Recording your iPhone screen is an incredibly useful skill for creating tutorials, product demos, and more. With built-in screen recording capabilities, modern iPhones make capturing footage of your device’s display simple and straightforward. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the various methods you can use to record your iPhone’s screen in 2024 for tutorials, walkthroughs, and other video projects.

Use Built-In Screen Recording The easiest way to record your iPhone’s screen is to use the native screen recording feature built into iOS. Available since iOS 11, the built-in screen recorder allows you to capture high-quality footage of your display, complete with audio input and output.

To access the native screen recorder in iOS 16 and later:

  1. Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (newer iPhones) or up from the bottom edge of the screen (older iPhones).
  2. Long press on the screen recording icon. It looks like a solid circle inside a ring.
  3. Tap “Start Recording” and your iPhone will begin capturing video and audio of your display. A red timer will appear at the top of the screen indicating recording is in progress.
  4. To stop recording, open the Control Center again and tap the screen recording icon. Your iPhone will automatically save the video to your Photos app.

The built-in recorder allows you to capture your iPhone’s audio and video simultaneously with no third-party software required. For basic screen capturing needs, it’s the best option available in 2024.

Use Third-Party Apps If you need advanced screen recording capabilities beyond what iOS provides natively, third-party apps are available. Applications like ScreenRec allow you to record longer videos, export files in different formats, capture system audio, and more.

Here are some of the key features offered by advanced screen recording apps for iPhone:

  • Record for unlimited durations instead of just 5 minutes
  • Capture system audio and internal app sounds
  • Annotate videos with drawings and text
  • Trim and edit recordings after capturing
  • Export videos to MP4, MOV, GIF, and other formats
  • Save files to camera roll or cloud storage services
  • Simultaneously capture front and back camera footage
  • Mic and audio input/output controls

So if you need to customize and enhance your iPhone screen recordings in 2024, third-party recorder apps will deliver more options and flexibility.

Use a Mac as a Display Capture Device You can also use QuickTime Player on a Mac computer to record high-quality footage of your iPhone’s display. By connecting your iPhone to your Mac with a Lightning to USB cable, you can mirror your device’s screen and use QuickTime to capture a video.

Here are the steps to record your iPhone with QuickTime on a Mac:

  1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning to USB cable.
  2. Open QuickTime Player on your Mac. Select “File > New Movie Recording”.
  3. Next to the record button, click the down arrow icon.
  4. Choose your iPhone from the connected cameras list. Your iPhone’s display will now be mirrored to your Mac.
  5. Click the record button in QuickTime Player to start capturing footage of your iPhone’s screen.
  6. When finished, click the record button again to stop and save the video to your Mac’s storage.

Recording with QuickTime utilizes the processing power of your Mac to deliver smooth, high-fidelity iPhone screen recordings. You can then edit the videos further using video editing software on your computer.

Considerations for Recording iPhone Screen Here are some important factors to keep in mind when capturing footage of your iPhone’s display:

Video Quality Higher video quality requires more storage space and processing power. Balance visual fidelity with practical file size limits. iPhone’s default 1080p HD at 60fps offers good quality without overly large files.

Audio Input Ensure appropriate audio input levels if recording a voiceover narration. Use headphone mic or external USB mic for best quality.

Storage Space Screen recordings take up storage space quickly. Offload files from your iPhone camera roll to a computer or cloud service to free up space.

Battery Usage Prolonged screen recording sessions drain battery rapidly. Start recordings with battery at 100% or plugged into power when possible.

Legal Compliance Get permission before recording phone calls or capturing personal information. Understand local laws regarding recording consent.

By considering these key factors, you can optimize your iPhone screen recordings in 2024 for the best balance of quality, practicality and compliance.

Conclusion

Whether you need to demonstrate app usage, create video tutorials, or share visual information, recording your iPhone’s screen is easy with the right tools. Built-in iOS screen recording, third-party apps, and QuickTime capture on a Mac offer flexible approaches to capturing smooth, high-quality iPhone display footage. Just be sure to manage video quality, audio, storage utilization, battery drain and legal compliance. By following this guide, you’ll be prepared to record professional, share-ready iPhone tutorial videos, walkthroughs and more in 2024.

iPhone charger catches fire, teenager suffers burns https://phoneglide.com/iphone-charger-catches-fire-teenager-suffers-burns/ https://phoneglide.com/iphone-charger-catches-fire-teenager-suffers-burns/#respond Tue, 26 Mar 2024 02:11:18 +0000 https://phoneglide.com/iphone-charger-catches-fire-teenager-suffers-burns/ This is not something we have unheard of, however, a recent incident of an iPhone charger bursting into flames has sparked caution.

This is not something we have unheard of, however, a recent incident of an iPhone charger bursting into flames has sparked caution. A 17-year old girl named Amie from Birmingham, UK had just fallen asleep at 2 in the morning when the Lightning cable connected to her charging iPhone caught fire. She appears to have placed the smartphone right beside her and noticed flames on her blanket.

The flame then caught her face and caused minor but sore burns on her cheek. She rushed down to her mother to act upon the situation. Her mother put out the fire without the need for fire service.

Let’s understand all of this straight from her words as detailed it to the source of this report, Birmingham Mail:

I lay down for around five minutes to close my eyes to fall asleep…. (then) I could see flashing orange colours. I woke up and ran downstairs and shouted my mom.

“There was no need for the fire service to attend as my mom had managed to put the fire out herself.

“I would just like to spread the word to please make sure people take note – it could have been a lot worse.

Source: Birmingham Mail

It appears that she was using a charger from another brand however the lightning cable use an original Apple accessory. She urged users to refrain from charging their phones overnight. We believe the main issue here could be her wall socket or a third-party charging brick from a questionable brand considering she was using a genuine Apple charging cable.

Post the dangerous incident, Amie took over to Facebook to express her terrifying experience. She wrote:

So 2am this morning I was lying down as you do on my phone. Plugged in my charger and it set alight.

“My bed cover/duvet set on fire and also caught my face. This isn’t even a cheap charger, it’s an Apple charger. Please don’t go to bed and leave your phone charging overnight.

“If I was asleep this could have been a lot worse and this could have set my whole family home up with all my family in …

“Please be aware that this can happen to anyone and could be a lot worse. It’s dangerous.

Source: Birmingham Mail

Apple’s advice

Apple responded to this debacle by stating they take safety very seriously and advise users to follow safe charging practices. Apple currently is investigating this tragic occurrence and is in touch with her. One of the very important pieces of advice from Apple is to avoid charging the phone in poorly ventilated spaces or places where moisture is presently leading to a fire hazard.

The iPhone 14 series isn’t even here and the iPhone 15 rumors have already started to do rounds. Interestingly, as per a fresh new rumor, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to come without a SIM card slot in 2023.

The source, blogdoiphone which is a Brazilian blog claims that the physical SIM slot will make way for two eSIM in-built slots. Both eSIMs will be able to operate simultaneously. On the other hand, in countries, and regions where eSIM hasn’t taken off yet, we expect Apple to retain physical SIM versions of iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple planning to ditch the physical SIM slot is a precursor to a possible portless iPhone going forward. All in all, let’s take all this with a pinch of salt as 2023 is still pretty far away for now.

Later this year, Apple is expected to release the iPhone 13 lineup. And as usual and customary, leaks have been pouring down for quite a while now in anticipation of the next-gen flagship iPhone range. Having said that, popular tech Youtuber Unbox Therapy has come up with a new video in which he showcases the iPhone 13 Pro Max dummy/mockup unit. This has to be the most convincing iPhone mockup we have ever seen.

The dummy unit has a smaller notch as expected complete with all the Face ID components and camera module stacked inside the notch in a neat and tidy manner. Oh yes! the earpiece/speaker combo is situated at the top part of the device well outside the notch. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is brought up in the video for comparison with the notch being 34.62 mm wide vs 26.31 mm on the iPhone 13 Pro Max dummy unit. Isn’t that change significant? at least in the Apple world of things!

Left: iPhone 12 Pro Max. Right: iPhone 13 Pro Max mockup/dummy unit. Notice the wider camera island and thicker modules | Source: Unbox Therapy

Moving on, thickness has been ever so slightly increased over the current model and the same goes for the camera modules and island. Talking about thickness, this year we might witness a mini-LED display on the Pro range of iPhones (or just the Pro Max model) much like the recently released 12.9″ iPad Pro 2021. On that note, the display will bring in the long-awaited 120Hz refresh rate and may integrate the Touch ID, again reserved only for the Pro range of devices.

The mockup unit’s color looks like Apple’s Graphite paint job albeit considerably lighter in shade as opposed to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Other tidbits from the video confirm Apple’s isn’t going all-wireless, at least this year with the lightning port being retained at the bottom of the device.

Watch Unbox Therapy’s video

Watch the video for yourself to get a clear-cut picture of Apple’s upcoming flagship device. Also, as of writing this article, Unbox Therapy is giving away an iPhone 12 and a 12 mini in purple color to all subscribers (just subscribe to the channel, like the video, and put up a comment mentioning your Twitter handle to be eligible for a chance to win).

In a quite surprising move, Apple today put up a miracle by bringing a Self Service Repair program to all end-users of the brand. The program starting early next year will provide you access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and guides to help you repair iPhone on your own. Also, Mac devices are part of this new program.

The initial rollout of the Self Service Repair will be in the US only with additional countries being added to the list through 2022. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 will kick off the initiative with M1-equipped Mac devices to follow suit.

One can order components that are swapped out commonly such as the display, camera, and battery. More parts will be available throughout the program roll-out process.

Apple’s Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams on the Self Service Repair initiative said the customers will now get access to genuine parts now giving them choice than ever before. In addition to doubling down on authorized Apple repair locations, customers can now enjoy repairs themselves.

Creating greater access to Apple genuine parts gives our customers even more choice if a repair is needed.

In the past three years, Apple has nearly doubled the number of service locations with access to Apple genuine parts, tools, and training, and now we’re providing an option for those who wish to complete their own repairs.

Apple advises reviewing the Apple Repair Manual for the device they are looking to perform repairs on to ensure the best repair experience.

For buying the necessary parts and components, customers will have to go to the Apple Self Service Repair Online Store and place an order. Over 200 parts and tools will be available for purchase. Those who return the replaced parts to Apple will be eligible to receive credit towards their parts purchase.

Apple recommends the repair be carried by individuals who strictly know what they are doing. As in, it’s better to get your hands dirty only if you have experience and knowledge with electronic repairs.

Apple, 11 years ago introduced iOS 4 at the WWDC 2010 event. Steve Jobs took to the stage excited revealing the iconic operating system that booted the first-ever iPad and then the legendary iPhone 4. Also, starting iOS 4, the Cupertino giant renamed the then iPhoneOS to iOS as part of the same expanding to the original iPad beyond just the iPhone. Speaking of which, a new app has emerged that goes by an apt name.

Meet OldOS. OldOS app by developer Zane brings the iOS 4 operating system to any iPhone running iOS 14 and later in the form of a simple iPhone application. Take a look at a few screenshots as you read.

Today is Launch Day 🚀

Introducing OldOS — iOS 4 beautifully rebuilt in SwiftUI.

GUIDE: How to install iOS 15, iPadOS 15 Developer Beta for free.

1. Skeuomorphism is timeless!

Skeuomorphism is timeless!

As you can see above, OldOS to its best ability replicates the good old iOS 4 experience and it should because it’s build using SwiftUI. Henceforth, what we get to feel here is the fluidity and clarity of the user interface as it is. For now, the default system apps work here provided you grant all of the permissions OldOS asks for but there’s still a lot of bug fixing and hiccups to be sorted out.

The iPhone 4 home button has been provided here complete with haptic feedback to simulate a real click, Spotlight search appears to be working only for the system apps. The Safari browser appears to be doing its job too and we just went down memory lane with this one.

And yes, the iPod app is here but options like Albums, Genres for example do not work at all. Also, we couldn’t find the beautiful CoverFlow interface upon rotating the iPhone. However, keep in mind this app is currently in its early beta stage and a lot of developments are to come over time.

The current iOS 15 design practically dates back to 2013 when Apple decided to steer away from the skeuomorphic design and switch to a flat and simpler look and feel with iOS 7. We have used pre-iOS 7 versions and understand its depth and the thought that has gone into creating a pixel-perfect user interface. We really miss the good old iOS days. For those who never got to experience the timeless iOS 4 design, well, now you may have a chance.

RELATED: iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 are here: Key features.

Test run OldOS

OldOS is available on Apple’s beta testing TestFlight program. So hurry up and register via your iPhone to get your chance to test the app and help in its development process. Also, the app is completely open-source and its source code is on GitHub.

Thank you for reading!

The iPhone 13 isn’t even out yet and voila, we are already getting to see the iPhone 14 of 2022 leak in all its glory. Yes, one year in advance! Renowned tipster Jon Prosser from FrontPageTech released a video showcasing the design of the iPhone 14 ahead of Apple‘s California streaming event.

According to Prosser, he claims to have witnessed the real-life pictures and schematics from an unnamed source of the iPhone 14 Pro Max without a camera bump due to a thicker design. To better protect his source, he in collaboration with designer Ian Zelbo conceptualized the iPhone 14 Pro Max renders based on his observations. And boy, does the phone look sweet!

GET: Apple California streaming wallpaper in 6K+ resolution

iphone-14-pro-max-leak-jon-prosser-7317364

As you can see, the design is bringing back the benchmark in smartphone design i.e the iPhone 4 is making a modern comeback in the form of the iPhone 14 in 2022. With that said, remember the modern iteration of the iPhone 4 version from LetsGoDigital we showed months ago?

Anyways, moving on, here, the squared-off edges along with the round volume button are back in form. The camera bump will be gone for good because of a thicker design and the use of titanium for the mid-frame instead of stainless steel.

Prosser expects an increase in battery capacity too. Speaking of which, the back glass panel sits on top of the frame again like on the iPhone 4. Going towards the bottom, the lightning port is still intact flanked by a speaker grille that looks like the one on the iPhone 4.

Finally, let’s get to the focal point, the screen. The display will be of the punch-hole variety with the notch being phased out and the Face ID system being seated under the display. That’s all, let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy your day!

What Apple could never, Ken Pillonel. a robotics engineering student did and answered this one question “Will the iPhone use USB-C?”. Pilloner created waves when he made the world’s first USB-C-equipped iPhone (more on that in a bit). Eventually, Pilloner put up the iPhone X for auction on eBay last week. Over time, the bidding price reached $85,000 over the week and finally sold on Thursday upon a final bid of $86,001.

Advertisementsusb-c-iphone-x-sold-on-ebay-5295180 World’s first iPhone with USB-C port sells for a whopping $86,001

This all started back in October when Pillonel shared glimpses of his months of research and hard work via a Shorts video (linked above) on his Youtube Channel. It appears to be that he reverse-engineered Apple’s C94 Lightning connector and in turn custom-made a PCB with a female USB-C port. All of this was made to fit into the iPhone to be able to get to the final solution.

Want to learn more? Watch Pillonel’s video that details the project from start to finish. The iPhone X utilized for the project was a pre-owned 64GB unit purchased off eBay itself.

The modified iPhone as advised by Pillonel should not be used as a daily phone, erased or factory reset to avoid any potential issues. The project is open source and details of the same can be accessed on GitHub for those on a mission to build a USB-C iPhone. Also, stay tuned for a USB-C-equipped AirPods charging case from Pillonel in the near future.

Apple‘s next-generation iPhone 13 lineup is expected to launch this fall in September along with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Speaking of which, as customary as it is, we all have been hearing and seeing a lot of rumors with regards to the design of the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. With that said, the popular Apple news outlet MacRumors has got its hands on the dummy units of the entire iPhone 13 series.

As you saw in the video released by the blog, the vanilla iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini will sport a dual-camera system and a new camera layout. The camera units are now diagonally placed with the flash and microphone towards the top and bottom respectively. The silent toggle switch and volume buttons on the vanilla iPhone 13 have been shifted down ever so slightly.

The rumored smaller notch can’t be seen here on the dummy units, however, the earpiece and camera have been relocated which further cements the rumors of a new smaller notch making it to reality.

As for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro max, we can see much larger camera modules compared to the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. And yes, the notch throughout the iPhone 13 line will be smaller with the new earpiece and camera placement as mentioned earlier.

What are your thoughts about this new design change Apple’s expected to bring in this fall? Are you in favor of the changes or do feel that the design feels quite tired? Let us know in the comments section below. Thank you for reading!

GUIDE: How to install iOS 15, iPadOS 15 Developer Beta for free.

1. Skeuomorphism is timeless!

Skeuomorphism is timeless!

As you can see above, OldOS to its best ability replicates the good old iOS 4 experience and it should because it’s build using SwiftUI. Henceforth, what we get to feel here is the fluidity and clarity of the user interface as it is. For now, the default system apps work here provided you grant all of the permissions OldOS asks for but there’s still a lot of bug fixing and hiccups to be sorted out.

The iPhone 4 home button has been provided here complete with haptic feedback to simulate a real click, Spotlight search appears to be working only for the system apps. The Safari browser appears to be doing its job too and we just went down memory lane with this one.

And yes, the iPod app is here but options like Albums, Genres for example do not work at all. Also, we couldn’t find the beautiful CoverFlow interface upon rotating the iPhone. However, keep in mind this app is currently in its early beta stage and a lot of developments are to come over time.

The current iOS 15 design practically dates back to 2013 when Apple decided to steer away from the skeuomorphic design and switch to a flat and simpler look and feel with iOS 7. We have used pre-iOS 7 versions and understand its depth and the thought that has gone into creating a pixel-perfect user interface. We really miss the good old iOS days. For those who never got to experience the timeless iOS 4 design, well, now you may have a chance.
