Tech News Update 2023: Apple iPhone 15 release date, price, features, and news

12th January, 2023

Apple iPhone 15 release date, price, features, and news

Will iPhone 15 be different?
Apple's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will reportedly have different USB-C ports. Apple will reportedly offer different USB-C ports on its iPhones for next year, making the Pro model, a bit more of an attractive purchase.

Should I upgrade iPhone 15?
The good news is that iOS 16.1 was released back in October 2021, so we would suggest that most users, with compatible iPhones, should now upgrade from iOS 15. If you still weren't sure then the new features in iOS 16.2 might be enough to convince you. This update brings with it a number of enticing features.

Will iPhone 15 have a new design?
Design. Rumors suggest the iPhone 15 models will look similar to the iPhone 14 models, but the pill-and-hole cutout will expand to the entire lineup. That means all iPhone 15 models will have no notch, instead adopting the Dynamic Island introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro models.

Will iPhone 15 have SIM slot?
iPhone 15 will be SIM-free, but it has been revealed that Steve Jobs didn't want the first-ever iPhone to have a SIM. Know why? Though the first iPhone without a physical SIM card slot is expected to be the iPhone 15 Pro model, Steve Jobs, Apple's iconic co-founder, wanted the first iPhone to be SIM-free.

What colors are the iPhone 15?
It has four storage models- 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. Both these iPhones will be available in four gorgeous colours- deep purple, silver, gold, and space black. Pre-orders begin Friday, September 09, with availability beginning Friday, September 16.

What iPhones will not work in 2022?
This means any phones introduced in 2016 or earlier, including the iPhone 6S, iPhone SE and iPhone 7, won't be getting Apple software updates anymore. It's not an unexpected move, given that the company regularly retires software support on older devices.

Is the iPhone 15 5G?
According to a new DigiTimes report, all iPhone 15 models will exclusively feature Qualcomm-designed 5G modems. The news kills off ongoing rumors that Apple may be able to supply the first generation of its own hotly anticipated in-house 5G modem.

Will iPhone 15 be lighter?
In return for that outlay, titanium is 3-4x stronger than stainless steel, and it can match the durability of stainless steel at just 40% of its weight. This would allow the iPhone 15 Ultra to be significantly lighter than the Pro Max models it is expected to replace and just as strong.

The 10 Biggest News Stories Of 2022 (So Far) #iPhoneRepair, #AucklandRepair, #drmobileslimited #dml2023

The 10 Biggest News Stories Of 2022 (So Far)

Many of the biggest news stories this year, including supply chain disruptions, economic uncertainty and the adoption of hybrid work-from-home practices, are repercussions from the COVID-19 global pandemic.

 Turbulent 2022

With summer vacations over and everyone back to work, here's a look at what have been the biggest news stories so far in the IT industry and the channel in 2022.

COVID-19 itself may have faded as a top story. But several of the top news stories this year stem from the ongoing repercussions of the global pandemic and its impact on the economy, the IT industry and the channel.

Continued supply chain disruptions, for example, have been a major challenge for the industry. Shortages of semiconductors, components and finished systems have left IT vendors and solution providers scrambling to meet their customers' needs. And with IT products needed to run on-premises data centers sometimes unavailable for weeks or months, some see the supply chain problem accelerating the adoption of cloud services.

Economic uncertainty is keeping many IT and channel executives awake at night as they watch for any signs of slowing sales or customer pullback. Some IT companies, from giants like Oracle and Avaya to startups, have initiated cost-cutting efforts and laid off employees.

And in a major shift in how businesses operate, the work-from-home and hybrid work practices imposed by the pandemic on millions of workers now appear to be at least semi-permanent. And that means changes – and opportunities – in the IT products and services the channel provides.

Some of this year's biggest news stories involve blockbuster acquisitions that are changing the face of the IT industry and the channel. Some, like AMD's $49 billion buy of Xilinx – the largest acquisition in the history of the semiconductor industry – are done deals. Others, like Broadcom's pending $61 billion deal to buy virtualization giant VMware, are pending.

The ongoing threat of malware, ransomware and other cyberattacks against businesses, government agencies and IT companies remains a major story with managed service providers a frequent target. Changes in Microsoft's channel program and practices and their impact on partners have made headlines this year. And how the IT industry has responded to the war in Ukraine rounds out the top stories.

Here's our look at the top 10 news stories of 2022 (so far), starting with No. 10 and counting down to No. 1. Take a look and see if you agree with our choices.

Happy New Year 2023! Kia ora and Greetings from Dr Mobiles Limited

Happy New Year, everyone!  We thank our customers who have given us a lot of support for year 2022 (actually since Covid19 hits the world back in 2020)

On January 22nd 2023, the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit bounds into action. All Rabbit years are believed to bring happiness and good luck, but this is no ordinary Rabbit year, for 2023 is the year of the Black Water Rabbit - a specially gifted, creative Rabbit that has not been seen since 1963.

Any, we resume business on the 9th January, 2023 after a two weeks of year end break.

Following a very challenging couple of years in 2020 and 2021, many people around the world feel 2022 has been a little better. However, uncertainty about both short- and longer-term futures prevails. Global citizens are struggling to be optimistic about 2023 as most express concern about the state of the economy, the environment and world security.

The Economy in 2023
Overall, there is much more pessimism about the global economy than we saw this time last year. Only 46% on average believe that the global economy will be stronger next year, compared to 61% who did so last year and 54% in 2020. People in Belgium are the most pessimistic about the economy with as few as 27% expecting to see improvements, while those in China and the UAE where 78% and 76% respectively anticipate better times, are the most optimistic.

The reasons for this pessimism are clear. Large majorities expect the cost of living (79% expect prices to rise, 75% expect to see higher inflation rates), levels of unemployment (68%), and interest rates (74%) to increase.

Even more worryingly, nearly half (46%) think it likely that their country will need to be bailed out with emergency funding from the International Monetary Fund, with those in South Africa (78%) and Argentina (70%) being particularly worried about this possibility.

Around half (50%) think it is likely that major stock markets around the world will crash, a significant increase from 2022 where 35% thought they were likely to crash. This year 15% of people think this is very likely to happen.

iOS 16 Launch—Stunning New iPhone Features Arriving Next Month

31st August, 2022:  Auckland, New Zealand

iOS 16 Launch:  Stunning New iPhone Features Arriving Next Month
Apple's iOS 16 is about to launch, along with a bunch of stunning new iPhone security and privacy features. So far, iOS 16 highlights include Passkeys, which Apple is hoping will mark the first step away from using passwords on your iPhone, and a new way to prove you aren't a bot.

Other cool new iPhone features arriving this Fall include Lockdown Mode, Safety Check and the ability to unsend iMessages and emails. Here are all the iOS 16 security and privacy features you need to know about.

iOS 16 fixes the most annoying thing about the internet—CAPATCHAs
Apple is finally fixing the annoying internet CAPATCHA boxes that leave us all fuming as we try to guess how many trucks are in a picture. Announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), the iOS 16 feature will use a Private Access Token to verify you to the website or app. This all happens in iOS 16 via iCloud, which will verify your device and Apple ID in the background so there's no need for the CAPTCHA prompt. I cannot wait.

Passkeys
In iOS 16, Apple is taking the first steps towards getting rid of passwords altogether. Most of the industry agrees that passwords aren't great, and biometric forms of authentication such as Face ID and Touch ID are a perfect alternative partly because they are so easy to use. It's with this in mind that Apple—along with other big tech firms such as Google and Microsoft—is part of the FIDO Alliance.  Part of this initiative, Passkeys are based on the WebAuthn standard and use public key cryptography to secure your accounts. In iOS 16, this will mean you can simply use Face ID and Touch ID to authenticate yourself.

Unsend Messages
This very cool new iOS 16 privacy feature allows you to unsend or recall any iMessages or emails you didn't mean to send. You can use Unsend Messages in iOS 16 via a tool marked Undo Send and the only give away if you've edited the message will be a tiny "edited" showing under the text.

Lockdown Mode
Lockdown Mode is one of the headline features of iOS 16, even though most people won't use it. On the face of it, Lockdown Mode seems pretty cool—additional iPhone security protection from damaging spyware attacks such as Pegasus.

Lockdown Mode in iOS 16 protects iPhones from attack by effectively making them unusable. Using Lockdown Mode, most message attachments are blocked, link previews are disabled and FaceTime calls are blocked if you haven't sent the initial request. This will make it difficult to deliver spyware to someone at risk—such as a journalist or political dissident.

But the thing is, most people aren't at risk from Pegasus, so think of Lockdown Mode as something good to know—and of course, great PR for Apple promoting the iPhone as a robust device.

Security updates in iOS 16
Apple iOS 16 will come with a bunch of security fixes too. It's unclear whether Apple will continue to update iOS 15 with important security updates, but even if it does, you'll have to upgrade to iOS 16 after a couple of months to keep your iPhone secure.
