As we usually hear a lot about the main sensor on the iPhone 14 lineup, this time analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is bringing some nice details regarding the front-facing camera, which will see a nice improvement after two years without being properly updated. According to the analyst, all four iPhone 14 models will likely receive an upgrade to autofocus and a larger aperture. Here’s what he posted on his Twitter account:...
Apple has just announced that its iPhone 4S will land in Hong Kong, South Korea and thirteen additional countries this coming Friday, November 4, when the company will begin taking reservations in those countries (with the exceptions of Albania, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malta, Montenegro and Panama, where pre-orders won’t be available). The full list of new markets goes as follows: Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea....
Apple is expected to become the market leader in Japan, with the iPhone 5s and 5c forecast to make up 40 percent of all new contracts on Japan’s DoCoMo carrier, reports Nikkei (via CNET). While other Japanese carriers already offer the iPhone, the DoCoMo deal is key, with the carrier selling over 23M handsets a year. Grabbing 40 percent of that would make Apple the dominant player in the country, taking sales not just from local carriers but also from Samsung, whose handsets were heavily promoted by DoCoMo this summer....
Over the past year, Google has publicly pressured Apple to support Rich Communication Services. The latest salvo this weekend was the harshest yet, but RCS on the iPhone is not the panacea to Google’s historical messaging woes, nor will support lead to a transformatively better experience for Android users when interacting with their iPhone counterparts. A flurry of tweets In announcing that Verizon was preloading the Google Messages app, Google’s Hiroshi Lockheimer last July pointed out that the “fallback messaging experience on the other platform will not have encryption if it’s still SMS....
A more powerful iPhone SE The information came as a result of a conversation between the Mac Otakara website and the makers of the iPhone structure. In addition, earlier this week Apple complied with various Euro/Asia regulatory procedures that usually precede the launch of new products. The next big Apple event will take place on the first day of WWDC (June 4), but we may not have to wait so long to see the second generation of the iPhone SE....
iPad mini 6 is the first major redesign of the small-sized tablet since its debut. The new look is more like the iPad Air and less like the basic iPad thanks to the uniform bezels, Touch ID in the sleep/wake button, and no Home button. There’s also an interesting behavior with the relocated volume buttons that is unique to the iPad mini 6. iPad volume buttons are usually placed like iPhone volume buttons: on the top left side when oriented with the charging port on the bottom....
With recent discoveries essentially confirming a new iPad announcement for later this month, even more details about the tablets are leaking. Today, new details surrounding the device’s model numbers have leaked. As reported by MySmartPrice, four new model numbers were discovered from a recent MIIT certification, hinting at iPad Pros and Apple Pencil updates. The report cautions that some of these model numbers may be for other iPad models Apple plans on releasing this fall, not just the iPad Pros....
After a long wait, Messages in iCloud has arrived with the release of iOS 11.4 today. Follow along for how to turn this feature on for a more clean and simple Messages experience. Messages in iCloud brings a range of benefits as we described today: Keep in mind you’ll need to update your iPhone and iPad to iOS 11.4 if you haven’t done so already (Settings → General → Software Update)....
iPhone 11 performance will of course be a further improvement over last year’s iPhones, but we don’t yet know much about the A13 chip set to power it. We believe that TSMC will, once more, be Apple’s sole supplier, and that the chip will use a 7nm process with a new technology known as extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV), but we today get some deep-dive predictions into what kind of performance improvements we might see …...
We yesterday reported on an iPhone 11 Pro camera test which pitted Apple’s flagship iPhone against a $7,500 Canon 1DX Mark II DSLR. YouTuber Matti Haapoja concluded that the iPhone’s performance was ‘scarily close’ to that of the high-end DSLR. Today another photographer has also concluded that the contest between the iPhone 11 Pro camera and his Canon EOS 5D MkIV DSLR is ‘a close-run thing’ after an extensive photoshoot in the Scottish highlands…...
In Summary It is massive in terms of both size and price, but there is no doubting that the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the most powerful iPhone out there. The biggest (pun intended) difference between the iPhone 12 Pro Max and its max-less Pro sibling is the camera, which sports a huge sensor. In terms of camera performance, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is perhaps the closest a phone has come to a powerful point and shoot camera....
Based on Apple’s past release history, iOS 7.0.1 and iOS 7.0.2 are designed as successive bug fix updates, while iOS 7.1 could bring either new functionality or support for new hardware. Apple typically releases bug fixes updates within a few weeks following a major iOS launch, so it is somewhat unsurprising to see Apple employees already testing the new versions. Based on Apple preparing new models of iPad hardware for the later this fall, perhaps the iOS 7....
Parallax is a new feature that is introduced in iOS 7. As the user moves their device, the background image and icons move on the screen to match the movement of the device. Parallax gives the device a quasi-3D effect and adds depth to it, but some people prefer to use their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sans the motion. If you are like these people on Apple’s Discussion forums, you might be getting dizzy from iOS 7’s new parallax feature....
In this comparison, we’ll break down and analyze the key differences between the iPad and reMarkable 2 to help you better understand which one is the best tablet for your needs. Practicality and use cases Before jumping into the rabbit hole of performance, it’s worth starting this analysis by talking about the purpose of each tablet. This isn’t really an apples-to-apples comparison, mainly because the iPad is more than just a note-taking device, unlike the reMarkable 2....

Romance scams are nothing new, but their potential impact has expanded due to mobile technology and the connectivity of our smartphones to core financial services, banking, and investment opportunities. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says that 2021 was a “goldmine” for scammers, and $770 million was lost due to social media scams alone during the year. Investment, cryptocurrency, and romance scams were the most common ways fraudsters cashed in....
While Apple is continuously rolling out the feature to new cities, Transit for Apple Maps is a pretty nifty tool if it’s available in your areas, and if you rely on public transportation heavily. One of the best features of transit in Apple Maps is when in underground tunnels, as it will tell you which side of the terminal you need to leave on, and what streets you need to walk on....
One of the great benefits of modern cell phones and carriers is that you’re able to put calls on hold while you’re on a phone call. While you could easily create a 3-way call, that’s not always convenient nor appropriate for the case. That’s where Call waiting comes in, a feature that lets you have two separate calls and lets you interact with an incoming call. Disabling the feature will force all incoming calls to go to voicemail if you’re currently in a call....
In an incredibly sneaky move, it turns out the iPhone 12 does not actually cost $799 as advertised. If you go to the website and look at the pricing for the iPhone 12, the SIM-free price is actually $829. The iPhone 12 mini is similarly $729, and not $699. The top-line advertised prices actually include a $30 carrier discount, which is only available on AT&T and Verizon plans. That means if you are buying SIM-free unlocked or through T-Mobile or Sprint, the phone cost is $829....
