Brace yourselves, the iPhone 15 Pro series could get a price hike

Apple could be increasing the price of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, according to a report from Bloomberg. This follows earlier reports from Wedbush and Haitong industry analysts, claiming that the iPhone 15 series would see a higher average selling point than the iPhone 14. 

The report comes from Bloomberg’s technology desk, claiming that Apple planned to increase the iPhone’s pricing to keep revenues steady even as the smartphone market heads for a slump. The report claims that Apple plans to ship 85 million iPhones this year, down from 90 million it ordered for the iPhone 14 last year.

We’ve previously had a look at the pricing for the iPhone 15-series, especially as analysts have claimed price hikes would be incoming this year, though not exactly the iPhone 15 Pro specifically.

If these reports turn out to be accurate, then the pricing for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max could look like this:

These will be expensive phones, mind you, but the best Android phones and the best foldables have already pushed the envelope for what could be regarded as expensive. At the same time, these are going to be the most expensive iPhones yet, and that sticker shock, if over a grand, could hit a little harder than before. 

It’s over $1000

Though Apple’s iPhones (especially the Pro ones) are expensive, this will be the first time the company’s Pro-phones would all sit above $1000 (not that $999 was a meaningful differentiator). 

Apple could justify the price hike with new materials – some reports claim that the iPhone would use titanium in the new iPhone. Another claims that the company is working on a periscope camera for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Some even claim the iPhone 15 Pro Max could become an iPhone 15 Ultra for brand synergy with the Apple Watch Ultra. All of these paint a very exciting upgrade coming down the line this year. It’ll just cost a pretty penny,

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
