Spider-Man and Iron Man’s relationship on the big screen is one of the most entertaining, heartfelt aspects in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) have incredible chemistry, as their father/son-like relationship is a big part of what makes the heart of the MCU beat. However, in the comics, Iron Man and Spider-Man didn’t always get along as well. Both Spider-Man and Iron Man have fought alongside each other as members of The Avengers, while also on opposite sides (after initially fighting together) during the Civil War crossover event....
Found deep inside the iOS 5.0 SDK are graphics for an iPad capable of displaying a 2048 x 1536 resolution on its display.

The file is a supporting property-list resource for Assistant (Apple’s internal name for Siri), containing information about the feature.

The Lowtide application uses the ‘3’ identifier for instance, as do current Apple TV apps....

Apple’s iPhone X is a major visual leap over previous generations thanks to its nearly all-screen design, but it would be closer to perfect if the sensor housing didn’t obscure the view in landscape orientation. Now a new rumor out of the supply chain suggests we could see the notch shrink as soon as next year. ET News out of Korea reports that Apple is investigating the possibility of integrating the Face ID sensors into the front-facing camera for new iPhones introduced in 2019:...
It’s easy to focus on the new tech we’ll see from Apple and its flagship iPhones in the coming years after the iPhone X has paved a whole new course.

Steve Jobs yesterday announced that Apple had shipped 3,000,000 iPhone 4s since launch, 22 days prior. That seems like a pretty impressive number. But looking a little deeper might reveal some issues. Apple had announced sales of 1.7 million in the first three days of iPhones sales. That is an insane amount of phones, especially considering that the release was only in five countries. But that also means that Apple has “only” sold 1....
A new research note from Counterpoint shows that whilst Apple’s dominance in China is not as high as its peak, it is the only foreign smartphone brand that matters in the region. iPhone 7 Plus was the no.2 best selling handset across all of 2017, and the smaller iPhone 7 took fifth place (via CNBC). China’s propensity towards larger-screened phones is shown by the Plus’ popularity compared to the regular iPhone 7....
According to a report by Digitimes, the next generation iPhone will leave the current aluminum cover and adopt a new design with reinforced glass panels in both the back and front. This would be accompanied by a stainless steel bezel, which would help make the device much more robust and reduce its costs and manufacturing time. The iPhone 4 also used a stainless steel frame, although this time the source says that a casting process would be used to make it much more subtle to the touch....

An eSIM is a chip built into the iPhone motherboard. Apple first brought eSIMs to the iPhone with the launch of the iPhone XR and XS in 2018....
Not likely… but it has decided to patent an optical stylus anyway. We will also go ahead and note the fatty nature of that big iPhone thing pictured below: It would be quite amusing if Apple tried to use this patent to take out Samsung’s Galaxy Note. Another patent released today details a different type of Stylus—one with haptic feedback. Also, do not expect to see this at any point in the future....
The rush to build tablet devices to compete with Apple’s iPad is posing unexpected strain on component suppliers, a report explains, challenging those in the value chain to focus production away from existing products to meet expectations of non-iPad tablet sales which insider sources report may turn out to be “unrealistic”. Component shortages are part of the story, but suppliers are equally concerned to avoid over-supply, as both will damage inventories and margins....
