I would like to write about some other brand but come on, one cannot pass on something like this XD.One miss Rita Schemeyev (I am sorry for mispronouncing the surname), 25, has recently died. Her father has buried his daughter in a cemetery in a town of Ufa. Mr. Schemeyev has made a somewhat controversial choice of tombstone, though, choosing to have one in shape of iPhone 6 be made. Right… the tombstone is a fairly accurate depiction of iPhone 6, too, down to the logo and the characteristic loudspeaker and camera combo on the upper bezel. Making of it cost, reportedly, around 104 ...

Palo Alto Apple Store robbed twice in 12 hours after iPhone Xs release
Smartphone store burglaries are nothing new; thieves often consider them easy marks due to the goods just laying out there, as well as for how easy it is to hide and transport stolen smartphones.

Release of new and popular smartphones is the best time to showoff the most glaring and immediate of their shortcomings. This time some serious problems are troubling the newly released iPhone Xs, Xs Max and Xr devices.

Sadly, this boast seems to be untrue, if not for all then at least for many. A growing number of new iPhone owners report never achieving high connectivity capabilities with their smartphones; no matter where they are, their ...
Dual-SIM version of iPhone Xs may come out in China
The good news is that the 2x SIM version of the device is in the works; the bad news is that it will probably be exclusive to China. China Telecom has just published the render of the dual-SIM variant of the iPhone Xs (or Xs Max, the jury is still out on that one). Beta 5 of the iOS 12 allegedly supports this option.

iPhone Xs crash-tested
Original article available at Jack Telecom. Long story short, Apple’s newest smartphone is here (or soon to be here, depending on your country). Naturally, the device had to be crash-tested.

Apple’s claims of iPhone Xs sporting ”the strongest 4-curved ...
Old iPhones work faster with iOS 12
Tests performed by the ArsTechnica service confirm that the latest iOS improves the performance of old Apple devices. Tests have been performed on, among other devices, iPhones 5 and 6S Plus and an iPad 2 Mini. Results clearly show an increase in performance when based to iOS 10.3.3 and older Apple operating systems. For example, Safari browser takes up to 2 seconds to start on older operating systems, while it only takes 1.15 second on iOS 12. Camera takes similiarly shorter time to turn on with the iOS 12 than with its older versions. These are not large differences, but certainly enough ...
