EE has announced a brand new UK service that will allow users of its network to share data with others using the MyEE app.

The idea is to allow parents to turn their children's data into a form of digital pocket money which can be dealt out as they see fit.

Not only that but parents will even be able see what the children use that data for, turn usage on or off entirely, limit use abroad and block premium rate calls.

The data sharing service will work in 500MB blocks and is on EE mobile pay monthly voice and SIM only plans - including mobile broadband tablets and select mobile broadband devices which are linked to the same plan.

Data for your family

To encourage more families to sign up to multiple plans in one account, EE is offering a free 1GB of data per month and 10% line discount for each new plan added.

For families, or anyone in a group with multiple accounts, they can upgrade to a single managed account by simply calling EE to have that activated. 

Max Taylor, Managing Director of Marketing, EE said: "Data gifting with EE helps families to get the most from their allowances by being able to move their mobile data around their smartphones, with easy to use parental controls.  

"So now mum and dad can turn their data into digital pocket money and reward the kids for good behaviour, or reduce the amount they are using, all without having to spend a penny more."

There are new MacBook computers and iPad Pro tablets coming in 2018, according to a new report today. It's just not going to happen at Apple's WWDC 2018 keynote.

Instead, a refreshed MacBook Pro 2018 and 12-inch MacBook with new Intel chips, and a low-cost MacBook Air 2018, will be ready later this year, says Bloomberg.

The same applies to the iPad Pro 2018, which is said to be undergoing an overhaul with Face ID, just like on the iPhone X. It's similarly said to be on track for 'later'.

Multiplayer in AR?

The keynote will instead focus on incremental iOS 12 software (an effort to stamp out iOS 11 problems) and what's being called "ARKit 2.0", suggests Bloomberg. 

The ARKit upgrade sounds fascinating. It's expected to let users play AR games against each other in the same virtual environment. It's shaping up to be the advent of AR multiplayer on devices (iPhones and iPads) readily accessible by the masses.

The report also describes how virtual objects have the power to be dropped into an area and remain there, virtually in place. It's all foreshadowing what's to come from Apple AR glasses, rumored to launch in 2020.

While Apple, Samsung, and Google launch phones in the $900 to $1,000 range, others continue to compete in the sub-$300 market. Alcatel has one of the lowest priced phones we've seen in the 1X.
