What Will Be On The New iPhone?

When the new iPhone is released later this year, will it cause as big a stir as the first version in 2007? Quite possibly, according to an article by Mike Wendland in the Detroit Free Press, which reports that rumors are flying among iPhone geeks about what might be on the new version.   It’s certain that the phone will be 3G, rather the using the not-so-good EDGE network. Additionally it will have exchange e-mail capacity, so users with Microsoft Exchange – meaning a lot of corporate people – will be able to use it, widening the market.   There will also be the possibility to download programs and games via iTunes.   Those are the certainties. The rest are rumors, including iControl, transforing the phone into a remote to control iTunes libraries on computers, and that the new phone will have a black plastic casing. Others are speculating that the new phone will include GPS.   Apple, of course, is saying nothing. But all will be revealed in a couple of months when Apple rolls out its new iPhone.

Samsung is once again here to entice you with its latest crop of foldable phones. The temptation they pose is easy to give into. You might think, what could go wrong with an almighty, well-stocked $1,000 phone?

Worth noticing, however, is the fact that plenty of other smartphones offer a much higher value for your money and can potentially fill your $1,000 purchase with remorse. That's not my intention, especially if you have already preordered the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 or Galaxy Z Flip 5. But if you are looking for potential alternatives that save you lots of money while bringing you features comparable to phones that cost almost $1,000, here we have some examples.

How to fix the ‘iPhone Unavailable’ error (4 easy ways)
Three iPhones showing security lockout screens and reset options.

From private photos to personal contacts and financial info, your smartphone likely contains a wealth of personal information that you wouldn't want falling into the wrong hands. Thankfully, Apple understands this and takes the privacy and security of your iPhone very seriously — to the point where even Apple's best engineers can't unlock your iPhone without knowing your passcode.

For security reasons, Apple also limits the number of times you can enter an incorrect passcode on your iPhone. Unless you use a really obvious passcode, this dramatically reduces the chances of somebody getting access to your iPhone simply by guessing multiple passcodes until they hit the right one.
