CoM this morning follows up the Bloomberg and WSJ iPhone nano stories with a theory of their own, albeit one with some perceived holes. The major problem with this is that you couldn’t install apps on the iPhone nano. Which sounds like kind of a bust. You have to wait 10 minutes while your email app downloads? Not likely. By “some” of the memory, we mean ALL of the memory. The iPhone nano will have no memory for onboard storage of media, our source says....
Apple has updated its website with the latest repair and replacement prices for its iPhones, and things have become more expensive across the board… Yesterday we reported that AppleCare+ for all the iPhone Plus models was raised to $149, while the same coverage for the iPhone X is set at $199. Apple also quietly raised the prices of its higher storage iPad Pro models by $50. Now, we’re seeing the replacement and repair prices of all iPhones jump with the introduction of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X....
The Irishman used CGI deaging technology so it could have its main cast portray their characters in different stages of their lives, and while it did a good job, it also showed the limits of this technology. The Irishman marks Martin Scorsese’s return to mob films after exploring other genres for over a decade, and reunites him with some of his frequent collaborators, such as Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci....
Fortnite is an online battle royale animated video game that has been developed by Epic Games and released back in 2017. So, it’s been five years and the title is doing really well in terms of the optimizations, developer support, and addition of characters & features in every season. Currently, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is running in the market with a massive storyline and crossovers. However, plenty of fans are asking if Fortnite is Shutting Down in 2023 or not....
Welcome to the new media order, as described by Nielsen — a new world in which US mobile phone Web users almost eclipse the number of US homes with a TV; a world in which Apple’s iPhone accounts for three of the top ten smartphones used and more. The graphic above shows us 31 percent of all US mobile subscribers now have smartphones. It also confirms that voice is no longer the cash cow the carriers once enjoyed — these days we send SMS messages to keep in touch....
There are many ways to resell, recycle, or trade in your old iPhone. You could sell it directly through online auction sites and marketplaces, sell it locally with a site like Craigslist, give it to a family member in need of an upgrade, or even trade it in at one of a variety of sites dedicated to buying and reselling old devices. One of the most popular trade-in sites is Apple’s own Apple Trade-In program — but is it the best way to trade in your old phone?...
Web analytics firm StatCounter is out today with updated stats for the month of January 2013. When it comes to Internet usage, iPhone users this month held the No. 1 spot as Nokia experienced a significant decline during 2012. With Nokia’s share of mobile internet usage down 15.52-percent from 37.67-percent last January to just 22.15-percent this year, Apple was able to move into the No. 1 position for the first time despite experiencing a decline of 2....
iPhone sales growth is accelerating in China, Apple’s second biggest market after the US. The 6% year-on-year growth seen in September and October of last year hit 18.7% in December, according to official Chinese government data. The Chinese government publishes figures for total smartphone shipments, and for Android smartphone shipments; subtracting one from the other reveals iPhone shipments … (Technically, there are a few other platforms on the market, such as Tizen, but combined sales of smartphones running these are well under 1%, making them nothing more than noise....
Much like the rest of Apple’s modern iPhone lineup, the new iPhone SE lacks support for 3D Touch. While Apple has replicated some of the 3D Touch features with Haptic Touch, there’s one key functionality missing on the iPhone SE: expanding rich notifications. Apple moved away from the pressure-sensitive 3D Touch feature starting with the iPhone XR. In its place, iPhones gained a new Haptic Touch feature, which replicates some 3D capabilities using a long-press rather than pressure sensitivity....
Mobile Choice says of the iPhone 3GS, “No phone in the history of mobiles has demanded more headlines and column inches than the iPhone.” Perhaps that’s why readers voted for Apple’s product, while the mag’s editorial staff named LG its ‘Manufacturer of the Year’. Apple’s smartphone’s closest competitors in this category (which made the shortlist) included nothing from RIM or Palm, they were: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Nokia N97 Samsung i8910 HD HTC Hero Meanwhile, news emerged from China this morning that China Unicom is currently negotiating a deal with Apple under which the computer company would potentially manufacture iPhones that are compatible both with WiFi and the Chinese-made WAPI (wireless) standard....
While there may be many tales of doom-and-gloom surrounding the iPhone X at present, Kantar says that the flagship iPhone made it into the top three rankings in all of the regions it monitors during the last month of the year. The achievement vindicates Apple’s pricing of the iPhone X, argues the company. All three of Apple’s latest phones helped the company achieve ‘strong results’ in China, Japan, Australia and parts of Europe....
See the above illustration? Apple has used it in one of their many patent applications to envision the Aperture user interface on a touch screen device. If that drawing is anything to go by, Aperture could be in the works for iPad. Said patent application surfaced in the United States Patent & Trademark Office’s database, entitled “Docking User Interface Elements”. The document goes to great lengths to describe a heads-up display of sorts to interact with a touch-enabled version of Aperture....
Early on, it looked as though Fox would take a dramatic turn in tone and content when it came to Logan. Following the box office success of Deadpool, Hugh Jackman’s last ride as Wolverine sees him and director James Mangold enter an R-rated world where the movie’s plot takes the character away from the multiple X-Men timelines to tell a single, self-contained, character-driven story. Early indications look as though the film delivers, giving Fox another win in the mutant column and one that goes against tradition with its rating....
I could take a lab test approach to my dilemma of choosing between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max cameras. Buy both phones. Mount them on a tripod to ensure I was getting pixel-perfect alignment. Take test shots in all conditions. Compare 100% crops. But there have already been enough of those to persuade me that the differences are real, if small. The question for me is all about whether I can cope with the size of the Max....
Every year, the popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee — better known as MKBHD — shares his own blind smartphone camera test based on the choice of his followers on the web. MKBHD has just posted his 2020 blind camera test and surprisingly, iPhone 12 Pro Max lost to OnePlus 8T in the first round. The test is not scientific and it consists only in revealing which photo people think is best based solely on the images without any other reference....
Apple unveiled the latest iPhone 14 on September 2022 and fans are eager to buy the latest model. According to Apple, iPhone 14 is the most affordable version as the price starts from just $799 and comes with amazing features as well. However, iPhone 14 has five different model numbers namely A2649, A2881, A2882, A2884, and A2883. This can get quite confusing as buyers on what model to buy and what is the difference....
[tweet https://twitter.com/kyleleakway/status/252775864666824704] [tweet https://twitter.com/tjacker31/status/252798385378181120] As noted in the tweet above, like Verizon iPhone 5 users, some AT&T customers experienced hundreds of dollars in overages. One iPhone 5 user reported gobbling up to 2GB of cellular data over a three-day period while connected to Wi-Fi. There are several AT&T users on Apple’s support website reporting the same problem, too. The New York Times also noted the problem was not specific to Verizon:...
A series of new, high-resolution photos we have obtained show new features coming to the next-generation iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. First, comparisons of the front glass indicate that the new devices will sport upgraded front-facing FaceTime cameras with bigger sensors. The white phone in our images is a current iPhone 6, while the black plate is an iPhone 6S component. The presence of larger sensors likely indicates a higher pixel count up from the current 1....
The iPhone plant riot in India over the weekend is not expected to have much immediate impact on production in the country, but analysts suggest that it might have longer-term implications. Reports variously say that between ‘hundreds’ and two thousand workers took part in the riot at Wistron’s iPhone assembly plant in Bangalore. Production was suspended due to the damage … The riot was said to have been provoked by underpaid wages....
Apple’s Emergency SOS feature is again being credited with helping an iPhone user reach emergency services during a dire situation. WTKR reports that a Virginia Beach woman used the Emergency SOS feature on her iPhone to reach emergency services when a man attempted to sexually assault her. The event transpired at around 2 a.m. on Sunday morning at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The woman, who requested to stay anonymous, told the story:...
