IPhone users hit by 'calendar spam'

The invitations often offer discounts on designer labels, but they are from spammers, not the brands they claim to represent.

The flaw has existed for a while but has only recently been exploited, particularly in the run up to Black Friday.

iPhone 7? You're fired!

These are the measures which a small number of Chinese employers are threatening to take against workers tempted by the iPhone 7.

It might not be immediately obvious why a mobile phone would arouse such animosity - this isn't a protest against the lack of a traditional headphone jack socket.

The firms issuing the anti-iPhone edicts are claiming they are doing it for patriotic reasons or to dissuade staff from becoming too materialistic.
