InvisbleShield’s new screen protector helps spare eyes from blue light

As we continue to stare at our phones on a daily basis, we often don’t realize how much damage we’re doing to our eyes. That’s where InvisibleShield comes in — with its Glass+ VisionGuard that filters out portions of blue light specifically on Apple’s new iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR.

InvisibleShield is known for creating screen protectors for a variety of devices. It also offers a “lifetime protection” against scratched, shattered, and cracked screen thanks to its military-grade solutions.

With its latest Glass+ Vision Guard, high-energy visible (HEV) blue light exposure has shown that it contributes to eye strain. With eye strain, also comes along the possibility of irritated eyes, sleep loss or disruption, but also premature eye aging or blurred vision.

So what exactly does the screen protector do to help combat those issues? For starters, there’s a protective “EyeSafe” layer along with an “Ion Matrix” technology that is strengthened at the molecular level. This then preserves the glass-like feel of the screen protector, to allow for a more comfortable experience that mimics the way your display would feel without it.

“We use mobile devices in nearly every facet of our lives, whether texting with loved ones, responding to a work email, browsing social media or consuming entertainment. These levels of screen time can take a toll on our eyes,” said Steve Bain, general manager for InvisibleShield, in a press release. “InvisibleShield Glass+ VisionGuard is specifically designed to filter harmful blue light, all while maintaining your screen’s color and image clarity.”

Those who have had an iPhone for a while likely know the iPhone already offers a ‘Night Mode’ feature that filters out blue light. You can either turn it on manually or set a specific time you would like to schedule it for which will allow it to automatically turn on each time it’s set for. When it’s on, you’ll notice your display adjusts to a warmer, more yellowish tone.

But with the Glass+ Vision Guard, you can choose to not use the setting. If you’re bothered by the change in colors, you’ll be glad to know the screen protector doesn’t change the look of your display.

InvisibleShield Glass+ VisionGuard is available on InvisibleShield’s site, as well as with T-Mobile and Verizon. As for the cost, the screen protector retails for $45.

2 big, nasty numbers stopped me from buying the iPhone 14 Pro Max
Someone holding the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Since Apple announced the iPhone 14 series, I’ve pondered whether this should be the year I return to the biggest, priciest version — the iPhone 14 Pro Max — after living with the smaller model since the iPhone X came out. Back and forth my mind went, but in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. There are two big, nasty numbers that really put me off, and no classic Apple "one more thing" to help me get past them.
Plus, to X, to Pro
First, some history before getting into those problematic numbers. I always went for the Plus model of each iPhone, up to and including the iPhone 8 Plus. The draw of the larger screen was considerable, but looking back, it was mostly because a lot of the front was taken up by bezels. The smaller screens on the “normal” iPhone were more cramped and less enjoyable to use. The iPhone X solved that dilemma, and I’ve lived happily with the smaller phone since.

Why? I was traveling more at the time, and lugging the massive iPhone 8 Plus around had been a pain. I’ve not struggled with the battery life either. The iPhone 13 Pro has actually been great as long as you don’t use Apple or Google Maps for hours and easily lasts me for a full day out-and-about. Sure, the Pro Max’s bigger battery will last longer, but I never thought the additional few hours would make that much difference day-to-day.

How much storage do you need on your new iPhone 14? Here’s how to decide
The five Apple iPhone 14 colors.

The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are finally available, and Apple is again offering a selection of storage tiers. The big question is just how much storage do you need on your iPhone 14? Similar to last year, the iPhone 14 series lets you choose as little as 128GB and as much as 1TB. This means that if you want to get a new iPhone, you'll need to pick between 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB options. Bigger isn't always better, nor is it always excessive. Only you know how you use your phone, but here's a quick guide to help you pick which iPhone size is the best option for you.

How the iPhone 13 Pro Max helped kill my low-battery anxiety
Apple's rumored hardware subscription service is a compelling rental service

Low-battery anxiety is real. The fear of running out of battery while I’m on my way home has bothered me for as long as I can remember using flagship smartphones. It was only two months back when I bought the most expensive slab phone that helped me end my battery anxiety.

Even almost a year since its release, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is still the battery champ in 2022. No flagship smartphone of the current year comes close to last year’s top-notch iPhone in terms of battery life. And with the way I use my phones, it's been something of a game-changer.
