You might have seen a tweet or Facebook post over recent weeks with a picture of someone’s swollen iPhone 8 case. A handful of such claims have surfaced since the phone started shipping on 22 September, and as expected, they are making headlines all across the web. But there’s no reason to worry yet. Bulging batteries are caused by a build-up of gases inside the cell. It generally affects older batteries that are reaching the end of their lifespan, but while it’s rare, it’s not completely uncommon for it to affect new batteries as well. In fact, if you search for ‘iPhone 7 battery swelling’, you’ll find numerous cases of Apple swapping out new iPhones that experienced the very problem being spread across social media. In total, there have only…

Every new iPhone poses the same question: Are the improvements awesome enough to warrant an upgrade? Well, there are tons of reasons to upgrade, but for this article we’re just comparing cameras. Specifically, I put the iPhone 8 Plus against last year’s model, the 7 Plus, to see how much Apple has improved its camera game. A quick glance at specs doesn’t reveal too much. Both cameras still rock dual 12Mp setups, with the normal lens at an aperture of f/1.8, and telephoto lens at f/2.8. Unfortunately, only the normal lens has optical image stabilization (OIS), even though stabilization would be even more useful on the telephoto lens, as it’s more sensitive to camera shakes. Nonetheless, the 8 Plus does upgrade its Sony sensor, which has so-called ‘deeper’ pixels, and…

Apple’s use of an Apple ID on iPads is something Apple does towards keeping your device secure. But it can also be problematic, especially if you have multiple Apple IDs and can’t remember the user names or passwords for them all. iPad & iPhone User reader Mae ran into an Apple ID problem when using her iPad. An Activation Lock suddenly appeared on screen. Now I am not sure on what Apple ID I used to set up the iPad. I also forgot its password, because I’m using a different Apple ID. The message that appears is ’This iPad is linked to an Apple ID. Enter the Apple ID and password that were used to set up this iPad’, followed by the email address. I have a variety of bad…

Breaking down the barriers between your PC and your phone is one of the biggest goals of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, which is available now. Microsoft has announced that Windows 10’s Edge browser is coming to iOS. All are designed to make shifting files and web pages between devices easy. The mobile Edge browser syncs with your Microsoft account, so your favourites, history, Reading List, and customized New Tab Page cross over no matter what device you’re working on. Microsoft’s announcement post doesn’t specify whether your collection of e-books from the Microsoft Store syncs as well, but we’d expect them to do so given the recent drive to turn Edge into an e-reader. The mobile version of Edge also includes a ‘Continue on PC’ button that pushes whatever…

Apple’s latest version of its mobile operating system introduces a handful of brand-new features. In fact, this version of iOS feels like the most ambitious version we’ve seen in a while. Here are the best new features that we already can’t live without. 1. Siri’s new tricks Siri is one of those features that keeps getting better with each software upgrade, and iOS 11 is no exception. This time, Siri gets a new voice, plus a super-helpful visual interface that lets you even edit your voice request with text input. And now, Siri is able to translate phrases for you – it can process English to Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Apple said that it will add more languages in the months to come. 2. Customizable Control Centre Currently,…

Apple has never been a company to dwell on the past. In the last year alone, it’s killed off the ability to sync apps to your iOS device via iTunes, the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, and the Home button on the iPhone X. Even the venerable iPod line has (mostly) been put out to pasture. These all come from a place of ambition: the company isn’t shy about kicking convention to the curb if it thinks it can replace the old with something new and better. (Admittedly, not everyone always agrees that what’s new is better, but Apple doesn’t spend a lot of time soliciting opinions.) So in the spirit of Apple’s merciless machete, I started thinking: what other long-running conventions of the company’s mobile platform might be…

The past month was a huge one for iPhone hardware, from the now-released iPhone 8 and 8 Plus to the upcoming iPhone X, but you don’t need a new device to have a little fun right now. We saw loads of intriguing new iPhone and iPad games debut. These are the games that made the strongest impression, from the ethereal Flower and puzzling The Witness to the frantic online battles of Modern Combat Versus and the glossy hoops action of NBA 2K18. 1. Flower Price: £4.99 from tinyurl.com/y924oxcs First released for PlayStation 3 in 2009, Flower is one of my all-time favourite video games, so imagine my surprise when it popped up on the App Store. It’s a quiet, almost meditative experience in which you control actual flower petals, beginning…

i Phone X. It’s real, it’s here, and it’s very expensive. After months of rumour and speculation, followed by the biggest pre-launch leak ever, on Apple finally revealed the iPhone X during the company’s annual autumn press event in September. This is a radical departure from the form factor of every other iPhone out there, including the brand-new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. It comes with a jet-black edge-to-edge OLED screen topped by a TrueDetect camera system that enables a brand-new Face ID unlocking system and Animoji features. Pre-orders don’t start until 27 October, and we won’t know everything about the phone until we can get our hands (and faces) on it. For now, we’re here to answer all of your questions about the new iPhone X. Price, colours, storage…
