These days, Apple is content to follow trends, not set them
[ad_1] Take, for example, the new Deep Fusion computational photography feature that Phil Schiller described as “way cool.” It’s an image-processing system that taps the A13 Bionic’s neural engine and uses machine learning. According to Apple, this system will “do pixel-by-pixel processing of photos, optimizing for texture, details and noise in every part of the […]
AppleCare+ for the iPhone and Watch is available as a monthly subscription
[ad_1] The change was first spotted in a new AppleCare+ legal document and reported by 9to5Mac. It could benefit customers who plan to keep their phones, iPads or watches for more than two years. They’ll be covered for longer, and Apple will get a continuous stream of subscription revenue. But they could end up paying […]
Apple’s keyboard folio shouldn’t cost half the price of its new cheap iPad
[ad_1] A couple of years ago, I borrowed a first-generation iPad Pro, with their smart keyboard folios and pencils, to see if they could replace a laptop. Nothing I do here at Engadget requires a lot of brute force computing power, but it does demand versatility. I need to get in, write a document, edit […]

Apple can make TV+ ubiquitous through brute force
[ad_1] No, Apple’s best weapon will be its near ubiquity. For one, there are hundreds of millions of iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple TVs already in people’s homes. And many more will be arriving later this month when the newest iPads and iPhones go on sale. Let’s also not forget that, earlier this year, the […]
All the important news from Apple’s iPhone 11 event
[ad_1] The iPhone 11, which is intended to be the successor to the iPhone XR, features the same display as last year’s model. But it offers longer battery life, two new cameras and six entirely new colors. All three phones will feature an entirely new Bionic A13 chip, which means not only will they perform […]
iPhone 11 hands-on: Still cheap and cheerful
[ad_1] The work that Apple started with the XR continues in the new iPhone 11, which I’ve just spent a little time with. I find myself drawn to the 11 for the same reason that I liked the XR so much: You’ll get serious power at an even more serious discount. Remember: The standard iPhone […]
The iPhone 11 Pro vs. the competition: Battle of the cameras
[ad_1] The new flagship iPhone is here, and Apple’s added the word “Pro” to its name — the first time Apple’s used that word for a handset. And no wonder: The camera on the iPhone 11 Pro is a triple camera setup that takes nine images with each press of the shutter and uses a […]
