Even if you have one of the best VPN for iPhone apps, you may not want it on all the time. After you've got one installed, here's how to turn it off. There are many reasons to turn off your VPN. When you're playing an online game, for example, your non-VPN internet connection is a faster choice. Some work tools use your IP address to identify you, and won't work right — or at all — if you have an IP address different from what it expects. Some streaming services won't work when your VPN connects to another country since they check to see where a user is when launching. Even Google searches can be blocked or throw weird results if you're showing up as being in an unexpected location.

Apple is researching ways that other devices such as straps or even AirPods, can charge an Apple Vision Pro while in use. Right now, the only way to keep using an Apple Vision Pro uninterrupted is to have to plugged in to a wall socket. Under battery power, it lasts up to around two hours, and that battery is not hot-swappable — the headset can't carry on working while the battery is changed. Or it can't at present. Anewly-revealed patent application called "HMD with Charging Device" proposes that an Apple Vision Pro could be "charged using a wearable electronic device." While the patent application is typically vague about that wearable device, it is clear that it would "magnetically connect... to transfer power."
