Google Maps wants to make it safer to walk the streets at night

Lines of code found within Google Maps suggest that the app might get a new feature that will show well-lit streets at night. XDA Developers found the code within the Android version of Maps. Some lines mention: 'LAYER_SAFETY">Lighting' as well as "Yellow lines show streets with good lighting." A few of the other lines of code mention how streets with no lighting or poor lighting will be coloured, too. There are mentions that this feature won't be available in all regions and for all zoom levels within the app. But it's a useful one; we hope Google rolls out soon.

Google Assistant can now save your lists, notes to apps like Keep

When it first launched, Google Assistant would save the notes you made to Keep. But the company took this feature away, and then saved your lists inside Assistant itself. But looking for said lists would require some digging. Thankfully, Google is bringing the feature back. You can now set which app your note will be saved in. You can pick Keep, Any.do, AnyList, or Bring. You will need to head into Assistant settings > Services > Notes & Lists, and then select the app of your choice. We hope Google adds more apps down the line. The feature is available in English for all Assistant-enabled devices globally.

Rumoured Apple iPhone SE 2 might be named the iPhone 9

Apple has been rumoured to be releasing a new version of the iPhone SE in the coming year. But instead of calling it the iPhone SE 2, it might be called the iPhone 9. At least, that is what's being reported by an "informed source" on Japanese blog Mac Otakara. The report claims the design will be similar to the iPhone 8. It'll have a 4.7-inch display with Touch ID, A13 Bionic chip, and 3GB of RAM. But it wouldn't support 3D Touch.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the iPhone 9 will cost around US$399 (around CA$529) for the 64GB variant. The phone might come in Space Gray, Silver, and Red.
