Apple will let you fix your iPhone at home 

They're even going to send you the parts! Huge news!  

Apple is creating the "Self Service Repair" program in early 2022 for those in the US, to fix iPhone 12's and 13s with things like broken screens, dead batteries and busted cameras. You'll be able to buy more than 200 parts and tools to make the repairs. 

Even better is these repairs won't void the warranty of your device, although if you damage it during the repair process it may.  

Making it easier for Americans to reach emergency mental health services  

The FCC has approved the use of 988 as a fast and memorable way to reach suicide prevention services. 6,000 people a day call Lifeline in the USA. This goes into effect next year. Unlike the 911 service, this number also supports text messaging - great for younger people or those who are hard of hearing or deaf.

Crypto goes mainstream 

The Staples Center in LA, home to the Lakers & Clippers, is getting a new name: Cypto.com Stadium. The mobile wallet company paid $700 million to secure the naming rights for the next 20 years.
