Hello Readers, Olena here! Are you excited to take lots of photos during the holidays? I've peppered this newsletter with tips on how to take photos of the moon (which can be applied to fireworks too), how to use Night mode in the Camera app, and how to turn flash off. I hope these tips will help you capture precious memories of your time with your loved ones. I also included a tip on how to mute your group text, to help you unplug and be present. Happy holidays!
Why You Need a VPN in 2026
Here's the truth: something as innocent as checking your email on public Wi-Fi can leave you vulnerable to security attacks. Public networks — airports, hotels, coffee shops — are easy targets. And most people have no idea their traffic is exposed.
That's why we recommend NordVPN to iPhone Life readers. It encrypts your internet connection so no one can snoop on your activity, scans downloads for malware, alerts you if your email or passwords have been compromised in a data breach and keeps your connection fast (which not all VPNs can say). Right now, you can get 77% off NordVPN, plus up to 1 year free.
