While a device upgrade may not be worth your money, the latest software upgrade is free and should bring some notable improvements to your current iPhone. Available later next w...

If you're an Android user, you may already be using Google Messages as your texting app. If you don't use it, you should consider doing so. It's a fantastic texting app and is the default texting app on many Android phones.
