Review: 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum Edition

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

The interior of the 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum Edition is definitely something to behold. There's a rich range of materials at play here. There's finely stitched leather, brushed titanium accents and real wood as well as the inevitable plastic.

Apple's Personal Pickup service now available in Canada

Canadians now have the option of buying items from Apple online and picking the item up at their nearest Apple Retail Store. The Personal Pickup option is ideal for saving time and money on shipping and works well for highly anticipated or 'must-have' Apple products or accessories, like an Apple Pencil for your one-week-old iPad Pro.

The service enables customers to choose and play for their items through an app and simply present proof of payment at a chosen or designated store to pick up their item. This speeds up the process considerably and is a great option for anyone who knows what they want or who doesn't relish the prospect of having to visit a crowded store during peak hours. Personal Pickup in Canada comes at the heels of the initial availability of Apple Pay in Canada.
