Apple Watches are starting to arrive around the world today, and one of the coolest things in the box isn't just the watch itself, but the fancy folding plug.

British plugs have three pins, which usually stick out of the plug. But Apple has decided to shake that up a bit by creating a folding plug which sits flat in the box, but is spring-loaded.

Here's a Vine showing Apple's fancy new plug:

And here's a picture of a normal British AC plug. No handy, spring-loaded action to see here.

Google Gboard test makes finding a relevant GIF even faster

The whole point of Google's Gboard is to help you find relevant items without leaving your phone's keyboard, but how do you know there's something useful available while you're casually typing away? You might get a clue soon enough. Android Police has learned that Google is testing a smarter Gboard search feature that changes the distinctive "G" button when there's a relevant GIF, info or sticker search for what you're typing. Punch in "works for me" and you may see a sticker icon, while typing a famous name may show a magnifying glass to indicate that there's an info card.

Yes, the LG V40 really has five cameras

The LG V40: Three cameras on the back, two on the front. I t's official: LG's upcoming flagship smartphone, the LG V40, has three cameras on the back and two on the front. Though the official announcement of the phone is due Oct. 3, the company revealed some details about the phone — including photos and a video — on its Korean website . Interestingly, although the cameras are featured prominently in all these promo materials, LG hasn't revealed their specs. What we did find out, though, is the size of the phone's screen: It'll be 6.4 inches. The phone will be the same width as its 6-inch predecessor, the LG V30; the company claims it increased the screen size within the same form factor by reducing the size of the bezels. The phone will be available in three colors: gray, red, and blue, and we get a glimpse of all three in the promo video (above).
