Apple has been in the spotlight lately for more than its spring product lineup. It has been at the center of a drama brewing in the tech world for some time over the future of encryption. Apple’s open refusal to build software to help the FBI unlock a terrorist’s iPhone began a public fight that will ultimately help determine the level of security and privacy we can expect on our iDevices.

Ever since the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, last December 2, when Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik shot and killed 14 people and injured 22 more at a holiday party, the FBI has been investigating the case. The FBI obtained a warrant to search Farook's iPhone 5C. And while Apple cooperated in giving access to the terrorist's iCloud backups, the tech giant wasn’t so fast to agree when the FBI handed over a court order signed by a judge demanding Apple create a version of iOS that would allow the FBI to bypass the iPhone’s security features in order to access data stored only on the phone. Apple CEO Tim Cook refused to comply in an open letter to customers, arguing that creating such a tool…

Marge, Ad Sales Coordinator: I unplug by enjoying a good book (you know, the old-fashioned kind with pages that you manually turn). I enjoy the feel of the paper between my fingers and the “old book” smell, which you never get from technology. Sarah Kingsbury, Senior Web Editor: I try to make it hard to mindlessly waste time on my iPhone by docking it when I’m at home.

Search Settings for a Solution If there’s a feature you’re unhappy with or a problem you’re trying to fix, then the Settings app is a good place to start problem solving.

Eric sat cross-legged in a hotel parking lot in Buffalo, Wyoming, a cup of coffee in one hand and his iPhone in the other. He was using the hotel Wi-Fito watch a YouTube tutorial on adjusting the engine valve clearance of his 1976 BMW motorcycle. He had the entire bike in pieces when I walked outside. Eric is my good friend and we had recently embarked on a 3,500-mile motorcycle trip from Southeast Iowa to the Rockies of Northern Montana. I’ve loved riding for over a decade now, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that the stars aligned and I discovered the world of adventure motorcycling. While there isn’t a strict definition, to me, adventure riding is the junction of camping, backpacking, overland travel, and motorcycles. Because of…
