Do you own an iPhone 8 or newer? If so, your iPhone is about to get a major update. Apple's new mobile operating system, iOS 16, is expected to roll out to compatible iPhones on Monday, Sept. 12. The iOS beta indicates several upgrades focused on communication, personalization and privacy. Big changes are coming to the iPhone lock screen, Messages app and Wallet, but lesser-known features lurking in iOS 16 are worth checking out, too.
Three out of four iPhone 14 models feature larger battery capacities compared to the iPhone 13 lineup, with the exception being the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is equipped with a slightly smaller battery compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Apple used Toronto International Film Festival to showcase their newest iPhone’s image-capturing capabilities with some of the first images Apple has released taken by new tech, including a 48mp camera, being of the talent behind the upcoming film and television projects. Taken at The Apple Studio in Toronto by photographer Briony Douglas, iPhone shot portraits include Hillary and Chelsea Clinton (Gutsy), LaKeith Standfield (The Changeling) and Brian Tyree Henry (Causeway).
All Apple Stores in the United Kingdom will be closed on Monday, September 19, out of respect for the planned state funeral of her Majesty the Queen, Apple told UK-based staff today.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are expected to be in stock in retail stores on their launch dates, “reflecting lackluster demand.” As it stands, Kuo says that the pre-order results for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are worse than those of the third-generation iPhone SE and the iPhone 13 mini.
More symbolically, a loss for the archive here would mean yet another blow to the techno-optimistic, quasi-libertarian vision that governed the web’s early years: virtual spaces free from elite control and disruption, an online society based on sharing and discourse over profit. “This is not a direction that the internet has ended up going, this kind of free-to-use, nothing-costs-anything utopian vision,” Witt said. “The powers that be made that go away, and this is just a cleanup action in a fight that was won long ago.”
On the one hand, I use my iPhone almost every hour while awake, from reading to listening to messaging.
On the other hand, iOS updates have never failed me. And I've heard that the beta builds this year were pretty solid.
On the third hand, I really want to try out the new lock screen.
So, I'll probably not be waiting for the weekend before installing the new iOS.
Wish me luck.
