THE CHEAPEST of the upcoming trio of new iPhones could land a whole month after its pricey counterparts, so you'll have to pay more if you want an Apple gadget come September. Of the three new handsets, the 6.1-inch LCD model is tipped as the cheapest at a rumoured $600-$699 (which should translate to £600-£699), while the 5.8-inch OLED iPhone XS could cost up to £800-£899 and the 6.5-inch OLED iPhone £900-£999. All three are expected to be unveiled on September 12, with pre-orders on September 14. But then things get a bit complicated. According to top Apple tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the pricier handsets will reportedly land in September (possibly on the 21st), with the cheaper 6.1-inch LCD model arriving at a later date. Supply chain rumblings from Apple's partners indicated that the affordable handset was behind schedule by around a month due to issues with its display, meaning it could arrive in October. The gulf in price between the three models is … [Read more...] about Apple’s ‘cheaper’ iPhone model DELAYED – meaning you’ll pay more at September launch

WhatsApp goes down for some on New Year’s Eve (update: it’s back)
WhatsApp isn’t working today for some users. We first spotted the problems at 9:58 a.m. Pacific — we couldn’t send messages at all, and then they started to go through, but were always delayed. The outage seems to be impacting certain regions more than others. At first it appeared the problems were just a blip, but reports of problems continue to flood in. Complaints about the outage have been ongoing for a few hours now, according to searches on Facebook and Twitter. Sites like Down Detector confirm the problem, while others aren’t registering anything, as again, not all users are affected. In fact, Down Detector shows just how the outage is hitting certain regions harder than others: Indeed, our reporters in Europe are having more problems than our staff in North America, for example. But reports are coming in from all over the world. At the time of publishing, the WhatsApp status account on Twitter has not confirmed any problems. But then again, it … [Read more...] about WhatsApp goes down for some on New Year’s Eve (update: it’s back)
A major iOS bug is crashing devices and blocking access to messaging apps
Just days after we reported on Apple's desire to delay iOS updates in the interest of shipping out a more stable, bug-free experience for their users, a major new software bug has already been discovered. As initially reported by Mobile World, the bug in question occurs when a user running iOS 11.2.5 receives a message containing a specific Indian language character. Once the problematic message has been received, iOS will crash and any attempts to re-open the app containing the message will typically be met with failure. Through their own testing, The Verge discovered other apps are also affected by this bug including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Outlook and Gmail. This bug may not be a problem for most users at the moment but it does carry certain risks if Apple fails to patch it in a timely manner. For example, some bad actors could send emails containing the character in question to iOS users with the intent of crashing their device. However, it seems users may not have to deal … [Read more...] about A major iOS bug is crashing devices and blocking access to messaging apps

If you have a friend who has a Z10 or Q10, maybe you can try it. I've been able to connect with a friend who uses Z10. posted on 21 Sep 2013, 12:37 0 2.

WhatsApp update for Windows Phone hints at future business use for the app
The other day, messaging app WhatsApp told us that it now has over one billion average daily users. And yes, believe it or not, some of them wield a Windows Phone. Today, it was discovered that WhatsApp has updated its beta app for Windows Phone to version 2.17.234. While this is not a major update and contains one small change, it does give us a hint about a future capability of the app.With the update, Windows Phone users will not be allowed to use a check mark character in their profile name. Sounds like nothing, really. However, it actually does mean more than you might think. According to a report published today, WhatsApp has been testing ways for users to use the app to connect with businesses. This feature is going to be available for iOS, Android and yes, even Windows Phone users.The check mark comes into play because WhatsApp plans to use it to denote a business account that is verified. Thus, it can't be used on a person's profile. And don't worry about receiving spam. The … [Read more...] about WhatsApp update for Windows Phone hints at future business use for the app
