The new iPhone 14 series models have a feature that no other iPhones have: a power on and off sound. It's not enabled by default, so you'll have to activate it to hear any sounds when you shutdown and boot up your iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max.

Apple's iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4 includes a new Siri voice found in Settings / Siri & Search / Siri Voice / American. The new "Voice 5" is a more gender neutral voice that's somewhere in between the deeper male and higher-pitched female voices.

Apple added a gesture in iOS 13 that lets you tap and pan using two fingers, selecting multiple emails as you slide down the list. That still works in iOS 14 and iOS 15, but there’s a faster way to bulk-select emails in Mail on your iPhone.
First, you can go into Edit mode in a mailbox or search, select an email with one finger and slide up or down just a bit to act like you’re going to select more, then use another finger to swipe up or down on the screen. Even better, once the scroll bar appears, drag that to go super fast.
Second, you can do the same thing using the scroll bar, but instead of scrolling it down with your finger, you can use another finger to flick the screen up or down to where you need it.
Note that the two-finger pan does not work with quick scroll.

Deleting emails in bulk in Apple Mail on an iPhone, especially during a search, is a pain in the ass. In iOS 11 and 12, it would take over 5 minutes to delete 450 emails: youtu.be/0d5usb1Jpt4
But iOS 13 fixes this issue. It's still not the best option we could want, but it makes it so that you can delete 450 emails in 6 to 7 times faster. You could use the "Select All" button in folders and mailboxes (not shown in this video) but for searches, you use a new gesture to select multiple messages at once.
Tap "Edit," then slide your finger on the bubbles to select messages, then hit the "Trash" icon. You can see this in action in the video. But there's an even faster way — slide two finders down the list of emails to select them. You don't even have to hit "Edit" first!

No computer, no root, no shady apps — you can now remove any bloatware app with nothing other than your phone.
Since it relies on the new Wireless Debugging feature built into Android, this method works on most Android 9 or higher devices. Some OEMs disabled it on Android 9 and 10, but all OEMs have it in their Android 11 builds.

This one's so cool that I had to shoot the video in a special location. Using the new Wireless Debugging feature introduced in Android 9, you can now send ADB shell commands to your own phone!
What this means is you don't need root or a computer to do things like grant elevated permissions to customization apps, or the big one, uninstalling any bloatware app. It's legit ADB on the go, which is why I made this video in a freakin' creek bed lol.

With an unlockable bootloader and a price tag that keeps the risk-reward ratio low, the Pixel 4a is the new king of rootable phones.
You'll have to enable Developer Options, allow OEM unlocking, unlock the bootloader, then patch the stock boot image and flash it in fastboot — but it's not as bad as it sounds if you have somebody walking you through each step.

NOTE: This is the Windows method, but the full tutorial has Mac instructions.
Google just dropped the first developer preview build of Android 11, aka Android R. This first version (and possibly more) will not be available as a public beta download, meaning you'll have to manually flash the update if you want it now.
The good news is, if your bootloader is already unlocked, you can easily flash the DP1 build without wiping your data. Yes, you'll have to use fastboot, but you won't even have to type a single command — just double-click a file.

For security reasons, Android now defaults to "Charge only" mode when you connect your phone to a computer with a USB cable. But if you use your phone like a flash drive, it gets old having to tap the notification, then pick file transfer mode in the menu.
Thankfully, if you enable the hidden Developer Options menu in Android's Settings, you can choose the default mode for your phone's USB connection and make it show up in Explorer or Finder right away.

With the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, Samsung got rid of the dedicated Bixby key and made it to where long-pressing the power button activates Bixby. But this means you can't restart your phone by long-pressing the power button anymore.
So in this video, we tested the Note 10 live with our hands-on access at Samsung Unpacked 2019. There are 2 methods to use to power off or reboot the Note 10. The second method — the one with the hardware button combo — can also be used as a hard reboot gesture when the phone is frozen. Just hold volume down and power for 10 seconds and the phone will reboot no matter what.

Since Samsung went almost fully bezel-less, they had to drop the old notification light from past Galaxy phones. But the S10 has that unique camera punch hole that's practically begging to be put to use. Chainfire answered the call here and made an app that will highlight the cutout with a circular ring indicator when you have notifications — even with the screen off. You don't even need to be rooted!

In this video, I'll be showing you how to move the clock back to the upper-right corner on your Samsung Galaxy device running One UI (Android 9.0 Pie).
Google moved the clock to the left corner to accommodate phones with notches, and Samsung kept this change, but Galaxy phones don't have notches. So if you'd like to put things back the way they were, you just need to install an app called SystemUI Tuner, send one ADB command (available in Step 5 at the full tutorial), then tap a couple of buttons.
If you're having any issues with the ADB stuff shown here, check out the full tutorial. There are links to other troubleshooting guides that can help get you squared away.

Many reviewers have glossed over the fact that the iPhone XR doesn’t have 3D Touch like nine of the last ten iPhone models had. There is, of course, a new thing called Haptic Touch, and many people believe it’s the new future for iPhone displays since it’s cheaper to manufacturer over 3D Touch. Personally, I hope they’re wrong.
This video will outline the main differences between Haptic Touch on the iPhone XR and 3D Touch on a device like the iPhone XS Max. Let us know what you think about the changes in the comments!

If your new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR became unresponsive, you’ve might have tried the button combo from the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in order to force-restart it — but it didn't work.
That’s because the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR use those buttons together to open up Emergency SOS instead, unlike on the 7 and 7 Plus, which use 5 clicks of the Side button to do the same.
On the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, as well as the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X, instead of holding the Side and Volume Down buttons together, press the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button, then press-and-hold the Side button for 10 seconds. When the Apple logo appears, let go, and you're device will open to the unlock screen.

In iOS 12 for iPhone, Safari has a few new features you'll want to know about. There's one cosmetic one (favicons) and a few security ones (fingerprinting defense; tracking blocking). There are also a whole host of features that other apps can enjoy too but that are most useful in your web browser.

When it comes to customizing your home screen, Apple provides few options to do so. You can change text size and boldness, choose between two different app icon sizes, remove badges, change your wallpaper, and other minor tweaks that iOS lets you perform. What you cannot do is change an app’s icon to whatever you want, at least, not without some hard work on your Mac using the Apple Configurator 2 app.
Using Apple Configurator: http://bit.ly/YourOwnIcons
There is, however, another option that’s starting to pick up steam, which let’s you change app icons on your home screen with just a few taps. Ever since iOS 10.3, Apple has given developers a way to let their users change their app’s home screen icon.
The feature is called “user-selectable app icons,” and it’s not a required item in order to get an app into the App Store. It’s completely optional for developers, and many have been slow to jump on the bandwagon since there’s a lot of extra work involved in getting them ready for users since they need to work across all iOS devices with different screen sizes and resolutions.
At first, many developers charged a small fee in order to select different icons, but there are more and more free options popping up everyday in the App Store.
List of Supported Apps: http://bit.ly/ChangeIcons
Finding apps that support user-selectable app icons isn’t very easy, but we’ve compiled a list on Gadget Hacks that lists all of the ones we know about, and we continually update the list as we find more. So make sure to visit Gadget Hacks to view the complete list.
Once you have an app that supports user-selectable app icons, there are variable ways to choose the icons you want. Check out the video to see all the ways.

This is just a quick demo showing how 3D Touch does not work right away on the home screen in iOS 11.3 after unlocking your iPhone. This is an iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone X both running iOS 11.3. We've tested the iPhone 8 Plus with the same results. Lock screen notifications are also wonky with 3D Touch on some models.
iOS 11.4 beta 3 finally fixes the issue: ios.gadgethacks.com/news/ios-11-4-beta-3-released-for-iphone-fixes-3d-touch-issues-other-bugs-0184467

In this video, I'll be showing you a cool little hardware mod that you can do with a few things you probably already have at home.
With two strips of aluminum tape, four strips of masking tape, and a pair of scissors, you can add shoulder buttons to any smartphone and make mobile gaming a lot less awkward. Sure, it's not the most visually appealing mod, but it works like a charm and could help a lot in PUBG or Fortnite.

SelfieFlash App: http://bit.ly/2ruV7Gf
In this video, I'll be showing you a cool little app that gives you a front-facing selfie flash feature in any app — no root needed.
Similar to a feature you'll find on iPhones and some stock camera apps, this makes the screen turn white while you're taking a selfie to better illuminate your face. But the killer feature is how it works in ANY app — even Snapchat, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Full Comparison: http://bit.ly/BestForRooting
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, I’ll be talking about the best phones for rooting as we head into 2018. The phone that topped our list was none other than the OnePlus 5T.
Other phones that made the top 5 were the first-gen Pixel, the Moto G5 Plus, the LG G6, and the Huawei Mate 9. You may notice that some of these aren’t the absolute latest models, and that’s because we held off recommending phones like the Pixel 2 as a result of their yet-to-be-determined development support.
We’ll revisit this list in the future, at which point you may see some newer models make it in — that is, if their dev community starts picking up.

Termux App: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
In this video, I’ll be showing you how to see if your phone supports Project Treble. NOTE: This only applies if your phone has been updated to Android 8.0 Oreo or higher.
Phones that shipped with Oreo pre-installed are required to support Project Treble — but that isn’t the case if your phone gets updated to Oreo. Some OEMs are adding Treble support, others aren’t. But you can see if your phone got it by running a single command in the Termux app.
Treble will help speed up Android updates in the future by separating the OS from the vendor-specific aspects of your firmware. In other words, OEMs whose phones support Treble only need to update the Android OS, not blobs or binaries or any of that stuff. Treble is also proving to be a HUGE help with AOSP custom ROM support, so cross your fingers and hope your phone returns that “true” value as shown with the PH-1 in the video.

In this video we take a look at enabling the OnePlus 5T face unlock mechanism on any Android phone running Nougat or above. This method is desirable as it skips the traditional lock-screen swipe required by Smart Lock.
The process is quite simple and uses a single app called AutoInput. Make sure to check out our full tutorial above for all the links mentioned in the video.
