The iPod nano also offers a video camera and more, but the FM radio is definitely a leading feature for new music-hungry consumers, according to a US/UK survey from the Radio Research division of Vision Critical. Researchers spoke with 3,000 consumers in the US, Canada and the UK this month, paying particular attention to the impact on 18-34-year olds in contrast to the general population.

The 16 GB version of Samsung’s Galaxy S4 ships with roughly 8.5 GB of free space. The internet complained so much about this egregious fact that the company had to issue a statement that said people should be thankful Samsung spends so much time and energy making TouchWiz. And that if you need more storage, you should just buy a microSD card. Oddly enough, DigiTimes published a piece today saying Samsung is going to “phase out [of] the microSD card market“....

According to device-repair expert and ‘right to repair’ advocate iFixit, a closer look at the iPhone 14 shows it has actually been through a major internal redesign that makes it significantly easier to repair than its predecessors. As such, iFixit has given the iPhone 14 a repairability score of seven out of 10 – the iPhone’s best score since the iPhone 7. Also: iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone 13 Pro: Is the newest iPhone worth the upgrade?...

Multiple leaks of various parts purported to belong to a fifth-generation iPhone, which we’ve been hearing is up for launch October 7, are a norm that late in the game. Today, MacRumors points (here and here) to several components allegedly sourced from suppliers. These parts might have been used in the design of iPhone 5. The back camera module, picture above next to its iPhone 4 counterpart, reveals the familiar compact design calling for the LED flash embedded closely to the CMOS sensor....

Ben’s six hours ahead of me in the UK and had fallen in love with his iPhone 6s before I rolled out of bed, but UPS held my iPhone 6s Plus as requested so I was able to pick it up and spend the morning trying it out before the usual evening delivery. 3D Touch, Live Photos, 4K video, 60 fps 1080p video, faster hardware… it’s all great, but moving from the 4....

You have to feel a little sorry for anyone who has been burning the midnight oil working on the iPhone 8/Plus. A new iPhone would normally be getting a huge amount of attention, but in this case the device has been completely over-shadowed by the iPhone X. The iPhone 8 should, at least, get its own 15 minutes of fame today, as the first reviews go live. We’ve rounded up the early ones, including our own …...

Apple has defended its policy of using strong iPhone encryption such that not even the company can gain access to the personal data stored on devices. The company struck to its privacy guns despite the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman issuing a threat against Apple and other tech giants… ArsTechnica reports on the Encryption and Lawful Access: Evaluating Benefits and Risks to Public Safety and Privacy hearing. Graham didn’t appear to understand the contradictory stance he was taking, saying on the one hand that he appreciated that “people cannot hack into my phone” while at the same time asking Apple to create a vulnerability that would inevitably be discovered by others and used to do just that....

Apple on Wednesday released iOS 16.2 RC to developers and beta users ahead of the official release of the update expected sometime this month. As we know, the update adds new features like Apple’s Freeform app, new HomeKit architecture, and Apple Music Sing.

The base model iPhone 14 (and its larger counterpart) is expected to stick to an A15 chip this year, while the Pro models get an A16.

There’s a lot of guesswork involved in what that might mean in terms of iPhone 14 Pro performance, but it is possible to at least get a rough steer …...

Ex of IPv4: 192.168.1.1 Ex of IPv6: 2003:0ba1:01e1:d001:1ae0:0100:d0f0:0010 IPv6 unicast addresses other than those that start with binary 000 are logically divided into two parts: a 64-bit (sub-) network prefix, and a 64-bit interface identifier. The address consists of 128 bits, versus the 32 bits of currently IPv4 addresses. It is represented as 8 groups of 16 bits each one, separated by the “:” character. Each 16 bits group is represented by means of 4 hexadecimal ciphers, that is, each cipher has a value between 0 and 15 (0,1,2, … a,b,c,d,e,f being a=10, b=11, etc to f=15)....

Drax the Destroyer himself Dave Bautista hypes up fans with the witty banter between Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) in Avengers: Infinity War.

Apple introduced a major photography upgrade to iOS in 2019 with Night Mode on the iPhone 11. Extremely low light shots that would otherwise be lost to the limits of small camera sensors instantly became shareable.
