iPhone 16 release date is LEAKED online - and it suggests there's not long to wait to see Apple's next flagship

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Apple fans might not have to wait much longer to see the company's new flagship smartphone, the iPhone 16. The California tech giant will unveil the latest generation of iPhones at an in-person event on September 10, according to an alleged online leak. A serial Apple leaker known as Majin Bu shared a screenshot on X, formerly Twitter, which claims to shown the invite to Apple's September special event. The colour of the Apple logo in the invitation also nods to the possibility that fans might be getting a new'bronze' colour for the titanium smartphone. However, social media commenters have been sceptical of the leak's authenticity and even Majin Bu himself says: 'I have no way of verifying that this information is real, but it all seems very plausible considering the latest news.'


Social media mocks Apple as it scraps its autonomous electric car plans after a decade of work - as one user jokes 'they realised it would require Windows!'

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Despite spending billions of dollars on the project in the past 10 years, Apple has scrapped efforts to build its own self-driving electric car. Social media users have been mercilessly mocking the tech giant, which is reportedly set to fire employees who worked on the ambitious scheme. Taking to X, one joked that Apple cancelled the car'after realizing it would require windows', in a nod to the software from rival tech firm Microsoft. Another user said that the'charging solution proved a bit inconvenient' with a shot of an upside-down car with a charger plugged into it. Yet another posted an image of the'original Apple car' โ€“ driven by Lowly Worm the fictional earthworm from the classic 1960s children's books.


The strange reason why Apple's logo has a bite taken out of it, revealed

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Ever wondered why the Apple logo has a bite taken out of it? Plenty of theories have emerged about how the iconic logo came to be, with some suggesting it was a nod to Sir Isaac Newton, who famously formulated gravitational theory when an apple fell on his head. Others think it could be linked to British mathematician Alan Turing who cracked the German enigma code during World War II. The codebreaker was convicted for having a homosexual relationship, and was later found dead from cyanide poisoning, with his body famously laying next to a half eaten apple. MailOnline reveals the true reason behind the now-famous logo - and it's much simpler than you probably think.


Apple scales back ambitious autonomous car debut: report

FOX News

Dean Cheng, senior fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, joined'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the report and a former Wuhan scientist claiming COVID was manmade. Apple has reportedly scaled back the debut of its self-driving electric vehicle, delaying the car's targeted launch date to 2026. Citing people with knowledge of the matter, Bloomberg reported Monday that the project -- known as Project Titan -- has been in limbo for the past several months. Apple is now planning a "less-ambitious design," the sources told the outlet, that will include a steering wheel and pedals and only support full autonomous capabilities on highways. In addition, Bloomberg said that the tech giant plans to develop a vehicle that lets drivers conduct other tasks on a freeway, and be alerted with time to switch over to manual control if they reach city streets or encounter inclement weather.

Apple Car could be windowless, patent suggests

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Apple's long-awaited Apple Car could have virtual displays on the inside instead of clear windows, according to a new patent. The tech giant has filed a patent for a virtual reality (VR) vehicle system that matches up'virtual views' with the physical motion of a car as it's travelling. For example, if the car was careering down a hill, the system could project a virtual image of a rollercoaster ride. Chairs in the car would move about to match the visuals, the patent suggests, much like an immersive '4DX' cinema experience. But it would mean passing views of the real world โ€“ such as a beautiful medieval cathedral or stunning coastal hills โ€“ would be entirely replaced with virtual graphics.


Apple Car concept has a 360-degree pod that swivels around

Daily Mail - Science & tech

An engineer has created concept images of what the upcoming Apple Car could look like when it is finally released. Artistic renderings have been created by Devanga Borah, a mechanical engineer at Tezpur University in India, of an autonomous and fully electric vehicle. Like something out of a dystopian sci-fi film, the renderings depict a bizarre white car consisting of a spherical pod that swivels around 360-degrees on four wheels. The pod has a circular entrance that flings open like a couple of saloon doors to reveal'a cocoon-like cockpit' with two seats. Reminiscent of Apple's eMac computer from 2002, the vehicle is painted in glossy white and features the Apple logo between the front and back sets of wheels.


Apple leak shows Touch ID on the back of the iPhone 8

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A new image claiming to be'a late stage iPhone 8 prototype' could put an end to an ongoing debate - where will the Touch ID be located in order to make room for an edge-to-edge screen? The sleek, black handset appears to show the sensor positioned on the back, just below the Apple logo and about the third of the way down the phone. If the report is true, then the new setup could be part of Apple's plan to add facial recognition technology to the device.
