Unofficially dubbed “Bendgate” this problem seems to occur when the device is in pockets and other tight areas that apply pressure on the chassis of the iPhone 6 Plus.

Pixelmator for iPhone and iPad has today been updated to version 2.0.2 bringing even more features to the popular image editor for iOS and Mac. This update adds a new kind of brush stroke called Dynamic Touch, which simulates pressure sensitivity by examining the size of the finger input that touches the screen. Larger surface area produces thicker strokes on the canvas. Similarly, using just the tip of a finger results in fine lines in the app....

What can be said about Pokémon that has not been said already? This pillar of pop culture has stormed into the mainstream with most people under the age of 30 knowing what Pokémon is by now. Countless articles, fics, and art have been made over the years, showing our love for this classic series. Now that we have Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee we can relive the original games and see the changes they made to them....

Pokémon Go’s popularity has significantly declined since its summer release. Most updates have been minor, with Niantic hosting in-game events that let players collect more points. While a ‘Nearby’ feature has been highly requested, the current revision that’s now seeing a wider rollout has also been significantly curbed. Initially A/B tested in the San Francisco Bay area, Niantic has “made some changes to the Nearby feature.” Now, it only appears on-screen “if a PokéStop is close to your location....

After first demoing improved augmented reality features for Pokémon GO back at Apple’s developer conference in June, Niantic has officially announced AR+ mode for the hit game. AR+ leverages Apple’s ARKit framework to make Pokémon appear hyper realistic. Because ARKit is an Apple technology only available on its devices, AR+ mode is a Pokémon GO feature exclusive to iPhones and iPads. Here’s how it works: Niantic isn’t just making Pokémon look prettier either....

Continuing its “Life on iPad” campaign, Apple released its new “Your Verse” iPad Air ad yesterday featuring a motivational voiceover of Robin Williams from the film “Dead Poets Society”. While the ad has been largely received well, it has not been without some criticism by many citing its tone and some extreme use cases for the iPad. What do you think? Does the “Your Verse” ad inspire you to do more with the iPad?...

The latest in a long line of will-they/won’t-they reports on Touch ID embedded into the display of the iPhone 8 says yes – but there have been so many conflicting reports, it remains an unknown for now. Conflicting reports have suggested that Touch ID could be moved to the back of the iPhone or even dropped altogether in favor of face-recognition. Some have suggested that Apple could move Touch ID to the power button, but it seems unlikely this would offer sufficient surface area for the type of sophisticated sensor used in existing iPhones …...

During an analysis, it can be really useful to know some common instructions with which malware, and more specifically shellcodes, achieve their goals. As we can imagine, these sets of common instructions could be used first to locate and later to analyze and/or to identify general threats: embedded or injected code. In this article, we’ll focus on the identification and analysis of Metasploit and some custom shellcodes on the basis of parameters and information coming from brief research and personal experience....

PayPal CEO Dan Schulman has dismissed the person-to-person Apple Pay service coming to iOS 11 later this year. He said that it would struggle to compete against PayPal’s own Venmo app … Schulman made the comments in an interview with the Telegraph. He also claimed that Apple is at a disadvantage as it is not a payment processor itself, having to work with other companies. Schulman’s remarks of course fall into the ‘he would say that, wouldn’t he’ category....

Well, we all live in a digital world and one of the digital world’s so-called fastest growing technology is smartphones, right? We can’t even imagine more than half a day without it. They are more than smartphones, who can even replace sometimes computers in their performance and work. Even though, data matters a lot in all these devices. We save our contacts, photos, and even videos in these. But let me ask you a fine question, what if you lost it?...

Photoful, an app for taking, editing, and sharing photos and albums, has been updated with full support for the new features in iOS 7.

Photoful is now a universal that runs natively on all of Apple’s mobile devices. The update also includes several new sharing options, such as Dropbox, Tumblr photosets, and AirDrop....

One of the more popular utility apps for the Mac has always been BetterTouchTool. The utility gained popularity for bringing a variety of new options and power to the Mac’s trackpad and keyboard, and we’ve highlighted it several times in the past. Now, BetterTouchTool is adding supporting the new MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar. We’ve already seen a handful of utilities for using the Touch Bar in ways Apple didn’t intend. Some useful, some not so much....

With the second adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary making its way into theaters, star Jason Clarke opened up about which scene from the film was the scariest to film. With plenty to pick from in what some refer to as King’s scariest novel, Clarke’s idea of “scary” leans closer to an emotionally disturbing experience than a classic supernatural scare. Based on King’s 1983 novel of the same name, Pet Sematary follows a family of four who relocate to a small town in Maine for work....

The factors contributing to lawlessness are complex and difficult to parse, but one issue is strictly logistical. The ocean is big and dangerous and it’s not an easy place to monitor. Two UAV technology companies are joining forces to demonstrate that drones can be part of the solution. SwissDrones, a company that develops, manufactures and operates long-range unmanned helicopter systems for commercial and public safety applications, and CLS, which specializes in satellite-based monitoring and surveillance, recently completed a demonstration in the open ocean utilizing a SwissDrones unmanned helicopter....

The cameras in our smartphones are just getting insanely good.

Today, DxOMark has released its camera review of the Pixel 3, ranking it one of the best single-lens smartphone cameras. With a score of 101, the Pixel 3 camera is easily the highest ranking Pixel to date....

A joint venture between Early Warning Labs and the U.S. Government is working on app they claim will provide 30 seconds warning of an earthquake in California, Oregon and Washington, reports TechCrunch. The company hopes to make money by selling a $100-ish physical warning device it describes as ‘Nest for earthquake warnings,’ but the app will be free. While 30 seconds doesn’t seem like much, founder of EWL, Josh Bashioum says that is enough time to take shelter and save lives....
