Buyers were slow to buy when the latest line of iPhones first launched. But new market research shows today’s shopper is more likely to slap down a credit card for a new model than the previous cycle.
The findings from the group M Science are in line with figures showing the popularity of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
Apple’s upcoming AirPods case will offer more than just wireless charging for your headphones, according to a sketchy new report.
A source familiar with Apple’s plans claims the case will double as an iPhone charger that will give you a boost in battery life when you’re in a pinch. The device could be available before the end of this year.
Apple’s flagship handset has passed its peak popularity. That’s not surprising, given that the iPhone X hit the market more than six months ago. Still, it once could boast of being the world’s best-selling smartphone.
The Galaxy S9+ took its place at the head of the pack. Samsung’s top-of-the-line model debuted early this spring.
Apple rolled out iOS 11.4 in late May, finally delivering AirPlay 2 and stereo support for HomePod. If you haven’t already updated, you might want to avoid it for now.
Some iPhone users are reporting battery life problems after installing Apple’s latest release. It seems the issue affects everything from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone X.
iPhone X and iPhone 8 owners that still haven’t tried wireless charging just got two great reasons from Belkin to take the plunge.
Belkin’s BoostUp wireless charger and wireless charging stand that debuted earlier this year at CES are finally available to purchase at a store near you.
iPhone owners, get ready to ditch your dongles.
Belkin revealed today that it’s finally making an audio cable to will allow iPhone users to plug into 3.5mm stereo jacks without using a Lightning adapter.
Apple debuted a new ad today that showcases the incredible powers of Portrait Mode on the iPhone X.
The fun new ad is similar in style to some of the wild Face ID ads Apple put out earlier this year and highlights how having an iPhone X is like literally carrying an entire array of studio lights in your pocket.

Apple might be planning to make it even more difficult to use your old 3.5mm headphones if you buy a new iPhone this year.
New iPhones have included a Lightning port adapter for headphones ever since Apple removed the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. That free dongle is about to go away this year, according to one Apple analyst.
