Apple enthusiasts, rejoice! The rumor mill surrounding the iPhone 16 series is churning at an ever-increasing pace. A recent leak has shed light on the purported battery capacities for each model, but a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted. Here's a deep dive into the latest buzz around the iPhone 16's battery life and Apple's potential focus on artificial intelligence for its upcoming flagship smartphone lineup. Decoding the Leaks: A Look at Battery Capacities The leaked information, originating from a Weibo-based source with a mixed track record, suggests the following battery capacities for the iPhone 16 series: The iPhone 16 iPhone 16: 3,561 mAh (rumored 6% increase) iPhone 16 Plus: 4,006 mAh (rumored 9% decrease) iPhone 16 Pro: 3,355 mAh (rumored 2.5% increase) iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,676 mAh (rumored 5% increase) The most intriguing detail is the supposed decrease in battery capacity for the iPhone 16 Plus compared to its predecessor. While prioritizing other features over battery size isn't unheard of, it's certainly a surprising development for a phone known for its larger screen and potentially higher power demands. A Smaller Battery in the iPhone 16 Plus? Not So Fast Despite the leak suggesting a smaller battery for the iPhone 16 Plus, there's a silver lining. Other leaks hint at Apple potentially implementing more energy-efficient displays in the iPhone 16 series. Additionally, improvements in chip design and software optimizations could mitigate the impact of the rumored reduced battery capacity. In simpler terms, the iPhone 16 Plus might deliver similar battery life despite packing a slightly smaller battery, thanks to advancements in other areas. A Word on Source Credibility It's crucial to remember that these leaks stem from a Weibo-based source with a history of inconsistent accuracy regarding iPhone leaks. While the information provides a potential glimpse into Apple's plans, treat it with a grain of salt until Apple officially unveils the iPhone 16 series. AI In the Spotlight: What to Expect at WWDC Shifting gears, Apple's focus on artificial intelligence (AI) for the iPhone 16 series is another hot topic. Software upgrades centered around AI are likely to be a major announcement at Apple's upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2024. Historically, Apple has leveraged AI advancements like improved photo editing and video stabilization as key selling points for its annual iPhone releases. Recent news confirms Apple's partnership with Shutterstock, securing licenses for millions of images to enhance its AI training. This multi-million dollar deal reflects a growing trend among tech companies to legally acquire content for AI development. By feeding its AI algorithms with vast amounts of high-quality data, Apple aims to refine and enhance its AI capabilities on future iPhones. Patience is a Virtue: The Official Reveal Awaits While leaks offer a peek into potential features of the iPhone 16 series, the most accurate information will come from Apple itself. The official unveiling is likely to occur in September 2024 during their annual hardware event. That's when we'll get a definitive look at the battery capacities, AI advancements, and the entire feature set of the iPhone 16 lineup. FAQs Q: What are the rumored battery capacities for the iPhone 16 series? A: Leaks suggest a 6% increase for the iPhone 16, a 2.5% increase for the iPhone 16 Pro, a 5% increase for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and a surprising 9% decrease for the iPhone 16 Plus. Q: Should I trust these battery capacity leaks? A: The source of the leaks has a mixed track record, so it's best to wait for Apple's official announcement for confirmation. Q: What role will AI play in the iPhone 16 series? A: AI is expected to be a major focus, with software upgrades potentially leading to improvements in photo editing, video stabilization, and other areas. Q: When will Apple officially unveil the iPhone 16 series? A: The official unveiling is likely to happen in September 2024 during Apple's hardware event.

You ever go into a subreddit, hoping to research a topic you're unfamiliar with, only to realize with horror that most of the posters are men?

I opened up r/samsung in the hopes of finding out more information on how help my mom upgrade her current Samsung S10e phone in the near future, and so many of the comments are rank. Foul, foul vibes. It's clearly a male-dominated subreddit.

Anyway, jump scare!

Apple had their Fall event last Tuesday and introduced the new iPhone 15 and updated AppleWatch. If you didn’t get a chance to watch the 82-minute event, the folks at the Verge did a great 17-minute version. Enjoy. So, is it time to upgrade or wait until a later product cycle? It’s good to remember that there might be another event/product announcement in October for iPads, but that guess is…

政府がアプリストアの独占禁止を法制化する方針だと日本経済新聞が報じている (Nikkei Asia の記事、 MacRumors の記事、 Neowin の記事、 9to5Mac の記事、 Game*Spark の記事)。 政府は既に Apple や Google といったプラットフォーム運営者にアプリストアの開放を義務付ける方針を示しており、意見募集も行っている。今回の報道によれば、政府は 2024 年中に法案を提出する計画で、アプリストアとアプリ内決済のほか、検索やブラウザー、オペレーティングシステムの4つの領域でユーザーを自社エコシステムに縛り付け、ライバルの参入を防ぐ行為をプラットフォーム運営者に禁止する。新法はスマートフォン OS の寡占状態を問題視して法整備を提言していた公正取引委員会が所管し、既存の独占禁止法と同様であれば課徴金額は問題のある活動で得た収入の 6% 前後になるとみられる。詳細は今春公表の見込みとのことだ。

A Chinese state-backed institute has found a way to identify who sent any material to another person via Apple’s AirDrop, according to Beijing's government. The institution is said to have cracked the feature to find the email addresses and phone numbers of those who send AirDrop messages as part of an effort to stamp out "undesirable content," as Bloomberg reports.

Police have used the AirDrop crack to identify several suspects. However, Beijing's judicial bureau has not said whether there were any arrests as a result. The approach “improves the efficiency and accuracy of case-solving and prevents the spread of inappropriate remarks as well as potential bad influences,” according to the bureau.

Those with a Mac, iPhone or iPad can use AirDrop to easily send the likes of photos, videos, documents, contacts and passwords to another nearby Apple device. Protesters used AirDrop to share pro-democracy slogans during the demonstrations in Hong Kong in 2019. As MacRumors notes, Apple touts AirDrop as being secure since it employs Transport Layer Security encryption. But the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice claims an institute has found a way around the encryption.
