- Apple gives iPhone 3GS owners some love, lets them taste Shared Photo Streams and VIP Mail in iOS 6
Anyone who’s been scanning to see who gets what in iOS 6 has noticed that the iPhone 3GS is the red-headed stepchild of the family — some features that really don’t need a cutting-edge phone have been left on the chopping block. Apple is showing those owners some TLC, after all, by officially flicking on support for Shared Photo Streams and VIP Mail lists through the entire iOS 6-ready device list. With the exception of Safari’s Offline Reading List, the only features now left out for iPhone 3GS owners are the ones you’d expect to be excluded from a 3-year-old phone, such as FaceTime, Siri and those 3D-heavy map flyovers. While the iPhone 4S is still the darling of the lot, 3GS owners can now cling to their
agingveteran phones a little more securely for at least another year.Filed under: Cellphones

- Sprint tacks on Buyback option to web, offers trade-in credit while online shopping
Sprint’s Buyback program has been up and running for a bit, but now the wireless carrier is offering trade-ins alongside online purchases. While selecting your brand spanking new smartphone of choice, the outfit will automatically guide you through the process to determine how much your old handset is worth and keep track of the total credit for multiple devices — with a $300 maximum for the account credit. After the tech is tallied up, a pre-paid shipping label will be emailed out for shipping. Of course, the exact amount of the Buyback deal won’t be confirmed until Sprint receives your package and gives its contents the once over.

Weekly poll results: the Moto G7 Plus is the favorite in the G7 family
This probably won't come as much of a surprise - of the four new Motorola models, people strongly prefer the Moto G7 Plus. It offers a premium experience at just 300. This includes shooting 4K selfie videos, something that most flagships can't do. The rear 16MP camera boasts OIS and EIS, the lack of a tele/ultra-wide camera isn't a huge loss, judging by the comments. Same with the chipset - Snapdragon 636 is okay. But people weren't too happy about the 3,000mAh battery, despite its 27W fast charging capability. It's true that an Honor Play or Pocophone F1 have higher capacity batteries...
