iPhone shipments in China tumbled 14% in the last quarter, according to new figures published by Canalys.

The more devices we travel with, the greater the chances of running out of power at just the wrong moment. That’s why it’s important to travel with backup battery, so why not get one that charge more than one device?

Tool, the American rock band which was a staple of alternative music in the 1990s and early 2000s, is finally bringing its back catalog to streaming services.
The exact services the album will be available on haven’t been named. However, it seems incredibly likely that Apple Music — one of the most popular streaming services — will be among them.
New images posted to Apple’s website reveal the opening of two new stores in Japan for later this year. The stylized logos are accompanied by text reading “planned for 2019.”
One of the logos uses the colors of Apple’s iconic rainbow logo. The other is a slightly retro-style logo showing the Apple logo as a series of lines with a sun-hued gradient.

Roxsyn is the “world’s first metamorphic guitar synthesizer” for iPad. The app lets you plug in your guitar and, when you play it, synthesizer sounds come out. It also offers a full suite of knobs to tweak and shape the resulting sounds, just like a regular, keyboard-driven synth.
But — and this is important — it’s not just using your guitar as a MIDI controller for a normal synthesizer. Let’s take a look.
Don’t settle for tacky plastic when buying an Apple Watch stand. Choose the HEDock and enjoy cool aluminum instead. It’s super-sturdy, looks terrific, and sports a bargain price tag.

The iPhone’s augmented reality capabilities are about to ramp up to an all-new level, thanks to camera sensors that can tell how far away objects are.
TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told investors in a new research note that Apple is readying cameras with time-of-flight sensors. Adding the new ToF sensors should give the iPhone better computer vision. They could help take better pics, too.

Even if you keep your iPhone in a nice case and regularly polish the screen, it is probably a filthy cesspit of germs, fluff and abrasive dust. Fortunately, if you can be bothered to actually do something about it, cleaning your iPhone is easy and rewarding.
Rewarding in the sense that you’ll be rewarded with a pristine slab of glass and steel, instead of having to finger a filth-bomb every time you take your pocket computer out to use it.

Google’s next flagship smartphone will borrow one of the iPhone’s most popular new features when it launches later this year.
Full details of the upcoming Pixel 4 will be revealed this fall. For now, Google seems pretty content to keep spilling out teasers of the new phone. The company already gave a glimpse of the giant new camera on the back. Today we’re getting a look at the new Face ID copy-cat feature and another big surprise.
Although Apple Stores have certain design elements in common, the company still enjoys finding ways to localize them wherever possible.
That’s exactly what’s set to happen with its new Miami-based Aventura Mall store. According to a new report, the South Florida store will boast Miami-style design elements, such as a Genius Grove with a canopy of 22-foot tall tropical trees.

Adobe’s suite of apps are the industry standard for digital design and photography, and for good reason. They’re chock full of tools and features that allow for a universe of visual possibilities. But that also makes for a ton to learn, so it pays to get some help, which is just what this pair of loaded Photoshop and Lightroom lesson bundles offers:
Earnings are likely to remain flat. Photo illustration: Ste Smith/Cult of Mac
My colleague Buster Hein described tomorrow’s Apple earnings call as the company’s “most boring” earnings report of the year. And it seems like analysts aren’t rushing to disagree with him.
Looking at analyst expectations for Tuesday shows that, overall, people have pretty low expectations. And that’s all part of a “flattening out” of Apple earnings.

The rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro will take a page out of the iPhone X’s playbook. According to a new report, it will slim down its bezels to include a larger LCD display in the “same body” as the current 15-inch MacBook Pro.

5G connectivity will feature in all three iPhone models launching next year, according to a new research note from a trusted analyst.
Apple has reportedly made the feature a priority as an increasing number of Android handsets launch with 5G support. Its $1 billion acquisition of Intel’s modem business has also allowed it to speed up its 5G rollout.
Memes are a core part of online life, providing us with an internationally understood means of visual conversation allowing folks to make light of the absurdity of today’s world with co-opted images taken from popular media.
Which, of course, means that lawmakers want to shut it down. A new bi-partisan bill currently working its way through Congress could do exactly that. It threatens seriously big fines for anyone who shares protected material online.
