Apple pays you for recycling old iOS gadgets and devices

As a part of Apple’s Reuse and Recycling program, the company now accepts all Apple products (both working and non-working) to be recycled for free. The good thing is, if your device could still be resold, Apple is willing to pay you with store credits that could be used to buy a new Apple device like an iPhone 5S or an iPad Air.

Own any old Apple products?

Own any old Apple products?

This is not the first time Apple did a recycling initiative, but it’s the first time the Cupertino-based manufacturer is accepting all their products to be recycled. Combining is also acceptable. For example, you could recycle an old iPhone 4S and an iPad and get credits for both. These credits can be combined to get a discounted iPad Air. Take note, though, that there is a one-class-device limitation for this – meaning you cannot recycle two iPhones or two iPads and combine the credits.

This program is available at all of their stores world-wide. Just bring those old Apple products to authorized Apple retailers in the Philippines and you can help contribute in making the world a greener place…while also getting discounts for your next iOS device.

Confide’s self-destructing messages now on Android

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

In a world where the likes of the Heartbleed bug threatens digital security, one can’t be sure if the things they send out remain as private as they want it to be. Confide is a former iOS-exclusive app that aims to address just that by providing their users with an encrypted way of sending messages and email.

Confide app

“Spoken words disappear after they’re heard. But what you say online remains forever. With confidential messages that self-destruct, Confide takes you off the record.”

To read a message, the user has to swipe the words one by one to reveal them. Once the finger already passes over a word, it vanishes once again. The reason behind this is so that performing a screenshot will be hard from the end of the person reading your message. In any case a screenshot is made, the app notifies the sender. In addition, Confide tells you exactly when and what time the recipient has read your message.

As you’ve probably noticed, Confide is a lot like the famous Snapchat app, only minus the naked selfies. It uses an end-to-end encryption system to assure its users of a secured service.

Confide has been available to iOS since January and has already received praises from users world-wide. The company announces that they’re now on Android, too, and that in fact the Android version is currently faster than its iOS counterpart. Lastly, Confide is compatible with devices running Gingerbread onwards, which means a lot of Android users can use this messaging app to either send a secret message to a lover, plan a surprise party, or close deals with business partners.
