Find Spotlight in iOS 7 and More Spotlight Search – Swipe down from anywhere on screen in iOS 7 Spotlight Search is one of the most useful features of the iPhone and iPad. In fact, I tend to use it more than regular navigation. If I need to call someone, rather than look though my contacts or fight with Siri, I just pull up a search. Same goes with apps. Rather than tap the folder and app or skim through my folders if I don’t remember exactly where it is, I just open up Spotlight and type in the name of the app I’m looking for....

Before Family Sharing, there was Home Sharing, which allowed you to share apps and media with your family by having an Apple ID that contained the purchases to be used on up to five computers and an unlimited number of iOS devices. For your family to make purchases with that Apple ID, they either know the password to that Apple ID (which also means they can access your passwords, credit card information, documents), or they have to go to the account holder every time they want to purchase an app or music....

iOS 14…wasn’t this on Android? Now that faux hype has been successfully built, let’s dive into the real matter. With the introduction of iOS 14, the neverending debate of who took inspiration (read “copied”) from whom has surfaced again. iOS 14 brings a number of major features that would change the way you experience an iOS device. And one of these features that is making a lot of noise is widgets!...

We told you a couple weeks back about Apple’s Reuse and Recycle program offering up to $200 in exchange for your iPhone 4. We also reported that the devices were going for even more on eBay and Gazelle. However, with today’s release of the iPhone 4S, it looks like those numbers are quickly starting to decrease. Gazelle has dropped their estimate down from approximately $250 to less than $200 for a mint 32GB model on AT&T (approximately $170 for Verizon), and NextWorth is still offering up $215 ($162 on Verizon) for the same model in perfect condition, but any cracks or bad scratches will leave you with around $115....

Early testing of an iPhone app developed to detect melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer – found an accuracy rate of around 85 percent. This is similar to that achieved by specialist dermatologists, and more accurate than examination by primary care physicians. Melanoma, usually caused by too much exposure to the sun, is responsible for around three-quarters of all skin cancer deaths. It’s dangerous because it can spread quickly if not caught at an early stage, but surgery has a high success rate if the condition is detected and treated soon after symptoms appear … The DermoScreen app was developed by University of Houston professor of engineering technology, George Zouridakis....

If your shiny new iPhone 13 seems like it is charging slowly, there’s most likely a simple reason. The old 5-watt iPhone chargers will work with your new phone, but can only charge at a lower power throughput. However, a newer 20-watt charger and USB-C Lightning cable can charge your iPhone at full speed. So if you have upgraded from an older iPhone, the chances are your power brick is outdated....

The first reviews of the iPhone XS and XS Max are out, and the story is incredibly consistent. While reviewers do note that the iPhone XS offers notably better sound than the X, and the camera improvements impressed many, the overwhelming view was that there’s little here to justify an upgrade from last year’s model unless you want that giant screen. If you currently own any of the older models, then the consensus view is that one of this year’s iPhones is a big upgrade – but don’t order one yet, because the iPhone XR offers most of the benefits at a significantly lower price …...

Update: Galway Independent (via Business Insider) reports that a hearing date has now been set, for Tuesday 24th May. The venue has not yet been confirmed. Apple’s plan to build one of the world’s largest data centers in Ireland hit a stumbling block earlier this month when local residents filed objections. The planning body, An Bord Pleanála, said that it would be pushing back its decision from February to May in order to consider those objections....

When the free update arrives — likely in September based on Apple’s previous release schedule — there will be a handful of iPhone models that currently run iOS 15 that will be left behind. According to a list of compatible devices posted on Apple’s iOS 16 preview website, the following iPhones are compatible with iOS 16: Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max review: Function over form iPad Pro (2022) review: I'm cautiously optimistic....

Earlier today, we discovered a new potential resolution for the iPhone 6: 828 x 1472. This finding came several months after sources first told us that Apple is testing an iPhone 6 resolution of 960 x 1704. Now, phone reseller Feld & Volk has put a purported iPhone 6 screen panel under the microscope and claims that the resolution is the 960 x 1704 that we reported: MacRumors, on the other hand, analyzed the photo and believes that the actual resolution shown by the microscope is closer to the 828 x 1472 resolution that we discussed this morning....

The latest information is that the iPhone 8 may not bring Touch ID on its screen and not even on the back. The new information now comes from a proven source. KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo has released an assessment on future iPhones. The tech giant Apple is expected to present the normal evolution of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, as well as a new iPhone 8. The absence of Touch ID on the new iPhone 8 The new iPhone 8 is expected to feature a 5....

There are key differences between Face ID on the iPhone X and Touch ID on other devices — facial recognition doesn’t care if you have wet fingers or gloves, while finger print recognition doesn’t worry about you wearing a ski mask — but which is faster? Early reviews put Face ID speed somewhere between Touch ID 1 and Touch ID 2, and Tom’s Guide has tested both and recorded the numbers....

The iPhone X has received a lot of attention for its higher price point – it’s the most expensive iPhone ever sold by Apple, coming in at $999 for 64GB and $1,149 for 256GB. Today, new data from research firm TechInsights offers a closer look at what specific iPhone X parts are driving that higher price… As noted by Reuters, the entry-level iPhone X costs Apple around $357.50 to make. Apple sells that model for $999, meaning it reaps a gross margin of 64 percent....

The IRS officially began accepting returns for the 2019 tax year on Jan. 27, 2020. Don’t freak out though. With the newly announced extension, you have until Wednesday, July 15, to file. Unless, of course, you ask for an extension to file; if that’s the case, you have until Tuesday, Oct. 15. But, as you know, time flies and the deadline can sneak up on you in a hurry. That’s why it’s a good idea to start getting things in order as soon as possible....

In Summary Once a feature only in premium devices, ANC or active noise cancellation, is now being seen even in lower-priced headphones and TWS. The aim of ANC is to eliminate external noise and enable you to focus on what you are listening to. While ANC does exist in these lower-priced devices, its performance is more often than not, almost negligible. Looking to buy budget earphones for ANC? It would be best not to....

Radio Signal Analysis – In the last part I have gone through the various modulation techniques being used in Radio Signal Transmission. The next step is to analyze these radio signals for identifying the type of modulation being done. Once the type of modulation is identified, the data present in the radio signal can be easily extracted by demodulating it. The process is analogous to decryption and encryption. For analyzing the Radio Signal, I will be using some hardware device and software....

Jeffery also said he’s delighted with how the iPhone version of Super Monkey Ball has been received, “Were deliriously happy,” he said, interviewed by Kotaku.com. He spoke a little on the relationship between Sega and Apple, “Our relationship with Apple is such that they talk to us really early about their gaming plans,” he said. “We’re one of the small number of publishers with content on the original iPod,” he added....
