iPhone 8 May Come with This Surprise Freebie

If you're going to charge close to $1,000 for your new flagship phone, it makes sense to try to sweeten the deal.
Between its rumored OLED display and wireless charging and edge-to-edge design, Apple is expected to deliver its most premium smartphone yet in the iPhone 8, but the handset by itself might not be enough to entice shoppers.

According to a new analyst report from JPMorgan, picked up by 9to5Mac, Apple may bundle the iPhone 8 with a pair of AirPods. That's certainly one way to ease the sting on the pocketbook, as well as a way to make up for the presumed continued absence of a headphone jack.

In our review of the AirPods, we called them "almost magical." They offer a lightweight design, excellent ease of use with practically no pairing fuss and good Siri integration. However, we lamented the lack of touch controls.
Still, no one is going to complain about potentially getting the AirPods for free.
JPMorgan's note also sketches out how the iPhone 8's 5.8-inch display will look relative to today's 4.7-inch iPhone 7. The screen stretches from edge to edge horizontally, but there's still bezels above and below the panel. 
The report also predicts that the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus will move to 2.5D glass backs, which would accommodate wireless charging.
The analyst firm predicts that the iPhone 8 will cost approximately $75 to $80 more to build than than the iPhone 7s or 7s Plus, but you can bet that Apple will charge more than that delta to get your hands on its flagship.

'We sold our home to build a social network'

 Zoe Kleinman The Hughes family in Manchester have quit their jobs and put everything they own into building a social network aimed solely at sports fans. But can they take on the giants? "We see ourselves sitting at the top table with the big boys," says father Perry Hughes confidently. "We don't think we're taking on the competition." It might sound optimistic to put your family business in the same league as the multi-billion dollar social networks but the Hughes family certainly have the passion to give it a go. Their big idea is GameDay Xtra, which has the bold ambition of hosting a page for every single sports team and player in the world - with even the humblest of leagues able to share their own news. Son Sam, 21, has suspended his university studies and works through the night on the project. Daughter Mollie, 18, handles the social media side. GameDay is purely for sports fans, the family say.
