News & Reviews:   iPhone XR pre-order

A supply chain in China claims that Apple may be working on a more affordable version of the iPhone without their iconic Face ID. Sources say that it may instead come with an under-display (UD) fingerprint reader to keep costs low and notches smaller (a definite plus if this were to happen).

We’ve seen the iPhone XI renders and they were pretty… interesting. Now 360 renders of the iPhone XR 2019 have surfaced and it looks just as odd as the iPhone XI’s design with the dual rear camera setup.

More and more devices are ditching rear mounted fingerprint scanners and opting for in-display readers. Apple looks like it may be hopping onto the bandwagon soon with the iPhone XI but it will be a little more interesting than other device’s fingerprint readers. The new technology is called “acoustic imaging”.

If you’re an iPhone user, you should update your Whatsapp app now! Their latest update that came 4 days ago now allows users to add an extra layer of protection of their texts from unwanted eyes with Touch ID or Face ID.

Apple is facing lawsuits after some users found that their devices were rejecting their older iPhone chargers which was filed last Monday in California. The lawsuit claims that thousands were facing the issue after an update stopped their phones from recognizing the older chargers.

Apple’s iPhone lineup such as the iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XR as well as future iPhones will have their price reduced to make up for the low sales for the poor sales numbers recently.

Apple recently updated their rules on the “Shot on iPhone” contest stating that “winners will receive a licensing fee for use on billboards and other Apple marketing channels”. The changes in the competition rules were a reaction to a previous complaint made on Twitter, in regards to the unfair usage of the picture submissions.

2019 may be the year of change for Apple. Apple’s infamous lightning cable for the 2019 iPhones may be replaced with the USB-C just like the latest iPad Pro. Big wow, amirite? It may be a move by Apple to slowly expand their ecosystem to be more inclusive which is definitely a welcome move.

In case you miss it, we have recently covered the iPhone XR, iPhone XS as well as the iPhone XS Max launch with prices starting from USD749(~RM3100), USD999(~RM4139), and USD1099(~RM4553) respectively.

Apple has launched their 2018 refresh of iPhones starting with the iPhone XR, iPhone XS as well as the iPhone XS Max which is priced starting from 749USD(~RM3100), 999USD(~RM4135) and 1099USD(~RM4549) respectfully.
