iPhone users rejoice! Apple has finally listened to its customers and brought back the battery percentage indicator icon on the iPhone after a 5-year long absence.

The smartphone world is pretty much dominated by two operating systems, Apple’s ‘wall-gardened’ iOS on the iPhone and the other being Google’s open source Android on a slew of devices. While Android has always had more users thanks to its open source nature, it seems that iOS is catching up with 2022 seeing a record number of Android users switching to iPhone.

The upcoming OS update for then Apple iPhone, iOS 16 will be rolling out to users some time this September with a slew of new features such as the ability to edit sent iMessages. However, it seems like Apple is still finding the right formula for that particular feature, with the latest beta further tweaking how it is implemented.

Apple today released version 15.6 of iOS and iPadOS to all supported devices, which may prove to be one of the last versions of the OS while we await the company to roll out iOS and iPadOS 16. The update brings with it minor tweaks here and there as well as various bug fixes.

Recently, we reported on the introduction of ‘Lockdown Mode’ in iOS 16 by Apple which is an extreme but optional security feature that will block the ‘most sophisticated digital threats’. Well, it looks like the tech giant is pretty confident on the new feature that it has announced a USD2 million or ~RM8.91 million reward to anyone that can crack the mode.

CAPTCHA is one of the web’s most widely-used security features to protect against bots and spams, though the difficulty of some CAPTCHAs have definitely made us question whether we are actually human or just sentient bots. Well, if you’re an Apple user and have had enough of CAPTCHAs, then we’ve got good news for you as a new feature in iOS 16 has made it possible to bypass the security feature in supported apps and websites.

According to a an analysis by market research firm TrendForce, the iPhone 14 series may finally come equipped with 6GB of RAM (the standard these days) across the lineup. Furthermore, the firm also claimed that the iPhone 14 Pro series will get the faster, more power-effecieint LPDDR5 RAM compared to the LPDDR4X touted for the regular iPhone 14 models.

Previously, we reported that Apple may finally introduce an always-on display feature in its iPhones, starting with the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series. Well, today, another source is backing up the claim, this time by reliable Apple insider and tipster, Mark Gurman.

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may feature LTPO panels capable of dropping to as low as 1Hz, hence paving the way for always-on display elements. This is according to tech insider and display analyst Ross Young who is ‘expecting’ for Apple to make such a move with the upcoming iPhone Pro lineup.

Earlier this month, we reported on how Apple was successful in its patent application for an under-display Face ID technology. However, it seems that Apple would only be able to implement such a feature in 2024, making the iPhone 16 Pro potentially being the first ‘full-screen’ iPhone.
