Apple has so far been rather cagey about the iPhone 11’s U1 chip, which is capable of extremely accurate positioning data. The company didn’t mention the chip at all during the keynote, and its marketing materials say only that it will put the nearest people at the top of your AirDrop contacts. In particular, Apple’s upcoming Tile-like tracker wasn’t mentioned, which was surprising, as it was likely the feature that led to the By innovation only tagline for the event....

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are now available to pre-order via the Apple Store app as well as the Apple Store Online.

How to pre-order iPhone 14 With pre-orders now open, you can head to the Apple Store app or Apple Store Online to secure your shiny new iPhone 14....

A new report claims to reveal more about Apple’s medium-term plans to expand and “deepen” iPhone production in India as it works to reduce its reliance on China. It follows and supports yesterday’s suggestion that enough iPhones for the entire US market could be made outside China within three to five years … Background Steve Jobs originally transferred most Apple manufacturing to China because it was the only country in the world with a huge ready-made supply-chain network, and the ability to scale up production almost overnight....

IPv4 vs IPv6 IP address specifies the technical format of the addressing and packets scheme. Most networks combine IP with a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). It also allows developing a virtual connection between a destination and a source. Now in this IPv4 and IPv6 difference tutorial, we will learn What is IPv4 and IPv6? Internet Engineer Taskforce initiated it in early 1994. The design and development of that suite are now called IPv6....

We’ve been hearing conflicting reports about the likely retail cost of the iPhone 8. Some reports have suggested that the price could exceed $1,000, the price reflecting its premium positioning in the line-up thanks to features like an OLED screen and augmented reality. A report yesterday contradicted this, suggesting that the price will actually remain in three figures, somewhere around the $850-900 range. Does this kind of difference matter … ?...

It’s been widely reported that the iPhone 7 is destined to ditch the dated headphone jack in favor of wireless audio solutions and a Lightning adapter for wired headphones and speakers, and now internal iOS software code seems to all but confirm the rumor. Jailbreaker @kyoufujibaya claims to have discovered a reference to ‘Headphones.have.%sinput.NO.’ within the latest iOS 9.3 beta 1.1 software release, which would appear to be related to the transition from 3....

If you’re a parent who’s ever wished you could just give your kids a sedative to calm them down, apparently you can – handing them an iPad has exactly the same effect. A French medical study reported at the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists in Hong Kong found that using iPads to reduce anxiety levels in children prior to surgery was every bit as effective as the sedative midazolam. Midazolam is normally administered prior to a general anaesthetic … A Quartz report explains that anxiety levels were compared to reach their conclusion....

iOS 12 is bringing new software called Screen Time to help users better understand and manage device use. But what about if you need to restrict an iPad or iPhone to just one app? Whether for your business, organization, or just your kids, follow along for how to use guided access. If you’re using an iPad or iPhone in a public setting for your business or organization, there are many times it can be valuable to keep your device locked to one app....

Along with specifications upgrades, the iPhone 7 will reportedly ditch the headphone jack in favor of a slimmer body and better audio performance. On the design front, changes will be minimal such as the cleaner antenna lines. Moreover, the Plus variant is expected to sport a dual-camera setup for capturing better shots, and this time around, Apple might finally wave goodbye to the 16GB storage option making 32GB as the base variant....

The free version of the software unlock is finally out there. We aim to get a new, wrapped in cellophane, iPhone and document the whole process of activating it, unlocking it, and moving to a foreign carrier. Further Reading (more after the jump): http://www.freeiphoneunlock.com/guide/ http://iphone.unlock.no/ http://9to5mac.com/iphone-hacking-roundup-223453452 Plan is this (keep in mind, this will all take place in France from unwrapping to calling): Activate Phone: We are tempted to use DVD Jon’s method but are instead opting for the “TUAW method” which involves entering a nonworking SS# and opting to get the AT&TGO pay as you go plan – but of course, never paying – just “GOing”....

2017 is a busy time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what with several new MCU movies and TV series premiering; not to mention, multiple films and TV shows set in the MCU entering production for release either this year or in 2018. The first MCU installment arriving in 2017 is none other than the first season of Iron Fist, the next Marvel/Netflix TV series - starring Game of Thrones alum Finn Jones as the man with the iron fist himself, Danny Rand - and the final piece to the puzzle that is The Defenders: Marvel’s street-level, New York-based, superhero team that’s getting their own miniseries this summer....

If you have a new iPad Pro and have had issues using the new software keyboard, you’re probably not alone. Aside from following the iPhone 6/Plus lead and adding new keys in the space around the QWERTY keyboard, iPad Pro includes a full sized shift key and half-height number keys which in theory require fewer taps to access more characters. In practice, the new layout requires an adjustment period, to put it mildly, as the keys most frequently accessed are surrounded by targets that you have to avoid tapping accidentally....

Apple will not include a power charger or earbuds with the iPhone 12, citing environmental reasons. Apple said it will be able to significantly reduce carbon emissions by not having to make the accessories in the first place, in addition to reducing the shipping box size of each iPhone sold. For the first time, neither the power charger brick nor the Apple EarPods will be included with your iPhone purchase. Apple says doing this will save 2 million metric tons of carbon annually....

The stallite connectivity feature is only designed to be used in emergencies....

There’s been a lot of chatter lately about smartphone addiction, digital detoxing and the like. An interesting piece by Dieter Bohn over at The Verge got me thinking about whether I really need all those notifications. I decided initially to try a ‘notifications diet’ – dramatically cutting back on the number of apps allowed to send me notifications. But as I started going through the list in Settings, I realized I also had apps I never use....

Well, we must admit that Apple has changed its strategy and tried something new with the iPhone X. It maintains the similar traditional iPhone size but with a larger screen. The front of iPhone X is completely occupied by the screen and has no buttons. The pre-orders for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus went live in the US on Friday. Recently, KGI security analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who sent out an investor note, stated that the anticipation for the upcoming iPhone X is cannibalizing iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus Pre-orders....
