Apple is known to be against 3rd party repairs. Previously, it was confirmed by the company itself that the T2 chip in Macs were also made to discourage 3rd party repairs. Apple has cited reasons for this with the foremost being security and fraud. It is understandable that unsuspecting people can be scammed with inferior repairs which are cheaper than Apple’s services.
However, known Apple repairers such as iFixIt have accused the company of monopolizing its products after-sales services. Now, Apple has reportedly activated a software lock on iPhone batteries to make it difficult for unofficial replacements as well.
According to an iFixit report, Apple [...]
The iPhone X is Apple’s flagship smartphone from last year. When the latest iPhone XS and XS Max started hitting stands after their launch this year, Apple quietly removed the iPhone XS from stores. This was done to ensure that all the focus is on the latest phones. However, in a turn of events, Apple has now resumed production of the iPhone X.
The ReasonThe move has been detailed in a report by The Wall Street Journal. According to their source, the move is due to a deal between Apple and Samsung with regard to the purchase of OLED screens. Apple had agreed to purchase a certain quantity of OLED screens from the company. However, the tech giant is finding it [...]
The new Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are now facing charging issues. Hundreds of users have said that the devices do not respond to a charger being plugged in. The issue could be to do with the iOS 12 update as some older iPhone and iPad variants have also reported the same.

The devices, mainly iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max variants, are not showing the ‘charging’ notification when they are plugged in. This doesn’t happen if you pick up the phone or wake the screen.

American tech giant Apple, recently launched a trio of iPhones during their annual event. And to everyone’s chagrin, the new iPhones carry a rather hefty price tag, where the most expensive model costs as much as $ 1,449, which is approximately Rs. 1,04,800. And recently, rankled by the extravagant prices, Xiaomi mocked the latest iPhones with product bundles in China that cost less than the new iPhone models.
However, it seems that Apple CEO Tim Cook doesn’t share the same sentiment. In a recent interview, Cook defended the prices hinting that the iPhones are well worth the money and said that they want to make an iPhone for everyone. He further stated that one [...]
A few hours ago, Huawei mocked Apple in a series of tweets. However, Huawei’s attempt at making a jibe at Apple backfired when some people pointed out that Huawei should show know better than to mock the very company whose smartphones they copy.

The product bundles, present on the Chinese Mi website, are named after the latest iPhones, that is, iPhone Xs, Xs Max [...]
It is not a mystery that Apple solely relies on Samsung Display, the display-making unit of Samsung Electronics, for OLED displays on its iPhone. However, the recent reports suggest that the tech giant is about to put a full stop on this complete dependence. The reports say that Apple may soon be using LG as a second supplier for its OLED panels.
Similar rumours were making rounds in June as well, saying Apple might turn to LG as an alternative supplier for OLED displays. Now, an unidentified source is claiming that Apple has given a nod to LG’s OLED panels after making them go through a quality check. Initially, Apple’s intention to deal with LG as a potential [...]

During the highly anticipated launch event of the new Apple iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, apple laid a lot of emphasis on the new A12 Bionic chip. What it did not mention was the RAM and clock speeds of the devices. However, GeekBench is here to our rescue and the scores of the devices are out.

Comparing the A12’s scores to the A11, the A12’s performance is a bit poorer in multi-core testing.
