Wireless reverse charging is a long-awaited feature which we know Apple has been working on for a long time, and which it partly implemented back in 2020. However, it hasn’t been fully activated in any iPhone model, despite widespread adoption in Android smartphones.

Our own sources have indicated that Apple is working on a more advanced version, and a new report says that the feature is currently being tested in prototypes of the iPhone 17 Pro …

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently revealed that a product announcement will be happening today, and it seems 99% certain that’s the 4th-generation iPhone SE – which some reports have suggested will instead be named the iPhone 16E.

A leaker with a decent track record has added his vote to the iPhone 16E (or 16e) naming, though his post is effectively third-hand …

As reported by our sister site DroneDJ, DJI announced on Tuesday the new Osmo Mobile 7 gimbal series with two different models. I’ve been testing a lot of smartphone gimbals recently as vlogging has become a hobby for me.

Apple last year announced an important change coming to the App Store in the EU that would force developers to share their contact information with customers in some cases.

The Ai Pin is officially dead. Parts of Humane have been sold to HP, and the Ai Pin will cease to function in a week. Cause of death? An outdated and undercooked bet against the iPhone made by former Apple engineers that Humane tried to disguise as artificial intelligence hardware.

I’ve used an iPad Pro as my primary computer for nearly 10 years. And over that time, iPadOS multitasking features have changed a lot. But there’s one such iPad tool I depend on that’s been around since the start, and only improved with time: Slide Over.

iPhone 17 season is heating up with two especially interesting design variants: iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro. Yes, there will be a plain iPhone 17, but it doesn’t sound like Apple will be very bold with its design this year.

So what about the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro designs that some are calling radical? There seems to be two camps: those who believe the designs are real, and those who think Apple will never release something like what we’re seeing in leaks and rumors.

By default, iCloud data is secure while in transit. This data is stored in an encrypted format, while the encryption keys are housed in Apple data centers. 15 particularly sensitive data types, like passwords, Health data, and Journal data, use end-to-end encryption as standard. This sensitive data is encrypted with keys derived from your devices and device passcode, which are only accessible by the end user, and thus this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud.

Advanced Data Protection, which is opt-in, provides end-to-end encryption for 10 additional iCloud data categories like Photos, Notes, and Reminders, meaning that Apple no longer possesses the keys to decrypt these categories as well.

It’s been couple of years since Advanced Data Protection rolled out. Are you using it? If not, should you consider using it? In this full tutorial and video walkthrough, I discuss what Advanced Data Protection is, how to enable it, and best practices for protecting your precious data.

Apple’s M4 rollout isn’t yet complete, with the M4 MacBook Air expected to launch soon. But the M5 chip is expected to debut this fall, and when it does, Apple will reportedly remedy an unpopular M4 decision.

The 2025 Major League Soccer season officially kicks off this weekend, and for the third year, Apple is streaming all games with MLS Season Pass.

Apple’s plan to boost iPhone production in India from an estimated 15% of global production today to 25% by 2027 is being deliberately hampered by the Chinese government, according to new reports.

After releasing a video on their expected iPhone 17 Pro design, Jon Prosser at FrontPageTech returns with another video depicting what they believe the upcoming ‘iPhone 17 Air’ will look like, the radically new addition to the iPhone family.

The Air is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus in the lineup, a mid-range model with an all-new ultra-thin chassis design. Many publications have indicated that one of the compromises will be the fact that the phone features a single rear camera. However, these renders suggest that single lens will still be housed inside a full-width protruding bar shape.

Screenshots or videos showing that Low Power Mode is on. Read on as I detail how exactly this feature affects iPhone performance.
