That s why our tips for saving your iPhone’s battery power focus not on turning off these essential features, but on using them more efficiently. Here are ways to make your iPhone battery last longer. In iOS , head to Settings > Battery and scroll down to see a list of which apps are using what proportion of the battery power. If there are any battery-draining apps that you re not using, delete them. If you discover that the apps that suck the most battery don t need updates when you re not using them, head to Settings > General > Background App Refresh to manually toggle each app s auto-refresh. This prevents apps from constantly checking for updates or notifications to push to your phone. Even if an app doesn t appear on the list of apps […]

Certain iPhone and iPhone Plus owners, as well as some iPad users, have complained about random crashes and reboots on smartphones that have GB or GB of storage and hold large libraries of apps. Various reports trying to explain the problem have identified the type of NAND memory chosen for these iPhone models as the main culprit, with some suggesting that Apple is already considering moving from triple cell TLC NAND memory to multi-level cell MLC storage in future iPhone versions. Apple has not confirmed those reports, and has not explained why GB iPhone and GB iPhone Plus devices seem to crash in certain circumstances. But a new report from Korean publication KBench shows benchmark tests for both TLC and MLC NAND memory modules used in GB iPhone units, and they reveal that the latter offers a better performance than the former. Previous reports have said that Apple may have chosen TLC NAND because it’s more affordable than MLC. The company this year significantly increased storage options for new iPhone purchases, making the GB versions cheaper than in previous years, and introducing a GB option. The same reports also said that TLC NAND is slower than MLC and SLC single-level cell, even though it can store more data per […]

Face ID is the most sophisticated biometrics authentication method available on smartphones and tablets. Introduced with the iPhone X in , Face ID is available on all iPhone and iPad flagships. That means it’s on every iPhone except for the SE, and all the iPad Pros. Only a few of Apple’s rivals attempted to replicate the D face recognition system contained within the iPhone’s notch design. Huawei, LG, and Google are among those who tried to release real Face ID alternatives. Everyone else pursued in-display fingerprint sensors since , while Apple kept working on Face ID.   In addition to improving the accuracy and speed of Face ID authentication, Apple is also working to make the TrueDepth camera smaller. Eventually, it will be placed beneath the OLED screen. But a recent discovery shows that Apple is already developing a brilliant iPhone and iPad Face ID feature that most users will come to appreciate. Passively, permanently authenticating the user plays a crucial role in the new tech.   The USPTO recently published an Apple patent application filed in early May . Found by Patently Apple, the document is titled Systems and Methods for Switching Vision Correction Graphical Outputs on a Display […]
