<p>While I was on my recent vacation, I had a fun little device with me that I used to produce instant gifts for new friends -- an <a target="_blank" href="https://appleworld.dreamhosters.com/blog/2016/10/18/a-sprocket-in-your-pocket-hands-on-with-hps-tiny-photo-printer" rel="noopener noreferrer">HP Sprocket Pocket Printer</a>.

<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">This Monday turned out to be rather eventful, with updates to all of Apple's operating systems, word of a mysterious Bluetooth/NFC device going through the FCC certification process, and news about an iPhone 7 Plus that went for a long swim in a very cold river and lived!</p><ul style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px"><li>The watchOS 3.1.3 update might be the first update a lot of Watch owners have successfully installed since watchOS 3 first arrived</li><li>What could a mysterious Apple device with model number A1846 be?

Apple Watch, Apple TV also get the update love today

<p>To go along with the fresh iOS 10.2.1 and macOS Sierra 10.12.3 updates today, Apple also rolled out updates for tvOS and watchOS. watchOS 3.1.3 is the first update since 3.1.1 hit the streets back in December -- I could never personally get watchOS 3.1.1 to install on my Watch, so it will be interesting to see if the update I'm doing right now succeeds. </p>

X-Doria Revel case: Eye-catching design for iPhone 7

<p>We see a lot of iPhone cases here at Apple World Today, so it really takes a different case to turn our heads. For example, we recently reviewed several leather cases (see <a target="_blank" href="https://appleworld.dreamhosters.com/blog/2017/1/19/luscious-leather-twelve-south-relaxedleather-iphone-case-is-beautiful-and-practical" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://appleworld.dreamhosters.com/blog/2016/12/29/wally-iphone-wallet-case-lets-you-hide-your-cards-bills">here</a>) that are incredibly beautiful and functional. But what about the good old generic polycarbonate iPhone cases? Occasionally one will stick out from the crowd, and that's the situation with the <a target="_blank" href="https://xdorialife.com/products/revel-iphone-7-case?variant=19948020677" rel="noopener noreferrer">X-Doria Revel case</a> (US$29.95, or use this <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J2CB834/appwortod01-20/" rel="noopener noreferrer">affiliate link</a> to help support Apple World Today and get the Revel for as little as $17.95).</p>

iOS 10.2.1 arrives, bringing security updates and bug fixes

<p>A bit more than a month after iOS 10.2 was released, Apple has just pushed iOS 10.2.1 to users or iPhone and iPad. The new version is rather small in size (67.4MB for the iPhone 7 Plus), and seems to be primarily targeted at squashing bugs that appeared in 10.2 as well as providing additional security features.</p>
