  • Apple launched a new YouTube channel on Tuesday with short videos on iPhone tips and tricks. 
  • After years of quietly resisting social media, Apple is now embracing it, especially for customer support. 
    • Apple quietly launched an official Apple Support YouTube channel on Monday. 
    So far, the new online presence for Apple has 10 videos highlighting little tips and tricks for the iPhone. 
    The account is official — it's a featured channel linked to Apple's official primary channel, which is often used for ads and keynote videos, and it's got a YouTube verification check. 
    Some of the videos highlight features obvious to any longtime Apple user, like how to take a screenshot. But other videos show handy, lesser-known features, like how to access Apple's GIF library through the keyboard.
    Apple's been making a lot of these handy videos lately. It released one last month that focused exclusively on the iPhone X and changes to its interface. And last year it launched a Twitter account called "Apple Support" delivering customer service directly on social media.
    Check out the videos:

    Apple is finally solving its iPhone X problem

    If you're interested in Apple's iPhone X, but have been annoyed with Apple's shipping delays the last time you considered placing an order, reported improvements in iPhone X production have already started to shorten the smartphone's delivery times.
    According to a new report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's supply chain has allegedly stepped up its game for iPhone X production. Foxconn's iPhone X factories are now reportedly able to produce anywhere from 450,000–550,000 daily units instead of the 50,000–150,000 iPhone X smartphones it was producing just a few months ago.
    According to Kuo, Apple's suppliers were able to address two big bottlenecks for iPhone X production.
    "(1) Hon Hai's daily shipments of iPhone X have climbed to 450-550k units, up from 50-150k units 1-2 months ago; (2) shipments of Career's LCP LTE antenna will likely grow 100% MoM in both November and December; and (3) production yield of Dot projection module, made by LG Innotek (KR) and Sharp (JP), has moved quickly above 80-90% or higher from below 60% 1-2 months ago," he wrote in a report, which MacRumors obtained.
    Apple's production has improved enough that Kuo said he believes iPhone X shipments for the fourth calendar quarter (not Apple's fourth financial quarter, we note) could be anywhere from 10 to 20 percent higher than he originally estimated.
    For smartphone shoppers, that means that some orders that originally had shipping estimates of 2018 might now actually ship before the end of the year. In general, shipping times for the iPhone X now hover around one to two weeks, versus the five- to six-week estimate early iPhone X buyers experienced.
    "In our view, Apple wants consumers to receive their iPhone X as soon as possible. With production capacity rising substantially, it is only natural that buyers are seeing a shorter shipping time," Kuo writes.
    Kuo also notes that iPhone X shipments for the first calendar quarter of 2018 will now likely be flat or lower compared to the fourth quarter. That seems reasonable, given that the holiday shopping season is much more of a purchasing frenzy than, say, mid-Febru

    KICKSTARTER: Sequent Supercharger Self Charging Smart Watch We thought we would kickstart the week, (no pun intended…or was it?) with a look at the Sequent Supercharger, the first self-winding, self-charging, cable-free smartwatch. It’s a Kickstarter funded smart watch designed by Swiss designer Adrian Buchmann that has even traditional watch purists sitting up and paying attention for it does for the smart watch what Seiko did for the analog watch many years ago. It runs on kinetic energy and is therefore completely cable free. The more you move around, the faster it charges. The watch is made by Swiss watchmakers, designers and engineers who have teamed up with the best partners in each manufacturing sector. The 42mm watch is being funded energetically too. With 9 days still to go, the Sequent Supercharger has been pledged CHF617,168 from an CHF 80,000 goal. Because you generate the energy for the watch yourself, it is 100% clean energy, and the watch includes the latest

    Too many exams, too little sport: experts discuss barriers to participation Children today are 'too busy' for sport, experts have argued. Photo: Caters By Rosa Silverman 4:06PM BST 09 Aug 2012 :: Lack of understanding of sports by teachers Not every PE teacher understands every sport. Some sports, such as hockey, may appear too complicated to teachers, who are consequently deterred from teaching them, according to England Hockey. “Hockey is sometimes seen as a technical sport because of all the rules,” Holly Woodford, the organisation’s development director, said. “People do not always understand why the umpire’s blowing the whistle when they watch it. We have tried to make it easier for teachers to teach hockey in schools by launching packages to explain the game to them.” Only half of all secondary schools teach the sport, partly due to limited budgets, she said. It is cheaper to buy one football for 30 pupils than 30 hockey sticks. But the
