Citing industry sources, the report claims the OLED iPhone won’t be unveiled until November due in part to design decisions with Touch ID not yet being finalized.</p>
<p>Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, which often presents reliable information, released a more optimistic forecast <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/08/08/iphone-8-launch-colors/">earlier this week</a> predicting the OLED iPhone will debut with very limited supply alongside the new LCD iPhones.</p>

We saw a couple renders of Fitbit’s latest wearable back in May, but a new batch of images from <a href="https://www.wareable.com/fitbit/fitbit-smartwatch-pictures-leak-5886">Wareable</a> shines new light on what to expect from the upcoming Apple Watch competitor.</p>

Users can now enjoy a 14-day Ulysses trial, and thereafter subscribe for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.</p>
<p>Subscriptions are beneficial to developers because it provides them with a recurring source of revenue as they work to continually update the app, provide fixes and support, and develop new features. Software products are never “done” and software engineers, designers, and support staff never stop working, so it makes sense from a sustainable business perspective.</p>
<p>That said, it’s also understandable that, despite the considerably lower cost of entry, there may be pushback among consumers who aren’t interested in yet another subscription fee to add to their ever-growing list of recurring payments.</p>
<p>So the folks at Ulysses are sweetening the deal for already-existing customers, providing a lifetime 50% discount off the $5 monthly, which means paying $30 a year for full access to Ulysses on Mac and iOS. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/08/10/ulysses-subscription-pricing/#more-494404" class="more-link">more…</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=494404&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=494404&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />Thu, 10 Aug 2017 16:57:28 +00009to5MacApple falls behind Xiaomi and Fitbit in wearable shipments ahead of LTE Apple Watch launch

<p>The figures combine both pricier smart watches and cheaper fitness bands which explains Apple’s third place finish, but Canalys expects LTE connectivity to boost the smartwatch market during the second half of this year.</p>

The mode gives images a DSLR-like background blur, albeit with some hiccups occassionally. Sometimes the effect looks unnatural or just blurs key areas of the photo.</p>
<p>On iOS 10, if you didn’t have the option to keep the normal photo enabled under Settings, you might’ve lost a perfectly good moment. It may not have been perfect on day one, but Apple has been making improvements to the effect over various iOS updates.</p>
<p>On iOS 11, photographers will now be able to disable the depth effect even after the photo has already been taken without managing the setting. Let’s take a look how.</p>

<p>The strings point to the presence of a camera capable of supporting 240 fps video capture at 1080p. The current iPhone 7 is also able to capture video at 240 fps, but it’s limited to just 720p resolution. 240 fps video capture results in smoother slow motion video, and having that video at full HD resolution would make for a significant increase in quality.</p>

Its tone-deaf approach to online, its resistance to adopt new technologies, and most importantly — the existence of the iPhone — have all been bad signs for Nintendo. My advice to the Kyoto-based company up until now? Adapt, or succumb to a slow, painful death at the hands of mobile.</p>
