In an interesting proposition, an anonymous Twitter user who leaked many accurate details about the iPhone XS and iPad lineup this morning tweeted a suggestion as to the iPhone 11 naming scheme. CoinX says rhetorically that Apple will use the Pro suffix branding for the new iPhone. The source previously corrected named the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR a week before their debut. They also stated the exact weight of the XS Max, described the default wallpaper set and even the asymmetric grille hole arrangement seen in the iPhone XS line....

The data ranges from device marketshare to revenue from app downloads, which presents some stark differences between the two platforms. We unpack the results below.

The iPhone 11 Pro camera module has been a source of controversy ever since the first renders were seen. Many complained that this was the ugliest camera bump yet. Some felt the entire square block was unappealing, while others hated the triangular camera arrangement within the square. My own view was somewhat neutral. Regular readers will know that I’m not a fan of camera bumps at all. I’d far rather the phone were slightly thicker to allow the camera to be flush....

Regional carrier C Spire Wireless (previously known as Cellular South) has just announced (via MacRumors) they will be the fourth U.S. carrier to offer the iPhone 4S beginning sometime in the “coming weeks”. This is a clear indication that Apple has plans to open up distribution to more smaller carriers in the future. “C Spire Wireless announced today that it will launch iPhone 4S, the most amazing iPhone yet, in the U....

I made an early start on an iPhone 12 Diary back in July because reports as of then were leading me to suspect that I was going to choose what we now believe will be called the iPhone 12 mini. But there is one rumor which might change my plans very significantly. The appeal for me of the mini was the pocketability. As I’ve explained before, if I’m planning to do any significant device usage while mobile, I’ll take my iPad, so the key role of my iPhone is to be as pocketable as possible …...

Some iPhone 6 owners have found that Apple’s latest and greatest phone comes with an unexpected (but patented!) new feature: flexibility. According to reports, the iPhone 6 is slightly bending beyond repair while in pockets. Some users say that the bending occurred after normal sitting, while other people have had more active lifestyles. Unfortunately, it does not appear that Apple will replace these more fragile-than-expected units at no cost. Some users are reporting that replacement costs are in the hundreds of dollars range....

Cases claiming to be designed for the next-generation iPhones, currently being dubbed the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, have been released online today. Although the cases do not show anything drastically different to what we’ve been hearing for months, with most of the chassis mirroring the appearance of the iPhone 6s, it is interesting nonetheless to see the design formalized into cases that are apparently going to be on sale by the end of the month....

Apple could potentially put Intel processors inside iPhones as early as 2018, according to industry experts. Nikkei Asian Review published a new report today that highlights comments made by semiconductor analysts who believe Intel’s recent embrace of ARM could mean new competition to TSMC and Samsung sooner than previously expected. We reported on Intel’s announcement that it will soon produce ARM-based chips in addition to chips based on its own architecture last week....

You’ve likely quickly adapted to the new Home button-less iPhone X and its gesture based user interface. But while there are a lot of improvements, some aspects have become less user-friendly, like pulling up Control Center, Notification Center, and Apple Pay. Luckily, you can use a (mostly invisible) virtual Home button to create shortcuts to make a custom, efficient UI. Notification Center and Control Center being accessed from the top left and right ears of the iPhone X display make the features difficult to get to with one hand....

Spider-Man and Iron Man’s relationship on the big screen is one of the most entertaining, heartfelt aspects in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) have incredible chemistry, as their father/son-like relationship is a big part of what makes the heart of the MCU beat. However, in the comics, Iron Man and Spider-Man didn’t always get along as well. Both Spider-Man and Iron Man have fought alongside each other as members of The Avengers, while also on opposite sides (after initially fighting together) during the Civil War crossover event....
