In a bid to get more schools and educational institutions to use their products and services, Apple recently held and education event in which they unveiled a new and affordable iPad with Apple Pencil support which will be priced at $299 for schools. However in addition to this, Apple also announced free iCloud storage for students.
According to Apple, Apple student accounts through schools will be eligible to receive a free 200GB iCloud storage account. As it stands Apple only offers a measly 5GB of storage for free to all users, and as you can imagine the bump from 5GB to 200GB is a huge leap and naturally some customers aren’t too thrilled by it.
Note that this isn’t the same as Apple Music student pricing where students with a valid .edu email address can signup for it. Instead students can only get it with school provided Apple IDs. We’re not sure what will happen when students graduate and if they can keep the 200GB account, but we imagine probably not.
As it stands Apple offers iCloud storage in three paid tiers where 50GB (the base tier) is priced at $0.99 every month. This is followed by 200GB at $2.99 a month, and 2TB at $9.99 a month. Granted they are relatively affordable but hey, free is always better, right?

Vivo is the first smartphone maker to launch a handset with an in-display fingerprint sensor, but it looks like Xiaomi could be next because according to a report from XDA, Xiaomi’s next flagship smartphone could very well pack the feature. This is according to rumors and also some evidence found in some firmware.
Xiaomi’s next flagship is expected to be the Mi 7. The handset was originally rumored for a launch at MWC 2018 but that didn’t happen. Instead the rumors claimed that the handset’s launch was delayed as Xiaomi wanted to incorporate an in-display fingerprint sensor into the phone, which XDA has recently found evidence of in firmware data.
However it should be noted that the firmware that referenced the in-display fingerprint sensor was referred to an “old” model, which XDA believes might have been scrapped in favor of a newer model. This has led to speculation that the Mi 7 might not pack the in-display sensor, but rather it could be featured in the presumably larger Mi 7 Plus.
All of this is conjecture at this point in time so it is hard to say if we are reading too much into this or if there could be some truth to these claims. That being said, we did manage to test out Vivo’s use of an in-display fingerprint sensor at CES earlier this year and while it did work as promise, it was marginally slower compared to traditional sensors.

With so many mobile payment services available at the moment, how does one choose which service to use? Some might do it out of loyalty, others might do it because it is more widely accepted, or in the case of Google Pay, it seems like Google is tempting users with referral program.
This particular referral program is particularly lucrative as it allows users to earn up to $100 in credit. How does that work? Basically for every friend you invite to Google Pay who makes a valid purchase using the system, you and that friend will earn $10 in Google Play credit. This can be repeated up to 10 times, which means that in theory you could earn as much as $100 just by referring friends and getting them to make purchases.
This program actually kicked off back on the 15th of March, but not to worry if you missed out the past couple of weeks because it will end on the 14th of May, meaning that you still have about a month and a half to take advantage of it. However it should be noted that the Google Play credit must be redeemed in 28 days otherwise it will disappear.
Also we should point out that the referral program isn’t valid everywhere and so far only appears to be valid for those living in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Poland, and Russia. More details about the program can be found on Google’s website.

When it comes to gaming accessories, we have seen in the past where manufacturers love to include RGB LED lighting to make them seem more “gamer-ly”. Logitech is no exception to this as the company recently unveiled a set of desktop gaming speakers with built-in RGB LED lighting.
This is why it makes the company’s latest announcement so interesting because Logitech has recently unveiled their latest gaming headset, the Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset. However as you can see from the photo, this headset is definitely not the flashiest gaming headset we’ve seen, plus it has probably the most mundane name ever as far as gaming headsets are concerned, but according to Logitech, it has been designed for professional gamers in mind.
According to the company, “The new headset includes Logitech G’s advanced Pro-G drivers, which means you can hear every footstep and spell in super-efficient detail, while directional audio, combined with exceptional clarity, gives exceptional awareness during gameplay.” It will also feature leatherette earpads that offer 50% more sound isolation than other earpads.
It also features a built-in microphone with a “pro-grade” pop filter and noise cancellation for better audio quality. As for pricing, it’s actually priced somewhat competitively at $90 and is available via Logitech’s website.
