Apple has released iOS 15, and the good news is that the free update for iPhone has plenty of new apps, features, and toys to keep you entertained. While it's tempting to jump straight in, the sensible iPhone owner takes a few steps to make sure their experience of the new iOS version is as smooth as possible. Read on for our advice.
Apple has released iOS 15, the latest version of its software for iPhone, ahead of the arrival of the iPhone 13 in stores on Friday. Previewed back at WWDC 2021, and in public beta for the past few months, iOS 15 brings changes both aesthetic and functional to the iPhone, though not all the features initially promised will be present today.
Over the next few years, the iPhone will see some significant changes. This year's iPhone 13 didn't exactly make major waves when it came to upgrades VS last year's model lineup. According to high-level Apple product predictions released this week, the changes will come in the years 2022, 2023, and 2024 in the form of punch hole front-facing cameras, under-display Touch ID, and foldable smartphones from Apple.
Although Apple adopted a four-phone strategy last year with the iPhone 12 series, Samsung didn't exactly follow suit. The Galaxy S21 offered only three models, eschewing what would have been the equivalent of an iPhone 12 mini. Despite being notorious for copying Apple, it would seem that Samsung will stick to its guns with the Galaxy S22 next year. One difference, however, is that it might actually offer a "mini" base model, which would probably explain its disappointing rumored battery size.
No matter how trustworthy or numerous the sources, leaks are still unofficial information that can't be confirmed until a product's official announcement. That couldn't have been clearer than with the Apple Watch Series 7 that turned out not to be like what almost all the rumors and leaks suggested it would be. Aside from the larger screen, it looked just like any other Apple Watch in the past. That redesign, however, might still happen in the near future, possibly even next year.
The next-generation iPad has just landed and is available for pre-order. It’s a decent device to start with. Not a major overhaul on the exterior, so the look and feel is pretty similar to the previous year’s device. But the brand new ninth-generation iPad packs the firepower to deem the already popular iPad a compelling upgrade.
The much anticipated iPhone 13 line-up debuted at Apple’s Streaming Event in California and it is another impressive set of devices, at least on paper. The iPhone 13 model is destined to be the most popular among them, and it was only time it got compared with the predecessor iPhone 12.
It's iPhone 13 preorder day, and if you've been scratching your head about whether to go iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, or iPhone 13 Pro Max, a new Apple video could help filter through the options. Announced on Tuesday, there's no shortage of information out there on what changes Apple made in 2021, and what sets its four new smartphones apart.
One might assume that the safest way to secure an early-as-possible order of a brand new iPhone would be with Apple's own credit card. Unfortunate for some Apple Card users, the process was not as simple as expected. One common error found in the process was as follows: "There was a problem with the card details you entered. Please try another card."
I've played Pokemon GO since before public launch. Since Google's original Google Maps April Fool's Joke that eventually turned into Pokemon GO, I've felt the draw of an augmented reality in which Pokemon exist. Now, courtesy of a couple of long-time Pokemon GO gamers on The Silph Road on Reddit, I've come to realize that the Pokemon aren't the most important part of the equation. The most important bit here is the potential Niantic has in taking this franchise into the metaverse.
Apple's smartphone range may be gaining the iPhone 13, but it's also quietly retiring one of the Cupertino company's budget-minded models at the same time. While the decision to axe the iPhone 12 Pro now that the iPhone 13 Pro is on the agenda was well-publicized - and understandable - in the aftermath of Apple's fall event earlier this week, the iPhone SE range has also shrunk.
iPhone 13 preorders kick off on Friday, but while there were no big surprises in Apple's sticker pricing for the four new smartphones, the deals on offer could make 2021 an unusual year. There's no doubting that Apple has come to count on iPhone sales to help buoy its financial results, particularly in the first quarter after a new model, but it takes more than just a healthy spec sheet to win over new buyers.
