FiLMiC’s multi-camera video tech comes to the iPhone 11

[ad_1] You read that right: A new app. The company’s press release doesn’t make clear when or if this multi-camera recording feature will wind up in its flagship FiLMiC Pro app, but DoubleTake works well enough as a standalone that it’s well worth installing anyway. There are, however, a few caveats to keep in mind: […]

Amazon slashes Echo Buds to $90

[ad_1] Amazon’s Echo Buds have had their first ever price drop, and are now on sale for $90 instead of the usual $130. This AirPods alternative does a lot of things well: its customizable, the hands-free Alexa function works great – and the Buds are maybe a bit more inconspicuous than Apple’s offering. That said, […]

Apple envisions a Mac made from a sheet of curved glass

[ad_1] One section of the patent imagines sliding a MacBook’s keyboard section through the slot, suggesting this design could also be used for a laptop dock instead of a full-fledged computer. This isn’t a product roadmap for Apple — we wouldn’t count on a curved-glass Mac like this arriving soon, if at all. There would […]

India is now a larger smartphone market than the US

[ad_1] This isn’t to say non-Chinese brands fared poorly, but the results were mixed. Apple grew quickly at the end of 2019 thanks to iPhone XR price cuts and the debut of the iPhone 11. Samsung, however, saw flat results at the same period and ultimately declined five percent in 2019. It’s not shocking that […]

Apple gets its WiLan patent payout reduced to $85.2 million

[ad_1] We’ve asked Apple for comment. WiLan had argued that many Apple products, including iPhones ranging from the 6 to the 7 Plus, had been using voice over LTE technology covered by two patents. It’s a rare instance of WiLan declaring victory over Apple. The Canadian “patent monetization” company (read: patent troll) has largely been […]

Apple says EU push for universal phone charger would ‘stifle innovation’

[ad_1] Apple also felt that rules weren’t necessary when the industry was already consolidating around USB-C, either through port changes or through cables (as with the iPhone 11 Pro). The industry has consolidated from “30 chargers to three, soon to be two,” Apple said. It still hoped the European Commission would look for a solution […]

Apple Watch Connected program rewards you for wearing it to the gym

[ad_1] To start, they must offer iPhone and Watch apps that allow you to track your stats, see what classes they offer and log in at the gym. They must also accept Apple Pay so that you can use your Apple Watch (or iPhone, if you brought it with you) to pay for stuff at […]

DOJ letter reveals the FBI recently cracked an iPhone 11

[ad_1] While the Department of Justice, US attorney general and even the president continue to pressure Apple for additional technical support in unlocking iPhones tied to the naval base shooting in December, a letter reveals that the FBI recently cracked a password-protected iPhone 11. That phone belonged to Lev Parnas, an associate of the president’s […]

Bloomberg: Apple will start making a smaller, cheaper iPhone in February

[ad_1] Kuo and Bloomberg previously reported that the upcoming affordable model will look like the iPhone 8 and will have a 4.7-inch screen. It will also reportedly be powered by Apple’s A13 chip, which also powers the iPhone 11. A separate Bloomberg report says the company recently asked its partners to increase their A-series processor […]
