Apple Insiders Say Next Generation iPhone May Debut in April

By Dena Cassella January 12, 2010

It looks like Apple might be busting out all of its new gear this spring, first the Apple tablet in in March and the perhaps a next generation iPhone in April. KT, an exclusive South Korean partner for Apple’s iPhone, told The Korean Times it plans to introduce an upgraded 4G version of the device this April. The anonymous sources from KT claims this new 4G iPhone will have an OLED screen, boast better graphics and dual-core processor, and have a video chat function. KT sources also eluded to a new removable battery and a higher resolution camera for the iPhone 4G.

The AppleInsider, says the pieces seem to be falling into place considering its report from last week of Apple purchasing a significant amount of LED camera flash components. The AppleInsider thinks the rumored dual-core support for the iPhone 4G will probably come in the form of the new Cortex-A9 processor design from ARM, which are capable of breaking the 2GHz barrier.

Netflix may bring its gaming service to TVs, with iPhones serving as controllers

The Netflix Games section.

Netflix is working on a feature that will bring its games to smart TVs and allow players to use their iPhone as a controller, reports from Bloomberg and MacRumors' Steve Moser said on Wednesday.

The move would take Netflix’s gaming service beyond only smartphones and tablets, giving subscribers more ways to play. And for iPhone owners, it also eliminates the need to buy a dedicated controller, making it more likely that people would give its games a go.

My iPhone 14 Pro is amazing, but there’s one thing driving me crazy

A black iPhone 14 Pro lying on a table.

About a month ago, I made a big change with my iPhone. After using the behemoth iPhone 14 Pro Max since it launched in October, I stuffed it in my office drawer and switched to the much smaller and more manageable iPhone 14 Pro. Why, you might ask? I already wrote a separate article talking all about it, but it really boiled down to one big issue with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. More specifically, it was too damn big.

After being fed up with its size and weight, I replaced it with the regular iPhone 14 Pro — and it's a change I've been thrilled with. I'm now carrying an iPhone that's possible to use one-handed, slips into a pocket or bag with ease, and doesn't weigh me down throughout the day. But as much as I appreciate the more compact size, going to the smaller iPhone has come with a nagging consequence that's introduced a new annoyance into my day. And it's driving me crazy.

A long-awaited Apple Pay feature is finally on your iPhone

Apple Pay Later

Apple announced Apple Pay Later last year when it revealed iOS 16 at WWDC 2022. The feature is finally rolling out to “randomly selected users” as of today, through a prerelease version of Apple Pay Later in the Wallet app. Those who have access to this prerelease version should have received an email to their Apple ID account, and they will need iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4.

This is a prerelease version of Apple Pay Later, and the full service will be rolling out to eligible iPhone users older than 18 in the U.S. in the “coming months.”
