Apple WWDC 2019 (that stands for Worldwide Developers Conference) will begin next week. At this annual event, Apple dishes out new software updates for many of its products, most importantly the iOS software on its flagship product, the iPhone.

Think of it kind of like Google I/O, but for Apple.

Below you’ll find all the info you need on WWDC including when it happens, how to watch the most important event during the conference, and what you can expect to see launched.

When is Apple WWDC 2019?

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2019 will happen at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, from Monday, June 3 until Friday, June 7. Each day will be packed with seminars, lectures, and announcements.

The Apple WWDC 2019 keynote happens at 10:00 AM PT on Monday, June 3.

However, the most important aspect of WWDC is the keynote that starts it all. This Tim Cook-led event will last for about two hours and start at 10:00 AM PT (1:00 PM ET) on Monday, June 7. It’s likely Cook and other Apple leaders will reveal new software updates and possibly even new hardware. Scroll down a bit to read more about what we expect to see!

How can I watch Apple WWDC 2019 at home?

The easiest, most platform-agnostic way to watch Apple WWDC 2019 is on YouTube. Over the past few years, Apple has livestreamed all its major events on its official YouTube channel, and it’s highly likely it will do the same for this one. If that happens, you’ll be able to view the keynote on any device with YouTube access.

However, if you own Apple products, you can use special, Apple-only services to watch the keynote.

If you own an iOS 12 device such as a recent iPhone or iPad, you can download Apple’s official WWDC app. In there, you’ll find links to watch the keynote as well as links to watch other events happening over the rest of the week.

Apple will likely livestream WWDC on YouTube, but if you own an Apple device there are special ways to watch it.

If you own a macOS-powered device, such as an iMac or a MacBook, you can watch the keynote on Apple’s events website through Safari. As long as you’re running the latest version of Apple’s proprietary browser, you should be able to watch the event without issue.

If you’re on a Windows or Linux PC, the livestream at Apple’s events page should also work in the most recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc. However, Safari is the only browser that’s guaranteed to work.

Finally, if you own an Apple TV, you can watch the livestream through Apple’s events app. You’ll need to be running tvOS 10.2 or later, which essentially means you’ll need a second-generation or later Apple TV device.

When in doubt, just head to YouTube!

What should I expect to see announced at Apple WWDC 2019?

Unlike Apple’s September event where it launches the latest crop of iPhones or the October event where it launches iPads and macOS products, Apple WWDC 2019 will be mostly about software. However, there could be some hardware surprises in store!

Here’s what we expect:

• iOS 13: This is essentially a sure bet. The latest version of Apple’s mobile OS should come with a system-wide dark theme, and could possibly come with a revamp to the home screen (the first major revamp in ten years). There will also almost certainly be updates to Apple apps, including Mail, Messages, Health, etc.
• macOS 10.15: There are rumors suggesting that Apple’s new update to its PC-based operating system will bring certain iOS apps to MacBooks, iMacs, etc. At first, it would likely only be apps designed for iPads with iPhone apps coming at a later date. If true, this would be pretty revolutionary. There’s also a rumor that Apple will do away with the iTunes branding and break up the app into smaller chunks, with a Music app, a Podcasts app, a TV app, etc., rather than housing everything in one program.
• watchOS and tvOS: Apple’s operating systems that power the Apple Watch and the Apple TV set-top box should see some tweaks, too. However, the Apple Watch usually gets its time to shine next to the iPhones in September, and the Apple TV Plus service was just launched in March, so these two operating systems will likely get only a little love during Apple WWDC 2019.
• A new Mac Pro: Apple hasn’t revamped its infamous “trash can” computer since 2013. Rumors strongly suggest we’ll see a new Mac Pro debut at WWDC 2019. The question is, of course, will it still be a cylindrical unit or will it have a more conventional design — or something else altogether?
• A 6K display: This is a bit of a long shot, but Apple could launch its own super high-end computer monitor. With a rumored 6K resolution and a rumored 32-inch size, the device would certainly be incredibly expensive if it gets launched at all.

Sun’s out, guns out, which means more of us will be heading outside for workouts. While there are benefits to traditional earbuds, outdoor athletes should remain aware of their surroundings. Jabra knows the importance of vigilance and developed the Jabra Elite Active 45e with safety in mind.

Read the in-depth review at SoundGuys

What is the Jabra Elite Active 45e like?

The earbuds are great for outdoor activities because they keep users aware of their surroundings.

These are unapologetically workout earbuds. The bulky housings are strung together by a TPE cable and stiff, reinforced ear hooks. It’s easy to shape them to the back of the ear, and doing so is well worth the effort. I ran, rock climbed, and cycled while wearing these without experiencing any instability. Volume buttons line the bottom edge of the right earbud and are easy to reach, while the left earbud controls virtual assistant access.

The proprietary ear tips insert deeply into the ear canal without creating a complete seal. This is good as it maximizes security while allowing outside noise to still find its way through. If you’re uncomfortable, try one of the two alternative size tips. Another great feature is the IP67 dust- and water-resistant build. This means you can take them to the dunes or beach without issue.

It’s disappointing to see the Micro-USB input, rather than USB-C, for charging. However, the earbuds support fast charging: 15 minutes of charging provides an hour of playback. Meanwhile, it takes about two hours to complete a full charge of the 500mAh battery, which lasts for just over nine hours.

Is connection strength good?

Yes, Jabra’s wireless products have excellent connection strength and the Jabra Elite Active 45e is no exception. These use Bluetooth 5.0 and are afforded a 10-meter wireless range. While testing, a complete disconnect didn’t occur until the 12-meter mark. This extra flexibility is great if you’re at the gym and don’t want to pick your phone up from station to station.

The earbuds operate via Bluetooth 5.0 and remain connected beyond the 10-meter range.

The only downside is the lack of high-quality codec support. It makes sense because audio quality isn’t a priority with these earbuds. The lack of support results in slight lag regarding command responsiveness and audio-visual streaming. This is one of the drawbacks of the SBC codec. Supporting it is affordable and doesn’t require much processing power, but it suffers from high latency.

How does Jabra Elite Active 45e sound?

Due to the IP67 rating, the earbuds can be fully submerged in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

The 45es don’t sound great, but they’re not supposed to. Since these workout earbuds deliberately allow the ingress of outside noise, audio quality suffers. That said, they sound better than a pair of bone conduction headphones might, all while still keeping you aware of your surroundings. Bass notes are emphasized to make low-end and vocal frequencies stand out. Generally speaking, clarity is lacking because of the de-emphasized treble response. Due to the sound signature of the Elite Active 45e, pop, hip-hop, and rap sound best. To get a comprehensive breakdown of how the earbuds sound, read SoundGuys’ take.

Should you buy it?

If most of your workouts are outside, yes, these $100 earbuds are worth it. Connection strength and ambient awareness are key when exercising, and Jabra prioritizes both with the Elite Active 45e.

Turo

If Airbnb revolutionized travel by giving us the opportunity to rent out our houses, apartments, or spares room, then Turo is the Airbnb of cars. Here’s what you need to know about it!

What is Turo?

Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing company. Formerly known as RelayRides, Turo allows car owners to make extra cash by renting out their vehicles, while providing a convenient and quick way to rent a car to those in need of transportation.

Initial registration is very easy – after downloading Turo from the Play Store or App Store you can sign up with your Google or Facebook account or with just your email address. You will not be asked to enter any personal details apart from your name until you decide to book or list a car. Once you’ve signed up, all you need to do to browse the available rental cars near you is enter a city, airport or address, as well as your travel dates.

Finding the right car

Want an environmentally friendly ride to your destination? Then booking a Tesla or any other electric car is a great option, which Turo provides. In fact, you can choose from over 800 unique makes and models. The multiple filters allow you to find just the right vehicle for you – whether it’s a car, SUV, minivan, or a truck. Not a fan of manual? Then you can choose cars with automatic transmission only. You can also sort by price, number of seats and even color.

One thing you definitely need to pay attention to, however, is total miles or distance included. Hosts put limits on how many miles or km per day you can drive with their car. So, if you want to go on a road trip, you will need to calculate the distance you will travel. Every additional mile will incur a charge unless you request an extension from the app itself. This makes communication with hosts vital to a good experience. We therefore recommend you filter listings to only all-star hosts when you use the app for the first time.

Turo also has three additional classes: Business, Deluxe, and Super Deluxe class. As the name of the first suggests, using this filter will display the best cars for business travel. Deluxe and Super Deluxe class, on the other hand, provide exclusive cars for guests aged 25+ and 30+ respectively. You can still rent a Deluxe car even if you are under 25, but that will come at the cost of a $1500 refundable deposit.

If you’ve found a Turo car to your liking, an important step before booking is checking the host’s reviews and rating. As with Airbnb, these are your best indication on whether the person you are renting from is reliable. Nevertheless, your mileage may vary (pun intended), so be thorough.

At the bottom of every listing you will also find guidelines written by the host. Read those carefully before proceeding with the booking. Some owners do not allow pets in their vehicle, so if you are planning on taking your dog to the vet, you might need to look for a different car. No smoking policies are also very common. However, the most important thing to pay attention to is whether the host wants the car to be refueled and how you need to return/drop off the vehicle. Many will also require you to take photos or video of the interior and exterior of the car prior to driving. We recommend you do this anyway, so you won’t be held liable for any pre-existing damage to the car.

How booking and picking up works

Once you’ve found the right car on Turo, it’s time to book. But how does renting a stranger’s car through an app really work? It might seem complicated at first, but it’s not much of a hassle. It’s similar to Airbnb in many respects.

There are two types of bookings – Book Instantly, which doesn’t require owner approval and regular booking which requires the owner to confirm or decline your trip within eight hours. If you are new to Turo, we suggest you opt for a regular booking. Most hosts, especially all-star ones, will reply quite quickly, so unless you are in a real hurry, this is the better option.

Insurance is something that’s unavoidable when it comes to car rentals. Turo allows you to choose from Premium, Basic, or Minimum Coverage — each of which has varying physical damage protection. You can read more on how it functions in your country here.

4. Enter your payment info

Finally, you have to add your payment info. Turo accepts most major credit cards, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as Visa and Mastercard debit cards linked to a checking account. In the U.S. and Canada, you can also pay with Google Pay, while Apple Pay is only currently available in the U.S..

5. Message the host

Just like Airbnb, you need to write a short message to the car owner, introducing yourself and giving them some basic information about your trip. This is an important step, so don’t be too vague.

Once your booking has been approved, if you haven’t requested delivery, it’s time to pick up your car. How that is done differs from host to host. Some will meet you and hand over the keys in person at an agreed time and location. Take this time to ask them questions, especially if you think there were things not mentioned in the guidelines – for example, if eating or drinking in the car is permitted. Make sure to ask where the car documents are located, so you can have them ready in case you are stopped by the police, and so on.

However, meeting the host in person is not always the case. Some have come up with ingenious methods of handing over the keys to renters. One host on YouTube demonstrated how he puts the keys in lockboxes attached to a fence near the car and then texts renters the combination for them after they send him a photo of their driver’s license and themselves near the car. This is also possible with newer car models that can be locked/unlocked remotely. Whatever the case, make sure you ask your host about it and about returning the vehicle.

Bonus insurance tip

Call your personal insurance company before renting through Turo. Some will offer full coverage under your normal policy, as they do for regular rental cars. You can also check if the same is offered by your credit card company. Although Turo itself states it is unlikely, users online claim that Discover insurance coverage for rental cars includes Turo.

Turo cancellation

Even if everything went smoothly with booking your ride, sometimes unforeseen circumstances can prevent us from traveling. What can you do in this case? If you need to cancel your Turo car rental, you can do so through the app or the company website. You are also advised to message the host/owner as soon as possible and let them know. According to Turo, “Guests may cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before their trip is scheduled to start. The total amount refunded will depend on when the guest cancels the trip and the length of the trip.”

The cancellation fee for trips longer than two days is one day’s trip cost, while journeys shorter than two days will cost you 50% of one day’s trip cost. The trip price and trip fee are included in the overall cost.

What if a host cancels on you, however? In that case you will receive a complete refund. Hosts will then be charged a fee and an automatic review mentioning the cancellation will be generated on their listing. To avoid last second cancellations from unreliable owners, always check their reviews but also have a plan B just in case. You can also read more about Turo’s cancellation policies here.

Turo vs traditional rentals

If you are still not sure whether Turo is worth it, let’s weigh its positives and negatives vs. those of traditional car rentals.

One of the biggest advantages Turo has is offering rentals to drivers under 21. While traditional car rental services in the U.S. usually do so too, it comes at the cost of paying large insurance fees. Turo can also be cheaper overall, if you are not too picky about the car model and year. It is ideal for short trips on a budget. Of course, this can change depending on the area you live in, so always be sure to compare prices before shelling out your hard-earned money. Rental car delivery is also a point in Turo’s favour – with most traditional car rental services you will have to pick up your rental vehicle yourself.

Returning the car is where Turo might be at a disadvantage. If you are going on a long one-way trip, say moving to a new city, it is not likely that a private owner will agree to pick up their car hundreds of miles away from where they live without charging a large fee. Traditional rental services, on the other hand, might have another location at your destination town/city, making it easy to drop off the car once you’re done using it.

Nevertheless, Turo is quick and convenient to use. The peer-to-peer car-sharing company has earned its “Airbnb of cars” moniker, and you haven’t checked it out yet, there’s no better time than now!
