You can buy an unlocked Galaxy S7 in Canada

Samsung isn't one to rock the boat when it comes to its relationships with the largest carriers in the country. But for the new flagships they're making a bit of an exception and are offering unlocked versions of its new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. But to get your hands on these, you'll need to buy them at the company's Experience Stores located at Toronto's Sherway Gardens, Burnaby's Metrotown Mall, Richmond Centre Mall, or West Edmonton Mall. When you buy from these stores you'll get two unlock codes (in case one of them doesn't work), and a Gear VR as well as 128GB microSD card (just to remind you that expansion is once againa available on the S7).

Apple to livestream March 21 media event

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Apple's confirmed that it is holding its next media event on March 21st at the intimate Town Hall at the campus in its 1 Infinite Loop headquarters in Cupertino. The event is the first product launch since the September 2015 bonanza in downtown San Francisco and is going to be live streamed at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Details can be found here.

Expected at this event are a new 4-inch iPhone which will be an updated version of the iPhone 5/5S form factor, a smaller 9.7-inch iPad Pro (taking over the iPad Air) as well as more Apple Watch straps and accessories. Apple could also unveil some new MacBooks now with new Intel Skylake processors and improved specs as well as elaborate on new software features for iOS, Mac OS X El Capitan, tvOS and watchOS. Timing for the event is odd since Tim Cook and some Apple executives will be at a federal court hearing in California to address the Justice Department's order to unlock an iPhone to aid in an investigation.

While products and technologies will be front and centre, specially since Apple's biggest rivals have played their cards at Mobile World Congress (and their latest smartphones are already shipping), all eyes will be on Apple CEO Tim Cook to see if he uses the event as a podium to discuss the DOJ matter.
