The website provides an interactive community for Apple users to find the help they need with their device through videos and articles and we hope you are all enjoying it!
The Games have finally started after seven years of planning and anticipation, and what a start it was! The Opening Ceremony was beautifully choreographed, and captured the major events in British history perfectly. Danny Boyle’s interpretation of the British culture was reflected completely within the various sections as the ceremony evolved. GB finished with 65 medals, with 29 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze and coming a grand 3rd in the medal table.
