Black Friday 2015: Keep Track of the Best Apple Deals for the Holiday Shopping Season With Thanksgiving in the U.S. coming up this week, it's time for the holiday shopping season to get into full swing. Black Friday, the traditional kickoff for the shopping season, falls on November 27 this year, but retailers are already offering some great deals, so make sure to keep a close eye on our Black Friday roundup as we track the best deals on all kinds of Apple products and accessories. We'll also be posting some of the bigger deals as full news articles, so stay tuned to the front page as well!   Read Full Article Popular Stories Nov 24, 2015 Best Buy Offering Up to $100 Off Apple Watch Today Only in Pre-Black Friday Sale This is a one-day only sale running today (November 24), so we wanted to draw special attention to Best Buy's deal offering $50 off of any Apple Watch Sport and $100 off of any stainless steel Apple Watch. Best Buy is also offering solid savings on the iPad Air 2, with 16 and 64 GB models discounted by $100 and 128 GB models on sale for $125 off. Best Buy will be running these same deals (and more) on Black Friday, but if you want to grab them now to beat the rush, now would be an excellent time.   Read Full Article iPad Pro Artists Share Apple Pencil Drawings Our most popular article this week was actually a blog post highlighting some of the great art being done with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. The Apple Pencil has been praised for its natural feel, and MacRumors forum members have been showing off some great examples of what you can do with it. In other Apple Pencil-related news this week, we've seen some interesting and creative demos of the accessory being used for everything from applying image filters to running a music synthesizer, while its pressure sensors have been adapted for use as a crude scale. The Apple Pencil remains in very short supply two weeks after the iPad Pro's launch, with many of those who purchased within minutes of orders going live still waiting to receive their pencils and Apple still quoting 4-5 week shipping estimates for new online orders. Best Buy briefly offered Apple Pencils for sale online last week with fairly quick turnaround time, but has generally been showing them as out of stock since their initial appearance.   Read Full Article Square Launches NFC Reader to Bring Apple Pay to Smaller Businesses Following through on its promise from a year ago, Square this week officially launched its new card reader that allows small businesses and individuals to accept Apple Pay. The $49 reader also includes support for chip-based credit cards. Following last week's launch of Apple Pay support in Canada and Australia in partnership with American Express, other news this week included a new guided tour video for the feature, MasterCard offering free travel on London transit systems for Apple Pay users over the next four Mondays, and word that Apple is aiming for a February launch of Apple Pay in China.   Read Full Article New 'Sidefari' App Allows iPad Users to View Side-by-Side Safari Windows The new side-by-side multitasking functionality available on the iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 4 has been a great addition in iOS 9, but one thing it lacks is the ability to run two instances of the same app, such as viewing two Safari windows at the same time. Some users have worked around this by using Safari and Chrome side-by-side, for example, but Chrome doesn't support some of Safari's features tied into other core iOS functionality. A handy new app by the name of Sidefari, however, takes the unique approach of harnessing Apple's Safari View Controller feature used to allow apps to open web content without launching Safari directly, with Sidefari using it to run alongside Safari in what amounts to a second browser window.   Read Full Article T-Mobile Announces 'Un-carrier Unwrapped' Promotion Offering Free LTE Data for All Customers for Three Months T-Mobile is continuing its assault on the U.S. carrier industry, this time launching a holiday promotion giving all customers free LTE data during December, January, and February. T-Mobile's Simple Choice postpaid customers are required to opt into T-Mobile's new Binge On unlimited video streaming service and use up their own data allotments and any Data Stash rollover data first, at which point the free bonus data kicks in.   Read Full Article
