One of the hardest things about being a parent these days is not being consumed with jealousy at all the best apps for kids. Plus there are some really great games, too. Perfect if you’ve got one of the best cheap phones on sale and don’t mind handing it to your child. Of course, the flip-side to the boom in fun-ducational (and just plain fun) apps is that the options for keeping ‘mini you’ entertained on long holiday journeys are seemingly infinite. Yet not all kid-focused apps and games are made equal. That’s why, after weeks of testing on the…

Apple is about to Edit > Select All and dump a bunch of iCloud backups in the trash. But don’t worry, because it won’t be deleting yours. Probably. Starting from 18 December, Apple has decreed that all device backups will require iOS 9 or later. Anything earlier will be put through the virtual shredder of doom and be gone forever. Eek! At which point, I imagine quite a few readers will be scrambling to see when iOS 9 came out. Don’t worry: it was ages ago. Unless you’re still running really old Apple kit. In which case: maybe worry. So: how old? We’re talking decade-plus-old hardware…

Major video streaming services seem to be multiplying rather than converging, each delivering something a little different. Some are also doing some cracking Black Friday deals, too, so read on for the top streaming offers. Our pick of the US deals is the ability to get Hulu’s ad plan for $0.99 a month for a year. That’s incredible value. In the UK, you can get Sky Stream plus Netflix for just £19 per month.

And the latest reports suggest…
