The new iPhone SE was finally announced yesterday, and boasts the latest A13 chip and a high-quality single rear lens. But as ever, Apple doesn’t disclose the entire spec sheet. Instead, we have to turn to carrier sites — or wait for reviews to drop. In this case, a Chinese reseller reports that the new iPhone SE features 3 GB of RAM and houses a 1821 mAH battery. Apple’s official line on battery life is that the iPhone SE ‘lasts about as long as the iPhone 8’....

It was nothing out of the ordinary at the time: guy has his iPhone stolen, photos from the stolen phone show up in his iCloud account, social media employed to try to track down the person using the phone. But Matt Stopera’s story ended up far from ordinary. He’s blogged the whole story in great detail on Buzzfeed, but here are the edited highlights …...

Samsung is expected to launch its next-gen smartphone in January – a bit ahead of its traditional schedule – and the first review of the unreleased Galaxy S21+ flagship smartphone has landed.

In iOS 12.2 and macOS 10.14.4, you may notice a new warning in the URL bar when browsing the web in Safari. It says the page you are visiting is “Not Secure”. But what does this mean?

Though the successors to iPhone XR, XS and XS Max are still about eight months away, the latest conceptual video to hit YouTube shows perhaps what’s the most realistic view at how Apple will implement the rumored triple camera unit set to debut this year.

Analysts say that device activations show that Apple wasn’t able to capitalise on the dramatic recall of Samsung’s Note 7. Despite the damage done to Samsung’s reputation, and the opportunity that created for Apple to persuade owners to switch platform, most Note 7 buyers ended up replacing it with another high-end Galaxy phone, said Stephen Baker, primary hardware analyst at tech industry research firm NPD. Mobile industry consultant Chetan Sharma agreed with NPD’s assessment … Samsung was able to fend off other Android competition, and Apple, too, thanks to Apple’s own lack of a wowing product this year....

The iPhone 12 Pro has finally arrived and brings a bunch of new features into play with the inclusion of a new processor, camera system, and MagSafe charging. Watch our hands-on video inside for all the details! Unboxing For the first time in a long while, we’re getting an iPhone unboxing experience that’s a bit shorter than what you may be used to.

I heard first a domestic disturbance call. Then an assault call. Then next I heard an assault on a police officer call. Next there was an apparent stabbing, then trespass, and many other things. One thing I also heard was an elderly person who apparently had fallen and broken her hip. What did all these calls have in common? I heard address, date of birth and social security number for every individual in question in these calls....

The part about how it was stolen is amusing – and suggests I need to up my game in charming waiters. It’s not clear from the story how her passcode was bypassed, but her carrier blocked the phone from connecting to mobile networks, and Activation Lock prevented it being registered to a new Apple ID....

Signing up for the iPhone Upgrade Program online should be the least-hassle way to buy a new iPhone every one to two years. You get an interest-free loan, and can then choose between upgrading every year – returning last year’s phone – or every two years, when the old phone is yours to pass on to a family member or to sell. But there are some limitations to it in the US and elsewhere that put barriers in the way, and one of those is particularly problematic during a pandemic …...

On the film side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many of the heroes have gone through a number of different iterations of their superhero costumes. But on the TV side, particularly Netflix’s street-level corner of the MCU, costumes aren’t necessarily guaranteed - no matter what their comic book counterparts wore. Netflix’s next upcoming Marvel series is Iron Fist, which will join the ranks of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage and pave the way for The Defenders team-up miniseries....
