain an ongoing threat. A new iMessage scam is exploiting user behavior to bypass built-in protections. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe. What Is the New iMessage Scam? According to a report by Bleeping Computer, scammers are tricking iPhone users into disabling a key security feature in iMessage. This feature, by default, disables links from unknown senders to protect users. However, if you reply to certain messages—even with a simple “Y” or “Stop”—your iPhone will treat the sender as a known contact. This disables the link protection, making malicious links clickable. By clicking these links, users risk falling victim to malware, scams, or phishing attacks.  ...
