Last week, on iPhone 13 launch day, the crew over at iFixit took a little peek under the hoods of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. That initial teardown revealed a few noteworthy things, but it wasn't meant to be the full view. For folks waiting to see what's inside Apple's latest smartphone, though, the wait's finally over.
Every once in a while, the Beats brand opens its doors for some collaboration with another company or brand. The Apple-owned Beats by Dre is back at it again, unveiling today a brand new pair of Studio3 Wireless headphones. This time around, the collaboration is with a fashion brand.
The all-new, redesigned iPad mini features plenty of noteworthy elements. That includes the "all-screen" design thanks to its smaller bezels, Touch ID built into the top button, and a USB-C port. Among other things. But it looks like Apple slipped in another detail, tied to what many would consider is one of the more boring elements of the tablet.
While Apple Music appears to be a pretty popular service for the company, there's no argument that Spotify is still the leader in the streaming music space. And there are plenty of iPhone customers that choose the service for their listening pleasure. Which means an issue with excessive battery drain on the most recent versions of iOS is not ideal.
I don't know about you, but before I consider picking up a new device I usually go over the reasons why I need it. That starts with why I want it, of course, but before I'll pull the trigger on a purchase I at least need to tell myself I'll use it. And, depending on the device and just how expensive it is, that justification is a requirement. Because if I end up buying something and then not using it for a few days, or longer, I tend to return it or sell it off.
iFixit usually has a pretty speedy turnaround time for teardowns after a new product launches. That's certainly the case with iPhones, as there is generally a lot of interest in that sort of thing. If for no other reason than to see the latest repairability scores. This year isn't any different, and the repair crew offered up an initial look at what's under the hood for both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro.
The iPhone 13 is barely out there in the wild, but it appears many owners are running into some issues. This time around it's related to the iPhone's ability to unlock via Face ID and an Apple Watch. The feature launched in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, so those with a Face ID-equipped iPhone could unlock their device without punching in their PIN. However, some iPhone 13 owners are running into some issues with that particular feature.
Today is iPhone 13 launch day. (And also iPad mini 6 and iPad 9, too!) And for folks who plan to restore from an iCloud backup to get their new phone up and running, Apple has a bit of a warning: maybe don't do that. Or, if you do, be prepared for a day-one security update to fix a potential issue.
Apple is still a leader when it comes to podcast distribution. And with podcast popularity still at an all-time high, the company wants to make sure it doesn't miss the bus altogether. As a result, companion podcasts meant to promote, and diver even deeper into, Apple Original films and TV shows are a thing. And now there's a new one to look forward to.
Tomorrow, the iPhone 13 lineup goes on sale. And for those who pre-ordered in time, will start being delivered to doorsteps, too. But according to a new report, for the folks with an iPhone 13 Pro who plan on using their MagSafe Duo wireless charger, there may be an issue.
Earlier this month, Apple confirmed that its fall lineup slate for Apple TV+ would consist of at least three new family -friendly series, created mostly for kids. We got a trailer for one of the upcoming shows at the time, and now we get a look at the other two.
Today, Apple TV+ has shared the trailers for both Puppy Place and Get Rolling With Otis. The former of the pair is based on a Scholastic best-seller of the same name, which was written by Ellen Miles. The series is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 15, 2021. It's a scripted series, where people try to find "fur-ever" homes for puppies that need them.
It's been a process, but Apple is adopting USB-C as its go-to option for ports on many of its devices. A slow process, but a process nonetheless. But the company is obviously still missing a few important pieces in the puzzle, some of which are the most important components. And the European Union is looking to change that.
