Apple product vendors in Iran are laughing at reports from last week about U.S. Apple Store employees refusing sales to Farsi-speaking customers. According to a weekend story from the Agence France-Presse (via MSN News), iPhones and iPads are widespread throughout Iran’s capital: Hossein explained it is easy for traders to workaround the export restriction. He said Apple’s highly coveted products are smuggled into Iran through Iraq. He also noted practically everyone in Tehran owns an iOS device, while other salesclerks claimed several shops are “dressed up to look like official Apple Stores....

An Iron Man statue is erected in Italy honoring Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) death in Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios kicked off their entire Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise with Iron Man in 2008, portraying Tony Stark’s origin story as the superhero. Downey Jr. and Iron Man have been a central figure in the MCU ever since, helping to lead the Avengers and starring in his own trilogy. However, Iron Man’s time in the MCU came to an end with Avengers: Endgame, which featured Tony Stark’s death....

This past weekend, an image claiming to show a bin of boxes for Apple’s upcoming lower-cost, plastic iPhone emerged with “iPhone 5C” as the purported product name. However, earlier today, the image was claimed to be debunked due to some minor inconsistencies and image distortion. The inconstancies do not seem to be prominent enough, though, to completely rule out legitimacy. Now, BusinessInsider is separately reporting that “iPhone 5C” will be the name of the upcoming plastic iPhone....

Basically, the memory of the application will contain a lot of information, most of which we will not be interested in. These things might include instantiated UIViews and other UI elements. We will definitely be interested in instantiated view controllers and their properties though. It is important to understand and focus on only the relevant information in the memory. For a penetration tester, you should mainly be interested in all the values of the properties and instance variable in an application....

Research firm IHS, which previously dismantled the iPhone 5s and 5c to calculate component costs, has now done the same with the iPad Air. It concludes that while the technology in the iPad Air is significantly more advanced than in the iPad 3 (for some reason the company skipped the iPad 4), the total production cost is actually lower, reports AllThingsD. The display and touchscreen assembly is significantly more advanced than earlier models, with a higher combined production cost of $133, says IHS....

I wrote earlier that I was hoping the 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro was going to prove to be, as Apple claimed, ‘the ultimate iPad.’ All the joy of that huge screen in a form factor which didn’t prove too great a compromise when it came to comfort and portability. When the folio case arrived ahead of the iPad, I was encouraged: the size difference didn’t seem to me to be too great....

The iPad Pro went on sale at Apple this morning (after a few retailers jumped the gun)and now the reviews are out from a wide variety of tech publications. The iPad Pro features a large 12.9 inch Retina Display, a powerful A9X processor, quad-speaker layout and more. The Pro starts from $799 and maxes out at $1079 for the 128 GB WiFi + Cellular model. However, the most interesting features are arguably the accessories, like the Apple Pencil stylus and Smart Keyboard, which run an additional $99 and $169....

After first being announced at WWDC in June and enduring a one-month delay, Apple is now rolling out iPadOS 16 to users everywhere. iPadOS 16 includes a number of changes for iPad users, headlined by the controversial new Stage Manager multitasking feature. Here’s everything you need to know. In most years, the major “fall” release of iPadOS is available alongside the corresponding iOS update. This year, however, Apple delayed iPadOS 16 to October and released iOS 16 in September as originally scheduled....

As is always the case ahead of WWDC, speculation is in full gear regarding potential new features and changes. One of the biggest questions every year is whether that year’s iPadOS update will finally be the one to unleash the full power of the iPad hardware. Ahead of WWDC 2022 kicking off on June 6, recent changes to WebKit hint at big changes that could be coming to the iPad in regards to window resizing…...

Bloomberg reports that iPads sold by Apple in China come standard with two years of the AppleCare protection plan. This differs from the one year standard in all other countries Apple sells the iPad in. The reason iPads from China include two-year warranties is because the Chinese government classifies Apple’s tablet as a computer and computers in China are required by law to include two-year warranties. We think this is quite interesting and it attests to the fact that many people are considering the iPad as either a laptop/netbook replacement or a secondary computer....

There have been multiple reports citing that Apple’s iPhone won’t be getting a 5G modem until the 2020 models. However, a new report from Reuters says that this year’s iPhone 11 may include it… According to the report, Apple has considered Samsung, MediaTek, and its current wireless chip provider Intel to supply 5G modem chips for the 2019 iPhones. The claim comes from a testimony during Apple’s ongoing trial between Qualcomm and the U....

As the iPhone 14 launch approaches, analyst Ross Young reported today that production of the iPhone 14 Max is behind schedule. The iPhone 14 Max is expected to be Apple’s first-ever 6.7-inch iPhone that isn’t a “Pro” model, and that is reportedly causing some supply chain difficulties. iPhone 14 Max delayed According to Young, panel shipments for the iPhone 14 Max are still lagging far behind the iPhone 14 Pro Max....

The Cupertino-base tech giant is expected to launch iPhone 14 series later this year. There are rumors giving a hint that the 14 series will not have a notch, and it will be replaced with a punch-hole design. However, there are different reports about the notch. Some say there will be a single punch-hole on display, while some reports said there can be a combination of two different punch-hole designs....

How much did your iPhone cost? If you said $199, $299 or even $399 you’re somewhere near $350 off. As some consciously forget, the carriers often shield the owner from the real total cost of the iPhone. That may not last. iPhone sales could be hurt as carriers switch from so-called subsidized contracts, where customers pay only a fraction of the cost a new iPhone up-front, to deals where the true cost of the phone is more visible, argues a piece in the WSJ....

As you all know, the main competitor for Apple in smartphones, tablets, and now in media players, is Android, or rather, Android-powered devices. Being the new kid on the block, Android has lots of ground to cover, but since its debut, it has proved to be a very good OS and a really stable platform for developers to work on. Apple’s iPod Touch had lots of weapons at its disposal, apart from the prestige Apple had, from its predecessors, the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano and iPod Classic, the Touch had 256 RAM, 1 GHz processor under-clocked at 800 MHz, a 3....
