COVID-19 in China may prevent Johnny from getting an iPhone 14 Pro this Christmas
In the USA, the COVID-19 pandemic is pretty much over. You no longer need to wear masks everywhere, and life has largely gone back to normal. In China, however, the virus is still wreaking havoc -- residents of that communist country still face regular lockdowns.
Unfortunately, according to Apple, the ongoing COVID-19 situation in China has negatively impacted the production of both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Sadly, this will lead to delays. While this is bad news for Apple and its shareholders, it is also tragic for those that were hoping to buy one of these phones for the upcoming holiday season. In other words, Little Johnny may not get the phone he wants under the tree this year.
New durability tests show Apple iPhone 14 prone to significant damage when dropped
I recently upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro, and one of the first things I did was to drop it. Not on purpose, or as part of some amazing durability test, but just because I was juggling too many things at once, and the most expensive thing that I was holding (by some way!) was the thing that hit the deck.
Fortunately, it sustained no damage, but not every clumsy iPhone owner will be as lucky.
Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max swap the notch for a 'Dynamic Island'
We knew that it was going to be the iPhone 14 Pro that delivered the lion’s share of new features when it was announced today at Apple’s 'Far Out' event, and the Cupertino-based company certainly didn’t disappoint.
The iPhone 13 Pro didn’t make any massive advances on the iPhone 12 Pro, so Apple needed to up the ante this year, which it did with a raft of new features including Dynamic Island, a cool new way of displaying notifications and activities, an Always-On display, a 48MP camera, and much more.
