eSIM is supported by the iPhone XS and iPhone XR
Today, T-Mobile has announced that it is bringing eSIM support to the iPhone XS and iPhone XR for its postpaid customers. Reported by 9to5Mac, this offering by the Uncarrier is actually an expansion of existing functionality. T-Mobile was already supporting eSIM on both iPhone models in December of last year, but it was limited at the time to prepaid customers only.

T-Mobile today announced expanded support for embedded SIM (eSIM), which is basically just a physical SIM card gone digital. Last year, the Un-carrier launched eSIM on prepaid plans, and starting August 28, customers can light up an eSIM with a T-Mobile postpaid plan — something Un-carrier customers have asked for – to open new ways of using an eSIM-equipped device by adding a second line on the same device.

Apple’s rumored Tile-like service could have additional features.
A new report suggests it will offer ARKit functionality and the ability to leash devices together.
With leashing, whenever a device is too far from another like an iPhone and Apple Watch, you will be alerted.
The service could use augmented reality to track lost devices.

Apple introduced a revamped Find My app for iOS 13 in June, paving the way for Offline Finding, its way of tracking lost devices even when they’re turned off. Along those lines, Apple has also been rumored to be working on a Tile-like service to make tracking devices even easier, and new code strings within iOS 13 confirm that this new service could offer even more functionality.

According to MacRumors, an ARKit ”star” image was discovered in the Find My app in the iOS 13 beta which suggest the service could use augmented reality to find a lost device.

The case maker said its manufacturer confirmed the designs are legit.
We’re expecting Apple to unveil the iPhone 11 Pro on September 10.
The iPhone 11 hasn yet to be announced, but that hasn’t stopped Totallee from introducing cases designed for Apple’s upcoming smartphone.

Totallee already has cases for sale designed for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone Pro Max, saying its manufacturer has confirmed that the designs are the real deal.

The case maker is so confident in the designs that if you buy an iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max case now and it doesn’t fit what Apple ultimately introduces, you’ll get you…

Consumer Reports said it cannot recommend the AirPods.
The report cited sound as one of the biggest negatives.
Consumer Reports said consumers should check out Samsung’s Galaxy Buds instead.
Apple’s AirPods are one of the company’s most successful products, becoming an overnight hit following their release in 2016. Despite their popularity, Consumer Reports still won’t recommended them.

In new sound quality testing between AirPods and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds, the publication compares things like sound quality, form and fit, features, and ease of use. On almost every occasion Consumer Reports says the Galaxy Buds are better, especially when it comes to sound quality.

One weak spot is bass. The AirPods deliver the physical thump you get from percussive low sounds like a kick drum, but the earphones lack depth. Think of the acoustic base on Miles Davis’ ”So What.” The bass is there, but you miss t…

Apple could start selling iPhones online in India.
It was previously prevented from doing so with a rule that forced companies to source 30% of their production locally.

Apple isn’t required to source 30% of iPhone production in India anymore.

It will now allow Apple to sell its products online before setting up brick and mor…
