No one ever plans on breaking their smartphone, especially if it is an iPhone. Life is random, though, and accidents do happen. Well, they better stop happening now! Screen repair prices have just took a sharp rise in the US, UK and Australia, going up by roughly $20 on every model starting from iPhone 6S and up to and including iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Important part, though, is that price rise does not include iPhones covered by AppleCare+, which is an extended warranty that covers more cases of accidental damage. Of course, AppleCare+ is not cheap itself, costing additional $99 (much more ...

Earlier on, Apple stated that abrupt changes to one’s looks, such as beards, scarves, hats and makeup will not disrupt Apple’s new facial recognition system. Now, according to Craig Federighi, Apple’s chief software engineer, Face ID recognition will also work even if you put sunglasses on. Mr. Federighi’s exact words were ”Most sunglasses let through enough IR light that Face ID can see your eyes even when the glasses appear to be opaque”, plus an exclamation about how awesome is that.Mr. Federighi was also asked if a thief can can take someone’s ...

New OS is all well and good, but it feels strange to talk about it without knowing what new things does it bring to the table. Here is the list of most of iOS 11’s new features:– revamped Apple Store with a better layout and few new option,– streamlined setup process,– possibility of typing requests to Siri instead of speaking,– Siri can also do simple translations now,– improved Augmented Reality experience,– new photos and Live Photos filters and functions,– Apple Pay Messenger, sending money through text messages,– new Maps ...

iOS 11 will be hitting distribution channels tomorrow. Hurray! Apple’s new operating system brings with it a number of updates, upgrades and new functionalities, but… well, but. As well as the new iOS is (reportedly) doing on new hardware, it does not do well at iPhone’s older devices. If you are using one of the iPhone devices listed below, reconsider updating to iOS 11 – otherwise you may have to face various compability issues. Older iPhone’s stuff just does not have the memory and processing power large enough to put up with iOS11’s demands.– ...

By now you have probably heard about a joke article about Apple’s new ”revolutionary arsehole recognition technology”. If you have not, check it out, it is hilarious – especially if you are not fond of iPhones. Well, it turns out that Apple’s imaginary new feature recognized at least one arsehole alright. Apple was not amused by the joke and informed Facebook to mark this article as spam and block from posting. Ha! Talk about butthurt… anyone got some balm?I doubt that was the article writer’s first goal, but the man certainly managed to get two ...

iPhone X is definitely the king when it comes to three Apple phones presented to us two days ago, but 8 and 8 Plus are also very noteworthy – especially since they have a (slightly) more forgivable price and much faster release date on their side. Here is what we know about the iPhones 8 and 8 Plus:– 4.7 and 5.5′ screens, 1334 x 750 and 1920 x 1080 resolution. IPS LCD panels, 3D Touch tech,– shatter resistant glass panels on back and front, metal casing,– 6-core A11 Bionic chip, 2 and 3GB RAM. All six cores work simultaneously, which increases phone’s ...

Finally, Apple’s anniversary iPhone X has been revealed. iPhones 8 and 8 Plus are all well and good, but this model is where Apple really shines. Whether or not X is worth its extremely high price is up to you, but it is certainly the blingest of the bling phones to hit the market.Lets start with release date. iPhone X is said to come out a bit later than expected. Pre-orders will be taken starting October 27th, and first units of the phone will hit store shelves a week later, on November 3rd. Pretty late, compared to the September 22nd, when iPhones 8 and 8 Plus come. The reason for ...

It has been rumoured that iPhones 8 and X will launch along with wireless chargers, but now it seems that this might not be the case. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI believes that, while two new iPhones most probably will support wireless charging, no official charging docks will be ready for their release. Mr. Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will not hurry to release those chargers, too, instead letting the third-party manufacturers supply the market. This idea is further enforced by lack of any rumours regarding Apple’s new wireless charging ...

Each of the devices is said to come with 512 GB of storage memory.Oh, you wonder how will they cost? Only trifle seven to seventy thousand dollars. Better start saving ...

No duh, right? Everyone would rather pay less for their everything. Still, this is a smartphone news blog, not everything blog, so you will forgive me for reporting smartphone-related news. According to an article by Gizmodo, one thousand Australians were surveyed to answer the question ”How much are you willing to pay for iPhone 8?”. Survey results show that people would rather pay much less for their shiny new iPhones than Apple asks them to (again, no duh):– Australian price for iPhone 8 is said to be $1500. According to the survey, average Aussie would rather pay ...
