Update: Apple commented on the move: Apple took a big step today in the United States by aligning with Cricket prepaid Wireless.

Cricket’s monthly fee for unlimited anything (data throttled after 2....

This time last year rumors that Apple might embed Touch ID in the iPhone X screen were fading but not totally gone. Now the customer response to Face ID on the iPhone seems to be good enough that facial recognition is expected to come to the iPad this year. Fingerprint recognition still has benefits over Face ID in certain situations, however, so should we expect Touch ID to be part of future iPhone screens?...

Early iPad Air reviews have now landed, and they are so consistent they come close to being word-for-word in their conclusions. You can also watch some view reviews below. Ahead of the reviews, I voiced my view that ‘the 4th-gen iPad Air is probably the model most people should be buying’ – and the reviews universally agree … Engadget asks who needs the iPad Pro? Forbes says that it’s sensational value....
I said last time that while the difference between a 9.7-inch and 10.5-inch screen didn’t sound like much on paper, it actually makes a surprising difference in real life. It’s not a 12.9-inch model, of course, and you don’t get things like the three-pane email view you do on that, but it really does feel significantly bigger. I have, though, discovered that the larger size does have one downside: accessory compatibility....

Yep, it is a little early to trade in my iPhone 11 Pro Diary for an iPhone 12 one. But I’ve been thinking about my options and whether I might finally get my true iPhone SE 2 this year. I always buy my iPhones outright, rather than on any kind of contract or finance deal, which means I’m not on a predetermined upgrade schedule. Each year, I need to choose between sticking with the phone I have, buying the latest flagship model, or buying a lower-end one....
Following a series of six drop tests of the iPhone X, gadget insurance company SquareTrade has labelled the iPhone X ‘the most breakable, highest-priced, most expensive to repair iPhone ever.’ The iPhone X suffered catastrophic failure right from the first drop … Subsequent tests (on different phones) were just as bad. The water dunk test was the one test it passed reasonably well, surviving 30 minutes under five feet of water with some audio muffling during playback the only effect found....
Martin Scorsese’s new crime epic, The Irishman, is now streaming on Netflix, telling the supposedly true story of Frank Sheeran and his involvement with the mob, but the movie comes from a tale that may have been largely fabricated.

While much has been made of the movie’s legendary cast and director, its huge budget (estimated to be around $160 million), epic 3....
