People are cheating on their partners by using iPhone Notes app as a secret chatting app: Here's how
Step 1: Open the Notes app on iPhone, and create a new note.
Step 2: Now type a short message so the note is saved on the app.
Step 3: Click on the share button on the top right corner and then open the 'Collaborate' tab.
Step 4: Simply select the contact name to make them a collaborator.
Step 5: Send the note to the selected contact on iMessage.
Step 6: As they join the note as a collaborator, users can easily conduct a secret conversation.
This way, iPhone users do not have to rely on any instant messaging apps for their personal or private conversations. This also eliminates the 'send' icon, so users just have to type the message, and it will instantly start to show to the collaborator. Additionally, users can instantly delete the note or stop sharing the note once the conversation has ended. This way, there will be no evidence left for the conversation that took place on the iPhone's Notes app.
This hidden Notes app feature can be used to plan surprises if you do want your friends and family to know, have a private conversation, or simply want to avoid spying eyes. This also limits others' attention to your phone since it looks like you're making notes.

Jack Dorsey's offline messaging app Bitchat now available on App Store: More details inside
Bitchat, Jack Dorsey's new project, is now officially live for Apple users. It is available on the App Store and brings a refreshing change to messaging apps. You do not need mobile data, a Wi-Fi connection, or even a registered account to use it. The app runs on a Bluetooth-based mesh network system. If your phone has Bluetooth on, it will automatically connect with others running Bitchat nearby. As people move, their phones relay messages across short distances. So, even without direct contact, your message may still reach its destination. Bitchat does not ask for your name, email, or number. You open it and start chatting. All messages are encrypted, stored locally, and deleted after a short period. There are no backups or cloud storage involved. Your data stays on your device and nowhere else. This makes the app suitable for temporary or emergency communication, such as during power cuts, natural disasters, or public events. There is no tracking, and nobody can access your messages once they vanish. Dorsey developed this app as part of a new open-source group. It supports a wide range of Apple devices, from iPhone to Vision Pro. The interface is clean and simple. It is ideal for people who value privacy and want a tool that does not depend on big tech servers. However, a disclaimer is included. The team behind Bitchat warns users that the app has not been tested by external security professionals. Until such a review is done, the app should not be used for confidential or sensitive messaging. Still, the idea behind Bitchat is promising. As more users explore ways to stay off the grid, apps that offer freedom from logins and network dependency could become more popular. With its App Store launch, Bitchat gives everyone a chance to try this new way of connecting.

iPhone 17 Pro leaks suggest third camera control, enhanced zoom, and new Pro camera app
The new iPhone 17 Pro might gain a new camera feature as a few of the purported test units of the premium smartphone were reportedly being tested around San Francisco, United States, ahead of the official launch event which is slated for sometime in September this year. Until then, these purported test units of the latest Apple iPhone may have given away what the new camera feature might be. The iPhone 17 Pro may include three hardware and software camera features, according to a report by a tipster from MacRumors. The leak about the additional camera features first emerged on July 29, through an ongoing advert shoot for the iPhone 17 Pro. This advert reportedly led to some sightings of the iPhone 17 Pro in the city. A secondary camera control was positioned near the top edge of the device, according to the report. If this new feature is a capacitive touch scroll surface, its placement seems logical. One could hold the iPhone in landscape orientation with the primary Camera Control accessible to the right index finger, and this new feature positioned beneath the left index finger. The purpose of this setup has been debated. Moving these features to a separate hardware component might be a solution, especially if Apple has responded to feedback indicating that the swipe surface functionalities overly complicate the existing Camera Control button. Alternatively, Apple might link the zoom feature to the left button so that the right button is not needed for mode switching. According to MacRumors, a tipster on July 27, revealed three new camera features. One of these was the third external camera control, which has now been confirmed. The tipster also suggested an 8x optical zoom, an upgrade from the 5x zoom in the iPhone 16 Pro. They claimed that the lens can move to focus continuously at different focal points. Lastly, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to feature a new Pro camera app for both photos and videos, though it remains unclear whether this app will be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro models. The second week of September is expected to see the official unveiling of Apple's upcoming flagship, the iPhone 17 Pro. According to multiple reports, including from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the launch event is scheduled for either Monday, September 8, 2025, or Wednesday, September 10, 2025. 'Apple is probably going to have its iPhone 17 keynote on Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10,' Gurman said. Pre-orders are expected to open by Friday, September 12, with global sales likely commencing from September 19. This information is also supported by an ongoing advert shoot for the iPhone 17 Pro.

India pips China as top smartphone supplier to US in Q2, 2025: Canalys
New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) India has emerged as the largest manufacturing hub for smartphones shipped into the US for the first time in Q2, 2025, as China's share shrunk amid tariff negotiations, according to Canalys. The research from Canalys (now part of Omdia) revealed that United States smartphone shipments grew 1 per cent in the second quarter of the current calendar year as vendors continued to frontload device inventories amid tariff concerns. The uncertain outcome of negotiations with China has accelerated supply chain reorientation, it said. The share of US smartphone shipments assembled in China fell to 25 per cent in the April-June period, from 61 per cent a year earlier. "Most of this decline has been picked up by India; the total volume of 'Made-in-India' smartphones grew 240 per cent year-on-year and now accounts for 44 per cent of smartphones imported into the US, up from only 13 per cent of smartphone shipments in Q2 2024," it said. In Q2, iPhone shipments declined 11 per cent year-on-year to 13.3 million units, a correction from the 25 per cent growth in Q1, 2025, as per Canalys. Samsung's shipments grew 38 per cent year-on-year to 8.3 million units. Motorola continued its expansion in the US, growing two per cent to 3.2 million units. Google and TCL rounded off the top five, with Google growing 13 per cent to 0.8 million while TCL declined 23 per cent, shipping 0.7 million units. "India became the leading manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US for the very first time in Q2 2025, largely driven by Apple's accelerated supply chain shift to India amid an uncertain trade landscape between the US and China," said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys. Apple has scaled up its production capacity in India over the last several years as a part of its 'China Plus One' strategy and has opted to dedicate most of its export capacity in India to supply the US market so far in 2025, Chaurasia said. "Apple has begun manufacturing and assembling Pro models of the iPhone 16 series in India, but is still dependent on established manufacturing bases in China for the scaled supply needed for Pro models in the US. Samsung and Motorola have also increased their share of US-targeted supply from India, although their shifts are significantly slower and smaller in scale than Apple's," Chaurasia said.
