Replacing iPhone rear panels isn’t easy.
It can be made easier with a $2,000 laser machine.
It’s fun to watch, too.

Magic is real.

Replacing the rear panel on modern iPhones isn’t as easy as it used to be. They’re basically glued into place, and getting them off is difficult. But using a laser to burn away that glue makes the whole thing less troublesome. And watching it happen is pretty entertaining, too.

You can see the whole process thanks to YouTuber EverythingApplePro, and it’s way more fun than it ought to be.

The laser apparently costs around $2,000 to buy, but if you’re running a phone repair shop that’s probably a very sound investment. Especially considering Apple charges up to $600 to replace a broken iPhone 11 Pro panel.

As the video shows, the laser does most of the work by softening and removing the adhesive that holds the back panel on. But then it’s down to the repair person to complete the job with a little force – and a lot of fly…

Everyone’s heartbeat is running higher over this lawsuit.

Apple is being sued over a key health feature in the Apple Watch.
An NYU professor is suing the company over its atrial fibrillation detection.
The professor claims that Apple infringed on his patent that pioneered the technology.

One of the most impressive features of the Apple Watch is the ability for the watch to detect signs of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that many of us are unaware we have. Early detection of such a condition can help avoid more serious health issues down the road, and its a great addition to the many health-focused features of Apple Watch.

A doctor in New York, however, claims that the technology infringes on his patent. Reported by Bloomberg, Dr. Joseph Wiesel, a professor at the New York University School of Medicine, is suing Apple over the feature, which currently resides in the Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 5.

Wiesel is arguing that the technology in the App…

These tips will help you get creative and capture your New Year’s festivities in bold new ways!

New Year’s Eve is insanely hectic: There are a billion parties to pick from (or you have to make the hard decision to stay home in your PJs with your cat and a box of wine… tough choice, tbh), you have to spend time organizing and wrangling together intoxicated friends/family as they sloppily blow on noise-makers, and don’t even talk to me about choosing the perfect outfit.

While all of this can be ridiculously stressful, capturing these moments and memories doesn’t really need to be. You don’t actually have to be toting around a massive DSLR at that gigantic party or stressing about your GoPro getting lost in the midst of midnight celebrations.

All you really need is your iPhone, some tips and tricks, and a big ol’ dose of creativity!

Here are some different ways you can record and remember the end of 2018, while ushering in the New Year in pro photography fashion!

Apple has released a new video series to highlight ”Slofies”.
The series shows not only the end product, but what happens behind the scenes to make it happen.
Apple seems to acknowledge how goofy creating a ”Slofie” is.

One of the most interesting and bizzare features that Apple announced for the iPhone 11 at its September event was a new way to take a selfie. Dubbed ”Slofies”, iPhone 11 owners could now take a slow motion video with the front camera, enabling a new wave of creative and socially polarizing photography.

To highlight the new feature, Apple has released a new video series to its YouTube channel to show off not only the finished product of a slofie, but the sacrifice involved to achieve it.

The first video is the one we are already familiar with, as it is the one that Apple used to announce ”Slofies” at its September event. The video shows a girl posing for a slomotion glamour shot that only gets…
