Everton’s losing streak extended to three matches in midweek after suffering defeat at the hands of Newcastle. Manager Frank Lampard claimed the game was a “close" affair afterward, but the Toffees managed just a single off-target shot in the entire 90 minutes.

The new iPhone SE 2022 doesn’t offer any sort of night mode, which is a pretty major oversight for a modern phone — yes, even for one of the best cheap phones. The Pixel 6a, which launches in July for $449/AU$749, has other major advantages over the iPhone SE....
