That’s a new all-time low price and down from the usual $399 going rate. The new iPad mini 5 features an ultra-portable design, which we called its defining feature in our hands-on review. Apple’s latest includes Touch ID, an A12 Bionic chip, and a Retina 7.9-inch display. iPad mini 5 supports Apple Pencil, which is a great way to maximize your savings today and take your creativity to the next level....

According to content creator Saran Byte, the iPhone 14 front panels have leaked on Weibo and show the aspect ratio is “slightly different on the Pros (19:5:9 to 20:9),” corroborating with our previous report. As you can see in the image above, these are the four front panels of the upcoming iPhone 14 series. Although we can’t say for sure Apple will call the bigger iPhone 14 “Max,” our sources do believe it will have the same 6....

We’ve heard and read a lot about Apple going with two different manufacturers for the A9 chip in its iPhone 6s. Some models ship with a processor made by TSMC while others come with a Samsung-made component. While you’d expect that Apple would ensure both are built to offer comparable performance, it appears that may not be the case. It’s already been revealed by Chipworks that the Sammy model is 10% smaller, but if a couple of videos recently published are anything to go by, you might be better off with a TSMC model…...

A carrier store survey last month suggested that the iPhone 7 was outselling the iPhone 8, and this idea is supported by new shipment data from market analysts Canalys. The firm says that the iPhone 7 was the world’s best-shipping smartphone in Q3, while the iPhone 8 didn’t even make the top 5 … Canalys figures show the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus combined hit 11.8M, some 1.2M behind the iPhone 7....

For the first time, eight of Black Sabbath’s early studio albums, and three compilations will be available exclusively on iTunes. According to the New York Times, the window of exclusivity will be short, however, with the band’s music arriving on streaming services very soon. It’s worth noting that some of Black Sabbath’s later music was already available on iTunes, but many of their early tracks are first making their digital debut today....

We’re likely to see an increasing number of claimed iPhone 12 CAD images through the summer, and the latest ones are being used to suggest that the new design may be less new that previously suggested. Specifically, EverythingApplePro suggests the expected LiDAR module for improved AR apps will be limited to the larger of the two iPhone 12 Pro models we’re expecting, and that the notch size will remain unchanged from the iPhone 11 Pro …...

As the earlier leaks have suggested, there might be a dual punch hole in the iPhone 14 pro model’s display. A pill-shaped cutout and a hole-shaped cutout are now getting little ensures. The image first leaked on Weibo, and then it was sooner spotted by a tipster named SaranByte, and the image also showed a reduction in bezels of iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max. Apple Might Introduce New Notch Design to iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max According to the leaked image, the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Max (a replacement for the earlier mini iPhone version) will have a larger display, expected 6....

Thanks to the leaked HomePod software last week, we now expect the rumored iPhone 8 design with a top notch for the speaker and sensors to be what Apple ships later this year. If the nearly bezel-less design is accurate, there are several possibilities of how iOS could be designed around the top notch. Designer Max Rudberg shares three possible scenarios for the iPhone 8 and iOS 11… Each concept removes the current time from the status bar while moving navigation controls from the top of the display to the bottom of the screen....

If you’re trying to buy Apple’s cheapest iPod, the $49 screen-less Shuffle, you may be in for a difficult shopping trip. According to multiple sources, supplies of the iPod Shuffle are dwindling across Apple’s physical retail and online channels. In fact, Apple has warned its retail employees that Shuffle supplies will be short for an unspecified period of time and that customers seeking to buy a Shuffle via a retail store should be directed to Apple’s online store…...

Iron Man has had a number of different looks since the character was first introduced in Tales of Suspense #39 back in 1963. Tony Stark’s original bulkier, grey armor was totally different than the bright red and gold super-suit he wears today. However, Iron Man’s armor went through a noticeable change in the mid-’70s that might have been his most bizarre look to date. In The Invincible Iron Man #68, Tony designs himself a new mask....

If you use iMessage, it’s possible to receive junk messages due to the fact that spammers only need the email address associated with your Apple ID. You’ve always been able to report spam messages to Apple by sending an email containing a screenshot of the spam, the phone number or email address of the spammer, and the date and time it was sent. But let’s face it, most of us probably didn’t bother reporting the spam or going through that much trouble to do so....

Apple’s iOS has become the third most popular platform on the Internet with marketshare that’s nealry six times larger than Android. Indeed, iOS is bigger than Linux, says Net Applications. Collectively the devices that run iOS — the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad — accounted for 1.1 per cent of all hardware on the Internet last month. Windows and Mac OS were the first and second place OS’ used on the net, with 91....

The headline news in the latest IDC stats might look like bad news for Apple: iOS Q3 market share dropped from 14.4 percent last year to 12.9 percent this year. But it’s a number that is unlikely to lead to too many sleepless nights in Cupertino, for four reasons. First, Apple isn’t competing with most of the Android market, which spans all price-points, only the top end of it. Samsung has been struggling to make money from its flagship handsets, with most of its profits coming from low-end models, while HTC has been in all kinds of trouble....

Being in school IT, I’ve been around the iPad from day one. I’ve owned just about every iPad over the years (original, 2, 3, mini, Air, mini 4, 10.5-inch Pro, 12.9-inch Pro, and 11-inch Pro). I’ve deployed thousands of iPads since 2010, and I’ve worked with countless students and teachers on using the iPad in the classroom. I know the iPad. I can explain the good, and I can vent about the bad....

Apple will unveil the first version of iPadOS 16 a few weeks from now at the WWDC 2022 keynote. While we know little about the upcoming iPad operating system, users are still waiting for an improved version with a focus on pro users. With two iPad models using the same chip as the Mac, a concept imagines how Apple could finally revamp iPadOS with update 16.0. Parker Ortolani shared on his Twitter a few ideas on how Apple could improve iPadOS 16....

We initially detailled what developers were calling an ‘iPhone 4S’ way back in April. It was essentially an iPhone 4 with an upgraded processor. Then an iPhone that was supposed to be running on T-Mobile USA’s 3G network turned up shortly thereafter with an interesting antenna design. Today, iPatchiPods.com and MacRumors stumbled upon some of what they think might be ‘iPhone 4S’ bodies. Both sides of the frame are shown above and feature a slightly different antenna design than the iPhone 4 with the only breaks being at the bottom of the phone....

As Apple prepares to report its earnings results for the second quarter of the 2021 fiscal year next week, a new report by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners finds that iPhone 12 models accounted for 61% of US iPhone sales in the quarter. According to the analysis, of all the iPhone 12 models, the iPhone 12 was the best selling, followed by the 12 Pro Max, 12 Pro, and 12 mini. iPhone 11 had the largest share for a single model, at 24%....
