At Monday's WWDC keynote, Apple announced a flurry of fun new features. With OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, your Mac and iPhone are closer than ever, opening the door to the Future of Computing. Too bad iPhone 4 users won't get to enjoy any of it—and neither will anyone with an even older phone.
Samsung has, to some surprise, won a patent battle against Apple that could see the iPhone 4 and 3G iPad 2 banned from sale in the US.

Not even Siri's voice-recognition capabilities can match the efficiency of jotting down a quick note on a piece of paper. So we like this simple binder clip adorned iPhone case that keeps a small stack of paper close at hand.
