The next-gen iPhones are expected to debut in the second half of this year, probably in September. However, according to a report from Nikkei Asia , at least one of the models of the iPhone 14 series is falling behind schedule. And the reason behind the delay is reportedly the COVID lockdowns in China . The report suggests that the Chinese suppliers for Apple are facing delays due to the stringent ongoing lockdown in the country. As per the report, the lockdown in and around Shanghai is deferring the usual operation, delaying the development of one of the iPhone 14 models. It is being reported that Luxshare has secured orders to manufacture two of the four iPhone 14 models expected to come out this year. Meanwhile, Pentagon is another huge supplier for the Cupertino giant. And it is believed that the two are facing a hard time keeping up with the schedule owing to the no-COVID policy in China.

Apple, one of the biggest tech companies on the planet, reportedly doesn’t think it’ll sell any more iPhones this year than it did last year, despite rumors that the iPhone 14 will come with some major improvements ( via MacRumors ). While it’s not necessarily a canary in the coal mine (or a Waffle House being closed ) that the world will keep getting worse, Apple predicting that sales of its most popular product won’t grow could be a sign that the company’s relatively pessimistic about the state of things in the near future. According to Bloomberg , the company is asking its suppliers to make around 220 million iPhones, which is similar to how many it requested in 2021. This runs contrary to some analysts’ predictions, which forecasted that Apple would need to make around 20 million more phones this year than it did last year. It’s easy to see why. The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to ditch the notch (meaning it’ll be very obvious who has the new phone and who doesn't, … [Read more...] about Apple’s reportedly flat iPhone production target for 2022 isn’t a great sign

SAN FRANCISCO: Epic Games , the maker of Fortnite game, has challenged Apple for its stand that third-party app stores would compromise the iPhone's security. In a fresh court filing, Epic said if Apple can allow sideloading on Mac devices and still call those computers secure, then surely it could do the same for iPhone. "For macOS Apple relies on security measures imposed by the operating system rather than the app store , and anotarisationa¿ programme that scans apps and then returns them to the developer for distribution," the new filing said. "The operating system Apple uses in its Mac computers (macOS) does not include the challenged restraints found in the iPhone operating system (iOS), and Apple publicly touts the Mac's security," read the filing. Apple also permits multiple alternative payment solutions in the App Store for apps selling physical goods, "confirming that the requirement to use Apple's in-app payment solution, IAP, for digital goods … [Read more...] about apple: Epic Games challenges Apple again in App Store anti-trust case

Cristiano Amon, directeur général de Qualcomm, estime que les ventes de smartphones haut de gamme ne seront pas affectées par un éventuel ralentissement économique, et a déclaré au Forum économique mondial (WEF) de Davos qu'il voyait une marge de croissance possible même dans le climat actuel.

iMessage on the iPhone feels like an instant messaging app, but it doesn’t quite have all the same features. What if you accidentally send a message to someone? Can you undo it? The answer is a little complicated. Let’s get the short answer out of the way. Once you see that “Delivered” label appear under an iMessage, you can’t “unsend” it even if it hasn’t been read yet. However, there’s a trick you can use to maybe stop that from happening if you act fast. RELATED: What Is iMessage, and How Does It Differ From SMS? What Does “Delete” Do? You may have noticed there is an option to “Delete” messages you’ve sent (touch and hold message > More > trash can icon).

The same goes for deleting entire conversations in the Messages app. You’re only removing the conversation on your end. It will still be present on the recipient’s iPhone. This is … [Read more...] about Can You Unsend in iMessage?
