X is now making Likes private for everyone

What posts you liked on X used to be publicly available information, which would sometimes get people in trouble, so now the social platform, previously known as Twitter, is starting to make that data private.

The X Engineering account revealed you will be still able to see posts you have liked, but others won't. Authors will retain like counters and will be able to see who liked their posts, but you won't get detailed lists for other people's posts.

This week we’re making Likes private for everyone to better protect your privacy.– You will still be able to see posts you have liked...

Shocking: iOS 18 lets you hide app labels on your home screen

AI is one thing (or two, actually, since it can either mean Artificial Intelligence or Apple Intelligence, as we found out yesterday), but have you noticed how many new customization features Apple packed into iOS 18? It's almost like it wants to finally give people some Android-like choices following many, many years of "we know best".

So you can now move home screen icons wherever you want, and even - please sit down for this one - have empty spaces. On your home screen. Steve Jobs is probably rolling in his grave. But wait, there's more! The intrepid folks over at MacRumors have...

Analyst: the foldable iPhone will have an outward folding design like the Huawei Mate Xs 2

Apple’s event yesterday focused on software and the company didn’t say much about hardware. But the company is working on at least two foldable devices behind the scenes – one 20.3” MacBook, which is reportedly closer to completion, and one 7.9” foldable iPhone.

The latter will have an outward folding design, similar to the Huawei Mate Xs 2, according to analyst Jeff Pu. This means a single display that covers the front and back of the device when folded and straightens out a flat singular display when opened.

Pu expects this foldable iPhone to be ready for...

It has been at that price before, so there is some fluctuation.
