Wanting to put its internals on display, YouTube’s Phone Repair Guru stripped an iPhone 16 Pro’s back panel down to the glass using a surprisingly complicated process. Gallium was even used to remove a thin layer of aluminum as the two metals react to create a soft alloy. The results look great, but maybe don’t try this mod at home.
With the latest iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia updates, wired gaming with an Xbox controller is now supported, even for devices with Lightning ports (using an adapter), MacRumors reports, giving Xbox-preferring gamers a way around latency and wireless interference.
Apple devices had previously supported PlayStation controllers but not Xbox, which MacRumors notes use a proprietary USB protocol, so support for it needed to be custom, as well.
Leveraging new iOS 18 features allowing for more customizability when arranging apps (including hiding their names) Kristin Moore designs custom wallpapers that turn iPhone home screens into bookshelves, as spotted by 9to5Mac.
They’ve already shared a few bookshelf wallpapers on Threads, but you can order a custom design through their Etsy shop, or buy a template to customize your own.
