ALL ABOUT APPLE IPHONE MACBOOK IPAD AND GADGETS

Reports have emerged of the iPhone 8 Plus's screen splitting away from the body of the device Apple is investigating reports of iPhone 8 Plus handsets bursting open while charging, suggesting a possible battery issue. Two iPhone 8 Plus owners - one in Taiwan and one in Japan - have shared pictures their devices onsocial media, showing the screen splitting away from the body of the phone. The Taiwanese customer told Chinese media sites her iPhone burst open despite being charged with an official Apple power adapter. The handset has been returned to Apple for investigation. Apple confirmed to Mirror Online that it is aware of the issue and is looking into it. It is not yet clear what caused the damage, but there is no evidence of overheating. Rather, it appears that the batteries may have swelled due to the gases inside. The  iPhone 8 and 8 Plus  went on sale on 22 September, featuring a new glass and aluminium design, an A11 "Bionic" ch...

he iPhone 8 Plus might have some fancy camera tricks up its sleeve, but is it really worth buying its bulky frame ahead of its sleeker rivals or the potential of the  iPhone X ? Like its smaller non-Plus sibling, the design of the  iPhone 8  Plus has barely changed since it was introduced in 2014 with the iPhone 6 Plus, but it has aged worse. The iPhone 6 Plus was thin but relatively wide and tall for a smartphone with a 5.5in screen in 2014, with big bezels and a chunky top and bottom.

Photograph: Samuel Gibbs for the Guardian Four years on the design of the iPhone 8 Plus makes it look incredibly dated, like a cheap  iPhone  knock off. It’s a feeling that’s accentuated by the new pinky gold colour, which reminds me of my grandma’s hideous bathroom suite – the kind you have to replace just to sell a house. At l...

Apple tends to be notoriously quiet about the internal specs of its phones, particularly when it comes to things like battery size or RAM. But Tenaa — China’s telecommunication authority, similar to the FCC in the US — has confirmed that the iPhone X will come with 3GB of RAM and a 2,716mAh battery, as reported by  Steve Hemmerstoffer (also known as OnLeaks) on Twitter . The 3GB of RAM isn’t too notable — it’s the same as found in the iPhone 8 Plus and less than  almost every other major Android flagship  (which tend to start at 4GB of RAM or more). If performance is anything like Apple’s existing phones, it’s probably nothing to worry about.

One of the main benefits people gain from being able to jailbreak their iOS devices is the ability to hack and make adjustments to various apps. This might mean adding or removing features, cheating in a game, or even playing console games on the device with an emulator. However, it is not just jailbroken users who can have access to these features. It is possible to install modified versions of certain apps on your device without the need for a jailbreak. There are many different websites which allow users to download these apps on their devices. One that has recently appeared online is AppValley. It is essentially a small app store for hacked games and modified applications, similar to something like TutuHelper. Using AppValley, you can install various popular modified applications such as Spotify++, Movie Box, Snapchat++, Pokemon Go++, and many more. Requirements & Notes: This does not require a jailbroken device. This does not require a computer. If you...

Alongside Samsung, LG was one of the first major manufacturers to jump on the “bezel-less” bandwagon. Barring some minor niggles about audio quality and storage space, we loved the LG G6 (check out our full impressions in our  LG G6 review ), so we’re understandably excited about the impending U.S. release of the LG V30 . There are plenty of reasons why we’re excited — the V30 is bringing improved audio, a stunning 6-inch bezel-less OLED screen, and the raw power of the Snapdragon 835. But it’s not just Samsung and LG in the  bezel-less game  now. Other companies are starting to catch on, and bezel-less concepts are popping up left, right, and center. Apple recently threw its hat into the ring with the  iPhone X  — its vision of a bezel-free future. With Apple’s newest and most powerful A11 Bionic processor, a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED screen, and all the usual iOS polish, the iPhone X is a serious contender looking to rule the roost for the Cupertino, Cali...
