11/2/2018, 12:47:28 AM

11/2/2018, 12:25:32 AM

Why claim Khashoggi's Apple Watch recorded alleged murder is unlikely 10/13/2018, 4:35:47 PM Experts have dismissed claims that a recording of the alleged killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi may have been transmitted using his Apple Watch. ✔ This means that even without a data connection, if Khashoggi was indeed wearing his Apple Watch, it's theoretically possible he could have been transmitting audio back to his iPhone via Bluetooth (it would have been incredibly unwise for someone like Khashoggi in self-imposed exile from Saudi Arabia to log into to the Saudi consulate's Wi-Fi) Just how water resistant is the iPhone Xs? 10/13/2018, 5:02:05 PM Water, wine, beer and bay: We tested the durability claims of Apple's new flagship to see how liquid-resistant it really is. ✔ Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing chief, even gave his blessing to take it off the deep end at the company's September keynote ✔ We decided to let it sit overnight to give it a ...
