Native Union iPhone Charger
Nick Bright spoke about this really cool iPhone Charger here and it solved a LOT of problems!
It’s called the Native Union iPhone Charger and it has a FAT knot at the end of it.
Unparalleled Strength
NIGHT Cable’s brand new construction for 2017 features a super-strong reinforced structure. Independent testing has proved it is 6x stronger than standard Lightning cables.
Increased Lifespan
Redesigned from the inside out, NIGHT Cable’s O-Flex strain relief design at the connector joints and 17,000+ bend* lifespan makes it incredibly resistant to daily wear and tear.
*Based on independent bend test. One bend = 90 degree clockwise bend + 90 degree counter-clockwise bend
Extended Range
NIGHT Cable’s extended 10-foot range gives you more freedom to comfortably charge anywhere. No more straining to use your device when it’s recharging.
Weighted Knot
Its weighted knot can be anchored to any flat surface, so it’s always there when you need it next. No more fumbling around for dropped cables.
MFi Certified
Our cables are MFi Certified by Apple, giving you peace of mind that they will be compatible with any of your Lightning devices. Each cable is given a unique serial number by Apple, and every Lightning connector contains an authorization chip that your device recognizes, so you know you have the real deal.
Highly Compatible
No need to worry if our cable is going to fit your favorite case. Our compact and slim Lightning connector head fits into most iPad, iPod and iPhone case port openings, including the Lifeproof case.
Charge and sync in style
The retro inspired braided cable complements both your style and your space.

WhatsApp Messages be gone!
WhatsApp is testing a feature whereby a user can delete a message on the recipients phone before it has been read!
Additionally it will come with an edit feature to correct those pesky typos!
However it is only in beta and there is no word on an official launch for this update. Furthermore a new feature which allows users to send friends their location when they’re moving across a 1, 2 or 5 minute period. There are no privacy worries as this comes with an option to turn it off.

Google Maps Parking!
Google Maps already tells you how much traffic and congested your drive will be and it may soon tell you when you actually manage to arrive to your destination if there will be some parking spaces and the best place to park!
According to Android Police a new feature detailing just that was found in the 9.44 beta of Google Maps latest update. Spaces are listed as “easy,” “medium” and “limited”
Google owned app Waze introduced a similar feature of its own last year and while Waze can actually help you find a spot, Google’s own app only gives a general overview of the parking situation and it’s not yet clear as to how Google is getting this information.
How this is going to work? Is it limited to public places? Can it tell you if the road you live in is good for parking? No one knows for sure just yet. We’ll have to wait until the official release to find out but this is certainly interesting!
