Nokia Adds Lonely Planet To Mobiles

If you’re heading out of the country but don’t know much about your destination, now Nokia lets download a Lonely Planet guide to take with you on your mobile device on your laptop through Nokia Maps.

Nokia Maps uses vector maps from the company’s recent $8.1 billion acquisition, Navteq, as well as Teleatlas, and offers maps for over 200 countries. The Lonely Planet guides, which cost $13.99 per download, cover over 100 destinations, the company says.

Stephen Palmer, CEO, Lonely Planet Publications said:

"This is a genuinely transformational deal, which makes Lonely Planet content readily available regardless of time or place. It will help all those questions which travelers frequently have on the road such as ‘What should I explore today’ or ‘where should I go for dinner tonight?’ Together with Nokia we will help more travelers connect profoundly with their world, every day."

iOS 16: How to add a different home screen wallpaper on your iPhone

Although Apple has always let you use nearly any image you want to decorate your iPhone's lock screen, last year's release of iOS 16 took that to a whole new level by adding support for multiple custom lock screens that can not only enhance a static image of your choice, but also show photo collections that update throughout the day and live, animated wallpapers that reflect the current weather, Earth from space, and more.

I’m a big-screen phone advocate. While I like the comfort of holding a compact phone (such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 with a 6.1-inch display), I prefer using devices like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Oppo Find X6 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Everything Apple didn’t add to iOS 17

Apple’s WWDC 2023 keynote has come and gone, and with it came one of the biggest new announcements in years: Apple Vision Pro, which is Apple’s first foray into the VR/AR headset space. Of course, we also got software updates for existing products that we already have right now, including iOS 17 for the iPhone.

Before WWDC 2023 kicked off, there were a lot of rumors and speculation revolving around iOS 17 and what we would end up seeing —with the possibility of some “highly requested features from users.” Now that it’s been announced, it’s actually not as exciting as we thought, and some of the features that did get announced weren’t leaked.
