Interesting, I did not knew about it. So, it turns out that Apple smartphones all have this function that, when activated, erases all the data from your smartphone after ten failed password attempts. This function is not particulary popular, probably due to fear of gettig your password wrong and losing your data, or someone else fiddling with your phone. Perhaps it is worth considering, though? It could stop a thief from getting a look into what is on your smartphone or, if you are on the more mischevious side, could allow you to make a nasty practical joke on somebody.Consider ...

Apple has just debuted its newest operating system during the WWDC event. It was an excellent opportunity for Apple to show off all of the OS’ cool features, and the American company used it to its fullest. None of these features are groundbreaking, but they are all interesting in one way or another:– performance optimalization which will largely benefit older Apple devices. When used on iPhone 6, iOS 12 allowed for 40 to 70 percent faster usage of the device,– better picture search that allows you to search for specific picture based on a wide variety of factors,– ...

There have been rumours afloat the Internet about Apple working on three variants of iPhone X. One of them will be a cheaper version of the smartphone equipped with a 6.1′ display. Now we are getting something of a confirmation of these rumours; renders of the device, found online by the famous OnLeaks himself. So, what is there to look at?– notch, because why not take away some display space,– LED flash under the camera lens,– microphone, also under the lens,– Lightning socket,– roomy chassis, ...

According to 9to5mac, Apple, in cooperation with a company called Pegatron, is busy making prototypes of the so called ”Apple Star”. We know very little about this Star project; it may be some sort of Mac computer ARM CPU, LTE modem, EFI, SIM card slot, waterproof construction and touch screen – the last feature being something that Mac has rarely if ever implemented. A well-known leakster OnLeaks tries to debunk the above, but does not offer any information of his own, only stating that whatever Apple Star will be, it will be available in multiple ...

Mr. White, a classy-nicknamed Twitter user, is the author of the latest iPhone-related leak on the social platform. Mr. White shared a supposedly real picture of iPhone X models with 6.1′ displays. If true, this leak stands in direct opposition to what rumours we heard about the three upcoming iPhone models: iPhone X with 6.5′ display, iPhone X with 5.8′ display and iPhone 8S with 6.1′ display. Mr. White is not an unknown leakster, though, and his findings should not be dismissed as mere empty gossip. Perhaps we shall learn the truth in June, at the official ...

Whether or not we like iPhones (I do not, but I do not like anything so it is okay), we cannot deny that they are extremely popular, even despite their outlandish price and air of ”elitism” that surround them. It is not rare for Apple smartphones to break monthly, quarterly or early sale records, therefore it will not surprise anyone to learn that iPhone X was the best selling smartphone of March 2018, covering (according to Counterpoint Research) 3.5% of worldwide smartphone sales during that month. What may surprise you, though, is that no Samsung phone came second nor even ...

Last weeek I wrote about similiar product – similiar in that it was just as redundant and overpriced as today’s thing. Well, lets get to it…iPhone X Royal Wedding Edition is a special release of iPhone X, produced and distributed by a renowned company Goldgenie. It was released to bank on the media success of the, you got it, royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. What the phone offers is a 24-carat gold crust, picture of the royal couple engraved into the phone’s case + standard iPhone X equipment and, well, that is all. All of this (nothing) will cost us, ...

This beauty has been made by Caviar, a Russian company specialized in producing high-quality, pricey electronic gadgets. What does this iPhone offer us?
