Apple na kritiek: apps worden snel aangepast voor iPhone Duo

Toen de iPhone Duo uitkwam waren veel apps nog niet geoptimaliseerd voor de vouwbare telefoon. Dat gaat snel veranderen, zegt Apple nu.

Zo snel is Apple Card aan te vragen (maar niet bij ons)

Apple lanceerde die eigen credit card, die erg toepasselijk simpelweg Apple Card heet, al in augustus 2019. Sindsdien is er heel wat gebeurd, zo is bijvoorbeeld sinds begin van dit jaar de bank erachter niet langer meer Goldman Sachs, maar JPMorgan Chase.

Maar één ding veranderde er... Lees verder...

MacBook Pro maakt indruk met PROLED XDR-scherm

De eerste reviews van de nieuwe MacBook Pro met PROLED XDR-display zijn verschenen. De eerste reacties van internationale techmedia zijn overwegend positief. Vooral het nieuwe OLED-scherm, het slankere ontwerp en het lagere gewicht vallen in de smaak. Toch zijn reviewers ook kritisch. De meerwaarde van het touchscreen blijkt in de praktijk beperkter dan verwacht. PROLED…

Leaker Envisions a Shorter iPhone With a New iOS Layout

A future iPhone could keep its current width while becoming shorter, with iOS preserving room for content by moving some controls into the status bar, in a theory shared by the Weibo leaker known as "Instant Digital."


Instant Digital imagines Apple shortening a non-folding iPhone once its display has only a single camera cutout or the front-facing camera moves entirely beneath the screen. Taking roughly a status bar's worth of height off the display would bring its aspect ratio from around 19.5:9 to closer to 18:9, apparently making the phone easier to hold and use with one hand.

Controls that currently sit below the status bar could share a row with the time and system indicators. Instant Digital's idea is that combining the two rows would let the shorter display show the same amount of information. The leaker described the layout and proportions as personal speculation.

Apple has already changed how iOS uses the space at the top of the screen with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo. The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌'s smaller Dynamic Island supports up to three simultaneous Live Activities, up from two on earlier models. On the ‌iPhone Duo‌, iOS fits a compact status bar into the corner and positions the Dynamic Island vertically along the side of the outer display.

The timing of a cutout-free display on the iPhone remains uncertain. The leaker "Digital Chat Station" has said Apple is testing under-display camera technology and has described an intermediate design with a visible hole for the front-facing camera, similar to the ‌iPhone Duo‌.

In a follow-up post on Weibo, another user said they expect iPhones to retain a camera cutout and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio in both 2027 and 2028. Instant Digital replied that some sources say the cutout could disappear in 2028. Display analyst Ross Young has separately said he expects the 2028 iPhone Pro models to retain a centered camera cutout.

In a separate post, Instant Digital said they had a growing hunch that iOS would change substantially after the 20th-anniversary iPhone launches in 2027. They expect changes to how users interact with the software as well as how it looks.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that the anniversary iPhone will have curved glass and thinner bezels in the biggest overhaul to the Pro line since the iPhone X. Digital Chat Station has also said Apple was testing a roughly 7-inch display for the largest anniversary model with the same aspect ratio as the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone X offers a precedent for a hardware redesign changing how people use iOS. When Apple removed the Home button in 2017, iOS 11 introduced swipe-up navigation on the iPhone X.

Adobe Photoshop 25.5 - Professional image editor.

You can download Adobe Photoshop as a part of Creative Cloud for only $54.99/month

Adobe Photoshop is a recognized classic of photo-enhancing software. It offers a broad spectrum of tools that can turn your inspiration into incredible images, photos, composites, 3D artwork, paintings, and graphics on any device.

Photoshop has become the choice of thousands of creative professionals around the world. First introduced in 1988, it still is the world's leading image-editing software.

Intuitive and clean user interface

Although Photoshop for Mac is the most comprehensive graphics and image-editing software available in the market today, it has a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface.

With recently improved usability, this photo-editor has become even more enjoyable to use. The interface loads as soon as you decide to use Photoshop.

A user-friendly interface updates you about new features, suggests learning content, and allows you to quickly access recent files. You can easily pick up where you left or create a new project, access cloud and desktop pictures, and open an existing document.

Convenient content-aware fill workspace

Adobe has recently announced the launch of its new Content-Aware Fill workspace. It allows you to remove objects or distracting elements from your images easier than ever before.

This new option offers an interactive editing experience. Now, you can take full Control over which "good" parts of the picture to use to replace the undesired areas. It allows resizing the initial selection, rotating, scaling, and mirroring content.

Enjoy a range of new tools

The latest version of the software provides a new Frame Tool that allows you to enjoy much simpler masking. Now, you can place shapes and text into placeholder frames and fill them with pictures. To create elliptical or rectangular forms, you only need to select the Frame Tool and press "K."

There is also a new default feature of multiple undo. If you want to view an object before changes are applied, just click Control + Z (for Windows OS) and Command + Z (for macOS). Don't worry about losing any project changes in Adobe Photoshop on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. With a new auto-commit feature, they are saved automatically.

What's new in Photoshop

Version 21.2:

• In the latest version, you can make accurate selections of people with one click.
• Now, Adobe Photoshop can find and add all available fonts to your libraries automatically when you open a project.
• In updated Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw workspace provides all your tools right where you need them so that you can work on your project more efficiently.
• You can experience higher accuracy with the enhanced Match Font feature that allows vertical text, provides multiple-line detection and offers even more typefaces.
• Now, you can change the orientation and add a rotation to any pattern in Pattern Overlays and Pattern Fill layers much more easily than before.

• Create and save your presets for future use or import and export to share inspiration.

• 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended)
• 4 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
