Apple’s latest iPhones, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max might not have the best battery performance in the sea of smartphones but they are definitely better than their predecessors. However, it often happens that iPhones die mid-way on heavy usage that makes you reach for either a socket to plug the handset or a power bank. To solve that issue, Apple today launched the ‘Smart Battery Cases’ for its iPhone 11 series. These can be purchased from the US for now at $129, which roughly means Rs 9,000. Although launching a battery cover case for iPhones is not new for Apple as it did the same for the previous year’s iPhones as well. What, however, may catch the users’ eye is the dedicated button for clicking images, which is not there in the iPhone 11 models itself. The extra button is placed on the lower right side so if one wants to click an image in the landscape or portrait mode single-handedly, it’s easier. But that’s not the only thing … [Read more...] about Apple launches battery cases for iPhone 11 series with an extra button, here’s what it is for

Apple is a company that has always attempted to maintain a shroud of secrecy when it comes to the iPhone. However, in the last couple of years, tipsters have managed to get their hands on images or specs that give a fair idea of what Apple is planning to launch that particular year. This year too, several tipsters have made claims on the new design elements of the alleged iPhone 11 series. These leaks have portrayed how Apple may incorporate the triple camera design, the colour options it may offer and more. However, now with less than two weeks left for the official launch, famous industry insider Eldar Murtazin has made a statement saying that Apple iPhones “are completely different than in all these [ones that have surfaced so far] pictures.” He also suggested that “there will be a couple more surprises in the design.” Новые iPhone совсем другие … [Read more...] about Tipster claims Apple will ‘shock’ you with Apple iPhone 11 design

The latest in cool virtual reality gadgets is made by a group of friends from Spain, and their VR-meets-social project hit Kickstarter today. It's called Shot and it's a camera adapter and app that promises to make it easy for everyone with an iPhone to create VR content and share it with their friends. The firm designed a camera adapter for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus that lets the user capture 235-degree videos and 360-degree photos. This is accomplished by using two fisheye lenses in the adapter. The app takes one photo with each camera and stitches them together into a high resolution panorama. iPhone camera adapters aren’t something new, but Shot puts emphasis on the social side. The mobile app lets users share their own photos and videos and browse through what other people are making. It's Instagram for VR. Another note is that whatever is made with Shot’s adapter will also be viewable on Google’s Cardboard headset. The Kickstarter rewards include a lens kit … [Read more...] about New Kickstarter will turn your iPhone into a virtual reality camera

The US Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday granted Apple a patent that describes a mounting system for the iPhone that would allow users to attach different lenses over the phone’s camera. The system would use a bayonet attachment mechanism by which the user attaches the lens by twisting it into the receptacle until it locks - similar to methods already in place on traditional interchangeable lens cameras. The Cupertino-based company notes in the filing that bayonet mounts are much more secure than other methods of attachment like magnets, clips or adhesives. This means that the lens would always sit in the correct position and you wouldn’t have to worry about losing it. Despite the benefits of such a system, I’d personally be surprised if we ever saw this show up on an Apple product. For one, it would add a bit of girth to whatever platform it was installed on and second, I’m not sure how popular aftermarket lenses are in the first place. Then again, … [Read more...] about Apple granted patent for interchangeable iPhone camera lenses mounting system
