I’d like you to keep this truth in mind as I tell you about the day last week when I used my 2021 iPad Pro as my main desktop computer. What worked (and especially what didn’t work) for me will be different than what you might experience. But this story could prove instructive, because you’ll be able to gain some insight into what it’s like, and what you might (or might not) like....
There’s always been one major problem with Apple’s privacy claim that ‘What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone‘: it isn’t true of iCloud backups. Although Apple uses end-to-end encryption for both iMessage and FaceTime, it doesn’t do the same for iCloud backups. They are encrypted, but Apple holds the key, meaning that the company has access to a copy of almost everything on your phone – and that includes stored messages....
We’ve been expecting an update to the iPad Pro line for later this year. Rumors suggest that the new version will have no home button, Face ID and thinner bezels, following the design trend introduced by Apple with iPhone X. A new asset found in iOS 12 developer beta 5 seemingly confirms a new bezel-less iPad for the fall. The asset is part of the battery usage UI and it shows an iPad with no home button and thinner bezels....
You’ll notice a few new apps (and less available storage) on your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus later this week when you fire it up for the first time. According to an internal Apple Retail training document (seen below), iOS 8 compatible iLife and iWork apps will come pre-installed on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. This includes iMovie, GarageBand, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and iTunes U. Owners of the 16GB models of Apple’s newest smartphones will still have access to these apps for free, but they must be downloaded from the App Store manually or via an App Store prompt....

Also, it was rumoured that Huawei’s sub-brand HiSilicon that makes its chipsets will also make their own GPU for their phones this time....

Apple’s $19 Polishing Cloth has become a hilarious meme but going beyond that, there are what appears to be many people spending real money for the “premium” cloth. Now iFixit has given in to the demands of the masses and done an Apple Polishing Cloth teardown 😂👏. Taking a little “detour” after publishing its initial teardown of the new MacBook Pro, iFixit truly has taken the time to inspect and “teardown” the Apple Polishing Cloth....

HQ Trivia is a ridiculously popular game that’s only available on iOS right now, but that will be changing next week. Previously, it was reported that HQ Trivia was planning on launching its popular game on the Android mobile operating system on Christmas, and it looks like the company technically achieved that milestone. As it stands right now, HQ Trivia is in a “limited beta,” which means that only a small number of players are trying out the title right now, aiming to squash bugs and iron out all the kinks ahead of a public launch....
HTC’s One M10 hasn’t been the belle of the ball just yet, with LG’s G5 and Samsung’s Galaxy S7 taking up most of the attention, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve some time in the lime light. We’ve reportedly already seen what the One M10 looks like in a black hue, but now, thanks to Evan Blass (@evleaks), we get a glimpse of what the handset looks like from the front, and wearing a white coat of paint....

The information already circulated in the form of rumor and may be linked to the company’s problems with the US government.

Kat Dennings is on a quest to reclaim her life following a surprise breakup with her longterm boyfriend in Dollface. The new comedy premieres on Hulu in November and looks to bring a woman-centric, slightly surreal sensibility to post-relationship comedies. Not so much a rom-com in the traditional sense as it is a rediscovery of the power of female friendships, the series is a welcome return to a starring role for Dennings, and a chance for Hulu to offer up a nice companion to the Emmy-nominated PEN15....
The brilliant minds at r/apple have uncovered a brilliant Easter egg hiding in plain sight in a recent iPhone X ad, and frankly I’m envious that I didn’t make this connection first. We’ve heard numerous stories of distracted Apple employees accidentally walking into the glass panes of Apple Park — visually pleasing but practically risky — which has resulted in a few 911 emergency calls and safety stickers being deployed....
To a time when everything made more sense, a time when humans seemed to quite like each other. You’d go to your local Starbucks for a quick chat with a barista and even people you regularly saw in line. But along came isolation, which only fueled the dependence on apps. Chats were out, and speed was in. Starbucks was perhaps the earliest to understand that this was the way things were going anyway....
iFixit has launched a new campaign today called “I’m a Genius” to encourage anyone and everyone to repair their own devices. The initiative calls out how companies use marketing and other strategies to make repair seem out of reach for most people, despite it being doable for anyone. iFixit is also giving away $1,000 worth of tools as part of the campaign. iFixit shared the campaign in a blog post. It starts out by looking back and remembering that repairing products used to be an important value in our culture....
Even with two remarkable handsets in two consecutive years, HTC has been struggling to report a profit. Things seems to be changing for the better though, as according to HTC’s unaudited Q2 reports, it has managed to earn a profit, however modest it is. The $75 million (NT$2.26 billion) profit finally breaks the streak of HTC losing money or barely making it to break-even over the last few quarters. This is slightly higher than what the company made last year ($NT70....
Last year, the Galaxy S4 and a few other handsets were caught cheating in benchmarks to post higher scores. This led many benchmarking suites to delist some of the Samsung and HTC handsets and also gained the companies a fair bit of negative publicity. With the new generation of flagship handsets being released, many hoped that Samsung and HTC would stop boosting the CPU/GPU clocks to score higher benchmark scores....
One day ago, the rumor mill produced information about a new Huawei-branded smartphone called the Nova 2s. And it turns out most of that information was spot-on. Huawei has officially announced the Nova 2s, bringing with it a mid-range smartphone with a big display and more cameras than you can shake a stick at.
