New iPhone cameras: looks or function?

Joseph Han | Friday, September 13, 2019

This past Tuesday was Apple’s annual September event, where the tech company revealed new cloud services, Apple Watches, iPads and, of course, iPhones. It was the new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro that got the most attention from people. It wasn’t because of a new design, nor was it because of new software. The new

Apple, please be more innovative

Joseph Han | Tuesday, January 29, 2019

Don’t get me wrong: Apple has never failed to disappoint me with their products and services. Unlike my prior experience with Windows laptops, Macbooks have been reliable and have never bothered me with any persistent updates or viruses. Although pricey, iPhones has provided me fluid user experience without any clutters and super slow lags that some

Rise of USB and death of Lightning cable

Joseph Han | Friday, November 2, 2018

When friends ask for the “iPhone charger,” we all know they are talking about the thin white Lightning cable that always gets tangled up in backpacks. It was the predecessor to the bulky 30-pin dock connector that started off with the original iPod and was re-engineered to be reversible, which made it more convenient than

Evolution of design and UX through iOS

Joseph Han | Wednesday, August 29, 2018

With iOS 12 getting debugged and finalized for public released, it has been interesting to see how iOS and its design element has changed over a decade since unveiling of the original iPhone. Before it was even called iOS, the operating system that powered iPhone was just simply called iPhone OS. Its user interface was

The iPhone bug

Joseph Han | Tuesday, February 20, 2018

While studying in the library last Thursday night, I decided to go on Reddit for a quick study break to look for any interesting news. I found something about an iOS bug that causes a crash when a certain Telugu character is sent to other devices through various apps ranging from the default Messages app

Response to North Korea

Joseph Han | Wednesday, November 1, 2017

This year has been a headway for North Korea with its nuclear weapons program. With over twenty missiles fired and an intercontinental ballistic missile near completion, the hermit state has become more threatening than ever. Over the previous years, the world’s reaction to North Korea’s hostile behavior has been relatively easy-going. It has been the

What’s the next big thing?

Joseph Han | Thursday, February 16, 2017

When I got back home for winter break, I went through a box of some of my childhood items and found my old fourth generation iPod Touch from my middle school days. I turned it back on and was immediately greeted by the old operating system, iOS 6.1.6. After using the iPod Touch for a

Living without jack isn’t that bad

Joseph Han | Monday, November 14, 2016

I have recently gotten the iPhone 7 Plus after returning my Galaxy Note 7 due to its explosive battery recall. Though it is an amazing device, the iPhone 7 Plus is subpar in some specifications compared to the Note 7, such as the screen, bezel size, Iris scanner, stylus capability and of course, the headphone jack.

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
