Rumors that Apple is planning three new iPhones — the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 7 Pro — seem to have come and gone this year with the Pro model no longer expected, but Nikkei Asian Review reports that the three-tier lineup may actually be in the cards for next year. Citing an anonymous source, the report claims Apple’s rumored curved OLED iPhone expected to be released in 2018 could be a pricier model than the current 5....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGqqrrvctHo&feature=youtu.be] A Canadian TV advertisement for iCloud on the iPhone, titled “Melody,” surfaced recently. The 30-second video starts with a shot of Jonah Lehrer’s “Imagine: How Creativity Works” front cover (Whoops!). Lehrer acknowledged last month that he fabricated quotes attributed to Bob Dylan, and publisher Houghton Mifflin immediately recalled and stopped sales of the popular book’s electronic and physical versions. The remainder of Apple’s ad highlights iCloud in conjunction with iTunes, iTunes U, Camera, SMS, and more....

It’s no secret that Apple goes the extra mile in terms of device quality, and the display is arguably the most important parts of any device. Now, Apple has won an award for both its iPhone X and iPad Pro displays. Today, Display Week is giving Apple’s iPhone X and the second-generation iPad Pros the 2018 Display Industry Award, for having true innovations such as an adaptive 120Hz display that can automatically detect the content and refresh the screen from anywhere between 24Hz to 120Hz, and for having system-wide color management....

The second quarter of the year is always the slowest one for iPhone sales, as consumers hold off for the new models announced in September, but that didn’t stop the iPhone from topping US smartphone sales … Counterpoint Research includes the snippet in a new report today. The report is focused on performance of the online sales channel, so doesn’t go into more detail than that on brand comparisons, looking instead at retailer websites....

The world’s favorite member of the Avengers is known for his inventiveness and creativity, and nowhere are these traits more evident than in the Iron Man armor itself. Since he famously first assembled the bulky grey armor in a cave…with a box of scraps, Tony Stark has never stopped tinkering with the design, modifying it with one unique idea after another. It’s always exciting when Tony brings out a new armor, and every Iron Man writer, artist, and director has relished the chance to lend their own little touch to the classic design....

What exactly is HBO’s upcoming Watchmen series and what relationship does it have to the rest of the franchise? Watchmen was originally a 1980s DC graphic novel created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, offering a revolutionary take on the superhero format with morally gray heroes and villains, a mature, unforgiving tone and a bleak, dystopian-style plot with plenty of political subtext. Often considered impossible to adapt into live-action, Zack Snyder’s Watchmen hit theaters in 2009 to a mostly positive, but still incredibly divisive, reception....

Last night’s Supergirl (Season 2 - Episode 15: ‘Exodus’) is likely to end up categorized as a seasonal highpoint for fans - a fast-paced, action-heavy episode after several more grounded installments that moved the needle on multiple story threads (is this the end of CatCo and Kara?), brought CADMUS’ big scheme into focus, introduced the next two big villains and gave “SuperCorp” shippers a live-action version of the carry-shot they’ve been doodling fanart for all season....

A new survey by IHS iSuppli has confirmed that Apple was the best-performing smartphone vendor in the first quarter of this year, while Nokia and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion posted double-digit decline each. The entire smartphone market contracted 1.5 percent in terms of units shipped, the first sequential decrease since the beginning of 2009. It wasn’t unexpected due to the supply woes and the preceding holiday quarter being traditionally the most lucrative period for consumer tech....

For most of us, it’s the hub where all of our iOS device management happens, so it’s important that it’s clean and functional. I have a suspicion that Apple always knew that. Perhaps they just didn’t know how to do it cleanly, or without completely distracting the user with a huge visual overhaul, which can also work against them. iTunes has been so completely revamped, that the first screen is meant to introduce you to the new interface....

The James Bond film franchise has been going strong since 1962. It has seen some dark periods where the films’ quality dipped and its future was uncertain, but it always comes back stronger than ever. 2015’s Spectre left the character in an interesting spot, and fans are clamoring to see where he goes in the upcoming No Time to Die. Fan interest is further piqued by the real possibility of it being Daniel Craig’s last turn as the secret agent....

Jet Kave Adventure is a fun platformer that wears its inspirations on its sleeve and ends just as it feels like it’s starting to warm up. Jet Kave Adventure is a 2.5D platformer from Polish indie dev 7Levels that’s heavily inspired by the Donkey Kong Country series. The game offers an enjoyable platforming experience that will please fans of retro Nintendo titles and are seeking a short return to a familiar style of game....

Apple is typically pretty tight lipped about product and user stats and data unless it has a giant number it wants to share. We’re told number of iPhones sold on opening weekend and total billions of dollars paid out to developers in total, but we don’t know how many Apple Watches have been sold or which iPads are most popular. But analyst Kirk Burgess points out on Twitter that Apple’s Game Center app openly boasts how many users it has with a giant number hidden in plain sight....

iPad 2 line in Gothenburg, Sweden. Thanks, Emil! Long lines abound as Apple’s iPad 2 went on sale today in 25 overseas markets. Not all queues stretch around city blocks but many do, like the line outside Apple’s flagship store in London’s Covent Garden. There’s even a blog dedicated to iPad 2 queues in UK. Media reports describe the excitement and buzz factor – even with traditionally more reserved Europeans. Malls and plazas with Apple Store lines look the same the world over....

More information on the iPhone 5 has just come out. It will be interesting to see how much of it actually does get confirmed. But until it does, we’re all trying to keep up with it. The Guardian is the latest news outlet to get its hands on some pieces of info, quoting “sources”. According to the newspaper, the new iPhone 5 will be using the all-new nano-SIM, a format which manufacturers have agreed upon a month ago....

Although the iPhone 8 is apparently entering production verification testing this month, the rumor mill continues to disagree about several details of Apple’s upcoming radically-redesigned phone. In this latest alleged schematics photo via Sneakleaks, an iPhone chassis is shown with a Touch ID fingerprint cutout below the Apple logo on the back of the device. This idea was last seen in an April leak. However, the rumors have not come to consensus and there are still many contradictory reports about the fate of the iPhone 8 Touch ID …...

Battery life is always a concern for those updating to new versions of iOS. With that in mind, today we get a detailed comparison of battery life across the most recent versions of iOS including iOS 8.0.2, 8.2 Beta 2, and 8.3 Beta 2. A reader sent in the video below using a brand new out of the box 16GB iPhone 5 and Geekbench to record the results. While the results are a close call, the latest iOS 8....

The age of future motoring is scurrying fast toward us, and it looks like the iPhone could be coming along for the ride, at least according to Mercedes and BMW, who showcased a pair of eScooters at the Paris motorshow this week, both of which use the iPhone as the sole driver interface. That’s right, plug your iPhone in and you’ll see a read out of all the info you need pop-up on its screen....

Apple typically launches new iPhones with carrier SIM cards pre-installed and doesn’t offer a SIM-free version on launch. Today we’re seeing the iPhone XR SIM-free models show up both on Apple’s website and in its stores in the US. Stateside, Apple offers customers the option to buy iPhone models for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile at launch. While customers can purchase the latest iPhones full price and use them on most networks, it’s a bit tricky as each model may not have the same LTE bands and carrier compatibility, especially if you’ll be using it globally....

Even more, the smartphone is available in three colors, Moonlight White, Midnight Black, and Mint Green....

ISIS acquired great popularity last year. The group stems from a clash inside al-Qaeda, during the civil war in Syria when the group fought against another Jihadist group named Jabhat to Nusra Front, which was very active against Bashar Assad. In 2014, the relationship with al-Qaeda was interrupted because of the contrast with al-Nusra Front, which is supported by the al-Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri. In June 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS aka ISIL) and aligned forces started an offensive in the northern area of Iraq against government forces....
