Apple could still release an iPhone Mini this year
A few days back we reported that the Apple iPhone 12 mini accounted for just a mere 6% of iPhone 12 sales. As such, while Apple would continue to sell the handset they stopped production of the Mini handset. This threw into doubt if Apple would launch a mini version of the iPhone 13 later this year.

Apple’s 2021 iPhone could bring Touch ID back
FaceID was working pretty well on Apple’s iPhones and despite the notch on the front of the handsets, many had come to prefer the unlocking technology over the older Touch ID method. 2020 threw a spanner in the works though.

For many though this was ... Continue Reading →
