Do you use your iPad naked (oooooh missus, the iPad, not you) or do hide all of the Apple design inside a case? I recently got sent through two cases to review from Caseit, these being the clip on hard case and a rotating case or Folio style …
Apple Pay. The unapologetically Apple payment system which aims to replace plastic (see what I did there?). 9to5Mac reports that Apple Pay will launch in the UK on July 14th 2015, and its sources are very, very specific. Another retailer shows the same date, with training kicking off …
