A guide on where and how to buy iPhone on iSimu

It's no secret -- breaking or losing an iPhone is a real bummer. They've become cultural icons in their own right, but also might be your third hand. And not having Apple Care or a budget to fix a broken iPhone -- or worse, replace a lost or stolen one -- makes the situation worse. Especially with a new iPhone XR costing $749 or an XS at $999, which aren't the most affordable handsets. But fear not, there are a few options that won't break the bank for replacing a broken iPhone with a used or refurbished model. Used vs. refurbished Whatever your reason for needing a new one, you may wonder what's the difference between used and refurbished. A used iPhone is essentially being sold as is, with restored software experience. It generally falls on the seller to provide images of the device, so you can see if it has any scratches or cosmetic issues. The listing should also say if there's a feature that doesn't work, like a cracked screen or foggy front-...

Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G could use Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+

Samsung's incoming Galaxy Note 20 is set to use Qualcomm's top-end Snapdragon 865+ in the US, while the 5G version of the Galaxy Z Flip will also use the same chipset. That's an upgrade over the standard Snapdragon 865 used in other Samsung handsets so far this year such as the Galaxy S20 Ultra. However, Snapdragon almost certainly won't be used globally - the new handsets will use Samsung's own incoming Exynos 992 in Europe and other areas such as India in line with Samsung's usual protocol. There are some suggestions that the 992 chip could use a new production process, which would make it super-efficient. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2: Release date, features, rumours, and news With recent Samsung phones, the Snapdragon version has been shown to be preferable, offering better battery performance versus the Exynos chip. However, things could flip (sorry) round this time if Exynos 992 is as good as it's being made out to be. One factor is that Samsung has move...

iPhone 12 may come with a 20W USB-C fast charger

Apple looks like it's finally getting properly on board with the idea of giving its iPhone customers better chargers in the box. Last year's iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max shipped with new 18W chargers, but standard iPhone 11 buyers weren't so lucky. Which is the best iPhone? iPhone SE, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, or iPhone 11 Pro? One might already conclude from this that Apple was doing the groundwork before spreading better chargers to the less expensive (but still expensive) phones in its range, and a new leak suggests just that. The photograph, published on Twitter by one Mr·white, shows off a prototype charger encased in clear plastic but looking a lot like the US versions of Apple's power plugs have previously, if arguably slightly chunkier.

It is being reported that Apple has begun working on rising the AirPower from the dead and probably launch it if everything goes right. According to the information published by YouTuber Jon Prosser , Apple engineers working from home are receiving prototype units of a hardware device codenamed C68. refurbished iPhone 11 pro max Apple has reportedly asked its engineers to work on a software communication system between an upcoming product that has Apple A11 chipset inside to “ dynamically manage heat. ”  The company’s smartwatches use a proprietary wireless charging system and they require more energy to charge. When placed on the AirPower alongside other devices, the entire surface would overheat and combust. No wonder Apple canceled the AirPower w...
