Why does your iPhone keep showing the Apple logo? Common causes and effective fixes for booting problems
Why is your iPhone flashing the Apple logo repeatedly, you wonder? If you recently installed an update or restored an old backup, you could be stuck at the Apple logo screen on your phone. In some cases, it'll keep popping up and disappear on its own with no issues for the user, but sometimes, you'll have to act fast to get back control of your phone.
If you're seeing the Apple logo on your iPhone screen and don't see any change, your first step should be performing a force restart. This process can vary depending on which iPhone you have. For iPhones 8 and later, you have to press and quickly release the volume up button and then do the same thing with the volume down button. After that, make sure you press and hold the side button until your screen is blank and the Apple logo becomes visible.
For iPhone 7 users, the process goes like this: press and hold both the volume down button and side buttons until the Apple logo appears. If you're using an iPhone 6s or an earlier version of the device, you ought to press and hold the home button while pressing the side or top button until you see the Apple logo. Once you do that, the next step is patience.
However, this might not always work for everyone. While it's rare for your iPhone to run into issues when you're restoring your backup or transferring data from another device, it can still happen. In this case, your best bet is connecting your iPhone to a PC or a Mac and ensuring that it's running the latest iOS version. If not, it's prudent to install the update.
Simply plug in your iPhone to your computer and then put it into recovery by following the same instructions we just explained to trigger a force restart.
When you see the recovery screen, open Finder if you're on a Mac running macOS Catalina 10.15 or later. If you have a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14 or earlier or if you're on a Windows laptop, open iTunes. It's crucial to make sure that it's the latest version of the app.
Then, you should be able to see an option to update the iPhone. Click and then follow the on-screen instructions to download the update on your iPhone. Don't interrupt the update and you'll see that the iPhone is working normally once it's complete.
There's another way to get your lock screen back again and it's called Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode. In this process, both the software and firmware are installed, thereby fixing the problem. First off, connect your iPhone to your PC/Mac and open iTunes/Finder.
Press and release the volume up button, then do the same thing with the volume down button. Note that this is for users of iPhone 8 or later.
Then, press and keep holding the side button until you see a black screen. Now, hold both the side and volume down buttons for 5 seconds.
The next step is to let go of the side button but to hold the volume down button until it's detected by your computer.
Your iPhone's screen will continue to stay black while it's in DFU mode. Make sure you don't see the Apple logo, because that would mean the phone has gone into recovery mode. You must repeat the steps above to get back into DFU mode.
Once all is done, you'll see the Restore option on your PC/Mac. Simply click it and voila, your phone should start working as usual again.
If none of these fixes work, it's probably time to take your iPhone to the Apple store for repair. A hardware issue might be causing this issue to persist on your iPhone.

Trump's diktat to Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants, asks them to stop Indian…, rules about H-1B visa might…
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has asked big tech companies of America like Google, Microsoft to stop hiring in India. Trump said in the AI Summit held in Washington DC on Wednesday, July 23, that America's biggest tech companies take advantage of our freedom, but set up factories in China and recruit people from India. What did Donald Trump say about Google and Microsoft? Donald Trump said that we want companies like Google, Microsoft to give priority to American workers as this is in the interest of the country. Trump criticized the globalist mind set of tech companies and said that Americans should get jobs first. According to Trump, companies are killing the rights of American talent by investing money on factories and employees abroad. Trump made these comments at the AI Summit held in Washington DC on 23 July. How will it affect India's tech sector? India's IT sector may be affected by this statement as Google, Microsoft and other tech companies have millions of employees in India. These companies run large offices in cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. Apart from this, according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services, in 2023, 72% of H-1B visas were given to Indians, mostly in areas like data science, Artificial Intelligence, and cyber security. Trump's policy may make H-1B visa rules more stringent, making it difficult for Indian tech professionals to get jobs in the US. Also, due to less new recruitment in India, pressure on IT companies and startups will increase. When Trump threatened Apple CEO Tim Cook Earlier in May, Trump had threatened Apple about making iPhones in India as he said that iPhones sold in the USA should be manufactured in the US, not in India or any other country. Trump said that he has previously directly told Apple CEO Tim Cook that if Apple does not make iPhones in the US, a tariff of at least 25% will be imposed on the company. After this threat from Trump, Apple's stock fell 4% to $193. However, despite Trump's threat to Apple, 78% of iPhones sold in the USA are being made in India.

Apple cites Supreme Court's birthright ruling in fight over Epic Games injunction
Apple is hoping a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling curbing the power of federal judges to issue nationwide orders will help the technology giant win an appeal in a lawsuit requiring it to revamp its lucrative App Store. In a court filing on Tuesday, Apple told the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the Supreme Court's June order in a case involving birthright citizenship bolsters the iPhone maker's arguments in a high-stakes standoff with "Fortnite" game developer Epic Games. The Supreme Court limited when judges can issue so-called universal injunctions that apply broadly, and not just to the parties in a lawsuit. The justices did not rule on whether the Trump administration can legally terminate the right to citizenship for people born on U.S. soil, but the decision was a win for the administration, which had complained about individual lower courts blocking its policies nationwide. Even though the case at the high court had nothing to do with Apple, its appeal could test the scope of the justices' ruling. Apple and Epic did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Apple in its appeal is challenging a U.S. district judge's order in April that said the company must open its App Store to more competition, allowing all developers - not just Epic - more freedom to steer consumers to alternative payment options outside of an app. The appeal also challenges the judge's finding that Apple was in contempt for violating a prior injunction in the same case. Epic Games sued Apple in 2020 to loosen its control over transactions in applications that use its iOS operating system and how apps are distributed to consumers. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in 2021 said Apple must allow developers to more easily steer consumers to potentially cheaper non-Apple payment options. Apple defied that court order to maintain a revenue stream worth billions of dollars, Gonzalez Rogers ruled in April. Apple has denied any wrongdoing, and defended its compliance with the court's orders. Apple told the 9th Circuit that, after the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision, judges no longer have freestanding authority to issue universal injunctions. Apple also noted that Epic pursued its lawsuit on its own, not as a class action on behalf of a larger group. Epic told the appeals court in May that Apple's App Store changes will have wide-reaching benefits for the industry and consumers. "The sky has not fallen. Instead, developers and consumers are finally beginning to see the long-awaited benefits of increased competition," Epic said. The case is Epic Games Inc v. Apple Inc, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 25-2935. For Epic: Gary Bornstein and Yonatan Even of Cravath, Swaine & Moore For Apple: Gregory Garre and Roman Martinez of Latham & Watkins Read more: Apple, Visa and Mastercard win dismissal of merchant antitrust lawsuit over payment fees Epic Games settles lawsuit against Samsung over app controls Swiss privacy tech firm Proton sues Apple in US over app store rules Apple must face consumer lawsuit over iCloud storage, US judge rules

Tech Wrap July 24: iQOO Z10R, Qi2 25W standard, Google Photos AI features
iQOO Z10R launched. Qi2 25W charging standard. Google Photos AI feature. VSCO Capture app. YouTube Shorts Veo2 features. itel Super Guru 4G Max launched. AppleCare One plan announced. BS Tech New Delhi Chinese brand iQOO has added to its Z10 lineup in India by launching the iQOO Z10R. With this addition, the Z10 series now includes the iQOO Z10, Z10x, Z10 Lite, and Z10R. The latest model features a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage. It also offers a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has introduced Qi version 2.2.1, known as Qi2 25W, a next-gen wireless charging standard that supports speeds up to 25W. This is a step up from the earlier 15W cap of Qi2, bringing it closer to the performance of Apple's MagSafe system. Google is updating its Photos app with generative AI features that allow users to transform static images into video clips and stylised artwork. These updates are powered by Google's Veo 2 model, which also drives similar features in the Gemini app. VSCO has released an iPhone camera app named Capture, which brings its popular filters into the image-taking process. Unlike conventional apps that apply filters after capturing, Capture lets users preview and apply them in real time before clicking a photo or video. The app is available free on the App Store. Google is expanding image-to-video functionality to YouTube Shorts, enabling users to turn photos into video content. The new update also introduces a set of immersive AI effects and a creative space called AI Playground. According to YouTube, these tools are powered by Google's Veo 2 model. itel has launched the Super Guru 4G Max, a feature phone equipped with an AI assistant. Marketed as India's first AI-enabled feature phone, it supports voice commands for tasks such as reading messages and making calls. Apple has rolled out AppleCare One, a subscription plan costing $19.99/month that covers up to three Apple devices under a single policy. Unlike AppleCare+, which requires separate subscriptions, AppleCare One simplifies device protection. It is currently US-only, but may expand internationally. WhatsApp is testing a feature in its Android beta (v2.25.21.14) that enables users to schedule reminders for individual messages. As per WABetaInfo, this builds on an earlier feature that highlighted unread messages from frequently contacted users. The new update allows users to manually tag important messages and set alerts for them. According to Android Authority, Google may have unintentionally revealed the Pixel 10 series via a banner on the Play Store. The banner, which was later removed, displayed the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold models. Meta is rolling out new safety updates for teenagers and adult-managed child accounts on platforms like Instagram. These include enhanced context in direct messages for teen users, with some protections now extending to child accounts managed by adults. Google is expanding Gemini AI's reach to more smartwatches running Wear OS 4, says 9To5Google. Devices from brands like Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, OPPO, and Xiaomi will soon support Gemini, replacing Google Assistant and bringing enhanced AI capabilities. Apple and Google operate their own cloud ecosystems for storing photos and videos – iCloud Photos for Apple devices and Google Photos for Android users. While both platforms offer automatic backup and smart organisation features, the data stored on these cloud platforms cannot be synced directly. This creates a gap for users looking to switch platforms or consolidate their media into one service. Google's push into AI-powered search is reshaping the internet—and not in the way publishers or web creators might have hoped. A new study by the Pew Research Centre, which examined the online behaviour of 900 US adults, reveals that Google's AI Overviews, the automatically generated summaries now appearing in many search results, are drastically reducing the number of users who click through to traditional websites. India's edge data centre capacity is expected to expand significantly to 200-210 Megawatt (MW) by 2027, up from 60-70 MW in 2024, marking a 3x increase, driven by the proliferation of emerging technologies, said rating agency Icra.
