The Morning After: Apple makes its iOS Find My features much more useful
One of the most useful new features in the public beta of iOS 18.2 is the capability to share the location of a lost item connected to Apple's Find My network. Sure, you could already share an item's location with people in your contacts list, but Apple says this could help when you have to rely on the help of a stranger.

When you choose Share Item Location in the Find My app on iPhone, iPad or Mac, you get the option to share a link that shows the location of your missing item. The link's recipient will be able to open it on any device, and they'll also be able to see your Apple account email and/or phone number so they can get in touch with you. You can even share the information with selected airlines. Apple has apparently worked with several carriers to integrate this feature into their systems.

Better still, air transport tech company SITA is also incorporating Share Item Location into WorldTracer, its baggage-tracing system. Apple says more than 500 airlines and ground handlers at 2,800-plus airports use it. Perfect for when I head to Portugal in just five days' time. Yes, brag.

For now, it's part of the public beta, so if you want the feature, you'll have to install iOS 18.2.

This speedy 1TB Samsung SSD is only $70 ahead of Black Friday

If you act fast, you can snag one for just $70 on Amazon, which is a hefty 53 percent off its normal $150 price. That's an insanely good deal for one of the best internal SSDs we've tested so far.

When our expert reviewed the Samsung 990 EVO, he enjoyed it enough to give it a 4-star rating, appreciating the drive's fast overall performance, the five-year warranty, and that it works both on PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0.

This high-performance internal SSD supports up to 5,000MB/s read speeds, meaning that it can load games and apps super fast and transfer files just as quickly. It's also equipped with smart thermal control, spreading the heat across the whole drive and cooling things down even when you're in the middle of an intensive task.

Why wait until Black Friday when you can grab this Samsung 990 EVO SSD for 53% off on Amazon? (And it's not just the 1TB version that's on sale right now — if you need more space, get the 2TB version for just $130, which is an almost-as-good 46 percent discount.)

Upgrade your internal SSD for just $70 (53% off)
