According to a report by Nikkei Asia (fave.co/3dH3SWv), the iPhones and Macs released in 2023 could feature processors made using a new 3nm chipmaking technology by TSMC. The A17 and M3 processors will be made using this new method and will be in iPhones and Macs in the second half of next year. Reports from December 2021 said that TSMC had started production of 3nm chips after some setbacks, and it was believed that the first 3nm used by Apple would be the M3 for the Mac and the A17 for the iPhone. This new report by Nikkei Asia says that TSMC has developed a new “N3E chipmaking tech” that’s an upgrade from its previous method. A chip’s nanometre (nm) size refers to the width between a chip’s transistors. Smaller…

iOS 16 brings a slew of new features to your iPhone, including a redesigned Lock Screen, editing in Messages, and a new battery percentage indicator. But a new support document warns that one of the best might come at a cost to battery life. In a support document titled ‘Change how your iPhone keyboard sounds or vibrates when you’re typing’ (fave.co/3Re9rta), Apple describes how to turn on the new iPhone keyboard vibration when typing. For the first time, Apple is allowing users to turn on haptics while typing, and it’s one of our favourite new iOS 16 features. But while we absolutely recommend turning it on, Apple warns that it might come at a price. In small print below the instructions, Apple says, “Turning on keyboard haptics might affect the…

Now that iOS 16 has arrived, you’re probably thinking about heading over to Settings and get it on your iPhone as soon as possible. But wait! Maybe it’s not a good idea to rush into it. Initial major iOS updates often have significant bugs, and a few of the coolest features not coming until a later release, anyway. We’ll keep an eye on the general public experience and let you know when it’s a good time to jump in. WHY YOU SHOULD UPDATE NOW Simply put, iOS 16 is full of great new features for your iPhone. The most obvious of which is the awesome new customizable lock screen. There’s new stuff in Focus, you can edit and unsend iMessages, schedule and recall email in Mail, dictation is greatly improved,…

Apple has made its annual updates to its all-conquering smartphone range, introducing the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro devices. So, what’s new? Here’s a guide to the main differences so you know whether or not it’s worth going Pro. DESIGN It’s pretty much as you were for the standard iPhone 14, as the outward design is almost identical to the iPhone 13. The dimensions are nearly the same although Apple has managed to shave off 2g of weight on the new model. This means you get dimensions of 146.7x71.5x7.8mm, weighing in at 172g. The new model is just the slightest bit thicker, too. You might expect most cases to fit, but Apple appears to have slightly shifted the location of the side and volume buttons, so you may…

So you just got a brand new iPhone, you got everything transferred from your old phone and now you’re playing with your shiny new toy. What do you do first? Obviously, you’re going to check out the apps you already have been using on your old iPhone for so long, probably marvelling at how fast they load and how smooth and responsive everything is. Then what? Here are our suggestions for the first eight things you should do with your iPhone 14 or 14 Pro. 1. UPDATE TO iOS 16.0.1 If you have an iPhone 14-series handset Apple has an update that you should install right away. According to Apple’s release notes (fave.co/3DVdiZm) iOS 16.0.1 addresses the following issues: • Unable to receive FaceTime calls or Messages.• Message sent to…

Call it the Godzilla Problem. Apple is so big and influential that any move it makes will have enormous consequences for someone, somewhere. If Godzilla takes a walk, he leaves enormous footprints (and, let’s be honest, a bunch of crushed stuff) behind him. And like any large corporation (or nuclear Kaiju), Apple knows when it’s time to tread lightly and when it’s time to throw its weight around. Any choice it makes – especially where the iPhone is concerned – can move markets, make or break suppliers, and distort the trajectory of the tech industry. When Apple announced the iPhone, it broke the control that wireless carriers had over our phones. Apple would bring the iPhone to the company that agreed to keep its paws off the phone’s Apple-built interface,…

iOS 16 has arrived and if you’ve already downloaded it on your iPhone then you’re already enjoying the new Lock Screen, Messages, and Focus features. But depending on which iPhone you have, some features might be missing – and not because Apple has delayed them. Depending on your iPhone’s age and processor, various elements of the new operating system just won’t work. Here are the new iOS 16 features you won’t be getting on your device and why. LIFT THE SUBJECT OUT OF A PHOTO We’re obsessed with the new feature that lets you cut and lift the subject out of a photo with a single long press. But this is only available on iPhones with an A12 Bionic or better processor, which means you’ll need an iPhone XS, XR…

Apple talks a good game, but tech experts tend to be sceptical about the company’s latest hardware until they can test it out for themselves. Which is a problem if you’re talking about a feature designed for literal car crashes. Nevertheless, TechRax was undeterred by the obvious difficulties and set up a test to see if the iPhone 14 Pro’s crash detection feature was all it was cracked up to be. The YouTube channel’s high-octane test, in a video posted recently (fave.co/3fnP1Rz), involves a remote-control car being driven three times into a car wreck at high speed, an iPhone 14 Pro, a GoPro recording all the data, and a lot of running around. The first test is a wash-out as the moving car merely glances off the wreck and carries…

If you’re a Spotify user, check your email because the company has sent out a warning not to update to watchOS 9 just yet. The company claims there is a bug in the initial release that prevents its music streaming service from working properly. According to Spotify’s email, streaming is problematic. Users can download songs or podcasts to the watch and listen offline, or you can stream from your iPhone, which still works. No details about the bug are available, and Spotify said in the email that users should hold off on watchOS 9 until “Apple has implemented a fix for the issue”. At the time of writing, Spotify’s support website (fave.co/3C5n1d9) does not address the watchOS 9 problem. Apple released watchOS 9 in September, and unfortunately, if you already…

For the first time since the iPhone camera resolution increased from 8Mp to 12Mp with the iPhone 6s, Apple has finally added a denser sensor: the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have a new 48Mp main sensor for primary photography. The physical sensor is about 60 percent larger than the previous standard 12Mp one, so it spreads the amount of light that falls on it more thinly Compared to the earlier sensor. A sensor is made up of millions of elements, each corresponding to a pixel. Apple’s 48Mp sensor has four times as many elements as the 12Mp one – 6,048x8,064 pixels Compared to 3,024x4,032. As a result, even though the new sensor is larger, each element captures slightly less light than on the previous sensor. It’s a combination…

At long last, the iPhone has an always-on display. In true Apple fashion, however, it’s very different than what we’ve seen on Android phones – and exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models, so you’ll need one of Apple’s latest and greatest phones to get it. But if you’ve bought an iPhone 14, you’ll notice that the always-on display isn’t a carbon copy of the Samsung Galaxy S22 or Google Pixel 6. Apple has implemented smart, unique features into its always-on concept. And it just might have some Android phone makers changing the way they do things. THE LOCK SCREEN PICTURE DOESN’T DISAPPEAR For the past 15 years, our Lock Screens have got short shrift. We carefully select just the right photo and see it for approximately one second before…

iOS 16, Apple’s latest iPhone operating system, is a worthwhile update, adding a range of useful and enjoyable features as well as patching security holes and tweaking the overall look and feel. But it’s not quite a perfect experience out of the box, as it were. In a few cases, Apple has added new elements that are likely to annoy rather than delight, and in this article we show how to turn these off. Meanwhile, some extremely welcome new options are deactivated by default, and we’ll show you how to turn these on as well. With these 10 simple settings tweaks you’ll find that iOS 16 becomes an altogether richer experience. 1. GET BACK THE BATTERY PERCENTAGE INDICATOR With the launch of iOS 16, Apple has brought back the battery…

Now that iOS 16 has arrived, Apple will immediately set to work on perfecting it. Over the next several months, there will be new ‘point’ beta releases, starting with iOS 16.1, that tweak things, fix problems, plug security holes and launch new features. Since you’ve already registered for the iOS 16 beta programme, you’ll continue to get betas as they arrive and your iPhone will always be one step ahead. But now that your iPhone has a stable release of a shiny new operating system, you might not want to keep up with the betas anymore. Thankfully, there’s an easy way out. To leave the beta programme, you’ll need to remove the beta profile from your iPhone. Follow these steps: • Head over to the Settings app.• Tap General and…

Just hours after Apple pushed the iOS 16.0.2 update to address several nagging bugs affecting the new iPhone 14 and early iOS 16 updaters, a strange Mail bug has been discovered that could lock users out of their email account. Dubbed Mailjack, VPN Tracker (fave.co/3xTxirq) has uncovered a bug that lets anyone take down your email account by sending a message from an improperly formatted account. VPN Tracker found that an email from an address with two quotes (“”@macworld.com for example) will cause Mail on iOS 16 to repeatedly crash. VPN Tracker has set up a way to test the crash on your iPhone, which requires double opt-in verification to prevent pranks. The Mailjack flaw only affects Mail in iOS 16 and isn’t present on macOS, early versions of iOS,…

There was a time when so much of the progress that came with a new iPhone could be encapsulated in its revolutionary new A-series processor, which added CPU cores, GPUs or special processing engines to enable the model to be so much faster than its predecessor. But a month after Apple’s 2022 iPhone launch event, I’m struck by how much the company has had to shift gears due to the slowing pace of chip development. THE TRADE-OFF Apple’s chip designs are a huge advantage for the company, and (as Apple pointed out last month) its advantage over the competition when it comes to smartphone chips is so large that it can afford to slow down the pace of development while remaining miles ahead. It’s also important to note that the…

The iPhone 14 Pro is here and one of the first things people will want to try out is the Dynamic Island. One of Apple’s most unique interface elements in years, the Dynamic Island isn’t an app or even a setting – it’s a visual representation of things going on in the background while you use your phone. It can be a multitasker – tap the island and it’ll open the app inside it – a shortcut – tap and hold and it’ll expand to show more information – or just a notification tray. In his review of the iPhone 14 Pro (fave.co/3xXHQWr), Marques Brownlee collected all of the things the Dynamic Island can do out of the box. Keep in mind that this list will expand greatly once third-party…

With the launch of the new iPhones and Apple Watches, the annual autumn season of the latest Apple tech is now fully upon us. But though the September event may be the first and most prominent in the run-up to the holiday season, there’s almost certainly more waiting in the wings. When we look forward at what to expect from subsequent Apple announcements, it can be instrumental to look at the way Apple is positioning the products it’s already released this year. In particular, both the Apple Watch and the iPhone lines saw ‘main’ models (the iPhone 14 and the Apple Watch Series 8) that received less substantial updates, while the company took much bigger swings for its top-of-the-line models (the iPhone 14 Pro and the Apple Watch Ultra). What…

iOS 16 is here, but is it that different to iOS 15? Here’s a quick look at how it compares to its predecessor and the new features that should make it a serious upgrade. THE LOCK SCREEN While iOS 15 did a good job of smartening up the look and feel of the system, it still left the first screen you see a bit on the basic side. That’s changed now in iOS 16 thanks to the revamped Lock Screen. With this feature you’re able to customize how the information appears on the screen. Photos can be placed in front of things like the time and date, making the aesthetic more 3D than before and certainly better than anything you’re likely to find on Android at the moment. You can…

Apple’s got plenty of alreadyannounced features coming to iOS 16 in updates later this year. But in the company’s press release announcing the initial availability of iOS 16 (fave.co/3fqhvKs), it announced an upcoming feature we hadn’t heard about yet: Clean Energy Charging. It was just an offhand mention in a footnote about iOS 16 availability, crowded in with other features we know are coming in updates later this year such as Live Activities, iCloud Photo Sharing, and support for the Matter smart home standard. So we don’t have a lot of concrete information about Clean Energy Charging yet. Apple says Clean Energy Charging “aims to decrease the carbon footprint of the iPhone by optimizing charging times for when the grid is using cleaner energy sources”. What’s more, a footnote…
