Sigh… I would really prefer to write something positive about Apple for a change, but the world simply will not let me. Anyway, back to the point. Reportedly, a large number of people have taken to Apple forums to complain about a new iPhone X bug, namely a delay in the phone’s screen waking up to a call coming through. This leads to the delay in accept/decline buttons showing up; in other words, you have to wait a few seconds before picking up or declining a phone call. Delay is said to last between 6 and 10 seconds – considerable. Restarting the phone has been said to ...

Gotcha! China-based group that made its living trafficking and smuggling fake iPhone and iPad devices has plead guilty to charges of trafficking and conspiracy. Heading the group was one Jianhua ”Jeff” Li, ex-employee of Dream Digitals company. ”Jeff” conspired with at least three other persons, with whom he smuggled over fourty thousand fake iPhone and iPad units from China to US between years 2009 and 2014. The group’s method was relatively simple; Li was bringing their fake Apple products to the US separately from their counterfeit trademarks. Then, already ...

Today’s news come from both Axios and Bloomberg. According to these two sources, Apple executives have made a decision to delay some of the upcoming iOS 12’s features due to how much time and effort it takes to fix all the issues presented by iOS 11. Features delayed include algorithmically enhanced photo management app, redesigned home screen and, possibly, also in-car user interface. iPhone fans can still look forward to features such as advanced augmented reality and enhanced health data ...

– an unknown analyst from KGI Securities believes that the device will come out either in in June, on WWDC 2018 or in September, during the iPhone X2 hardware event,– a few hints suggest that iPad Pro 2018 will be similiar to iPhone X in that it will not be a revolution but a steady evolution of the device line,– the above means that iPad Pro 2018 might as well have a Face ID, and the Touch ID fingerprint sensor may be removed,– which in turn means that the devices’ bezels might be further shrinked.That is all. For more rumours and gossip do not forget to check ...

A bit over a month ago Apple got found out on its deplorable and dishonest/helpful and caused by concern practices of lowering its old phones’ performance. Naturally, scandal and lawsuits followed, one of the effects of which is that now Apple offers replacement batteries for much cheaper. Cheaper batteries are not all, though; newest iPhone operating system, the upcoming iOS 11.3, will give us a very interesting new function that I wrote about last week. Long story short, it will allow the iPhone owners to decide whether they want Apple to throttle their phone’s performance or ...

Coming straight from Taiwan: an electronic store security camera caught footage of a man biting a smartphone battery, second after which the battery explodes. Thankfully nobody seems to be seriously hurt. The video, of course, went viral.According to a report from Taiwan News, the battery in question was a replacement accumulator for an iPhone, presumably one of the older models that Apple has been secretely downgrading to keep them working longer/sell more iPhones. The reason why the man was biting the battery is unclear; theories range from ”he wanted to somehow make sure that the ...

Ermahgerd Apple is d00med, lolroflwpned.Nah, nothing so drastic is going on. Still, few people have probably expected today’s news. AppleInsider has obtained a report from one Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-renowned KGI Securities’ analyst.

Much have been said about the so-called ”batterygate”; so much, in fact, that you probably either know all about it or are not interested at all. If you want to refresh your memory/familiarize yourself with the subject, go check out the link provided – if not, continue with today’s news.His Eminence Tim Cook The Magnificent himself has recently asseverated that Apple is preparing a special update for all its smartphones – or at least older ones. This update, that has been said to come online next month, will allow iPhone owners to decide whether or not they ...

Nowadays life is a bit hard for Apple. Company faces dozens of lawsuits and governments of three different countries are making inquiries into both the ”batterygate” case as well as the even more recent Meltdown and Spectre fiasco. For Apple, life was easier in the past… especially in the USA. According to the survey by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, iPhone was the most often activated (and, therefore, arguably the most popular) smartphone by Americans in the Q4 2017. During the time between October and December 2017, Apple’s smartphones accounted for 39% ...

The answer is 46 plus three official government investigations. This is how much backlash is Apple facing right now for both ”batterygate”, issue of Apple slowing down older iPhones without user’s consent, and newest Meltdown and Spectre fiasco, where it turned out that Apple knew about these vulnerabilities for half an year and did nothing to prevent them. Most of the lawsuits are filed by private citizens (especially one USA citizen whom sues Apple for 999 bilion dollars). France and China have begun their investigations into Apple over the battery issue, while the USA ...
