iPhone Life - Best Apps, Top Tips, Great Gear

We use the internet for just about everything; shopping, banking, communicating with friends and family, and storing music, photos, and videos. It's vital to safeguard all the personal data associated with these services with a different, strong password for each account. A password manager can help you generate and keep each password safe. There are lots of reputable, free password keepers to choose from, including 1Password, True Key, and LastPass. We'll go over the features of these apps so you can choose the best option for your needs. We'll also cover how to install a password app, and how to use it once you have. Let's get started.  

I've used a number of charging options from Limitless Innovations, but the latest item they sent, the ChargeHub X5 Elite E3005 ($79.99), may be the best yet. It accommodates the latest devices, with four USB-A ports, one USB-C port and integrated Qi Wireless Charging. You can charge a wide variety of gadgets with minimal wiring and just one A/C port.

Every year, our team of editors comb the far reaches of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to find the best new technology for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch users. The following Best of CES 2019 Awards go to the most forward-thinking and useful iOS gear coming to market this year.

I had been considering using an old iPhone as a car dash cam, but when Autowit sent me its Front & Rear Dual Dash Camera Recorder Mirror ($69.99) I gave up on trying to make my own! It's much nicer to have a device that is purpose-built for recording. And the price makes it attractive. Plus there are features an iPhone or even other dash cams can't match.

Live from Las Vegas! Listen as David and Donna cover the top tech trends from the Consumer Electronics Show 2019 as well as share the winners of iPhone Life's Best of CES Awards to the best iOS gear they discovered on the show floor.

When the folks at Ashley Chloe wanted to send me their LUX True Wireless Headphones ($89.99) I wasn't sure, as a human male, that I was the right audience. They market the earbuds for women; but while women will certainly appreciate the attention, I found them to be quite suitable for men, too! The box says "Female Fit," which suggests that they work with smaller ears and don't interfere with earrings (which Apple's AirPods could.) But men could appreciate this as well. After all, once you remove the earbuds from their pink box, and select from the larger ear tips (three sizes are included), they work fine for men who may indeed have larger ears. 

No matter what you're looking for in a speaker, the odds are pretty good that iHome has something that meets your needs. The company even has cosmetic mirrors that double as Bluetooth speakers. iHome sent me the iAV14 Alexa Bedside/Home Office Speaker ($99.99) to check out and I do indeed like that it has Alexa built in. Amazon has redefined what a speaker should be; and if you're going to spend $100 it should include a smart home assistant, which the iAV14 does. Another nice touch is that it supports Spotify, if you use that music streaming service.
