<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We hope you had a wonderful weekend. This week's podcasts are sponsored by <a href="https://pdf.wondershare.com/?utm_source=media&utm_medium=SEO-appleworld&utm_campaign=wspe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PDFelement 6 from Wondershare,</a>and today those stories include the following:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A river diver recovered an iPhone X that had spent two weeks underwater, and it's just fine, thank you</p></li><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple vs. Samsung isn't over yet. Although a court ruled in late May that Samsung owes Apple $533 million, Samsung basically accused the jury of being unreasonable and wants a retrial and $145 million</p></li><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Three upcoming hearings in the Apple vs. Qualcomm battle will decide if Apple has to pay up to $4.5 billion in unpaid license fees, or if Qualcomm really is overcharging for what is now basic cell phone technology</p></li></ul>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">PDF files are ubiquitous these days; you can download PDFs for prescription drug information, owner’s manuals for cars or appliances, PDF-formatted ebooks, and companies love to send editable PDF forms for customers to fill out. With all of that PDF action, wouldn’t it be nice to have a way to create, edit and annotate PDFs that works on any device, whether a Mac or Windows PC, or an iOS or Android mobile? <a href="https://pdf.wondershare.com/?utm_source=media&utm_medium=SEO-appleworld&utm_campaign=wspe">PDFelement 6</a> for Mac is the solution to all of your PDF creation, editing and annotation needs.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Have more than one smartphone around your house or office that uses Qi wireless charging? You're in luck, because we have a new product in the AWT Deals Shop that will let you charge both phones and an Apple Watch at the same time. The <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/ipm-3-in-1-ultra-thin-fast-charging-wireless-charging-pad?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ipm-3-in-1-ultra-thin-fast-charging-wireless-charging-pad_061118&utm_term=scsf-290116&utm_content=a0x1a000003naT3&scsonar=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iPM 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Pad</a> can charge the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X and Apple Watch (as well as a ton of Android smartphones), and it does it all very quickly. It's on sale in the Deals Shop for $48.99, 62% off the usual $129.99 price tag.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">There is a great demand for 4K video for social sharing on YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms, but not everyone has the skills to edit and process the video. An easy-to-use video processing tool with the ability to turn raw footage into an edited masterpiece that can be shared is what you need. <a href="https://www.macxdvd.com/macxvideo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>macXvideo</strong></a> is a brand new and free Mac app targeted at preparing 4K videos for social sharing on services like YouTube and Facebook, but it’s also a fast and powerful way to edit video each and every day.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It's been a busy, busy WWDC week! After the keynote, hands-on testing of some of the new operating systems, and so on, we decided to end the week on a light note:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Happy 10th Birthday, iPhone 3G!

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a VPN (virtual private network) yet? Folks in the know are aware of how the personal data and internet activity can be exposed to other...usually people you don't want to have looking at your data. A VPN can keep you secure, and we have one of the best VPNs on sale this week. <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/purevpn-2-year-subscription-2?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=purevpn-2-year-subscription-2_061518&utm_term=scsf-290118&utm_content=a0x1a000003naT9&scsonar=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A two-year subscription to PureVPN is only $49 for a limited time</a>. </p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In case you missed it: The venerable Mac startup chime died of unknown causes at age 32 in Cupertino.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">You've got to love a company with a name like <a href="http://fusechicken.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">[Fuse]Chicken</a>, especially when the fun name comes with a commitment to designing and manufacturing good accessories for iPhone. The company's Titan, Shield and Armour charging cables are virtually indestructible, and now [Fuse]Chicken has joined the move away from cables and into the wireless charging world. Today we're looking at the <a href="https://www.fusechicken.com/collections/wireless-chargers/products/gravitytouch" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gravity Touch</a> ($44.95) and <a href="https://www.fusechicken.com/collections/wireless-chargers/products/gravitylift" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gravity Lift</a> ($59.95), a pair of wireless chargers that look good and will make you wish everything charged wirelessly.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sure, you have that sleek new iPhone X with its wireless charging capability, but most of your other Apple devices still need to plug into something. That's what makes the Merry Go Round Wireless Charger such a winner -- you can charge any device that's enabled for Qi wireless charging by just placing it on top, and you still have six USB ports that everything else can plug into. Our deal today gives you the <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/merry-go-round-wireless-charger-black?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=merry-go-round-wireless-charger-black_060618&utm_term=scsf-289646&utm_content=a0x1a000003nZ0I&scsonar=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Merry Go Round Wireless Charger for $24.99</strong></a>, 74% off the regular price.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">My desktop was a mess. I had more than two dozen icons strewn about, and as often as not opened or dragged the wrong item, or dragged two or more items when I meant to only grab one. I've also dragged extra files or folders to the Trash unknowingly along with items I actually wanted to drag to the Trash.    </p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We're recovering from the WWDC 2018 keynote and yesterday's podcast with a much shorter podcast today. Today we're thanking our sponsor Digiarty and their free macXvideo 4K video processing and sharing app before jumping into the podcast. <a href="https://appleworld.dreamhosters.com/blog/2018/6/1/macxvideo-a-versatile-and-free-app-for-4k-video-processing-and-sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Be sure to check out macXvideo here</a>. </p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We'll be live tonight for AWT TV Episode 41, discussing the keynote announcements and perhaps even taking a first look at iOS 12</p></li><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple provided some fascinating statistics about podcasts, noting that it now hosts more than 550,000 active shows</p></li><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A hacked emergency alert system appears to be the source of an odd alert sent out to people in Virginia this morning</p></li><li><p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple is retiring its use of OpenGL after Mojave, and that has some game developers steaming mad</p></li></ul>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A few weeks ago we promised that we'd be back the day after the WWDC keynote to talk about the announcements that were made. Well, it's June 5, and me and Marty Edwards will be on AWT TV Episode 41 tonight at 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET to chat about those operating system and app updates that were the topics at yesterday's keynote.</p>
