Apple has made iOS 9.3 beta 4 available for developers.

The Notes app also gets the ability to hide specific notes behind password or be accessed via Touch ID with compatible devices. There are also 3D Touch updates for Quick Action shortcuts as well as Settings like battery, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options.

Official LG G5 product video shows what the new flagship can do

LG certainly got the memo this year that smartphones have to be more and do more than what has long been expected of them. More than just improved features, better specs, nicer build quality and more expensive materials, smartphones need to be able to adapt quickly to the world around them and, more importantly, to their user's needs.

HP throws its support behind Windows Phone with Elite X3 smartphone

It's hard to imagine what HP is thinking. The company, who famously bought Palm and just as quickly decided to deep six webOS, has seemingly re-entered the extremely competitive smartphone market with a flagship that runs on Windows 10 and not Android.

While HP promises the Elite X3 for the summer, no pricing or market availability details have been yet released. The Elite X3 may very well be headed directly to enterprise customers rather than consumers.
