While we are all waiting for the iPhone 12 tomorrow, Apple seems to be getting ready in advance for tomorrow’s event. The company has now uploaded new small icons that are designed to illustrate the iPhone 12 on the iCloud website, and although they’re not high resolution images, we can notice some differences between these icons and those used to illustrate previous iPhone models. It’s worth mentioning that these icons don’t need to be extremely detailed as they’re shown in a very small size on iCloud web apps and also on the Find My app....

But the four new phones also have another feature that’s going to change how you transfer your phone number over to the iPhone 14. Instead of a small plastic SIM card, Apple has gone all in on using an eSIM. There isn’t even a SIM card tray on the iPhone 14 at all; it just doesn’t exist. If you upgrade to the new iPhone 14, the process for converting your SIM card to an eSIM will vary, but in my early experience, the process is straightforward and simple....

Apple continues the ceremony of taking down the online store ahead of its major hardware events. The Apple Store is down and is expected to come back up around 12 PT, directly after the conclusion of the live-streamed September Apple event, entitled ‘Far out’. We are expecting to see the company announce the new lineup of iPhone (iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max) and Apple Watch (Series 8, a new ‘Apple Watch Pro’ line and maybe updates to the cheaper SE)....

Just for the reference, the 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which is 8.5mm thick, comes with a 3,220mAh battery. So Apple’s effort of stuffing in a 2915mAh battery inside a 7.1mm chassis is quite commendable. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6, on the other hand, has a 1810mAh battery which is still bigger than 1560 mAh battery found on the iPhone 5S. This should explain why iPhone 6 is claimed to provide better battery life inspire of having a bigger and higher resolution screen....

Apple continues to be affected by the coronavirus outbreak around the world. Reuters reports this weekend that LG Innotek, which supplies camera modules for the iPhone, has been forced to shut down one of its factories due to a worker contracting the virus. The report explains that both Samsung and LG Innotek have been forced to shut down factories in South Korea this weekend. Located in Gumi, the factories are close to Daegu, which is where most of the South Korean cases of the virus have surfaced so far....

Introduction We use our phones all the time. Sometimes we want to work outside, or meet people from different places, but depending on where you live, this can be tough to do. This is where an iPhone location changer comes into play. There are geographical locations where some location-based apps in iOS devices do not work properly as they are either restricted or completely banned. If the same happens in your country, worry not, you can always use an iOS location changer....

As we are only hours away from the official announcement of iPhone 13, a new report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) on Monday revealed some interesting information about “what happens to old smartphones.” The research includes data on the number of iPhone users who sell or trade in their devices compared to Android device owners. Based on the research, CIRP found that used iPhones are usually found in better condition when compared to used Android phones....

At this point, it seems highly likely that the next-generation of Apple’s iOS devices will carry smaller dock connectors. That new hardware feature has been reported by multiple sources. However, the exact size and amount of pins has been up in the air. TechCrunch said that they confirmed the new connector to be 19 pins, while iLounge recently reported that the connector will be only 8 pins. However, today, we discovered a possible reference to a 9-pin dock connector in the iOS 6 beta....

Apple today unveiled its new iPhones: the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Both new devices come with an array of new features, though the highlight has to be 3D Touch that adds a new way to interact with them.

A new image has leaked on Chinese social media site Weibo, claiming to show an iPhone 7 with an edge-to-edge screen. The top and bottom chins appear to be unchanged, with the Home button and speaker in the usual positions. Nevertheless, eliminating the left and right bezels would be a major design change for the phone and is currently not supported by any other rumors. Previous Chinese media photos purported to show the rear of the phone, which looked almost identical to the current iPhone 6s....

Update: New details at the bottom … The rumor mill for the iPhone 8 is seemingly flip-flopping between two distinct designs for Apple’s 2017 flagship iPhone, one made of aluminium and another more drastic look with a curved glass front and back. The latest unverified leaks from today depict the latter device.

Iron Man is the character that started the MCU, and he’s been a fan favorite for ages. Many of us are still having trouble coping with what has happened to our beloved superhero – and with good reason. After the events of Endgame, the fan art for Iron Man and other heroes really spiked up. It was likely a way of coping for many of us. And even before that point, the fan art for Iron Man was pretty epic....

It’s officially the time of year when I turn my focus to what will be announced at WWDC in June. The rumors are always rampant this time of year, and outside of some significant improvements to iMessage, I hope Apple spends a lot of time during the keynote showing off much-needed improvements to HomeKit. So let’s dive into what’s on my iOS 16 HomeKit wishlist. HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework....

As the rumored early 2012 iPad 3 release draws closer, Cydia Blog discovered a part for the iPad 3 on TVC Mall’s website.

Cydia Blog reports:...

AnandTech dug into the FCC filings for the new iPhones to reveal that the iPhone 5s battery offers approximately 10 percent more capacity than its predecessor, while the 5c battery offers a more modest 5 percent gain. That’s a different size battery (5.96Wh vs 5.92Wh) than we’d seen in supposed 5s prototypes … Actual battery-life for the iPhone 5s will be interesting to see. The beefier A7 CPU will consume more power, while the M7 coprocessor that handles some of the background tasks should reduce battery consumption....

iOS 16 was announced today at WWDC 2022 with several new features, including a completely redesigned lock screen with widgets and enhancements to several system apps. Specifically speaking about Safari, Apple’s web browser will now support web push notifications, extension syncing, and more with the update. One of the biggest complaints about the iOS version of Safari is that it lacks push notifications for web apps, so websites are unable to notify a user if they’re running Safari in the background – although this is already possible on the Mac....
