A year later I feel much better saying that the 15 Pro line of iPhones is one of the greats. USB-C is a major win for consumers, nerd and normie alike, the materials and design changes are wins over a uncomfortable design we had for a few years previous, the camera upgrade to 24MP standard is very welcome, the action button lets people who want more control over their phone to get it, and battery life is notably improved over the very disappointing 14 Pro lineup.
Apple will use organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays in all iPhone models sold next year and afterward, switching its lower-priced iPhone SE models to OLED screens from liquid crystal displays (LCDs), Nikkei has learned.
[...]
According to multiple sources, Apple has begun placing orders for OLED displays for the upcoming iPhone SE from China's BOE Technology Group and South Korea's LG Display. This change marks the end of LCDs in iPhones, with the SE model scheduled for release in next year also featuring an OLED display, along with standard-priced iPhone models and premium Pro models.
Stellar Data Recovery’s chief strength is the breadth of its data recovery engine, and it does this well. The software offers support for hundreds of file formats, and a comprehensive set of filters allows you to search and recover by file type (such as documents, images, etc.) as well as file headers and attributes, which becomes useful for more complicated recoveries.
The time and productivity tracking app now applies project rules to calendar events so Timing more frequently suggests the correct project when you click a calendar event.
With Workout Summaries, Gentler Streak users can personalize their workout logs with custom titles and photos. This makes the experience of using the app even more personal and also makes it fun and easy to remember the moment of a specific workout.
Founder Erica Wright, who launched the app at the beginning of 2022, came up with the idea after years of working in communications for several luxury e-commerce companies. ‘Over the years, I noticed that stylists and editors were frequently looking for sold-out or past-season items that were no longer available,’ she says. ‘This made me realise that if industry insiders were struggling to access these items, how much harder must it be for the average customer?’
The price of some Canva subscriptions are set to skyrocket next year following the company’s aggressive rollout of generative AI features. Global customers for Canva Teams — a business-orientated subscription that supports adding multiple users — can expect prices to increase by just over 300 percent in some instances. Canva says the increase is justified due to the “expanded product experience” and value that generative AI tools have added to the platform.
SwitchBot has just made it easier to keep track of your wallet with its new Wallet Finder Card. It is fully integrated with Apple’s Find My network and can be used in smart homes with SwitchBot’s Matter-enabled lock.
This cycle of enthusiasm, struggle, and disappointment has become all too familiar. It’s the Hydra Project Effect: no matter how much progress I make, new challenges always seem to sprout in their place. But while this pattern may seem unbreakable, I’m determined to find a way to tame this beast.
The organization that runs National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) declared condemnation of AI “classist and ableist,” and participants in its annual writing challenge are pissed.
Apple has been refining the recent iPhone models over the years, starting from new design brought forth by iPhone 12. Unless Apple has suddenly learnt to keep secrets real well this year, the upcoming iPhone that will be announced next week will continue to be refinement rather than an abrupt change. So, if one is to want a really good iPhone that is well tested, it sure seems like this is the year to buy one. (Battery life will be great!)
(Of course, I can be wrong. Don't listen to random strangers on the internet, that's what I say.)
