They are already advertising screen protectors for sale and shared schematics from ‘Chinese factory sources’ with us.

Data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners shows that iPhone owners are holding onto their phones longer before they upgrade them. Three years ago, almost two-thirds of iPhones in use were just 1-2 years old, but CIRP says that number has now fallen to just 51%. CIRP attributes the change to a combination of the slowing pace of development and carriers switching from phone-inclusive plans to separate financing for the phone itself …...

Richard Stanley’s Color Out of Space has quickly become one of 2020’s most exciting horror films and it’s one of the better theatrical adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works. H.P. Lovecraft is a master of surreal and cosmic horror, but his stories are quite often difficult to adapt in a live-action sense. Not only is he an author that can leave plenty up to the imagination, but he also deals with fantastical entities that are often designed to defy convention and break the mind....

This morning’s report that Apple is working on an iPhone with a curved display sounds like it will be a rather modest change from the iPhone X. That seems to be referencing a rather subtle curve that may, like the very slight curve at the bottom of the iPhone X, be almost indistinguishable from a flat screen. Technically, of course, the iPhone X display is fully curved, as it folds back underneath itself to make possible the near-bezel-free design …...

The challenges and benefits of a cellular Apple Watch is something I’ve considered throughout different pieces before, but I haven’t always been sure one actually needs to exist yet. I’ve continued thinking about this possibility, however, and now a cellular option is at the top of my wish list for the Apple Watch Series 3. A cellular option could solve specific problems that the faster, GPS-equipped Apple Watch Series 2 hasn’t resolved....

With Apple widely expected to embed a fingerprint reader into the display of the iPhone 8, the company has patented a number of different technologies it could use to accomplish this. One approach would limit fingerprint recognition to the bottom section of the display, meaning that authenticating a fingerprint would have to be a deliberate step, as it is with today’s Touch ID sensor. But a patented granted today would allow a fingerprint to be recognized anywhere on the screen, with Apple specifically arguing that authentication could then be completely automatic …...
