New devices, new teardowns. That's what we can expect from the crew over at iFixit, and, sure enough, the trend continues. Today, the teardown experts have taken apart Apple's newest and smallest tablet. Along the way, they even describe what some are calling a "major issue."
When it comes to charging, there are a few different options to go with. You could go with the wired choice, and then you can choose either slow, standard, or fast charging. Or you can go with the wireless charging route, and yet again slow or quick. But if you choose to go with the fastest, then it might be nice to know just how fast you can go.
It has been over a year since Facebook revealed that Instagram was launching its own TikTok-style competitor. That feature is called Reels, and, as you can imagine, it's all about creating short-form video set to some (popular ?) music. And now the feature is going wide.
There are quite a few documentaries and docuseries available on Apple TV+. And now the video streaming service is getting another one, based on a new report. And this one's going to be about a former chief executive of a major automobile manufacturer.
Changes, they are a-coming. Apple's not too pleased with it, and Google might be arguing behind the scenes, but when the legal decisions arrive there's not much else they can do. That's the situation in South Korea, where the government ruled that both companies need to allow alternative App Store payments.
"Jelly scrolling" isn't something we see pop up all the time. But, when it does, it's usually a small blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things. That will more than likely be the case with the iPad mini 6's situation, too, but at least Apple isn't outright ignoring the situation.
It doesn't happen every time when Apple gives a series order to a new show destined for Apple TV+, but this time around we have quite a clear picture of what's coming down the pipe. This time around, it's a new show focused on a young woman's journey to find her own voice.
Earlier this month, Amazon officially unveiled a brand new Kindle eReader. And yet, the company has more to show off today. Amazon hosted its annual hardware event and showcased a variety of new products customers will be able to make their own soon enough.
The iPhone 13 lineup launched earlier this month. And, unfortunately for some new owners, a bug surfaced that caused the new hardware to not properly communicate with a paired Apple Watch to access the ability to unlock the iPhone 13 with an Apple Watch. This feature is designed to make unlocking an iPhone with Face ID much more streamlined while wearing a mask (but it works without a mask, too, like when wearing certain sunglasses).
Earlier this month, Apple released iOS 15 to the public, along with other updates for the company's additional platforms. And now, looking ahead, the company is moving right along for the next update to the mobile operating system. Which requires some beta testing.
Way back in June of this year, Microsoft unveiled the next big update for Windows -- Windows 11. There was a lot to go over at the time, of course, but one of the biggest shining spots for Microsoft's upcoming desktop OS update was a change to the Microsoft Store. The company confirmed that the digital storefront would not only allow for developers to utilize their own payment options within apps, but that it would support Android apps, too.
Some partnerships take time before the fruits of the effort come to life. In this case, it's the multi-year partnership between Apple and Skydance Animation. The two companies announced the deal back in February of this year, and it wasn't until April that we saw the first look at an upcoming short film called Blush.
