However, the availability of HomeKit accessories is still much smaller outside of the US.</p>
<p>For smart lightning, bulbs like <a href="https://amzn.to/2KGtNtN">Philips Hue</a> are great for a quick-and-easy way to add HomeKit into your home, but ideally you want to make your light switches themselves smart. <a href="https://amzn.to/2tWywAw">Lutron Caseta has been available</a> in the US for some time. Now, there’s a (great) choice for UK homes too: the <a href="https://amzn.to/2lN0evK">LightwaveRF Light Switch</a>. Read on for my full review.</p>

Amidst its disputes with Qualcomm over patent royalties, Apple has turned to Intel to reduce Qualcomm’s market share over iPhone modems. However, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/30/iphone-ipad-without-qualcomm/">it has been reported</a> that Apple is also considering to bring MediaTek onboard as a second supplier.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20180702PD210.html">Digitimes says that Apple</a> is yet to commit to orders with MediaTek. For the 2018 iPhone lineup, Apple is <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/25/qualcomm-modem-orders-2018-iphone/">currently expected</a> to source about 70% of modems from Intel, with Qualcomm receiving the minor share of orders.</p>

While this won’t be an issue if you’re on good Wi-Fi or have a solid cellular connection, it can become an issue in low coverage areas.</p>
