Waze is working on integration with the CarPlay home screen
Undoubtedly, the most popular navigation app is Waze. It can alert us in an instant about speeding, the current traffic situation, radars and the like. If you use this program directly in your car, you know for sure that you have to open it directly, otherwise you won't see any maps. According to the latest information, which stems directly from the tester himself, Waze is working on integration with the CarPlay home screen.
As you can see in the attached image above, thanks to this we would no longer have to have the application open, but we would still be able to see directly from the home screen which route we should follow and what the current speed limit is. However, this feature has not yet been officially introduced and is currently in the beta testing phase. This innovation would make using CarPlay very pleasant. Thanks to this, we will not have to constantly switch between screens, because in short, we will see everything at a glance - for example, navigation, the song currently being played, the calendar and the like. But when we will receive this support is still unclear.
iOS 15 will no longer be able to be installed on iPhone 6S and iPhone SE (2016)
The Israeli magazine The Verifier shared quite interesting information last night, according to which the iOS 15 operating system will no longer be able to be installed on the first generation iPhone 6S and iPhone SE. Whether this information is true is of course unclear for now. In any case, it is necessary to mention that this source already said before the arrival of iOS 14 that the iPhone SE, 6S and 6S Plus phones will be the last ones to support this system. In other respects, their history of "leaks" is not so bright, as they have already been wrong several times.
In addition, the Californian giant supplies Apple phones with current software for four to five years. The aforementioned 6S and 6S Plus models were introduced in 2015, and the first iPhone SE a year later. If this forecast comes true, it would mean that iOS 15 will be compatible with the following products:
- iPhone from 2013
- iPhone 12 Pro (Max)
- iPhone 12 (mini)
- iPhone 11 Pro (Max)
- iPhone 11
- iPhone XS (Max)
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone SE (2020)
- iPod touch (seventh generation)
Experts from iFixit disassembled the iPhone 12 Pro Max
The Californian giant showed us four phones this year, the largest of which is the iPhone 12 Pro Max model. It boasts a 6,7″ display and its size is of course also reflected in the internal components. Experts from the portal have traditionally shed light on them iFixit, who took the phone apart in detail and shared the whole experience with us. So how is the biggest Apple phone to date different?
The main difference can already be seen when the back of the phone is removed. While other Apple phones have a classic rectangular battery, in the iPhone 12 Pro Max, due to its larger capacity, it has the shape of the letter L. We could meet the same case for the first time with last year's iPhone 11 Pro Max. The battery itself then offers a capacity of 14,13 Wh, while for comparison we can mention the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, which boasts a 10,78Wh battery. Even so, this is a small step backwards. The iPhone 11 Pro Max offered a 15,04Wh battery.

Another difference can be found directly in the camera system, which has significantly larger dimensions than the standard iPhone 12. It will probably be the choice of a more advanced sensor. Sometimes size really does matter. The Californian giant could afford to use the largest sensor ever found in an Apple phone, thanks to which the Pro Max model offers significantly better photos in poor lighting conditions. Still, we must not forget to mention the advantage of this phone, which is the image stabilization sensor. It can compensate for the tremor of human hands with up to several thousand movements per second.
iFixit continues to highlight the significantly more compact design of the motherboard compared to the iPhone 12, as well as the SIM card slot, which is now significantly easier to repair. It will also be easier to access the speakers, which can be removed or replaced relatively easily. In terms of repairability, the iPhone 12 Pro Max scored 6 out of 10, which is the same score as the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. In addition, it can be expected that the rating will decrease year after year. The main reason is the ever-increasing water resistance and a number of other factors.
