One comment about Motherboard's "reveal" that iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were more likely to bend than the iPhone 5S... Of course this was known because the iPhone 6, and especially the iPhone 6 Plus are MUCH longer and thinner than the MUCH smaller iPhone 5s. Take a stick that is 12 inches long and...

"For Apple, this week has been a storm of bad news." Here are the three "bad news" stories that are really no big deal at all: 1) iPhone 6 and 6 Plus only bent if an unusual amount of pressure was applied to it. Bending only occurred if the user was doing something unintentionally destructive...

Strategy Analytics reported that Apple shipped an estimated 600,000 HomePod smart speakers in the first quarter of 2018. That accounts for about 6% of the market for smart speakers. That is very impressive considering that this was the HomePod's very first sales quarter, and that the HomePod...

There is also an article on the web, titled: "80 things Apple says you can ask Siri on HomePod". The list of examples is quite extensive, and each one has been verified working by the article's author.

"Siri simply can't do as much as Alexa and Google Assistant" It's puzzling how some people have a preconceived opinion (for whatever reason) that Apple's Siri is not as good as Alexa. This opinion is subjective, but it is also shot down by actual methodical testing done on the various AI voice...

"You'll need to keep performing the steps above to disable the throttling"... ... Until you realize: 1) that you will continue having unexpected shutdowns if you turn the power management off, and 2) that you need to have your failing battery replaced.

Apple DOES NOT give Face ID data to third-party developers (or even to themselves). They don't do this, because they can't. Face ID data is stored encrypted in the Secure Enclave (hardware that is not accessible by any application). In fact, NO Face ID user data is even required by third-party...

"Pressing and holding the display just seems like a needless extra step." Agree. A simpler method would be to just lift your thumb/finger after the swipe up, and immediately place it down and swipe up to remove apps.

MOJOEHERB: "Regardless, Apple I-phones always seem to be faster but when the real test comes in, like opening up a web page or even some files" Wow! How anyone can read an article and view indisputable test results, and still be in denial, is amazing! Evidence is given of a "real [world] test"...

"So, when it's on a flat surface, the handset "rocks, rolls, and rattles" more than previous models, he said." Seriously!?! I have an iPhone 7 Plus, and it DOESN'T "rock, roll, and rattle" when it's used on a flat surface. Since it has been reported that the rear cameras on the iPhone 8 will...

This prototype is an old one. The current design has a glass back... Not metal! Also, case manufacturers have already been turning out new case designs for the iPhone 8 based on the specs provided by Apple, and NONE of those cases have a hole on the back for a Touch ID button. Using this old...

That prototype is an old one. The current design (probably already in production) has a glass back... Not metal! Also, case makers are using the current design (which does not have a Touch ID on the back) for their new cases. Those new cases, which we've already seen a few of) don't have an...
