Based on a statement by macrumors.com, it seems that Apple recently ran a durability test for 2 of their foldable iPhone prototypes not too long ago. While not much is known in regards to the official release date, it does give us a better idea on when to expect the upcoming smartphone to be unveiled.

We use a variety of devices every day, including our trusty smartphones, computers, and the World Wide Web itself. When it comes to big brands like Apple or Samsung, we always think of the leaders like Tim Cook or Roh Tae-moon. But they're not actually the people who built the devices we use.

These unsung heroes are the ones working to develop advanced electronics like the iPhone, and are the brains behind the fancy devices that we use today. And when it comes to research and development teams, you can bet that there would be more than a few electrical engineers involved. 

You too can also be one of these unsung heroes by taking the Electrical and Electronic Engineering course at the University of Southampton Malaysia. Interested already? Then you can attend the university's Virtual Open Day from 27 to 30 January 2021. If you need a few more details, please read on.

When Apple designed the iPhone 12 series, OLED panels from BOE was part of the plan. Things didn't quite work on at the time, but it seems like the company will be catching up at last. Sources claim that BOE is now back in Apple's plan and will help supply the Apple with OLED panels.

If there's one year to describe 2020 smartphones, it would have to be the year of 5G devices. Although it's weird to launch 5G devices when the technology is not commercially ready and steady, we aren't going to talk about that. Today, we will be reporting on the recent best selling 5G smartphone which is the iPhone 12.

Apple's emphasis on security is one of the selling points for their products. However, sad things can still happen as it is reported that dozens of iPhone users have had their devices hacked by receiving just a text on iMessage recently. According to the source, these users are mostly journalists from a reputable media company Al Jazeera.

If you surf Instagram a lot, you probably have seen people taking photos of themselves in a bathtub. It's a common tactic for attractive females and influencers to gain tons of likes and shares but unfortunately, that's not the case for Olesya Semenova who recently died for doing so.

Dropping your phone from a table is already bad enough, but imagine yourself in Ernesto Galiotto's shoes when he accidentally dropped his iPhone 6s when he was up in the air. Amazingly, the device was still alive and still managed to record the fall (you can watch the full video here). 

Apart from the new iOS 14.3 software update, Apple also released iOS 12.5 for older iPhone models that don't support iOS 14. Why are they still doing that for out of date devices? Well, turns out that the iOS 12.5 includes COVID-19 exposure notification support. 

This year, Apple has decided not to include the charger and EarPods in the box of the iPhone 12 series for environmental goals. Although it was first doubted by the consumers, the sale of the series is still going more than just well with the iPhone 12 Pro being out of stock globally. Now, it appears that the tech giant might take out another thing from the box for the iPhone 13 series.

Although the Apple iPhone 12 series was announced almost two months ago, the upcoming Snapdragon-888 devices still can't cover its shine. Until now, the iPhone 12 Pro series is facing a shortage globally and people will have to wait for weeks to get them.
