In case you haven’t noticed, the 2012 London Olympics are in full swing. What have you got to show for the international pride? If you’re an iPhone 4 or 4S owner, you’re in luck; Trü Protection is offering to giveaway one of each Spirit of Competition iPhone case away to three lucky readers! It’s a hard plastic case with Olympic-themed designs stylish enough to dress your gadget for the right season. Even when the Olympics is long gone, the Worldview print, which consists of various national flags, makes a wonderful statement about international convergence. Each case also runs for $30, so why not try at your chance to score one for free?

To be considered to win one of three Spirit of Competition iPhone cases, we want to hear an anecdote about your Olympian spirit moment: Tell us an inspirational story of when you felt you were a positive role model in someone’s life.

It could be to your younger siblings, a group of friends who look up to you, or even a stranger you chatted with one day while waiting for the train. By keeping up positive attitude, friendliness, open-mindedness, and listening to those who just need a friend, you could make a difference in someone’s life much like Olympians inspire in the fields. Again, we have three cases to give away so if you can make us cry a little from your story, the better your chances are of swaying me into handing over our precious prize. Contest ends Wednesday, August 8th at 12 a.m. pacific time. Get inspirin’!

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.
