If you came of age in the pre-smartphone era, you already know the basics of phone etiquette. But now that texting and messaging apps have overtaken phone calls as the preferred method of staying in touch, it’s a good idea to become familiar with the dos and don’ts of texting as well. Here’s how to avoid being the bane of the group chat, telling someone it’s funny that their loved one died, and snubbing someone just by letting them see that you read their message!

Apple will hold a spring event on Monday, March 25, at 10 a.m. PT, at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California. You can easily watch the event on your device or Apple TV—we'll tell you how below. At the March event, Apple is expected to announce both a video streaming service featuring original content and a subscription service for news and magazines. In the days leading up to the event, Apple has quietly announced new iPads (including a new iPad mini 5!) and new AirPods via press release, mostly likely because the tech giant doesn't want any hardware announcements distracting the press from covering its services announcement on Monday. We'll be offering commentary during the event in our Facebook group and in the special podcast episode we'll be recording right after. Here’s how you can watch Apple's March event too.

It's official! Apple has sent out press invitations for the long-rumored March 25 event and updated its event page. The invitation came in the form of a GIF featuring a countdown animation and the tagline, "It's show time." If there was any doubt that this event would be focused on Apple's new video streaming service, the tagline has laid that to rest. We've got the details on how to watch the event and what Apple is expected to announce. Read on to get a taste of what we're anticipating with the upcoming spring Apple event.
