iOS, particularly on iPhones, may be one of if not the most popular mobile OS in the market, but that doesn’t mean all of its fans are completely satisfied with how things are. Some advanced users still feel stifled by Apple’s control but not enough to switch sides. For them, jailbreaking their iPhone is the only option but that has … Continue reading

A couple of months ago, it was reported that Instagram was testing out a new feature that would tell users how long they’ve spent on the app. Now it looks like Facebook is planning on introducing something similar as well, thanks to the eagle-eyed Jane Manchun Wong who shared her discovery on Twitter.
The feature isn’t live yet but there are signs to suggest that it is in the works. As you can see in screenshots shared by Wong, the feature will basically tell users how long they’ve spent on the app, and users will also be able to set notifications to let them know when they have exceeded the set time they’ve spent on Facebook.
Facebook is working on “Your Time on Facebook” which could help users to manage their time spent on Facebook app.

While we imagine that companies like Facebook want users to spend all day on its platform as it is essentially eyeballs for more advertisers, there has been a growing call for tech companies to make their services and products less addictive. Google is introducing a similar feature to Android P and so is Apple who also announced a similar feature in iOS 12.
Now these features and reminders are just that, reminders. If you want to ignore the notifications and warnings or disable them completely, it’s up to you, but for those who think that they need the extra push to get off Instagram or Facebook, this feature looks like it could come in handy.

A popular rumor of this year’s iPhones is that Apple will continue churning out LCD iPhones. It is said that there will be at least one LCD model which will come in the form of a 6.1-inch iPhone and now thanks to the folks at BGR, a render of a case for the rumored 6.1-inch iPhone model has made its way online.
Now in terms of cases and accessories, sometimes companies like to speculate and create products based on what they’ve heard. This is because if they can get to the market first, they’ll be able to capitalize on all the iPhone customers who need protection on the first day, so it’s hard to tell if this render is accurate, based on insider information, or just pure speculation.
However it does seem to be somewhat accurate in the sense that it is in line with what the rumors have been saying. The 6.1-inch iPhone is said to be a more affordable version in which it will omit the use of OLED, drop 3D Touch, and is also rumored to keep a single camera setup versus the dual camera setup found in previous iPhone models.
The renders are also suggesting that the iPhone will be maintaining its edge-to-edge display and is also dropping the Home button, meaning that this year’s iPhones could exclusively use Face ID. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but we expect that we will have more details in the next few months.

Without a doubt many iPhone users were miffed when back in 2016, Apple decided to ditch the headphone jack. However it seems last year, Apple almost ditched another port, a rather crucial one in fact. In a report from Bloomberg, it revealed that at one point Apple considered not including a charging port for the iPhone X.
According to Bloomberg, “Apple designers eventually hope to remove most of the external ports and buttons on the iPhone, including the charger, according to people familiar with the company’s work. During the development of the iPhone X, Apple weighed removing the wired charging system entirely.”
However it seems that due to wireless charging still being slower compared to wired charging, Apple decided against it. This is actually rather interesting when you consider that there are rumors suggesting that Apple could replace the Lightning port with USB-C. Apple has been making the transition to USB-C with its MacBook laptops, so for the iPhone to eventually make the transition doesn’t seem entirely out of the question.
No word on whether or not ditching the charging port completely is still part of Apple’s plan, but in the meantime Apple’s own wireless charging accessory, the AirPower, has yet to launch and last we heard it could be launching no earlier than September.

Samsung loves doing things its own way and creating an ecosystem that would liken it to Apple. As such, it is hardly one you’d expect to toe the line when it comes to Google’s Android standards. But if Xiaomi, China’s Samsung/Apple, miraculous pulled of the Android One Mi A1 phone, then surely there’s hope for Samsung, right? That does seem … Continue reading
