There’s a bug stopping some iPhone XS and XS Max phones from charging

Some iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max owners are having trouble charging their devices.

Owners across the web are complaining that some of Apple’s latest iPhones are not charging properly when plugged in, MacRumors pointed out Saturday. The problem seems to occur when users plug in their phones while they are in sleep mode and the screens are off.

YouTuber Unbox Therapy was alerted to this problem and performed a test where he plugged in a bunch of iPhone XS and XS Max devices to test whether they charge while asleep, and found that several XS and XS Max phones didn’t start charging until after he woke up the phone. Not only that, one iPhone XS Max was stuck in sleep mode while plugged in and he couldn’t take the phone out of its frozen state until he unplugged it. Read more…

We have our own review of the phones and their photography systems, but teardowns provide the invaluable service of letting you see the biggest changes with your own eyes — augmented, of course, by a high-powered microscope.

The hype surrounding the hotly-anticipated iOS 12 has simmered down a bit, but only because it’s finally been released and people are too busy tinkering with their iPhones to tweet. (We’re guessing.)

Unlike the previous iOS updates, tech critics and casual users are touting iOS 12 as the fastest yet, and get this — even on older phones. Yup, after what seemed like an eternity, it looks to be that the iPhone slowdown fiasco is finally over.

This only means that developers can use this moment as an opportunity to ramp up on app development and take advantage of the enhanced speed and feature upgrades of the new operating system. If you want to get in on the frenzy, these training bundles will help you get familiarized with iOS 12 update so you can start writing your own apps: Read more…

Teardown of iPhone XS reveals new, L-shaped battery

Now that Apple’s iPhone XS and XS Max are available for purchase, they’ve already been dropped, drowned, and of course — torn down. 

The teardown experts at iFixit have disassembled the iPhone XS and its bigger sibling, the iPhone XS Max, in one go. And though the phones’ internals are similar to the guts of last year’s iPhone X, the teardown does reveal a few interesting new details.

Remember that odd, L-shaped, two-part battery from the iPhone X? In the iPhone XS, it’s still L-shaped, but it’s now a single, unbroken part. This didn’t help capacity much, as the iPhone XS’ battery capacity lags behind the iPhone X by a few milliamp-hours (mAh), and the teardown reveals why: The single-part battery has a notch of sorts, which — according to this 2016 Apple patent — serves as a “relief zone” that reduces stress on the battery. In any case, it’s much cooler-looking and will hopefully enable Apple to do even more complex, space-saving battery designs in the future.  Read more…

The iPhone XS is barely out, and someone already dropped it onto concrete

Apple’s iPhone XS and XS Max are finally getting into the hands of the consumers, and what’s the first thing they do? They drop the phones onto concrete, of course.

Well, maybe not all consumers. YouTube channel TechSmartt performed the first drop test of Apple’s new iPhones on Thursday, which is especially interesting given that Apple said the iPhone XS and XS Max have “the most durable glass in the world.”

TechSmartt dropped the new XS and XS Max — as well as last year’s iPhone X — from three (loosely defined) heights: pocket height, head height, and roughly 10 feet. Obviously, this isn’t the most scientific of approaches, but still interesting enough, and quite daring: Can you really expect any phone to escape a 10-foot drop onto concrete unscathed?  Read more…
