iPhone Makes It Easy To Find Your Car In The Parking Lot, Here's How To Pair Your iPhone With Your Car

The Apple Map app has a built-in feature that helps you to quickly locate your vehicle where it is parked.

Specifically when you disconnect your iPhone from your car's CarPlay or Bluetooth - a marker will be included in Apple Maps.

Before that, however, there are some things you need to do to be able to track and find your car wherever it is parked.

How To Find Your Car Using Your iPhone:

Step 1: Pair iPhone with your car:

First, your car needs to have Bluetooth or the CarPlay app, then you have to pair your iPhone with it.

Step 2: Enable "Location Services":

In order for Apple Maps to remember where you last parked your car, you need to make sure that Location Services is turned on in Settings on your iPhone.

Go to Settings => Privacy & Security and make sure Location Services is turned on.

Step 3: Turn on "Significant Locations":

Significant Locations is usually enabled by default. However, you can check on iPhone by opening Settings => Privacy & Security => Location Services => System Services => Significant Locations.

Step 4: Turn on "Show Parked Location":

Show Parked Location in Apple Maps can be turned on by opening Settings => Maps and activating Show Parked Location.

Step 5: Use Apple Maps to find a car:

To make sure you'll find your car, you need to make sure your iPhone is connected to your vehicle while you're driving, and when you park, you'll receive a notification from Apple telling you where the car is parked and when you open Apple Maps., you can see an icon to see where your vehicle is.

You should also note that some problems can still occur that cause the parking location search to be inaccurate. Specifically if you frequently park your car in the same spot - Apple Maps won't re-mark that location.

In addition, the above feature may not work well in rural areas, multi-storey car parks.

Apple Introduces a Feature that will only be Available on “iPhone 15 Pro Series,” leaving the “iPhone 15 and 15 Plus” out of the Box

Recently, according to some information sources, Apple will only equip 120Hz ProMotion screen technology for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 will not be equipped with the above screen technology.

This move is not surprising, because earlier in the iPhone 14 generation, Apple also did the same thing. The company only equips ProMotion 120Hz screen technology on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

ProMotion screen technology was first introduced on the iPad Pro model in 2017 and is equipped by Apple with the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

ProMotion technology makes the screen more responsive and smoothest motion. Especially if using iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, extremely high response speed of only 0.02 seconds, improving display speed and automatically adjusting color and refresh rate to save battery life.

iPhone 15 And 15 Plus With The Dynamic Island But Will Be Limited To Two Displays

Through the leaks and rumors of the past few weeks, we have already ascertained that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will receive the dynamic island. However, two other features related to the display will continue to be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models.

Apparently, in fact, only the Pros will maintain an LPTO type display and therefore, the always-on function and ProMotion technology will only be available on the two more expensive models.

This will allow Apple to attract new users thanks to the introduction of the dynamic island on standard models but, at the same time, it will allow it to continue to differentiate the two categories of smartphones.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models use a low-power display backlight that supports refresh rates ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz.

The refresh rate of the display adapts to what is happening on the screen, with lower frequencies used for static content and higher frequencies reserved for games and videos, for a smoother and more responsive experience.

However, all iPhone 15 models will feature a more energy-efficient OLED display driver chip manufactured on the basis of a 28nm process, compared to 40nm in current models. The main benefit of the 28nm chip would be lower power consumption, which could help extend battery life on the iPhone 15 models.

Apple iPhone 15 Side View Leaked, Black Matte Body

Twitter user @lipilipsi shared a real picture of the side of the fuselage of the suspected iPhone 15 series, showing the opening of the side buttons and the black matte color matching of the machine.

This picture shows the body of a model in the iPhone 15 series, and the opening of the side button matches the previously exposed rendering of the iPhone 15 Pro.

It's unclear whether this image shows the standard iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Pro. From the surface of the fuselage, it seems to be made of black or "midnight" matte aluminum alloy, which may be the standard version of the iPhone 15, while the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to use brushed titanium. In addition, it is reported that only this year's "Pro" series will be equipped with solid-state buttons.

Therefore, Pickpook speculates that this picture is likely to show the standard version of the iPhone 15, and the opening is designed to install physical buttons, because the two standard iPhones will not be equipped with tactile feedback this year.

As usual, Apple will release the new iPhone 15 series in September this year.

Gurman Confirms That Apple Is About To Launch New Color For The iPhone 14 Series And Also New Leather Case Color Variants

Apple unveiled the green iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro on March 8, 2022 -- almost exactly a year ago. Since Apple tends to operate on a relatively fixed schedule, this has fueled speculation of another round of spring color updates.

Nearly a year after the iPhone 13 color update, new iPhone 14 colors are coming, according to highly accurate leaker and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman via a tweet.

Nearly a year to the day after the announcement of the green iPhone 13, a new iPhone 14 color is indeed imminent.

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) March 6, 2023

It's not too specific, but given the source, it lends more support to the tweet about the upcoming yellow iPhone, which suggests Apple will announce that and more new products sometime this week. trend.

But there is no indication whether Apple will reveal a new color for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. The company generally reserves brighter colors for its non-devices, and the muted yellow might not be enough to differentiate itself from the existing gold option for the iPhone 14 Pro.

Apple tends to release new colors for its existing iPhone lineup in the spring, which is seen as a way to provide a sales boost during the slow season when sales are lower.

Meanwhile, another leaker, Majin Bu claims that Apple plans to offer leather cases in two more colors for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max as part of its upcoming spring collection. New color options include Deep Violet and Golden Brown.

iPhone 15 Pro Confirmed To Have A Unified Volume Button And A New Style Mute Button

According to 9to5mac's sources, the iPhone 15 Pro models will get rid of the separate volume up and down button design in favor of a new button, which works both ways depending on where the user presses.

Some early rumors about the iPhone 15 Pro mentioned that this year's phone will use new solid-state buttons with haptic feedback, similar to the Home button introduced on the iPhone 7. This means the the button will have no moving parts and will rely on the pressure level to operate.

The renders have revealed a single cutout for the volume buttons, but it's unclear if Apple actually opted for a single button instead of two.

In addition, the source also said that the traditional mute switch will be replaced by a new "push-style button", which means the button will also be capacitive and users will have to press hard to bring the phone in silent.

iPhone 15 Glass Panel Leaked, All Series Landing With Dynamic Island

Rumors about the iPhone 15 so far include adding curves to the front bezels of the iPhone 15 series and expanding the Dynamic Island feature on all models of this generation. In a leaked video, it looks like those two features are actually going to show up.

Goôd morning! Here’s is the real life video of the front glass panel of the iPhone 15 series, i was able to confirm its authenticity with my source. It’s real! pic.twitter.com/5BkI0OFgz9

— ShrimpApplePro 🍤 (@VNchocoTaco) March 5, 2023

A video shared by "ShrimpApplePro" shows three pieces of glass being held in the hands of the photographer. All three pieces of glass look fairly similar, with curved corners, the island element at the top, and there appear to be at least two different sizes of glass, which last point suggests that all iPhone 15 models will feature islands and arcs shaped border.

According to the leaker, the video shows glass for the "iPhone 15 series" and they were able to verify its authenticity from the source, who also mentions a second video on Bilibili for the same part.

In a follow-up reply on Twitter, the leaker clarified that what's shown in the video applies to both the Pro model and the regular version, specifying "the entry model as well."

"ShrimpApplePro" has a pretty good history of leaks, including predictions about the design of the Apple Watch Series 8. They were also the first to propose a new body design with more curved edges for the iPhone 15, back in November.

iOS 16.4 Will Clearly Show How Much Battery The iPhone 14 Pro Always-on Screen Is Draining

With the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, Apple introduced “always-on” displays, a term that literally means a screen that is always on.

On these smartphone models, it is possible to dynamically adapt the refresh rate of the screen, and instead of going to turn it off completely, the system only lowers the refresh rate to 1Hz and then darkens everything that is visible.

The result is a lock screen that always manages to show the clock, any widgets, notifications and even the system wallpaper, albeit in a darker version.

When Apple launched this novelty it also stated that the impact on battery life would not have been very high but in reality it has been found that the always on affects quite significantly. One test estimated that keeping the screen always on for 1 hour drains the battery by 0.8% which, over a whole day if the screen was always on, would correspond to about 20% of the total charge.

Over time and with the update to iOS 16.2, Apple has begun to offer a further possibility to users, namely that of completely eliminating the background (and also the Notifications if desired) when the phone is in Always-on mode. Whoever enables this option, instead of darkening it, will completely replace the background with a black image and a black pixel, on OLED-type screens, corresponds exactly to an off pixel.

The expedient that we have just described still allows you to keep the time and the other components always visible on the screen, deactivating only the background. It is estimated that in this way the impact on the battery is lower, equal to 0.6% per hour or 14% in 24 hours.

These just described are only estimates obtained with a test but in real use the percentages could be different or in any case vary according to the background. It is possible that Apple has received several complaints from users regarding the battery life of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max and that this has led the company to add another trick.

In fact, traces of a new function have been found within the iOS 16.4 beta 1 code that will be implemented in the Settings => Battery section.

It seems that Apple will soon allow us to obtain more detailed information on the battery consumption generated by the always-on screen and that this data will be easy to find and read on the dedicated screen.

In this way, first of all, each of us will be able to acquire a greater awareness of the use of the telephone and then, secondly, it could be useful for Apple support to explain to users that a (more or less important) part of battery consumption depends on the screen being always on, inviting them to look at that data and possibly evaluate the idea of deactivating the function, causing the screen to turn off completely when the phone is not being used.

Apple Is About To Launch New Canary Gold Color For iPhone 14

Apple often launches new colors midway through the iPhone life cycle to boost sales. According to a post on Weibo, Apple will introduce a new color for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus series.

This year, it seems that the company will use the color "Canary Yellow", but this may not be the official name. In terms of color, we've seen it used by Apple before and most recently with the iPhone 11.

However, Apple will probably adjust the density a bit to reflect its current products, it will most likely take on a softer look.

In addition to the new color for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, there is always the possibility that the company will also introduce a new color for the iPhone 14 Pro models.

The MacRumors source also confirmed that Apple is planning some kind of announcement next week. While there are no details, the event will be quite in line with last year, when Apple launched alpine blue and green for spring 2022.

iPhone 15 Pro Will Push Users To Update Their Devices

Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models may cause owners of older iPhones to upgrade their devices, due to significant improvements stemming from the A17 chip, the first iPhone chip based on TSMC's first-generation 3-nanometer process.

TSMC's N3E (3nm Enhanced) technology will enable significant specification upgrades in the upcoming iPhone series, according to a report by DigiTimes. Suppliers involved in the company's supply chain expect high demand for upcoming models, especially from older iPhone owners.

Several reports suggest that Apple has secured 100% of initial orders for first-generation 3nm technology despite higher production costs, suggesting that rival smartphone vendors like Samsung are willing to wait until prices hit. they will drop as they face what is expected to be a tough year for the Android market.

The faster A17 chips will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, while iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will be powered by the A16 chip first used in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. TSMC is ready to port N3E – an improved version of N3 – to commercial production in the second half of this year and Apple is expected to again be the first customer to adopt the process.

The 2023 iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to feature USB-C instead of Lightning, solid-state volume and power buttons, new periscope camera technology, minor design changes, and more.

The First iPhone With A Hidden Camera Under The Screen Has Just Appeared

In September 2022, Apple launched the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max series with a completely different screen design compared to the previous versions.

After 5 years of sticking to the "rabbit ears" screen, Apple has finally improved the cutout at the top of the screen with a new and unique feature called Dynamic Island.

As an improved Face ID sensor design, Dynamic Island is the pill-shaped hole-punch located on the top edge of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.

According to some sources, this design will be brought to all 4 iPhone 15 versions released this year by Apple. And by the iPhone 16 generation released in 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro series will switch to the Face ID design hidden under the screen like never before.

A report from The Elec site reveals that Apple will probably equip the iPhone 16 Pro with Face ID hidden under the screen without any difficulty in ensuring that external light will penetrate the screen and enter the camera system. TrueDepth.

Face ID under the screen of Apple will be similar to the camera under the screen (UPC) that Samsung Display equips for the Galaxy Z Fold series. This is a technology where a front camera module is placed under the screen and the camera lens hole is not visible when the camera function is not in use.

According to the report, if the implementation of Face ID under the screen goes smoothly, Apple may continue to use the design of hiding the selfie camera under the screen on the next iPhone 17 Pro lineup.

The source from The Elec coincides with the roadmap revealed by DSCC analyst Ross Young in May 2022. According to Young, the iPhone launched in 2024 is Apple's first iPhone line to be equipped with sensor technology hidden under the screen.

According to predictions from Ross Young, all iPhone 15 models will be equipped with Dynamic Island, not just the "Pro" model. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max (or Ultra) will be equipped with Face ID under the screen. By 2026, the iPhone 18 Pro will hide the selfie camera under the screen.

If this source is correct, the Face ID technology hidden under the screen will help Apple enhance the full-screen experience on the company's products.

In addition, The Elec's report also mentions that Apple's first foldable device is likely to launch in 2025, although it is still unclear whether it will be an iPhone, iPad or iPad/Mac hybrid as reported. rumor.

iPhone 16 Pro May Be Equipped With Face ID Hidden Under The Screen

Apple will finally have a major breakthrough in technology with the iPhone 16 Pro launching in 2024. According to a report from Korean site The Elec, the iPhone 16 Pro will likely be equipped with Face sensors. The ID is hidden below the touch screen and only the front camera is exposed to the outside.

While rumors of Apple's under-display sensor technology first surfaced last year, it has yet to be applied to the iPhone 14 Pro and possibly the iPhone 15 Pro as well. The Elec report is based on the assessment of supply chain analyst Ross Young.

The reason why Apple has yet to adopt this technology may be because its quality is still not at its best. It can be seen on smartphones that have launched with selfie cameras hidden under the screen like ZTE Axon 40. According to reviews, although the image quality has been improved compared to the previous generation, it is still not the best.

However, Face ID is different from the traditional camera on a smartphone. Apple's facial recognition technology uses TrueDepth infrared cameras and other sensors to map a user's face.

That makes getting these sensors hidden under the touchscreen a more challenging challenge for Apple. Because Face ID technology needs to have high accuracy and fast response speed, it needs to be reliable because it is used for payment and security services.

According to The Elec, iPhone 16 Pro will still have the selfie camera exposed to the outside like before. That means hiding the Face ID sensors below the screen will only be able to remove part of Dynamic Island.

However, Apple also plans to continue to apply it to the selfie camera, making the entire notch on the iPhone screen disappear in the future.

[Report] Standard iPhone 15 Will Have Dynamic Island, Pro Version Replaces Stainless Steel Frame With Titanium

According to analyst Mark Gurman in the recent Power On news, Apple plans to expand Dynamic Island to all four upcoming iPhone 15 models. Support features will vary by version due to differences in hardware and iPhone 15 Pro is replaced with a stainless steel frame with Titanium material.

In terms of size, iPhone 15 will remain unchanged from last year's iPhone 14 with 2 6.1-inch versions (iPhone 15 / 15 Pro) and 2 6.7-inch versions (iPhone 15 Plus / 15 Pro Max). It is worth noting that the iPhone Pro Max model is likely to become "Ultra" like the Apple Watch Ultra, to show the premium compared to the rest.

Dynamic Island is a new part of the design announced by Apple with the iPhone 15 Pro to replace the previous "rabbit ears" notch. In addition to being software-supported, this feature can also transform into different shapes and sizes based on a variety of tasks used by the user, such as live activity, system alerts, information apps etc..

Analyst Ross Young has previously stated that Dynamic Island will be available on all four iPhone 15 models and this rumor has now been confirmed by Mark Gurman.

According to many people's predictions, all 4 iPhone 15 models are equipped with USB-C ports instead of Lightning. USB-C is the more common charging standard and offers faster data transfer speeds than Lightning.

Analyst Mark Gurman also confirmed other rumors related to the iPhone 15 Pro models such as titanium frames, solid-state buttons.

It is expected that Apple will announce the iPhone 15 series in September like every year.

iPhone 15 Pro Will Have At Least 6 Of These Exclusive Features

Although it will remain the same size as the current iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 15 Pro will have at least 6 exclusive features to emphasize the difference compared to the standard iPhone 15.

New Chip:

According to Nikkei Asia, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models will be equipped with the A17 Bionic chip based on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process.

As a result, performance and power consumption will be greatly improved. The same thing happened last year, when only the Pro models were equipped with the latest chip from Apple.

Titanium Frame:

Like the Apple Watch Ultra, the frame of the iPhone 15 Pro models will be made of high-grade Titanium material instead of stainless steel. This information was revealed by leaker Jeff Pu.

USB-C Port:

As confirmed by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro models will have a USB-C port that supports at least USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3. That should make data transfers fast. much more. The USB-C port on standard iPhone 15 models will still be limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

Increase In RAM:

According to research firm TrendForce, the iPhone 15 Pro models will have 8GB of RAM (up from 6GB on the iPhone 14 Pro). The extra RAM will allow apps like Safari to keep more content active in the background.

Solid State Buttons:

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo once claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro models will have solid state power and volume up/down buttons thanks to the additional Taptic module, which provides tactile feedback to simulate the sensation of pressing a button without actually moving the button. There are some similarities with the Home button on the latest iPhone SE or the Touch on the MacBook.

Periscope Lens:

Ming-Chi Kuo says that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a periscope telephoto lens. This allows the device to support optical zoom at least in 6x mode, compared to 3x on the iPhone 14 Pro models.

Additionally, Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman has suggested that the Pro Max moniker could be renamed the iPhone 15 "Ultra", just like the Apple Watch Ultra.
