We can’t say enough positive things about the iPhone XR — from its all-day battery life to its gorgeous color and its perfect size. With its 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display, it’s slightly smaller than the XS Max and a bit bigger than the XS — the ideal size for one-handed texting or swiping. Amazon is offering it in red, and the striking color helps mask any fingerprints on the back, as well as being eye-catching. This is Apple’s first single-lens camera phone, but the 12-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization offers nearly zero shutter lag, giving crisp, well-exposed photos with vivid colors — and it’s great in low-light environments too.

You won’t need to worry about constantly charging the XR either, as the 2,942mAh battery easily has enough juice for a full day, perhaps even lasting into the next day if you forget to charge it. Speaking of charging, there’s support for fast charging and wireless charging, so you have plenty of options. The iPhone XR deal on Amazon is locked to the Simple Mobile network, and you can choose from a variety of plans to suit your needs, with no activation fees and no credit checks required. You’ll receive a Simple Mobile SIM kit with full instructions and everything you need to get up and running.

With $200 off the iPhone XR, bringing the price down to just $399, this is the time to bag yourself a bargain if you’re looking for an iPhone that offers day-long battery life, a fantastic camera, and excellent value for money. You’ll need to move quickly though, as this deal is likely to be ending soon.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week. 

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

One of my favorite things about macOS is that it comes with default apps to handle your everyday tasks. You get Safari to browse the web, the Mail app to handle your emails, and the Preview app to open and view photos and PDFs.

But what if you want to use a third-party app you prefer over the default app? Thankfully, Apple makes it easy to change the default apps on your Mac. So, whether you want to use Google Chrome or Outlook, here’s how you can set them as the default on your Mac.

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.
