Concept: a notch-less iPhone with a hole punch display and a minimal camera bump

Apple is expected to release the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR successors in the fall and much of the debate has thus far focused on that massive rectangular-shaped camera bump that we saw on CAD renderings. One designer has put together some cool mockups imagining the next iPhone with a minimal camera bump and a notch-less appearance thanks to a hole-punch display like we saw on the Galaxy S10 range.

Making-of video shows Apple used explosives to create an avalanche for the nature-focused “Don’t Mess With Mother” mini film

Apple yesterday shared a new video featuring beautifully shot scenes of nature from around the world. Today, the company released a making-of video revealing how the project was shot using iPhone XS cameras and some additional equipment and accessories, like cinema-quality lenses and stabilizers. For the scene of a stunning avalanche, Apple used real explosives rather than computer graphics and special effects.

ShortcutEnabler brings iPhone X-inspired camera and flashlight shortcuts every handset’s Lock screen

If you own any of Apple’s notched handsets, such as the iPhone X, XR, XS, or XS Max, then you’re already familiar with the two small shortcuts that appear on the bottom left and right of your Lock screen for the Flashlight and the Camera.

These shortcuts are incredibly useful in a pinch, and yet Apple never thought to provide them for users of older, non-notched handsets. Fortunately, you can now change that with the help of a free jailbreak tweak called ShortcutEnabler by iOS developer NoisyFlake.

Disable burst mode in the iPhone’s Camera app with NoBurst

Your iPhone is more than a phone – it’s also a powerful point-and-shoot camera that comes out of the box with a ‘Burst Mode’ built-in that can capture a multitude of photographs in rapid succession.

Burst Mode can be incredibly useful, except when it’s not, and if you happen to find yourself accidentally burst-shooting your camera shutter more often than you’d like, then you may take a liking to a new free jailbreak tweak called NoBurst by iOS developer iCraze.
