I immediately noticed this when testing out the cameras just after unboxing. Nobody had to tell me about it - it's pretty obvious.

I tried taking a picture with the front-facing camera and noticed that it seems to be applying some kind of "beauty filter" like a lot of the Chinese Android phones have started doing. Under the wrong conditions I look like a wax figure of myself. U…

I mean, isn't it always an algorithm? I've seen people say that it somehow uses both cameras, but how do you stitch images of completely different focal lengths together? It's never made sense to me.

Like I said, the rumors of the X being "discontinued" were indeed true. People just didn't understand what that meant.

Zune was my first thought. Remember the "copper gold" rumors? Maybe a bad picture of that.

I hope it fixes the bug where a single click of the side button brings up Apple Pay. It's been there since launch and it's super annoying when it happens.

I don't think the new iPads are going to have a notch. Besides the leaked icon from the beta not including one, it just doesn't make sense. These aren't single-handed devices that you can hold by the edge, so some degree of bezel is going to be need…

The other day I was having lunch with three iPhone users and none of them knew that 3D touch was even a feature when I brought it up. Even knowing about it, I practically never use it. Cursor moving is the only thing I've actually found useful.

If you're using your ATV 4K with HDR/Dolbyvision mode turned on, you really need to adjust the default settings. By default, the ATV will output EVERYTHING in HDR mode which can really screw with the picture on SDR content. Change your output mode t…

Better than AirPlay would be direct Apple Music support so the audio doesn't have to bounce through your phone. My Yamaha AVR supports this for Spotify, Pandora, and Deezer. But of course, Apple Music itself would need to support controlling a remot…

Samsung and Apple's pencils aren't styluses, they're digitizers.

I think the reports about "killing the X" were true, but people didn't understand what that really meant. When a new iPhone is released, the previous year's model is sold at a $100 discount. But the X was not an ordinary iPhone - Apple billed it as …

If Apple would make something like a wireless Beats X, I might be interested. But as someone who cares about sound quality, no way is a pair of buds ever going to be the "best" at anything.

Maybe Spotify users just have more discerning taste. I know I'm listening to Pusha T's Daytona instead.

Fast charging really isn't worth the money. It's only faster under 50% and then it's the same speed as the 12W charger. I always charge @12W and my 7 Plus was still at 100% battery health more than a year after launch day when I sold it. I try and s…

Cellbrite is widely suspected to be using NAND mirroring, a method that's been demonstrated as a proof of concept. They de-solder the memory chip, clone it thousands of times, and then install an external interface on the phone so the chip can be ea…
