My experience with using every iPhone and iPad screen size to date has taught me two things: one size does not fit all, and you can usually get used to using any screen size if you use it long enough. The tricky part is that it’s not super easy to know immediately which screen size is right for you, and using any one screen size for an extended period of time tends to make it feel normal....
This Roomba keeps the same sleek and loved design of the Roomba j7+, with the major upgrade of the mop. The Roomba can vacuum and mop in a single cleaning job due to the addition of a retractable mop pad that lifts itself to the top of the robot when it encounters carpet and rugs. iRobot claims that the retractable mop is what sets it apart from competing 2-in-1 autonomous vacuums, which can cause a mess by accidentally getting the carpet wet....
Tony Stark’s body is dead, the Robots are rising, and the Marvel Universe is welcoming more and more artificial intelligences into the ranks of heroes and villains alike. Which means it’s time for Iron Man to step aside… and let his brother Arno Stark face the ‘robot revolution’ as the new Iron Man 2020. Fans will wonder what Marvel brought one of their most well-known heroes to this point, facing off against his own long lost brother....
. Color us a little skeptical on this one, but the U.S. Patent Office released Patent US 20130044215 filed by Apple (via Patently Apple) on Thursday that basically described a wristwatch-like device. According to the patent application, Apple is looking into methods that integrate flexible components into a bi-stable spring, slap on bracelet design.

To coincide with the new Lock Screen widgets, Apple has also redesigned the notification system in iOS 16. Starting this year, notifications now appear at the bottom of your Lock Screen rather than at the top below the clock. This change is proving to be controversial for many iPhone users, but there are a few settings you can tweak that might improve the experience for you… iOS 16 notification changes Apple says that the new bottom-up design for iOS 16 notifications is meant to reduce the clutter on your Lock Screen....
I wrote back in July about ‘the feature that will likely have me buy the iPhone 11,’ namely a wide-angle lens. And that’s what we saw yesterday… The focal lengths are reported as 13mm, 26mm, and 52mm. Update: It appears Apple is already citing 35mm equivalents, making the ultrawide even wider than I had thought. A 13mm lens is wide. The widest DSLR lens I’ve ever used was 10-20mm, and although I did very occasionally shoot at 10mm, it was far more common for me to shoot at 20mm....
I highlighted the promise of Apple’s ProRAW photo capability as one of three key differences between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The others were the larger sensor, and LiDAR scanner for low-light autofocus and Night Mode portraits. Night mode portraits already blew me away. I couldn’t immediately test ProRAW as it wasn’t available at the time, but the format was added in the iOS 14.3 beta....

However, there are a lot of other great options available with different pros and cons. We’ll also take a look at some smart/standalone wallet options. Let’s dive into the iPhone wallet gift guide! I’ve been an iPhone wallet case user since the iPhone 3G, so I’ve tried just about everything on the market....
As a movie franchise that recently crossed the $10 billion mark at the box office, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has naturally been a focal point of scrutiny in the ongoing discussion about diversity in Hollywood. While Marvel boss Kevin Feige has paid a lot of lip service to the idea of showcasing heroes of different races and genders, the fact remains that of the 22 MCU films that have been released or announced, only one has a female lead (two, if you count Ant-Man sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp)....
While iOS 15 was announced earlier today at WWDC 2021 with features like SharePlay in FaceTime, Focus mode, a new look for notifications, and enhancements to multiple native system apps, Apple also made some improvements for a specific group of users.

An iOS 12 exploit has reportedly reemerged, being used by a group of hackers in China known as the “Evil Eye.” The latest Insomnia exploit gives attackers root access to iPhones running iOS 12.3 to 12.3.2. Details have been shared about a reemergence of an iOS flaw that allows what are believed to be China-sponsored hackers to monitor iPhones of the country’s Uyghur Muslim minority (via ZDNet). Notably, users with an iPhone 6 or earlier would be stuck on iOS 12 and may not update software regularly, thus remaining vulnerable....
Shortly after the completely revamped iPad mini 6 was released last September, some users noticed that the LCD screen exhibited a so-called “jelly scrolling” display refresh quirk. While Apple said this is expected behavior, the company is now facing a class action lawsuit from iPad mini users. For those unfamiliar, jelly scrolling is when half of a device’s display refreshes noticeably slower than the other half. This results in a sort-of wobble effect, hence the “jelly scrolling” name....
Apple has today posted two new iPhone 13 videos to its YouTube channel, one promoting the Ceramic Shield toughened glass, the other the phone’s ability to cope with water splashes. Both ads use the ‘Relax, it’s iPhone’ slogan first used for the iPhone 12 … “Edge” shows a close-up of an iPhone overhanging the edge of a table. It receives an incoming call, and the vibration starts it moving further and further over the table edge....

We’ll unpack each one below: Probably most anticipated on this side of Apple’s upcoming product event is which date you’ll actually be able to get your hands on the new Force Touch-packing iPhone 6S....
Apple has reportedly been in talks geared to shifting up to a fifth of iPhone production from China to India over the next five years. Most of the production would be for export. This would represent a massive ramping up of the Cupertino company’s efforts to reduce its dependence on China, following a report that the company is to make AirPods outside the country for the first time … Economic Times says that up to $40 billion worth of iPhones could be made in India....
Most people keeping up with iPhone unlocking tactics know about the GrayKey iPhone unlocking box that is able to unlock most iPhones in under 3 days and has been gaining traction among police departments. Now, the company is facing issues of its own… Recently, a portion of the GrayKey code leaked onto the internet (via Motherboard), and GrayShift, the company behind the device, is not happy.

(Updates below) This morning, the evad3rs released the first public iOS 7 jailbreak. At the time, it seemed like something was off because other key members of the community had not been informed of the upcoming release. For instance, Jay Freeman (@Saurik on Twitter) had not been notified and as such the version of Cydia bundled was not official or up-to-date. It turns out, however, that more questionable activity has taken place....
