A Windows 10 Update For Your Mobile Device and a Live Apple Event on March 21st


Today Microsoft is starting to make Windows 10 updates available for its older mobile devices. To receive the Windows 10 update for your mobile device you will have to wait for your carrier to make the update available.  There is an App at the Windows store that informs you if you are able to update your device at the moment. The mobile version of Windows 10 is supposed to look similar to the desktop version of Windows 10 and is supposed to feature the sames app as well. Twitter was updated yesterday among all Windows devices. I don't have a Windows 10 phone so this update is irrelevant to me. If you want to know if your device is ready for the Windows 10 update, download the Upgrade Advisor app.

Apple is getting ready to unveil some new products including a new, smaller iPad Pro. Those who have the new Apple TV can download an app that will let you watch the unveiling of the some of Apple's new products which will take place on March 21st at 1 PM ET. There are rumors the new iPhone will be unveiled at this event. Some say the new iPhone will be called either the iPhone SE, the iPhone 5SE, or the iPhone 6c.  I'm guessing the next phone will likely be called the iPhone 6c if it is going to be called any of these names. Apple also might release some software updates for its mobile devices and its Apple TV, too.  It has been said streaming this live event might be difficult for some people. In terms of mobile devices, people will only be able to stream this live event if their device has iOS 7 software or later. For PCs and Macs, people will only be able to watch this event if they stream the event on Safari or Microsoft Edge. So what if I want to use Google Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser to view this event? You won't be able to use any  browser to view this event that isn't Microsoft Edge or Safari. This is dumb. What if you have a Chromebook or just do not prefer using Safari or Microsoft Edge? I use Google Chrome all the time to browse the web, I even set it as my default browser. I would be curious to view this event just to see what the new iPhone will look like because their have been multiple rumors throughout the year about Apple deciding not to put a headphone jack in the next iPhone so they could make it thinner and cut costs. What we do know about the new iPhone is it will be 4 inches tall. That seems to be the same height of the iPhone leading up to the iPhone 4. I would also like to see what the new iPad Pro will like. Apple says they will be unveiling a smaller version of the iPad Pro. I think the current iPad Pro model is way too big and I would, actually, like to see how big the next iPad Pro will be. It sounds like Apple is not planning to make an iPhone 7, yet, and I wonder why. I also wonder why Apple is making a smaller iPad Pro, though I believe it is probably because they thought the iPad Pro was too big themselves.
