The iPhone 14 event is now confirmed by Apple. On September 7, the Cupertino company will hold an in-person event – which will also be streamed online – at the Steve Jobs Theater, in Apple Park. While we’re still a couple of weeks away from the keynote, Apple has continued its tradition of hiding a fun easter egg for iPhone and iPad users on the invite. The AR easter egg tradition started a couple of years ago....

A press release by the company announces that no less than five million of the new smartphones have been sold in the first three days after its release. This is an incredible figure even by Apple’s standards. The the last model before the iPhone 5, the iPhone 4S, had sold around four million units in the first days after its release. In case you’re dying to get an iPhone 5 and haven’t already, Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO says that the initial supply has been sold, stores will get shipments on a regular basis and online orders are possible and customers will get a date when they can pick it up at an Apple Store....

I argued almost exactly two years ago that we were approaching the point at which Apple might have to think the unthinkable on iPhone pricing. Yesterday’s news suggests that crunch time may now have arrived … But players like Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, Lenovo and OnePlus are learning fast […] So while Apple’s current dominance of the premium end of the market gives it a massive head-start, it can’t count on forever remaining the automatic choice....

Warning: This Post Contains Spoilers For Shuri #4 Shuri’s solo comic series continues today with a couple of big moments after Shuri returns to Earth (after a little galactic Astral Projection last issue). Shuri #4 is all about the Wakandan Princess’ continued battle to avoid taking up the Black Panther mantle once again, her fight against a giant space bug, and something that will make Avengers fans extremely happy: she’s finally going to be teaming up with Tony Stark!...

More new toys for Avengers: Endgame have been unveiled, including a wearable Power Gauntlet from Tony Stark. The latest MCU film is about to enter its third weekend of release, and is still shattering the box office. Although the Infinity Gauntlet appeared in a few cameos over the years, it made its impact in Avengers: Infinity War. Thanos acquired this glove to channel the powerful Infinity Stones and then used the Gauntlet to wipe out half of life in the universe, which directly led to the events of Avengers: Endgame....

According to an in-store iPhone advertisement in at least one Target location in Orlando, the store is offering $25 off the 8GB iPhone 4 and both the 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4S models until the end of the month. A tipster sent the image above showing the deal is offered for upgrades or on a new two-year contract available through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint depending on your location. (Thanks L. Nielsen!...

With the iPad 2’s launch in 25 more countries yesterday, Reuters calculated the price of the device across Europe in comparison to the United States. The device starts at $499 in the United States for the 16 GB model and with taxes in the U.S., the device has an average total price of $547. This compares to Europe in which most iPad 2-selling nations use the Euro as their form of currency....

With its wide-range of applications, touchscreen capabilities, portability, and fast processing, the iPad Air has been regarded by many users as a tablet capable of content creation. Coming from a dedicated laptop, however, the Multi-Touch keyboard is a weakness. Not because it is incapable, but because it is sometimes slower to type with, less accurate, and less comfortable. This is why several iPad accessory makers have created solutions: keyboard attachments in the form of cases....

My initial plan for an iPhone 12 Pro Max video test was to shoot handheld using the stock camera app. However, given that I’m a video novice – as I will amply demonstrate below – I decided I could use a bit of help. In this case, from the Zhiyun Smooth X gimbal and the FiLMiC Pro app. While some might object that such a test is unfair, I don’t think it’s unreasonable....

Apple’s deal with Japan’s largest carrier, DoCoMo, saw the iPhone’s market share in the country climb from 25.5 percent last year to 36.6 percent in the year ending March of this year, reports Bloomberg. This full-year figure underestimates the current position, as it reflects only six months of sales through DoCoMo. Japanese companies Sharp and Sony took second and third places, with 13 and 12.3 percent respectively, while Samsung was in sixth place at just 5....

I’ve been using the iPhone X Leather Folio since I received the iPhone X at launch. As I noted in my initial hands-on impressions, the Leather Folio is a well-designed case that also serves as a wallet for storing credit cards and cash. First of all I should remind you that the iPhone X Leather Folio is anything but cheap. Apple charges quite a bit for all of its Leather Cases, but the iPhone X Leather Folio is its most expensive iPhone case ever (outside of the Smart Battery Case) at $99....

Analytics company Mixpanel has become a reliable source of iOS adoption information, but its tools also allow for tracking of iPhone model adoption. There’s been a lot of news about slowing iPhone sales, and Mixpanel’s data offers some interesting insight on that speculation. The company’s data comes from analytics frameworks inside apps and mobile websites, which are able to view iPhone model numbers and other details. According to the Mixpanel data, the iPhone XR is in fact the best-selling iPhone model each week, echoing what Apple VP Greg Joswiak said last month....

Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl was curiously absent from the proposed cast of new characters for the upcoming Birds of Prey movie. Could it be because she’s already the hacker hero Oracle in the DCEU? Several signs suggest this might be the case. The daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner Jim Gordon, Barbara Gordon, has one of the most complex histories of any character in modern comics. Originally created for the live-action Batman television series in 1966, Barbara proved popular enough to be brought into the comic books one year later in Detective Comics #359....

After countless hours of waiting and speculation, Apple has at last unveiled the next version of its mobile software: iOS 7. The highly anticipated software update brings an entirely new user-interface to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iOS users will recognize the refreshed appearance for its characteristically light UI, something Jony Ive and his team have spent the last half year building since Craig Federighi took over iOS software development and Ive took responsibility for human interfaces....

The Eurasian Economic Commission requires that all hardware using encryption technology is registered in its database. As usual, this year’s iPhone models have been added to the filings a few months ahead of their public announcement. Consomac spotted the addition of new model identifiers A2628, A2630, A2634, A2635, A2640, A2643, and A2645. The iPhone 13 lineup is expected to launch in the fall, around September. For this generation, we do not expect Apple to radically change up the iPhone’s industrral design....

The global smartphone market is still suffering, but it doesn’t seem to impact Apple as the iPhone 13 continues to sell well. If that isn’t enough, Wall Street analysts believe the iPhone 14 will do even better at launch. Now, two supply chain sources have told Reuters that iPhone sales have continued to do well “in July despite signs of cooling market demand for other smartphone makers.” If rumors turn out to be true, it makes sense why iPhone 13 sales are still good as Apple won’t bring many new features for the regular iPhone 14 model....
