Apple has announced a new repair scheme for owners of the iPhone X. The iPhone X Display Module Replacement Programme provides a fix for those having problems with the touchscreen. According to Apple’s support document (go to fave.co/2DK987x), the issue at hand is whether the iPhone X fails to respond to touch, intermittently stops responding to touch, or the screen reacts without being touched. If your iPhone X is experiencing these issues, you may be able to have it fixed for free. The fix involves replacing the display module and the service must be done by an Apple authorized service provider or at the Apple store. If you paid for a prior fix for this problem, Apple says you may be eligible for a refund for the service. For more…

The new iPhone XR might not be a flagship, but it’s really good. So good, in fact, that I called it Apple’s best iPhone ever in my review – not because of its specs (which are technically inferior to those of the XS and XS Max), but because of its value proposition. That’s pitting it against other, pricier iPhones, though. I wanted to see how the iPhone XR would fare against three of Android’s best phones: the Galaxy Note 9, Pixel 3 XL, and OnePlus 6T. We’ll walk through all the major factors we review in a phone, discussing each phone’s pros and cons and picking a winner. Display Ask any screen geek about the difference between the iPhone XR’s LCD display and an AMOLED screen, and they’ll tell that…

ROMAN LOYOLA reveals what to consider when selecting an Apple Watch Picking an Apple Watch used to be a little complicated, with various different case materials, bands, and style. Now, Apple has become more focused with the Apple Watch, which means that the selection process is a lot easier than before. Now, the case materials, bands, and style are characteristics of the models Apple offers. Apple offers four different Apple Watch models, but three of the models – Apple Watch Series 4, Apple Watch Nike+, and Apple Watch Hermès – have the same insides, so they’re basically the same watch. For the purposes of this guide, whenever we refer to the Apple Watch Series 4, that reference also applies to the Apple Watch Nike+ and Apple Watch Hermès. Let’s take…

The days of Apple’s fortunes being tied entirely to the iPhone are over. Between iPads, Macs, HomePod, Apple TV, and Apple Watches, not to mention a very rapidly growing services business, Apple’s most famous product is not necessarily the only one that matters. But it is still the most important product in Apple’s entire portfolio. It has the most cultural significance, the broadest reach, the greatest cachet, and it is for most people the entry point into the all-important Apple ecosystem. The iPhone XS was a predictable ‘S’ model phone, taking the major design and features of the previous year and improving performance and camera quality. For 2019, hopefully Apple goes further. Here’s what’s in the hope chest for the 2019 model iPhone. Note that general software improvements are not…

It took a year, but Apple is finally recognizing that the iPhone X display has issues. As the first completely redesigned iPhone in years, the iPhone X wasn’t without its share of issues when it launched. Apple seemingly fixed most of them via a stream of software updates, but many users have complained about persistent issues with the screen. And Apple’s finally doing something about it. At long last, it is launching an iPhone X Display Module Replacement Programme (fave.co/2DK987x) to address lingering touch issues. Here’s everything you need to know: What is the iPhone X Display Module Replacement Programme? According to Apple, it “has determined that some iPhone X displays may experience touch issues due to a component that might fail on the display module”, which could result in…

One of the new features in iOS 12 is Siri Shortcuts. When we first heard about it we were excited by its potential, but when the operating system arrived we were baffled by it. Like us, the first time you probably noticed a Siri Shortcut was when you pulled down from the top of the screen to search or to see Siri suggestions of apps you might want to use, and were confronted with a option to ‘Send a message’ to someone you were conversing with. Maybe you saw a ‘Place a FaceTime call’ option, or an offer to do something in a particular app. This is a Siri Shortcut. Apple’s virtual assistant has recognized that you habitually do certain actions and is pre-empting this behaviour. Siri just got even…
