zdnet.com Elyse Betters Picaro 2026-01-02 03:52:00

What is cache? Cache -- or browser cache -- is the temporary storage of website files. So, things like images, scripts, and cookies that your browser saves on your phone to make pages load faster the next time you visit. Also: Every iPhone model that can be updated to iOS 26 (and which ones don't support it) Over time, though, those files can add up, taking a large bite out of your device storage and slowing things down.

People with Apple developer accounts have had all the fun with the iOS 26 beta so far (and yes, if you missed it, there’s a new naming system now), but now that the public betas are out, anyone can try the new features. Setting up the public beta is slightly less involved than setting up the developer beta but just as free.

From the first plus-sized iPhone Pro Max models, I've stuck with the regular configuration because the size and weight suited me better.

This USB-C iPhone case will let you finally ditch Lightning without buying a new phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-05 03:32:39

TL;DR Apple finally moved to USB-C for its smartphones in 2023, with the iPhone 15 series. While earlier models use Apple’s own Lightning port for charging and data transfers, USB adapters exist. Engineer Ken Pillonel has now built a low-profile USB-C adapter right into an iPhone case. Apple has been successful enough to get away with doing things its own way for years, and for the longest time, that meant that using its mobile hardware meant interfacing through some proprietary connectors.
