Sprint subsidiary Boost Mobile will soon begin selling iPhones for the first time as the company preps for the launch of Apple’s new iPhone 5s and 5c on its usual no-contract, unlimited plans. The proof comes from the press material above posted by often reliable leaker @evleaks.

In fact, not only was Apple going to miss getting 5G iPhones out this year, experts were also saying the company wouldn’t hit a 2020 target.

The writer behind Iron Man 3 reveals that Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke originally had a role in the film before the script changed. Drew Pearce initially began working with Marvel Studios several years before writing the third Iron Man movie to try and make a Runaways movie possible.

Speed increases are an expected part of Apple’s iOS device hardware upgrades, but what Apple has up their sleeves for speed enhancements is typically up for debate. The first-generation iPad clocked around 1GHz with the single core A4 processor, and —a year later—Apple bumped the iPad’s chip to dual-core-speed with the A5 processor. While not quite confirming that a quad-core processor will power Apple’s third-generation iPad, we have obtained evidence that suggests Apple is currently working on quad-core iOS devices....

The iPad Air 4 was a tablet that came and went. I personally believe a lot of people spent time comparing this tablet to the iPad Pro, simply because they share the same design language.

Design That latest iPad Air has the same design language as the current iPad Pro, and so it looks and feels like a modern iPad....

While the capacity has been upgraded a lot, Apple claims the iPhone 7 can last two hours more on regular usage. Although, we can credit primarily the new A10 Fusion processor for that as its 64-Bit Quad-Core arrangement includes two efficiency components and two for performance. Additionally, the A10 chip is said to be 40 perfect faster than the dual-core A9 SoC present on the 6S. To know further about the processor, you can take a look at our detailed story....

The iPhone 14 notch is set to be replaced by a “pill and hole-punch” design on the Pro models, while the base models will keep the familiar notch design – but in a smaller size. In both cases, Apple has somehow managed to squeeze all the necessary components into a smaller space. A newly published Apple patent application may well explain the simple approach used to achieve this … Background Apple first introduced the notch design back in 2017, with the launch of the iPhone X....

With today’s release of iOS 16.1 beta 2 for developers, Apple has changed the design for the coveted battery percentage in the status bar.

The battery icon has been controversial since it was added late in the iOS 16 beta testing process....

Ad blocking extensions have been possible on Safari for Mac for a long time, but plugin architecture for Safari on iOS is much more limited. With iOS 9, Apple has added a special case of extension for ad blockers. Apps can now include ‘content blocker’ extensions that define resources (like images and scripts) for Safari to not load. For the first time, this architecture makes ad blockers a real possibility for iOS developers to make and iOS customers to install and use....

After Apple announced at its iPhone 11 event that its newest phones have the “toughest glass in a smartphone” it’s no surprise that we’re seeing that put to the test on launch day. The first drop tests show how the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max fare from up to 11-foot drops on concrete. So far we’ve got some drop tests from Tom’s Guide and YouTuber EverythingApplePro.
