Everything You Need To Know About iPhone

When reports of the 2018 iPad Pro bending started getting media attention , Apple was quick to dismiss the matter saying that certain units can ship with a slight bend. It said that a bend of up to 400 microns is fine, with the design tolerances for the tablet being tighter than for previous iPads. Apple has now provided more details in a support document on the new manufacturing method it is using on the iPad Pro which can be blamed for the bend. The Cupertino company is using a new “co-molding” manufacturing method for the new iPad Pro in which plastic is injected into milled channels in the aluminum enclosure. After the plastic cools down, the enclosure is finished with a precision CNC machining operation. iPad Pro cellular models now feature Gigabit-class LTE, with support for more cellular bands than any other tablet. To provide optimal cellular performance, small vertical bands or “splits” in the sides of the iPad allow parts of the enclosure to function as cellular a...

Apple has never traditionally taken part in Consumer Electronics Show (CES) which happens at the beginning of every year in Las Vegas. However, for this year’s CES, while Apple has not taken part in the trade show, it is going to make its presence felt with its “What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone” billboard that it has put up near the Las Vegas Convention Center. The area is also adorned with many high profile hotels. With thousands of media journalists, tech press, and folks from the media industry visiting CES over the next week, Apple could not have selected a better spot for this billboard. With this billboard, it would make its presence feel at CES despite not being there on the show floor. Apple’s chief competitors Google and Amazon will be at the CES trade show floor showing off their voice assistants and perhaps announce some new features for it.

Amazon’s Alexa might have started off as a pipe dream, hoping to compete with Apple’s Siri and Google’s own efforts (which is now known as Assistant). But the digital personal assistant from Amazon has turned into one of the most popular options out there. As was reported on Friday by The Verge , Amazon has confirmed that the company has sold 100 million Alexa-enabled devices out there in the wild. That doesn’t just mean Echo-branded smart speakers, but rather includes all the devices out there that are Alexa-enabled. Still, even if that does broaden the available devices, it’s still an impressive milestone for Amazon. The holiday seasons have helped in the past, especially with deals all over the place to reduce the cost for the devices where Alexa can be found. Indeed, Echo devices like the Echo Dot were apparently flying off the shelves, and Amazon saw a huge boost from the holiday sales according to Amazon’s Senior Vice President of Devices and Se...

The hardware vulnerabilities Spectre and Meltdown were big deals leading into 2018, but it looks like Apple will avoid major legal action in regard to a class action lawsuit filed against the company. If you’ll recall, a class action lawsuit was filed against Apple in January of 2018 , with the complaint at the time saying, “Apple knew about the Spectre and Meltdown security defects as early as June of last year, and, as such, did not inform its customer base in a meaningful timeframe. In addition to that, the complaint states that Apple cannot implement a fix for Spectre and/or Meltdown without heavily impacting the performance of those processors”. Apple, for its part, did patch the issue for both iOS devices and macOS machines out in the wild, but that did little to assuage folks affected by the issue in the first place. Which led to that lawsuit. However, AppleInsider is reporting on Friday that the litigation against Apple has been dismissed due to a “lac...

Unfortunately, phishing scams aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. And, worse, some of them are pretty effective in their game to misguide potential victims. The newest scam was briefly profiled by TechCrunch on Friday, and it’s alarming at how sneaky it is at face value. As detailed in the original report, this new phishing scam is a voice call, and it’s disguised behind the guise of an actual Apple Support call. You can see it in action in the photo below. Apparently, Jody Westby got a call from what appeared to be Apple Support. The information that came along with the incoming number even said as much. The person told Westby to give Apple Support a call back, which was actually tied to an 866 number. Westby called back and things were immediately off: “KrebsOnSecurity called the number that the scam message asked Westby to contact (866-277-7794). An automated system answered and said I’d reached Apple Support, and that my expected wait time was about one minu...
