Being a single parent means juggling multiple roles, from provider to nurturer, and while mother and Reddit user Perfect_Phone9777 has been raising not one, but three kids, she’s been providing them everything they need.However, when the girls, who are triplets, approached their 16th birthday, they wanted to do something special, individually. The mom broke down the numbers and their needs amounted to $4,000 — a sum she just didn’t have.After the family failed to find a compromise, the woman made a post on the ‘Am I the…

The iPhone 16 will have a redesigned camera arrangement on its rear, with the two sensors being stacked vertically this time around, in a weird but obvious nod to the way Samsung likes to do these things. Such an arrangement has been rumored multiple times so far, and today we get an image of what is purported to be the iPhone 16's camera chassis. And indeed this shows two cameras vertically arranged, not diagonally as they are the iPhone 15. This would appear to be the new camera module of the iPhone 16, as you can…

Last updated: February 15th, 2024 at 15:10 UTC+01:00 2024 is all about generative AI features on smartphones and you can bet your bottom dollar that Apple will be jumping on the bandwagon as well when it finally unveils the iPhone 16 series later this year. Samsung has already taken the spotlight with the Galaxy S24's Galaxy AI so Apple has no choice but to respond. To that end, Apple would need to make improvements to the chipset for its iPhone 16 so that the phone can power all of these new AI features. A new report…

A new supply chain report has revealed that Apple plans to introduce huge hardware upgrades to the iPhone 16 to power its big AI leap planned for 2024. Apple is widely expected to unveil its next best iPhone in September, complemented by significant AI upgrades to iOS 18 which should arrive at WWDC 2024.

In case there was any doubt - let's take it all away right now in one fell swoop. AI is definitely the buzzword of this year, even though it kind of, sort of also was the buzzword of last year. But there's an important distinction - last year it was the buzzword generally in tech. This year, it's on in the mobile space. Just ask Samsung. Or Apple, as it turns out. The next iPhone generation will come with a vastly improved Neural Engine - guess why. We dare you. Guess. Indeed, it's all about AI. Specifically,…

In September 2023, MacRumors revealed that Apple will equip the iPhone 16 models with a capacitive button called the Capture Button. As the name suggests, this button will be able to trigger a photo capture. In December 2023, the publication also revealed that the company could place this button on the right-hand side of the devices, replacing the mmWave antenna on US models. The same month, Mark Gurman claimed that the button would also be able to trigger a video capture, and earlier this month, a report from The…

Apple‘s latest prototype of the iPhone 16 has surfaced featuring a vertical camera arrangement with a “pill-shaped raised surface”. Notably, the design looks a lot similar to the iPhone X’s camera module. According to AppleInsider, this design update could be due to the inclusion of “Spatial Video”, a feature that is currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the more recent “spatial computing” platform, the Apple Vision Pro. To help readers better visualize the design changes, MacRumors has created…

Apple has published some new adoption rate numbers for its mobile operating systems, and they reveal an interesting situation where the trajectories of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 compared to their predecessors are practically opposite. iOS 17 adoption is trailing iOS 16 adoption around the same time last year. The new version is already on 76% of iPhones introduced in the last four years. That's compared to 81% for iOS 16 at a similar point in time. Sure, the difference isn't huge but it's there - perhaps people don't…

It’s not that I didn’t know the iPhone’s Camera app is one of the apps I use most, but the holidays just made me realize how important it is. Also, the prospect of having a dedicated Capture button on the iPhone 16 that would offer immediate access to the Camera app and help me snap pics and videos faster than ever would be a bigger upgrade. It might be an even bigger upgrade than the USB-C and Action button that the iPhone 15 series brought in.The Capture button is reportedly a pressure-sensitive capacitive…

The first iPhone 16 rumors dropped soon after the iPhone 15 launch, delivering a remarkable detail. All 2024 iPhones would feature two buttons. First, the Action button the iPhone 15 Pros have will trickle down to the base iPhone 16/Plus models. More importantly, all four iPhone 16 variants would receive a mysterious Capture button. This one will sit on the right side of the handset, under the power/standby button.Considering its name, I speculated at the time that the Capture button might be related to the…
