In case you want to simply restart an iOS device, you first need to turn it off and then power it on. Having an option to reboot always helps as a quick restart fixes common issues and app glitches most of the time. If the absence of the restart button is bothering you then we have a solution.

New figures highlight the iPhone’s rough quarter in China

When Apple issued revised guidance for its quarterly earnings last month, the company singled out China as a primary driver for its disappointing result.

New figures out this week show right around a 20 percent dip in shipments in China y-o-y for the quarter. That’s a pretty dramatic drop for a market that’s been a key factor in...

Many major companies, like Air Canada, Hollister and Expedia, are recording every tap and swipe you make on their iPhone apps. In most cases you won’t even realize it.
