Apple support says that the company is working on a fix for the iPhone 12 wireless charging problem experienced by a number of owners when using Qi-certified chargers. I described the problem in an early iPhone 12 Diary piece … Subsequent Googling revealed that I wasn’t alone in this experience, and that it applied to a wide variety of charging pads and stands. When the phone arrived, it charged happily on all three of my Choetech chargers....
“We estimate that 20 million or more Windows users will join the iPod nation annually over the next few years and potentially fall under the sway of the iPod halo effect, which is great for Mac sales,” he said. What’s also behind the reduced impact of the current crop of music players is a change in the market dynamic, Wolf also observed, as reported by Distorted Loop: “…The importance of the iPod in Apple’s product portfolio has definitely taken a back seat to the iPhone, which is targeting a market that’s 20 times larger than the music player market,” he said....

Typically when you walk up to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store, you will be met with multiple Apple Geniuses with MacBook Pros in front of them. These MacBook Pros have been utilized to facilitate repairs, look up customer information, and order new parts. Starting early next week, in at least some Apple retail markets, the MacBook Pros will disappear in favor of… iPads. These iPads will vastly improve the customer experience and the overall flow of the Apple Retail Store....

Nintendo has released an image of Mario relaxing on the beach, but the text that came with the post might be hinting at some kind of return for Super Mario Sunshine, which could possibly be a remake or a sequel. Super Mario Sunshine was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. The story involves Mario and Princess Peach going on vacation to Isle Delfino, but the island is covered in slime....
Apple today announced the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, which include an Ultra Wideband spatial location chip as noted on their tech specs page. However, Apple glossed over this detail in the event. It’s also notable that the widely rumored Apple Tag, expected to be similar to a Tile tracker, was not unveiled today. The Tag was expected to work in concert with the UWB location features of the new iPhones…...
According to iDealsChina the iPhone 5 will not hold one, but two SIM cards to support dual phone lines. This sounds very strange and we think iDealsChina could have misinterpreted the information from their source. The iPhone 5 is rumored to include a Qualcomm Gobi cellular/data chipset (just like the Verizon iPhone) that allows for both GSM and CDMA connections in the same phone. Perhaps this is what they mean by dual SIM-cards?...
mSpy, a company which makes spyware used by suspicious parents and partners to spy on iPhone usage, has accidentally exposed millions of private records on the web. Data exposed includes passwords, text messages, contacts, call logs. notes and location data … The breach was first reported by KrebsonSecurity. Krebs adds that anyone accessing the data would also be able to browse WhatsApp and Facebook messages. Before it was taken offline sometime in the past 12 hours, the database contained millions of records, including the username, password and private encryption key of each mSpy customer who logged in to the mSpy site or purchased an mSpy license over the past six months....
Photo Credit: Apple Monday, anyone with an iTunes account, a computer, and 10 bucks to spare could buy Photoshop Touch, the first Photoshop mobile product that can hold its head high in the presence of the desktop version. Some–like me–found that without first upgrading the OS to version 5, they couldn’t install the Photoshop. And I hope I’m not the only one who discovered that updating my operating system also carried a risk of losing apps, songs, movies or anything else I had installed on the iPad....
As we already know, the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max get improved battery life that offers users more screen time for things like navigation and video playback. Despite that, Apple didn’t say anything technical about battery sizes. Today, new documents from Chinese regulatory agency TENAA reveal the exact specifications of the new iPhone batteries. According to that document, iPhone 11 has a 3,110 mAh battery, against the 2,942 mAh battery on last year’s base model iPhone XR....
New data released by Omdia today says that the iPhone 11 has usurped the crown of being the “world’s most popular smartphone” from the iPhone XR. According to data, Apple shipped 19.5 million iPhone 11 units during the first quarter of this year. For those unfamiliar with Omdia, the research company was established following the “merger of the research division of Informa Tech and the acquired IHS Markit technology research portfolio....
Much like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series smartphones, the iPhone 14 series also comes with a wireless charging option with Apple’s magnetic wireless charging capabilities. Apple does not provide the magnetic charger right out of the box, but this could be an essential accessory for people who charge their phones wirelessly. It has not been long since Apple launched their iPhone 14 series smartphones in the market, and we are already getting some news about some iPhone 14 smartphones(namely iPhone 14 and iPhone Plus) not charging wirelessly....
iPhone 8 render without front Touch ID Recent conflicting reports suggest Apple has not yet finalized the design of the flagship iPhone 8 this year in terms of how Touch ID will be implemented. If Apple introduces a new edge-to-edge display as expected, Touch ID will have to change from its bottom front location as the chin is dramatically reduced. The best case scenario based on rumors is that Apple manages to implement the fingerprint scanner into the new OLED display, although low yield rates may rule that out this year....
Update: There seems some potential good news ahead. Economic Times reports that the Indian government is considering an exemption to the checks for foreign companies like Apple. iPhone assembly in India has been badly disrupted as tensions with China continue to rise, says a new report. Components arriving from China are said to have been held in Indian customs in what seems to be the latest escalation of the fallout from a disputed border between the two countries…...

There is nothing worse than dropping your iPhone…except maybe dropping it into a lake. That is just an awful feeling. Not shamed by the occasion, 9to5mac reader Ken Hovanes shared his story of when he dropped an iPhone into Smith Lake roughly six months ago. He dropped it from a dock and was not able to see through six feet of water to pick it up. Hovanes considered it damaged/lost, so he bought a new iPhone....
iPhone SE A-Game vs Pixel 4a Since I use both Pixel and iPhone I’m always comparing the two device families. I have to say that Apple has brought its A-game with the iPhone SE 2020. With the COVID-19-induced recession happening globally, millions of people out of work or with reduced pay, this was Apple’s moment to cut its price from the $449 it was charging for the iPhone 8. But it also somehow juiced the specs in a big way....
It’s no secret that people love taking pictures with their iPad, but it has always been a somewhat out of the ordinary behavior publicly considering the sheer size of the tablet in general. It’s also true that Apple has made great improvements to the camera system on the iPad, and its large, vibrant display makes for one heck of a view finder when capturing an image. Based on anecdotal evidence, various scenes from Apple’s iPad event yesterday, and data collected by photos shared on Flickr, I think it’s finally time we accept iPad photography into our lives with open arms....
