iPhone 8 Details and Event Rumors, iOS 11 Tidbits, New Intel Chips, Samsung's Note 8 - MacRumors

Brought to you by: iPhone 8 Event Date Rumored for September 12, With Device Launching September 22 With September quickly approaching, we should soon be hearing about a date for Apple's iPhone media event, and a new rumor claims Apple is targeting Tuesday, September 12 for the event with a launch for the new iPhones following on September 22. The dates make sense, but it's hard to say whether they're based on actual information or simply reasonable guesses at this point. Other iPhone 8 rumors this week included a claim of 64/256/512 GB storage options and a number of photo leaks including the A11 chip, display assembly and other components, and a 3D sensing camera. We also went hands-on with some new iPhone 8 cases and a dummy model, yielding a good idea of how the new phone and accessories may look together. Finally, while the all-new iPhone 8 will undoubtedly be the star of the show, Apple is expected to also introduce new "iPhone 7s" models next month. We've just seen a solid photo leak of the bare logic board for the iPhone 7s Plus, which looks very similar to the same part from the iPhone 7 Plus but which matches the pin layout of the leaked A11 chip and appears to confirm the presence of an Intel LTE modem.   Read Full Article Sponsored Stories The World's First Smart Photo App Made for Smart People Every photo lover deserves great looking photos, and Photolemur was made for smart photographers, like you.

A few new tidbits have recently come to light, including the discovery that the SOS feature will allow you to temporarily disable Touch ID, a tweak to Safari that will strip off Google's Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) cruft when sharing links, and a fix that will prevent an iPhone 7 passcode-guessing hardware box from working. Some early prototype Control Center and App Switcher videos were also discovered in iOS 11 betas, but it's unclear if these ideas were discarded or if they'll end up being specific to the iPhone 8. Apple is continuing its rapid seeding of new betas to developers and public beta testers, pushing out the seventh developer betas of iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, tvOS 11, and watchOS 4, along with corresponding sixth public betas of all but watchOS.   Read Full Article Intel Launches First Eighth-Generation Core Processors, Paving Way For Quad-Core 13-Inch MacBook Pro Intel is continuing to push forward with its next-generation chip announcements, this week unveiling new eighth-generation Core chips that will be coming to notebooks later this year. The new U-series chips are all quad-core designs, and if Apple deems the graphics powerful enough they could come to the 13-inch MacBook Pro and perhaps the MacBook Air and Mac mini should Apple choose to update those machines. This is just the first wave of eighth-generation Core chips to be announced, with additional low-power "Cannon Lake" and higher-power "Coffee Lake" chips yet to come.   Read Full Article Samsung Reveals Galaxy Note 8 With Dual Rear Cameras and 6.3-Inch AMOLED 'Infinity Display' Samsung this week unveiled its Galaxy Note 8 smartphone, which includes a nearly full-front 6.3-inch display, an S Pen stylus, and dual rear cameras. The Note 8 borrows a few features such as a "Live Focus" portrait mode from the iPhone but also offers a preview of some of what we're expecting to see in the iPhone 8 with the large display. Keep an eye out for our hands-on video comparing the Note 8 to iPhone 8 rumors later today. In addition to the Note 8, Samsung has also confirmed it is working on a smart speaker that will compete against an increasingly crowded field. Apple will be joining the market in December with its HomePod, previewed at WWDC back in June.   Read Full Article AccuWeather for iOS Sent Location Data to Monetization Company Even When Location Sharing Was Off Popular iOS weather forecasting app AccuWeather found itself in some hot water this week after it was discovered that the app was sending users' location information to monetization company Reveal Mobile, even when the users denied explicit permission for the app to access location information. In the absence of this permission, Reveal Mobile's tools built into the AccuWeather app wouldn't collect your GPS location but would still collect your Wi-Fi router name and BSSID, which can frequently be used to find your location fairly accurately. After AccuWeather and Reveal Mobile initially released a joint statement attempting to explain "misinterpretation" of the SDK tools, AccuWeather yesterday updated its app to completely remove the Reveal Mobile SDK.   Read Full Article
