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’!

This one Apple Fitness feature completely changed how I exercise

Someone holding an iPhone with the Apple Fitness app open, showing the Custom Plans feature.

I have a confession to make: I'm not good at sticking to a workout routine. I love running, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, etc. In the moment of those exercises and in the post-workout euphoria, I feel amazing. But when it comes to waking up early in the morning to do these things before work? Well, that's where I really struggle.

This has been a problem for a while now. I go to bed with the goal of waking up early and going to the gym, but as I groggily open my eyes to snooze the alarm on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I end up falling back asleep. And I've been repeating this over and over and over again.

Best refurbished iPhone deals: Get an iPhone 14 for $513

An iPhone 13 in white color option.

The Apple iPhone is one of the best phones on the market, and because of it they don’t often come cheap. There are some great iPhone deals out there, but it’s rare to find significant discounts on newer models without having to commit to a longterm contract with a carrier, and it’s even less frequent you come across one of the best iPhones with a major price drop. This is where shopping refurbished can come in handy. Refurbished iPhones — for the most part — will come backed with a functionality guarantee or extended return window, making refurbished iPhones as safe of a purchase as shopping new. There are a lot of refurbished iPhone models seeing great price drops right now, which is why we’ve done the heavy lifting of rounding up all of the best refurbished iPhone deals. You’ll find them below, as well as some information on which refurbished iPhone might be best for you.
iPhone XR -- from $136

A refurbished model but one that's unlocked and comes with a full one-year warranty, the Apple iPhone XR is still pretty stylish for its age. It has a large 6.1-inch LCD screen with 1,792 x 828 resolution with Liquid Retina technology ensuring it looks super sharp. Powered by the A12 Bionic chip, it's starting to show its age but still has potential. There's also a 12MP back camera that can shoot 4K videos while the front-facing camera is 7MP and ideal for selfie-taking.

Nomad’s new iPhone case and Apple Watch band may be its coolest yet

Nomad Glow 2.0 Sport Case and Apple Watch Sport Band in daylight.

Though the world of Apple accessories is a dime a dozen, one of the better brands that you can buy is Nomad. Nomad has a variety of amazing leather Apple Watch bands and cases, as well as non-leather options, too. In August 2023, Nomad released a one-of-a-kind Glow in the Dark Apple Watch band that sold out in about 12 hours.

Since that Glow in the Dark band was a limited edition, no one was sure if Nomad was going to re-release it, and this explains the high resale prices you’ll find on eBay. But Nomad just released the Glow 2.0 Apple Watch Sport Band as well as a new Glow 2.0 Sport Case for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. And, yes, they're just as wonderful as before.
