The iPhone 15 Pro could be the first Apple smartphone to go completely notchless, if rumor on the street is to be believed. The speculation stems from reports that Apple has ceased all work on an under-display Touch ID for the iPhone 14 Pro in lieu of improved Face ID. The Cupertino-giant is expected to further develop Face ID to work with an under-display camera system and this technology could be ready in time for the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023.

Reportedly, Apple is working on two devices with foldable displays, starting with a foldable iPhone. Originally tipped to launch in 2023, Apple's first foldable device is now thought to be arriving two years later. Meanwhile, Apple is also developing a foldable MacBook with a 20-inch display, which could launch towards the end of the decade.

Apple’s infamous Lightning connector has served as a sounding board for anti-Apple propaganda by Android fans and tech pundits alike for many years. Let’s brush the dust off this ancient I/O and explore all the reasons why Apple should retire the Lightning connector once and for all.

According to reports, Apple has suspended development of in-display Touch ID sensors. Originally thought to be part of the iPhone 14 series, Apple will concentrate on improving Face ID instead, leaving Touch ID as an iPhone SE, MacBook and iPad exclusive feature. Reputedly, Apple has finalised the design of the iPhone 14 Pro too.

It has been reported that workers in some Apple stores in the US have been making secret plans to form a union. The main issue is pay, with complainants feeling they deserve more in return from the world’s most valuable company. Those involved in the unionization movement have been putting their iPhones to the side and communicating via Android smartphones.

Park Chan-wook, director of the modern classic Oldboy, has partnered with Apple to post a 21-minute big-production-value video, albeit apparently shot using nothing more than several units of the iPhone 13 Pro. The project is ostensibly intended to showcase the 2021 flagship's upgraded cameras, previously touted as capable of shooting entire features as in this instance.

CPU and GPU performance projections for the Apple M2 and M2 Max seem to indicate that Apple's upcoming silicon can offer potentially offer decent gains compared to current M1 and M1 Max SoCs. The M2 Max's multi-core performance can beat that of the Alder Lake Core i9-12900HK while its purported 40-core GPU can theoretically come close to the performance of the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU all while consuming just a fraction of the power.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra and its array of incredible camera hardware is widely considered as being able to match the iPhone 13 Pro Max in most shooting conditions. DxOMark disagrees, though, and its review of the Exynos Galaxy S22 Ultra sees it scored well below the Apple flagship, and outside of the top ten.

A new leak has now claimed that Apple will upgrade standard RAM on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max from the 6 GB on their predecessors, to match what is widely available on current Android flagship phones.

Last year, Apple held a Spring Event chock-full of new hardware releases. Recent rumors suggest 2022 will be no different with a brand-new iPhone SE, iPad Air, and new Mac(s) expected at an upcoming virtual event in early March. Let’s take a look at what to expect!

New attempts at rendering the Apple iPhone 14 Pro have resulted in some tremendous images that could almost be taken as official marketing material out of Cupertino. The fan-made concept renderings show the iPhone 14 Pro in silver, gold, and graphite, and they incorporate an optimistic price tag.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has performed with merit in a battery life comparison test, but it could not keep up with the predecessor S21 Ultra or the rival Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max. Other flagship smartphones included in the Galaxy S22 Ultra battery life comparison were the Google Pixel 6 Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro.

iOS and iPadOS versions 15.3 were pushed in order to patch a slew of vulnerabilities on iPhones or iPads. However, it left one, which may have allowed the execution of "arbitrary" code. Never fear, though, v15.3.1 is here to address this potential security issue. There are also now new corresponding macOS and watchOS versions available to install.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has announced that the popular Chinese OEM will be targeting the high-end sector of the smartphone market in future to allow it to grow and develop. Ironically, Xiaomi has Apple and the iPhone’s market dominance in its sights after spending years being accused of being an Apple copycat.

Apple has announced that a new feature by which merchants will be able to take in-person payments using nothing more than their iPhone, using these devices' NFC modules. Although it is not to become available until later in 2022, its launch has led to speculation that it will also unlock the ability to buy using cryptocurrencies via the new system. Either way, the new ability will only be available in the US on its release.

For iPhone users looking to push their devices to the max, let us take a look at three highly-anticipated features that enthusiasts are hoping we will see in the iPhone 14 lineup later this year. “No-notch November” predictions aside, these alleged enhancements are sure to enhance any workflow.

Described as "the ultimate travel and work companion" and less than 500 grams (1.06 pounds) in weight, the EXCITRUS PD100W power bank has a 20,800 mAh Li-ion battery inside and the ability to charge up to four devices simultaneously (via wireless charging, two USB-C ports, and one USB-A). The price tag reads just US$99.

Feeling like iPhone updates have been a bit of a snooze-fest lately? You are not alone. The good news is iOS 15.4 introduces a plethora of amazingly useful and highly requested features ahead of Apple’s next major iteration. Let’s explore 4 features from iOS 15.4 that you will be incredibly excited to try once it releases.

Jon Prosser purports to have received hands-on photos of the next iPhone SE, currently referred to as the iPhone SE 5G or iPhone SE 3. Unsurprisingly, the third-generation model resembles the iPhone SE that Apple released in 2020. The iPhone SE 5G is expected to arrive this spring alongside new iPads and Macs.

The iPhone SE 2022 has now surfaced in new renders that show it sporting a not-so-new design. The A15 Bionic-powered compact phone is expected to make its debut in the first half of the year, with 5G support and likely updated cameras being its biggest selling points.

Reportedly, Apple is preparing to release a new cheaper iPad in India, along with the iPhone SE 5G and iPad Air 5. The trio have already been certified for release in Europe too and could debut at Apple's spring event.

From the slow and painful death of a so-called revolutionary charging mat to the promise of digital IDs in the Wallet app, let us take a trip down memory lane and relive some of the times our favorite fruit company served up a “bad apple” (AKA empty promises).

New renders concerning the iPhone 14 Pro have leaked, some seven months before the iPhone 14 series is expected to arrive. Unlike previous renders, these show the iPhone 14 Pro with a wide camera bar, mirroring the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The device still has three rear-facing cameras, though.

The world's first waterproof iPhone with a USB Type-C port has sold online, but for nowhere near the US$86,001 that the original USB-C iPhone project achieved last year. The former's creator is still selling modified iPhone X handsets with USB Type-C connectivity too, but for US$2,700.

Gionee has introduced its latest device as its G13 Pro, although many consumers might be inclined to identify its design as that of the iPhone 13 instead. The levels of odd deja-vu do not end there, however, as the OEM has chosen to use a UI based on Huawei's Mobile Services. The phone is now up for pre-order at a markedly affordable price.

Apple has unveiled the first iOS 15.4 beta, following the public release of iOS 15.3. The inaugural iOS 15.4 beta brings a few new features to iPhones, such as third-party support for ProMotion displays, currently restricted to the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple has added two COVID-related features, too.

Apple has been found to have ended 2021 at the top of the smartphone market in China for the year's final quarter (4Q2021), outdoing local brands such as Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi. The Cupertino giant has not been in this position since 2015, with its highest share of this market on record. By contrast, the Chinese market as a whole declined by nearly 10% compared to 4Q2020.

While Apple Watch became the number one best selling watch in the world, surpassing Rolex back in 2017, the smartwatch still feels very much like a unique utility for Apple enthusiasts. Here are four amazing apps that casual users and dedicated techies alike will find entertaining, useful, & packed full of utility.

Some Apple iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro devices are suffering from pink colour overlay issues. The problem renders devices unusable, but Apple does not have a simple resolution yet. However, it does not believe that hardware issues are the cause.

Currently, most new Pro-series iPhones are shipped with displays made by Samsung. However, BOE aims to cut into that market with new panels with the specs Apple might be looking for in future models. They include LTPO and a double-stack tandem structure, which could persuade the Cupertino giant to throw more orders its way from 2023 on.

According to reports, Apple is planning on releasing up to four products at its spring 2022 hardware event. Reputedly, a next-generation Mac mini and an iPad Air 5 could join the already rumoured iPhone SE 5G, along with an iMac Pro and even an SoC more powerful than the current M1 Max.

The iPhone 14 series, a refreshed iPad Pro with M2 silicon, and a new entry-level MacBook Pro are some of the highlights of a full launch schedule Apple reportedly has planned for fall (autumn) 2022. On top of those headliners, it’s also believed that Cupertino will have the Apple Watch Series 8 and an updated Mac Pro to show off.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has yet again been put through a Genshin Impact gaming test, this time versus the Apple 15 Bionic on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The results? Well, not particularly impressive, especially in terms of power consumption.

Reputedly, Apple will hold off on equipping iPhones with periscope cameras until next year, starting with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, Apple is tipped to opt for five-fold optical zoom, rather than matching Samsung with its ten-fold optical zoom camera in the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Apple is expected to release a third-generation iPhone SE soon with its A15 Bionic chipset. Thought to be arriving this spring, 3D printed dummies suggest that the iPhone SE 3 will look familiar to anyone that owns a current iPhone SE or an iPhone as old as the iPhone 6.

After the upcoming iPhone SE 3 was already rumored to launch in spring of 2022, an established leaker has now offered a more specific timeframe for the release date of Apple's upcoming 5G budget smartphone.

Apple had been kept off the top spot in the mobile devices market worldwide for the first 3 quarters of 2021. However, it shot back up to #1 for the year's final quarter (4Q2021), despite a slight drop in its share compared to 4Q2020. This success is attributed to the iPhone 13-series, even with its supply-chain issues.

Apple has significantly reduced the amount of discount users get when they trade in their Android smartphones for an Apple device. For instance, where Apple used to give US$325 for the Galaxy S21 5G, the company now gives US$260. The reduction in value is reflected throughout Samsung’s flagship phone lineup.

The rather sophisticated but still imperfect workaround that enables Apple CarPlay on Tesla's infotainment system may present technically inclined users with an experimental method to improve the connectivity between their iPhone and their electric car.

Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro do without noise cancellation during phone calls, including the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple had included the feature in the iPhone 12 series and in older models to improve call quality in noise environments. However, it has not given a reason for removing this feature as of the iPhone 13 series.

Apple's upcoming iPhone SE 3 will not be launched this year. A new leak now claims it could debut in 2023 rather than 2024 and could do so with a 5.7-inch AMOLED. Apple will launch an iPhone SE model this year, though, but it could be branded as the iPhone SE+ 5G.

The iPhone is the only modern flagship series that lacks a USB Type-C port, with Apple remaining resolute of its proprietary Lightning connection. While an engineer introduced the first iPhone with a USB Type-C port a few months ago, it compromised the smartphone's water resistance. Now, someone has managed to accomplish both, which they will soon be selling.

Rumour has it that even the entry-level in the iPhone 14 series will have a 120 Hz ProMotion display, a notable upgrade on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. 6 GB of RAM could be arriving too, albeit without a bump to 8 GB for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple's next 'Pro' iPhones could receive improved storage configurations, though.

The latest software versions for iPhones and iPads were announced about half a year ago now, and have been found to be installed on about 70% and 60% of their compatible devices released over the last 4 years respectively. However, in the case of iOS, this figure is beaten by that of the preceding 14 version from a year ago.

A report by Counterpoint Research has now provided a look at sales of Apple's iPhone 13 range in China. The iPhone 13 dominates as expected but the iPhone 13 Mini comes in last by quite the distance, further buttressing rumors of Apple axing the iPhone 14 Mini.

The Khadas Tea may be a MagSafe compatible DAC, but it also works with Android devices using USB Type-C or Bluetooth. The DAC supports up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio when using a wired connection and should start shipping in March 2022. The Khadas Tea is orderable now for US$159 through Indiegogo.

Apple is expected to release a third-generation iPhone SE soon, perhaps up to six months before the iPhone 14 series arrives. New leaked CAD renders purport to show what the next iPhone SE will look like, which includes a single rear-facing camera and a notched display. Apparently, the panel change will bring a 5.69-inch display to the iPhone SE, and without making its chassis any larger than the current model's.

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models may get upgraded to a 48 MP main camera with larger pixel sizes, according to a TrendForce report. It is possible that Apple may use downscaling algorithms to give a final 12 MP output from the raw 48 MP sensor data. While the 48 MP main camera will be limited to the iPhone 14 Pro models, the entire iPhone 14 lineup is slated to get 8K video recording.

An analysis from Goldman Sachs has revealed that Apple has largely met demand for the iPhone 13 series of smartphones. On the other hand, the supply for the 14-inch and the 16-inch MacBook Pros still lags behind the demand. Unlike the iPhone 13, the MacBook Pro supply situation has worsened.
