Yesterday, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) agreed to a motion requiring for a common charger for portable electronic devices. Hence, the the European Union (EU) will soon require all technology firms, including Apple to put a USB Type-C port on their devices for charging.

We may finally see a notch-less iPhone that still retains Face ID in the near future as Apple was recently successful in its patent application for an under-display TrueDepth camera. Granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on 5 April 2022, the patent is of an ‘Electronic device including a camera disposed behind a display’.

A further dive into the official patent application document shows that Apple has actually been planning this feature for a long time. In fact, the patent application for the under-display TrueDepth camera was actually made on 24 September 2019.

Apple is potentially planning to release a new variation of its iPhone power adapter soon which is 35W and comes with dual USB-C ports. Currently, the tech giant only has a 20W adapter with a single USB-C port available for the iPhone.

The accessory was first spotted by 9to5Mac in a support document published on Apple’s website. However, it has since been removed from the site, potentially due to it being uploaded by mistake.

Apple has released the iOS 15.4.1 and iPadOS 15.4.1 update on all supported devices which fixes some bugs found inside the previous 15.4 version. Among the things that the update addressed is the battery drain issues faced by some users, as we’ve reported previously.

In order to get the update, users of supported Apple devices only need to go to the Settings app, select General and then Software Update. Besides releasing an update for iOS and iPadOS, Apple has also released tvOS 15.4.1, HomePod 15.4.1 and watchOS 8.5.1.

Reliable tipster on everything relating to Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again. This time, the serial leaker is spilling the beans on a potential under-display Touch ID on the iPhone.

Previously, Kuo said that an adoption of the technology might be coming in 2023, but it seems that he have retracted that prediction. This is because according to his latest survey, Apple may only be adopting under-display fingerprint sensors in 2025 at the earliest.

Reliable tipster and reputable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again by spilling the beans on the tech giant’s upcoming devices. This time around, Kuo’s aim is directed towards the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro, whereby the leaker gave an explanation as to why the upcoming device would have a larger camera bump.

According to Kuo, the iPhone 14 Pro would have a more prominent rear-camera bump because Apple is upgrading the camera to 48MP. In case you didn’t know, Apple has been featuring only a 12MP sensor on its iPhone cameras throughout the last 7 years, since the iPhone 6s way back in 2015.

Apple is reportedly set to ‘revolutionise’ the tech industry once again next year by changing how hardware will be sold. According to a Bloomberg report by Mark Gurman, a reliable leaker on everything Apple, the tech giant is planning to start selling mobile devices through a hardware subscription service.

These include a subscription service for the iPhone and iPad that would require consumers to pay a monthly fee to Apple in order to buy and use the device. Gurman claimed that this service is Apple’s biggest push into automatically recurring sales other than its current digital services.

Apple recently released iOS 15.4 for supported iPhone devices worldwide which comes with a slew of new features. Out of those, the most notable feature has got to be the ability to use Face ID while wearing a face mask, which is super convenient!

However, it seems that the update also brought aboutinconveniences too as many are complaining that their iPhone’s batteries are draining rapidly. In fact, there have been numerous complaints online by iPhone users regarding the matter, including on Twitter and Reddit.

Apple’s controversial move of not including chargers and EarPods when you purchase an iPhone drew the flake of many when it was first announced back in 2020. In fact, a lot of rival companies even poked fun and mocked the decision through various ads, most notably Samsung.

However, 2 years on, it seems that not including chargers with smartphone purchases has become the new industry standard practice. In fact, most of the major smartphone manufacturers have been doing the same or planning to do so in the future. 

Apple has bragged about how long the new iPhones' batteries can last, but what about their charging capacity? Since the company didn't openly talk about that, we'll need someone else to do the test and find out how fast the new iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max charge. Lucky for us, ChargerLAB has gone and done the test, and they got the results.
