Epic Games vs. Apple trial starts with chants of ‘Free Fortnite’

Apple supplier TSMT working on bringing mini-LED displays to MacBook Pro refresh
Apple refreshed the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro late last year, but only under the hood. But a more hardware-focused refresh is still in the works, and at least one supplier for that future product is seeing improvements in that regard.
The iPad mini 6 reportedly delayed to late 2021; 8-inch foldable iPhone may launch in 2023

Want a second carrier for your iPhone that won’t break the bank? Try Visible by Verizon Wireless
It wasn’t long ago that I shared my personal experience with using the Google Fi cellular service as a secondary carrier on my iPhone. But my curiosity pertaining to a dual carrier setup on my iPhone led to me to research several other Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), and you can probably take a few accurate guesses as to where that rabbit hole took me.
Upon being blown away by Google Fi’s cellular reception and data speeds, I decided to drop AT&T as my primary carrier and switch over to T-Mobile. To those asking why – the T-Mobile network powers Google Fi in my region, and the un-carrier provided an enticing offer after announcing its new truly unlimited Magenta MAX plan earlier this year for a fraction of what I was paying AT&T.
Get a true Guest Mode experience on your pwned iPhone or iPad with LendMyPhone 4
One of the things offered on a Mac that isn’t currently available on the iPhone or iPad out of the box is Guest Mode. This feature allows friends or strangers to log into your device using a separate user account, which means they can take care of what they need to without accessing any of your account’s private and personal files and information.
Conditional gives jailbreakers more control over how and when apps can connect to the internet
Right out of the box, iPhone and iPad users are able to choose which apps can and can’t use cellular data. This can be particularly helpful for those who might be subscribed to capped data plans with their cellular providers since it’s easy to blow through a couple of gigabytes with certain apps.
Oddly enough, neither of the aforementioned devices offer a way to choose which apps can and can’t use Wi-Fi networks, which seems like a no-brainer given that even some home Wi-Fi plans have data caps. With that in mind, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Conditional by iOS developer daniel seems like it could be useful for anyone under this umbrella.

Loupe brings the magnifying glass back to iOS 14’s text editing experience
Anyone that does any capacity of text editing on their iPhone, whether it’s writing a document in Microsoft Word, modifying something drafted out in the Messages app’s text field, or some other form of the matter, may have noticed that the magnifying glass no longer appears when moving the cursor somewhere specific in the body of text.
Apple made this change because you can now pan the cursor across your body of text by tapping and dragging on the keyboard. But that hasn’t stopped a growing number of nostalgic iPhone users from wishing that the classic magnifying glass was still a thing. Said nostalgia is only amplified by the fact that the magnifying glass still exists on the iPad in the latest versions of iPadOS 14.
Apple may announce a new HiFi option for Music, and launch the third-generation AirPods very soon
We've been hearing rumors about the third-generation AirPods for quite some time now. And while expectations had the truly wireless headphones launching in March, that obviously didn't pan out. And we didn't see them at the Spring Loaded event in April, either. But maybe May has something in store for us.
