sonnyt111 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 http://news.yahoo.co...-203505921.html Apple recalls millions of iPhone chargers across 37 countriesBy Zach Epstein 19hours ago . Apple on Friday announced a new program that invites millions of iPhone users across 37 different countries to swap out their iPhone chargers, which may be faulty. According to Apple's website, the company has determined that one of its iPhone charger models can potentially overheat and pose a safety risk. Apple says overheating only occurs in rare cases, but it apparently decided to play it safe and offer users the opportunity to swap affected chargers out for newer models. Of note, chargers that ship with newer iPhone models are not affected by this potential issue. According to Apple, only model A1300 chargers that shipped with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S pose a potential risk. "Apple has voluntarily introduced a program for customers to exchange the Apple 5W European USB Power Adapter which came with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models through September 2012, because in rare cases the adapter may overheat and pose a safety risk," the company said in a statement. More details on the exchange program can be found on Apple's website, which is linked below in our source section.

As great as all the new features look, there are still dozens of iOS 7.1 features you don’t know about. You shouldn’t worry about it too much, though — mobile software packs so many features these days that it’s impossible to figure them all out. While developers (and anyone else willing to pay $100 a year for a developer account) have already gotten their hands on an early version of Apple’s new iOS 8 software, most iPhone and iPad users will have to wait until this fall before they can get install iOS 8 on their devices. In the meantime, perhaps we can help make your iPhone feel new again with these 10 awesome iOS 7.1 features you might not have known about. Number Key ShortcutsFlipping back and forth between the letter keyboard and the number keyboard isn’t exactly taxing, but sometimes it can be a pain when you only need to type a single digit or symbol. To speed things up, tap and hold on the “123” key and then slide your finger to the number or symbol you’re looking for. When you release your finger, the appropriate number or symbol will be inserted and the keyboard will automatically switch back to the letter panel. Built-in LevelDid you know that you iPhone ships with a built-in level? Whether you’re hanging a picture or evening out a table, levels are obviously invaluable. They’re also very hard to come by unless you feel like digging through closets and garages. Try this instead: open your iPhone’s compass app and swipe the screen to the left. Voila! Head Gesture ControlsApple’s accessibility features have always been a cut above other mobile platforms, but did you know that beginning with iOS 7, Apple introduced gesture controls that can be performed with your head? Open the Settings app and go to General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Now tap “Switches” and set the camera as the source. With that, you can set a left head gesture and a right head gesture to each perform specific functions. For example, shaking your head to the left might simulate a home button tap and shaking your head to the right might open the app switcher interface. Shake to UndeleteMost people know that you can shake the iPhone to undo typing or other editing events, but did you know that you can also shake to undelete an email? The next time you accidentally move an important email to the trash in Apple’s Mail app, simply shake your phone. A pop-up menu will appear and you’ll be able to undo the delete with a single tap. Noise CancellationNoise cancellation isn’t just for iPhone 5s owners anymore. With iOS 7.1, Apple made additional noise cancellation features available on earlier iPhone models as well. In the Settings app, just go to General > Accessibility and then tap the toggle next to Phone Noise Cancellation. Tap to ScrollMany users take the tap to scroll shortcut for granted, but you would be shocked to learn how many times we see people angrily and violently scrolling up a long page. People… there is a better way. On just about any scrollable screen on the iPhone, simply tap the status bar at the top of the screen where the time is. Presto! You’re at the top of the page. Bring Buttons BackApple ditched standard buttons in iOS 7 in favor of text-only labels that left many people wondering where tap targets went. With iOS 7.1, you can bring them back. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle “Button Shapes” to on. Now, as you might have guessed, your buttons will have shapes again. Web Address ShortcutsHere’s another one that has been around forever but that countless people don’t know about. When typing a URL into the address bar in Safari — or in any other field that calls for a URL — there is no need to type out top-level domains like “.com” and “.net.” Instead, just tap and hold on the period button and after a moment, and bunch of commonly used options will pop up. Disable Annoying Parallax EffectThe parallax effect Apple introduced with iOS 7 was awesome… for about 2 minutes. Now it’s just annoying. There are some areas of the iOS 7.1 interface where parallax cannot be disabled, but the most annoying areas can be taken care of by adjusting a simple setting. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and then toggle “Reduce Motion” to on. Now, simply go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness and tap on your lock screen wallpaper, then turn“Perspective Zoom” off. Do the same thing on your home screen wallpaper and you’re all set. Improve iOS VisibilityiOS 7.1 has terrific options that help make the screen more visible. These options aren’t just for people with poor vision, either — some of Apple’s visibility options are useful for everyone. Here are some examples: In Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Text, you can increase font sizes across the interface. Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast will make it easier to see UI elements in many areas, and there are three individual options that help you fine-tune this tweak: “Reduce Transparency” will remove transparency effects on the home screen dock, folder backgrounds, Control Center and Notification Center. “Darken Colors” will darken all of the colors on the device’s display. “Reduce White Point” will make whites on the screen less bright.

oscartamaguchiblackface Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Another 33 days before the official launch of the iPhone 6. http://news.yahoo.com/apple-sets-sept-9-iphone-event-report-194147983.html Apple sets Sept 9 iPhone event: reporthttp://l.yimg.com/os/publish-images/news/2013-08-26/d19448d6-6aaa-4359-a768-eadacf5fbca9_afp-gif_new.gif 20 hours agoNew York (AFP) - Apple has scheduled a September 9 event to unveil its long-anticipated large-screen iPhone, the online news site Re/code reported Tuesday. While reports have been swirling in recent weeks about the new handsets, this was the first with a precise date. Apple did not immediately comment. Re/Code said the event would be to announce Apple's next-generation iPhones, with screen sizes stretched to 4.7 and 5.5 inches and with a faster processor. Apple sold some 35 million iPhone in the past quarter, lifted by growth in China, but its share of the smartphone market has been shrinking globally. The research firm Strategy Analytics said the rival Android operating system captured 85 percent of the worldwide market in the second quarter, and is threatening to marginalize rival platforms. Apple's global market share fell to 11.9 percent from 13.4 percent a year ago, according to that survey. Samsung, which has been selling large-screen phones and a wide variety of other handsets, has become the world's largest smartphone maker with a 25 percent market share, according to analysts. Apple typically updates its product cycle in the second half of the year, getting a lift from holiday sales. Last year it unveiled the iPhone 5S and the lower-priced iPhone 5C in September, getting record sales at the launch. Apple is working on a new operating system which allows for mobile payments and includes a health platform. The system iOS8 is expected to be in the new iPhones. But some analysts say Apple needs to come up with a new innovation to keep leadership in the tech sector. Reports say Apple is working on a smartwatch and a new interactive television, but the company has said little about this. Quote Link to comment
