Iphone xr revisited the best iphone apple cant sell

Advertisement Last month Apple quietly dropped the word “Air” from its iPad line, leaving just a regular iPad, the iPad Mini 4, and two iPad Pro models left to choose from.If you’ve seen Apple’s recent iPad Pro adverts, the change should come as no surprise. The company is pushing the Pro models as full-fledged laptop replacements, while sales of the plain old iPad continue to wane.So what does this mean if you’re looking at buying an iPad in 2017? Let’s run through the changes and answer the questions that matter.Air No MoreA recent Guardian article sums up Apple’s changing marketing philosophy using Andy Warhol’s famous Coca-Cola analogy: “A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking.”The company is known for creating high-end premium devices, rarely appealing to the cheaper end of the market. But … [Read more...] about Regular iPad or iPad Pro? How to Pick the Right Apple Tablet

Advertisement U2 is one of the world’s biggest rock groups, and their latest album just ended up on your iPhone or iPad for free. Great deal, right?Not for everyone.Remarkable as it may seem, the people who bought the 130 million U2 albums and the owners of the currently active 300 million iPhones don’t necessarily converge. Tribalism still rules in the music industry, and a lot of people don’t seem particularly happy that the Irish group’s latest album “Songs of Innocence” was rolled out to devices around the world with no active participation in the click-and-download process.Just what is going on here? Can Apple now do what it wants with your iPhone or iPad? Just who do U2 think they are (or, if you’re under 15, just who are U2?), and how on earth will you delete “Songs of Innocence” so that you can use those megabytes for long players you actually want to listen to?U2 At The iPhone 6/Apple Watch LaunchApple’s … [Read more...] about Yes: That U2 Album Means Apple Can Send Data To Your iPhone

If you're not a fan of OLED displays on smartphones, then 2019 is the year to buy yourself a new iPhone as it looks as though Apple is set to drop LCD completely next year. As The Wall Street Journal reports, the end of LCD panels in iPhones looks to be near due to a couple of major factors. The first is the iPhone XR, which is Apple's only LCD-using iPhone model this generation. It hasn't sold very well for a number of reasons, with cheap batteries and China being the two biggest. Sales are so poor, Japan Display who supplies the iPhone XR LCD panels and relies on Apple for a big chunk of its income, is in serious trouble. The Japanese company has relied on several cash injections from a government-backed fund and shareholders to stay in business, but now it is considering selling a 30 percent stake of the company in order to survive.

Apple specializes in offering premium phones, and that applies to its prices as well as the quality of its handsets. This is the company that was first to break the $1,000 barrier for a smartphone, and it looks set to continue to do so. However, this week the cheaper iPhone XR starts shipping, but buyers beware, damaging Apple's cheapest new iPhone still results in a very expensive repair bill. Just in time for the iPhone XR making it into people's pockets, Apple has revealed the repair prices for the phone. The repairs are broken down into two categories: "Screen repair only" and "Other Damage." For screen repairs, the cost of having your iPhone XR display replaced is $199. That's compared to $279 for an iPhone XS display change and $329 for the iPhone XS Max. If you have AppleCare+ then this charge doesn't apply (see below for adjusted costs). The $199 is payable if the screen is damaged by accident, you don't have AppleCare+ but the phone is still under warranty, or your phone stops … [Read more...] about Apple Reveals iPhone XR Repair Prices
