One of the reasons that Captain America: Civil War managed to dazzle was the sheer breadth and depth of its cast. Twelve superheroes divided along a central fault line and duked it out, meaning that all but three of the main characters - not including the Guardians of the Galaxy, that is - from the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were present and accounted for. (Of the three MIA heroes, we’re getting two – Thor and the Hulk – later on this year, in Thor: Ragnarok, and the final one, the Wasp, next summer, in Ant-Man and the Wasp....

Web analytics firm StatCounter is out today with updated stats for the month of January 2013. When it comes to Internet usage, iPhone users this month held the No. 1 spot as Nokia experienced a significant decline during 2012.

A leaker with a mixed track record has posted some unlikely iPhone SE 3 renders, claimed to be based on leaked CAD drawings … iPhone SE 3 renders The renders were posted by David Kowalski, with more on tentechreview. The rear looks virtually identical to the current model, but the front essentially looks like a copy of the iPhone XR, with an all-screen design matching other modern iPhones.

Much like the rest of Apple’s modern iPhone lineup, the new iPhone SE lacks support for 3D Touch. While Apple has replicated some of the 3D Touch features with Haptic Touch, there’s one key functionality missing on the iPhone SE: expanding rich notifications. Apple moved away from the pressure-sensitive 3D Touch feature starting with the iPhone XR. In its place, iPhones gained a new Haptic Touch feature, which replicates some 3D capabilities using a long-press rather than pressure sensitivity....

Mobile Choice says of the iPhone 3GS, “No phone in the history of mobiles has demanded more headlines and column inches than the iPhone.” Perhaps that’s why readers voted for Apple’s product, while the mag’s editorial staff named LG its ‘Manufacturer of the Year’.

While there may be many tales of doom-and-gloom surrounding the iPhone X at present, Kantar says that the flagship iPhone made it into the top three rankings in all of the regions it monitors during the last month of the year. The achievement vindicates Apple’s pricing of the iPhone X, argues the company. All three of Apple’s latest phones helped the company achieve ‘strong results’ in China, Japan, Australia and parts of Europe....

See the above illustration? Apple has used it in one of their many patent applications to envision the Aperture user interface on a touch screen device. If that drawing is anything to go by, Aperture could be in the works for iPad. Said patent application surfaced in the United States Patent & Trademark Office’s database, entitled “Docking User Interface Elements”. The document goes to great lengths to describe a heads-up display of sorts to interact with a touch-enabled version of Aperture....

In this article, we will be learning how to reverse-engineer firmware for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities present in it. For a practical demo, we will be extracting the hardcoded Telnet credentials present in the DLink firmware.

I could take a lab test approach to my dilemma of choosing between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max cameras. Buy both phones. Mount them on a tripod to ensure I was getting pixel-perfect alignment. Take test shots in all conditions. Compare 100% crops. But there have already been enough of those to persuade me that the differences are real, if small. The question for me is all about whether I can cope with the size of the Max....

Every year, the popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee — better known as MKBHD — shares his own blind smartphone camera test based on the choice of his followers on the web.
