Apple is supposedly mulling its biggest feature-ditching move yet – the removal of the Lightning port. More accurately, rumours are rife from sources with strong track records, such as

What followed was almost all of the phone industry following suit, many after mocking Apple’s decision initially – such as Samsung.

Game streaming isnât new. Way back in 2008, OnLive was one of the first versions of the technology. And there was Shadow, which gives access to an entire gaming PC â and is still around. Despite being around for more than a decade, the technology still feels in its infancy. Even with the likes of Google, Sony and Microsoft now involved.
