Apple's two failed iPhones in 2025

By
The interest in the iPhone 17 series is high, particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, which are outselling their predecessors. The iPhone Air has a different tale to tell; sales haven't been great, with reports showing low demand and major production cuts.  In contrast to the heavily publicized flop of the iPhone Air, there hasn't been much info on how the iPhone 16e is doing in sales. Early reports suggested it was doing pretty well, but it seems that wasn't up to Apple's standards.  Sales of the iPhone 16e and iPhone Air aren't meeting Apple's expectations, as per info from leaker Fixed Focus Digital (source in Chinese). While no exact figures were shared, the leaker suggests that Apple's effort to launch a popular, budget-friendly iPhone hasn't succeeded. Even with the challenges, Apple is still set to roll out successors for both models. The iPhone 17e is anticipated to launch on time in spring 2026, whereas the iPhone Air ...

The Complete Process on How to Root HTC One M7

By
This is the step by step procedure on how to root the HTC One as also formerly known as M7. This device is powered with quad-core 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor (APQ8064T), 2 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of storage. The rooting process is as easy as it gets for advanced or experienced users like the most of us from XDA-developers but a bit risky on some part for beginners for this includes unlocking the bootloader, flashing recovery and then install the root image.

This root method is for the current HTC One OS version, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Any future updates like Android 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 might get some changes and the possibilities that this root will not tend to work anymore.
HTC One
HTC One, HTC's flagship device for 2013. The device features a powerful quad-core 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor (APQ8064T), 2 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of storage, 1080p Super LCD 3 display with 468 ppi, a 4 MP “Ultrapixel” camera with an f/2 lens and large pixels, and a 2300 mAh battery. All this is housed in a sleek, 9.3 mm all-aluminum enclosure that feels thin due to its tapered edges and sub-4 mm minimum thickness

Warning! Any Rooting process will void the warranty of your device. You can only retain it if you unroot or restore your device to it's original system settings.  Proceed with extra precautions.
