The new camera will be the major feature of the upcoming iPhone 7 and is rumored to feature design similar to the iPhone 6/6s. Dual camera feature will be notable feature of iPhone 7 Plus, however it may look quite similar to the existing iPhone 6s. Experts claim that dual camera will help to capture fine and brighter images and will also reduce the size of the images. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are having little bulged camera, and iPhone 7 is believed to get rid of the bulged camera....

One of the changes with the iPhone 7 that has earned mixed reactions thus far is the new Home button. No longer is the iPhone’s Home button an actual moving button. Instead, a Taptic Engine beneath the display provides the illusion that you’re pressing the button, even though there is no physical part being moved. Adding fuel to people’s argument that the new “solid state” Home button is a move in the wrong direction, Myke Hurley made the discovery that the new Home button requires physical contact with your skin or a capacitive surface in order to function…...

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is unlike any other cinematic version of the character. For one thing, he was brought up in the shadow of heroes, and like any child he dreamed of joining their ranks. In fact, Marvel has even retconned Peter Parker into Iron Man 2, revealing he was a boy who Stark saved from Justin Hammer’s robots. Spider-Man: Homecoming saw Peter and Tony Stark develop a close bond. There’s a sense in which Stark was more than just a mentor; Iron Man was almost a surrogate father-figure for Spider-Man, who Peter was desperate to impress....

AT&T saw heavy criticism from both users and competitors after it started branding its 4G LTE service as “5G E” in smartphone and tablet status bars starting back in 2019. Now, over a year later, AT&T has said it will stop using 5G Evolution (5G E) branding (though it “respectfully disagrees”) after a National Advertising Review Board decision found it to be misleading. Update: AT&T has told LightReading that even though it will stop using 5G Evolution (5G E) for advertising and marketing, it won’t stop using 5G E in smartphone and tablet status bars… so much for being a “supporter of the self-regulatory process....

If you are still relying on the built-in cleaning tool available in windows, you may be left behind. Newer versions of windows are as storage-hungry as they are resource-hungry. Hence it becomes necessary to use some cleaning tools in order to free up unwanted junk from your PC. And one of such software we will review in-depth today, i.e. Avast Cleanup Premium, and will see whether it is worth buying....

Google has a set of widgets in the works for its most popular apps that utilize Apple’s overhauled dynamic lock screen – arguably the headline feature of iOS 16, which is rolling out today to iPhone owners everywhere. There’s multiple widgets for each Google app, including Gmail, Chrome, Search, Google Maps, Drive, and Google News. SEE: iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone 13 Pro: Is the newest iPhone worth the upgrade?...

The survey found iOS now has 48.1 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, an increase of 25.7 percentage points on the same period last year, while Android sales declined 16.6 percentage points to 46.7 percent of the market – placing the platform behind iOS for the first time since April 2012. The figures from tar are different from a recent comScore Mobins survey that found that Android is dominating with 53....

Because IoT security is still an afterthought, cybercriminals in general consider smart devices a “low-hanging fruit” – a target easy to compromise and manipulate. Security (and privacy) by design is key for IoT, and probably the only effective way for a smart gadget to protect its communications is to encrypt them. Unfortunately, it is still not easy to reconcile convenience with security when it comes to low-resource apparatuses. For that reason alone, many IoT products come with either ineffective features that encrypt communications and stored data or none at all....

Apple just announced iPadOS 16 during the WWDC 2022 keynote. The new operating system for iPad finally brings the Weather app, multitasking improvements, plus tons of features available on iOS 16.

All four models are shown, and all colors … Blass shows each of the models in turn: iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max The two lower-end models are shown in five colors:...

I traveled to Alabama over the weekend to attend my younger sister’s wedding and visit family which gave me a great opportunity to put some of the iPhone 7 Plus camera features to good use. I usually bring my three year old Nikon 1 J1 along during occasions like these for optical zoom, but the auto-focus and video quality just doesn’t compare to the iPhone these days. The new Portrait mode was very impressive in outdoor lighting and 2x optical zoom was fun to try....

iPhone camera supplier Sony says that even running its production lines 24 hours a day hasn’t been enough to keep up with demand… Sony makes sensors for a number of smartphone and camera brands, and told Bloomberg that for the second year running, it will keep its factories operating throughout the holidays in order to win back some ground. The trend toward ever more cameras on the back of smartphones has been the main driver for increased demand, the base model iPhone 11 this year adopting two cameras, while the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max have three....

Foxconn has more than tripled iPhone worker bonuses as it fights to persuade them to remain working in extremely tough conditions amid a COVID-19 outbreak within its largest iPhone assembly plant. For those who go further, and agree to forgo their leave this month, the bonus could amount to a 1,000% increase – from 1,500 yuan ($200) to 15,000 yuan ($2000) … Background Foxconn is Apple’s primary iPhone assembler, and its Zhengzhou campus is the company’s largest plant....

Never-before-seen concept artwork for Iron Man’s first battle suit, the Mark I, has been released online. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had hits after hits after hits with their movies in the last several years. They were able to come up with a new Hollywood formula that worked tremendously well and almost all other film studios want to emulate it hoping they will also enjoy the same level of success in terms of box office....

Back in 2020, iOS 14 introduced a new banner to alert users when an app is pasting from the clipboard. This way, you know when an app is reading the clipboard without your consent. Now with iOS 16, Apple is taking this feature further as the system now asks for the user’s permission to copy and paste between apps. When you try to paste text or something else from your clipboard with iOS 16, the app asks for your permission first....

Apple’s new iPad mini 4 was slightly overshadowed by its new plus-size iPad Pro during the unveiling earlier this month, but today DisplayMate gives us its usual in-depth analysis of the device’s new display for those considering making the purchase. While the standout feature of the new iPad mini 4 was upgraded processing power to match the iPad Air 2, the display, as noted by DisplayMate, in many ways beats out the iPad Air 2 and makes for one of Apple’s best tablet displays yet....

We’ve already seen a bunch of iPhone 11 Pro sample photos from both Apple and independent reviewers, and there will be more to come for sure. The ones I’ve read so far have really whetted my appetite for the new camera capabilities… That’s not a surprise. I predicted back in July that the camera would be the feature to persuade me to upgrade to what is otherwise pretty much the iPhone XSS....
