Remotely controlling the shutter on your iPhone's camera lets you include yourself in the photo while avoiding the limitations of a selfie. For example, it allows you to take a picture of a wider scene with you included in the frame, which is ideal for landscape shots or group photos. If your iPhone is on a tripod, taking the shot remotely also reduces the risk of camera shake. Here's how to do it - and you don't need an Apple Watch.

No, Microsoft isn't extending the support deadline for Windows 10. That's still October 14, 2025. Instead, Microsoft is saying that if you use the Microsoft 365 Apps platform — Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook — it will still issue security updates well past the Windows 10 expiration date or until October 10, 2028.
Microsoft's updated lifecycle document covering the extension was unearthed by The Verge.
Although Microsoft has made it quite clear for years that Windows 10's support is ending this October, it has made clear that consumers can pay for extended Windows 10 support if they don't want to make the leap to Windows 11. Extending the Windows 365 apps support window makes it even easier.
However, there's still a catch. You'll need to have an active Microsoft 365 license, of course. But Microsoft also says that if you raise a support ticket with Microsoft 365 while on Windows 10, and that issue doesn't occur on Windows 11, don't expect Microsoft to solve your problem. Instead, it will recommend that you move first to Windows 11 and then maybe provide some troubleshooting assistance. You also can't log bugs, either.
So yes, Microsoft will help, but only to an extent. Microsoft is still pushing you toward Windows 11.
