No, your iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S30 does not need a charger

The leak indicates that both Apple and Samsung are preparing to sell smartphones, such as the rumored iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S30, which have no packaging box or charging cable. Instead, these companies may require you to purchase a separate charger or use existing technology already at home. It turns out that this is split, because any manufacturer will lose a key part of its technology, but I believe this is the right approach. I think that manufacturers have taken more responsibility for the waste generated by ordinary people buying new technologies. Throwing unnecessary accessories into the box is a bigger step in bending electronic waste and exceeds your expectations. . According to trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 12 will not be equipped with EarPods headphones (cheap wired headphones that you can get for free), nor will it land in the box later this year. Shortly after the iPhone 12 rumors, another report indicated that Samsung is considering whether to adopt so...

This unbeatable iPhone 11 deal comes with a free Apple Watch

Yes, you did read it correctly. This great new iPhone 11 deal comes with a free Apple Watch. Granted, it's not the latest version of the best-selling smartwatch, but the Series 3, but that means you will still get built-in GPS to track your outdoor runs, bike rides, and more. You can also stream music from your wrist to wireless headphones and reply to text. However, although the free Apple Watch may not be the latest model, the smartphone is definitely the latest model. Apple introduced the iPhone 11 in September. It includes an ultra-wide-angle camera-this is the first time a fisheye lens has been bundled with an Apple smartphone. So during your next city vacation, you don't have to walk a mile or so to squeeze the top of a skyscraper into all your photos. The front camera has a wider field of view, a faster processor, more durable glass, and is one of the largest batteries on the iPhone. There are many places worth seeing here. This is definitely an upgrade worthy product...

Apple's cheap iPhone may be released soon and this is how it looks

March is only a few weeks away from us, which means that Apple should probably release some shiny new devices. The American technology company is known for its keynote speeches in the spring, and there are many signs that it won't change in 2020. In fact, a report from the German website iPhone-ticker.de speculated that March 31st (Tuesday) would be the date Apple fans want to appear in the diary. That's obviously not out of reach, but what will Apple really reveal in this rumor? Of course, the US company never revealed anything in advance, but many hope to release updates to the popular iPhone SE. The cheap phone maker hasn't updated in years, and many hope that the lower-priced iPhone will eventually return to the store. Apple's current new smartphones start at £ 729, so those who can't use the iPhone 11 or the flagship iPhone 11 Pro will definitely love this budget model. It's unclear what upgrades the device may undergo, but some new pictures originally...

Apple just proved that iPhone is more popular than Galaxy S10 and P30 Pro

According to the latest data from Strategy Analytics, Apple was the world's largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter of 2019. Assuming the data is accurate, this means that the iPhone is more popular than any product released by Samsung or Huawei, including the Galaxy S10 and P30 series. The US tech giant is said to account for 18.9% of the global smartphone market in the fourth quarter of 2019, up from 17.5% in the same period last year. In contrast, Samsung has 18.4% market share, and Huawei has 15% market share. Chinese technology giants Xiaomi and Oppo entered the top five with 8.8% and 8.1% respectively. According to Strategy Analytics, Apple also shipped the most smartphones. Cupertino sold 70.7 million iPhones from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. It is reported that Samsung has sold 68.8 million smartphones, and Huawei ranked third with 56 million during this period. Xiaomi and Oppo once again ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. It is said that Xiaomi has s...

iPad enters the 10th era, Apple's iPhone and services business impressed

Although discussions around Apple in recent months have focused on services, the iPhone and iPad have caused the biggest sensation this week. In the past few days, the company has ushered in the 10th anniversary of the birth of the iPad, and its latest quarter revenue has increased by 9% to $ 91.8 billion. After several years of declining sales, the iPhone has been reborn. However, Apple is unlikely to end this week's work without bad news. In a court ruling this week, a jury ruled that Apple paid California Institute of Technology $ 830 million for violating the university's patent. Apple's first fiscal quarter (as of December 28) was a big quarter. The company's $ 91.8 billion in sales exceeded Wall Street's forecast of $ 88.4 billion and easily surpassed $ 84.3 billion in revenue for the same period last year. Profit also rose from $ 4.18 in the same period last year to $ 4.99 per share. Apple's recent quarter sales growth was largely driven by the reviva...

Why use iPhone SE2

Back in 2016, Apple shocked everyone with the $ 399 iPhone SE. Suddenly, we have an iPhone that more people can afford, but it's still worth the Apple logo. At that time, with the breakthrough of iPhone 6 Plus, mobile phones became bigger and bigger. It also breaks the line of how much people are willing to pay for a phone call. Now is 2020, and many of these trends are reappearing. The phone is still getting bigger. The iPhone has broken the thousand-dollar mark. The difference now is that cheaper phones have become popular. There is more competition that may keep Apple away from competition. There doesn't seem to be a better time for Apple. This is Apple's first budget device that costs about half of a standard iPhone, which starts at $ 649. Apple made a wise sacrifice, which brought the price down. For most people keen to appreciate iOS, these changes are painless. It removes 3D touch, and most iPhone users today are dealing with this issue. The iPhone SE also did not ...

Facebook blames Apple for Jeff Bezos' iPhone Hack via WhatsApp

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' iPhone was reportedly hacked through messages he received via WhatsApp. A Facebook executive said the incident revealed a security hole in the smartphone operating system, not the messaging app itself. Facebook Vice President Nicola Mendelsohn told Bloomberg in a comment on the widely reported incident that the hacking of the Bezos iPhone only showed that "some Potential potential vulnerabilities in the phone's actual operating system. " Bezos' iPhone may have been hacked after receiving a message via Facebook-owned WhatsApp. A 2019 report from FTI Consulting revealed that the news came from Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, also known as MBS. The message from MBS contains only 4.22MB of video. Bezos's iPhone began exporting data within hours of receiving the message. Large-scale data breaches are unauthorized and continue for months. Investigators investigating the incident noted that Bezos' smartphones began sendin...

Apple happy with strong sales of iPhone 11

Apple's outstanding performance in its latest earnings report has "buoyed investors and company management." Apple's financial results show that although sales in Japan have indeed declined, sales in all regions of the world, including China, have experienced growth. But Apple's strong performance comes amid concerns that China's deadly coronavirus outbreak could affect iPhone production, including reports that Apple hopes to boost sales in emerging markets with this new budget-conscious smartphone. Apple certainly benefited from sales during the Christmas holiday, but it seems consumers have responded well to the iPhone 11 series, despite the disappointment of not having any 5G features when it launched in September. Judging from Apple's financial situation, as of the first quarter on December 28, Apple reported a net profit of $ 22.2 billion, higher than $ 19.9 billion in the same period last year. In terms of revenue, there was also good news. S...

iPhone SE 2 may be the iPhone 9 we really want

The reason why people have been eagerly waiting for the iPhone SE 2 is to foretell a new era of the best features of iOS and iPhone at low prices. But people also like the iPhone SE's original home button, and its Touch ID. According to well-known leaker Evan Blass, the forthcoming "New Year iPhone 2020" (assuming iPhone SE 2) will retain the home button, and we have no reason to doubt this. But given its investment in using Face ID for facial recognition, will Apple make a new phone with a low-tech verification method? We doubt Blass's lack of intelligence and reliable records. That's right, Apple is still producing the iPhone 8 for home use, but the phone debuted in 2017 and is now sold as a budget model. However, Apple is likely to replace the 8 with this new iPhone SE 2 (or whatever it is eventually called)-meaning that the company actually has a clean choice. Apple Corp. has explicitly chosen not to develop an in-screen fingerprint sensor, which is differ...

Stunning iPhone 12 render showing gorgeous flat edge design

New detailed 3D renderings have been made that allow us to see in high resolution what Apple may be doing on its next premium iPhone. There are rumors that Apple's next flagship iPhone will have a flat edge similar to the iPad Pro, but far from the rounded edges used in the iPhone 6. If the guess is correct, it will be Apple's new direction. Or-technically-back to the old direction. Prior to iPhone 6, and in all subsequent phones, Apple used this method for frame / chassis design in the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5s (reused in iPhone SE). It can be said that the flat edges make the ergonomics of the mobile phone less than that of the round frame, but it is undeniable that having clear and clear lines will bring certain visual appeal. It's also worth noting that the notch is small and the bezel around the display is thin: it doesn't actually exist. We're not sure if Apple is capable of producing such slim edges on the display, but we want to see the same effect. To...

New iPhone brings strong profits to Apple

With the help of an old friend iPhone, Apple's profits have grown for the first time in a year. Sales of Apple's flagship products have fallen sharply over the past year, but on Tuesday, Apple said that iPhone revenue had once again grown. The company said that customers have invested heavily in its latest models, and iPhone sales in the most recent quarter increased by 7.7% over the same period last year to nearly $ 56 billion. This increase helped Apple's profit grow 11.4% to $ 22.3 billion. These numbers easily exceeded Wall Street expectations, which is welcome news for Apple investors. Over the past year, Apple investors have seen Apple's usually strong growth suddenly disappear. Apple announced four consecutive quarters of shrinking profits before Tuesday, the longest since 2016. In an interview, Luca Maestri, Apple's chief financial officer, said demand for Apple's latest iPhone (the iPhone 11 series released in September) exceeded expectations. He...

How to turn off Apple's location tracking U1 chip in iPhone 11 and 11 Pro

Apple's iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro both uniquely use the new U1 chip, but some users are not satisfied with it. To appease them and comply with new regulations in some countries, Apple now offers iPhone 11 owners the opportunity to disable the chip. U1 is Apple's new chip, which allows its latest iPhone model (or any U1-equipped device) to detect its exact location relative to other devices in the same room. U1 joins other "dedicated" chips developed by Apple, such as the updated H1 chip in W1 and AirPods. Each chip has its own dedicated task to help Apple devices work more efficiently and integrate better. Pocket-lint has an interpreter on the U1 chip here, but all in all: it uses a technology called ultra-wideband (UWB) to determine location and spatial awareness. iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro currently use this system to enhance Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and AirDrop. Some users have complained about how the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro equipped with U1 t...

Everything we know about the iPhone 12 series so far

This year will be a busy year for the iPhone. There are rumors that Apple is preparing a new low-cost iPhone to be released in March and four different iPhone 12 variants to be released in September. Read on to know all the specifications, features, and design details about the iPhone 12 we know so far. If you yearn for the iPhone 4, then 2020 may be the year for you. We expect the iPhone 12 to mark the return of tablet-like design, with reports that the device will be very similar to the iPhone 4. Reliable Apple analyst Guo Ming Ming said that this will be part of a major iPhone case redesign. 12 Kuo believes that the iPhone 12 will still have a curved glass edge around the display like the iPhone 11. The analyst mentioned 2 / 2.5D glass in various reports on the 2020 iPhone series. Currently, the iPhone 11 Pro has a hybrid design between the display glass and stainless steel edges. This is different from the iPhone 4, the sides of the iPhone 4 are completely square. The supply cha...

Why statisticians don't think your iPhone is more expensive than you

One of our favorite things to write for FT Alphaville is that reader reviews often lead us to look at the topics we write from a completely different perspective. With that in mind, we want to focus on responding to last week's post about the central bank's perception that the gap between inflation and public behavior is widening. Some readers have argued that statisticians look at the cost of technological progress differently from you or me when measuring prices. Compared to last year's model, Joe Volkswagen may pay more for this year's iPhone, with pure inflation, while statisticians will reflect part of the increase as a manifestation of innovation (for example, better cameras), And discounted for this. Although the price is higher, this usually leads to higher prices for new but better quality products, which are recorded as deflation. We also consider it worthy of further investigation, so for most of Friday, we have carefully studied the UK National Bureau of...

New iPhone SE 2 price must be very low to remain practical in 2020

When the iPhone SE was released in 2016, it was fresh air for many phone fans. The "cheap phone" market is in a tragic state because you can't afford to buy a lot of great phones without spending money, but Apple has launched a phone that offers significant features at a relatively low price. Many hope Apple will repeat this with the iPhone SE 2 expected to launch in March 2020, but due to recent price leaks, we are concerned that Apple will not be able to replicate the success of the iPhone SE. According to the latest leaked information, the iPhone SE 2 will be priced at $ 399, and due to Apple's pricing practices, we expect prices in the UK and Australia to be £ 379 and $ 679, respectively. Of course, this means it costs exactly the same as its predecessor, but we think Apple needs to actively reduce costs to stay competitive in 2020, and one of the reasons is. Back when the iPhone SE was launched, there were few cheap phones on the market that could buy good pr...

How to turn iPhone into Google Security Key

Google recently revealed that by making your phone equivalent to a button, you can give iPhone users the same security as their Android brothers. No longer need to deal with SMS code ... there is only one Google app on the phone. Given that you have to buy a physical key to get the same level of protection, all you need now is the Google Smart Lock app. That's all you need to know to get started.

Apple iPhone SE 2 may enter mass production in February and launch in March

Apple's next low-cost iPhone-commonly called the iPhone SE 2-is expected to begin mass production as soon as February 2020. Citing sources familiar with Apple's product release schedule, a new report said the manufacturer plans to launch the phone next March 2020. The report comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, and the source had high credibility when it disclosed Apple's plans in advance. As we have heard previously from various sources and leaks, the plan seems to be launching a low-cost phone that looks a lot like the iPhone 8 in 2017 and includes a Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the front. This means that the phone is unlikely to get Face ID facial recognition and has a fairly large bezel above and below the front display. The pricing of the iPhone SE 2 still has problems, especially-the price of the iPhone 8 (a phone that Apple is still selling). If its price reaches below the expected $ 400, but still has a more modern and powerful processor than the $ 450 iP...

5G is coming to Apple's iPhone 12, which may be bigger than we think

About two years ago, there was a lot of hype claiming that 2019 would be the year for 5G to take over and give us fast connection capabilities. But this is not exactly the case. Partly due to the uneven 5G coverage-which has improved over the past few months-only a few 5G-enabled devices are available. It turns out that there is growing evidence that the 5G revolution may actually begin this year. In fact, a new report from Gartner states that global device shipments will actually increase by 0.9% in 2020 due to the advent of 5G equipment. This may seem trivial, but it is different from previous years. The reason for the decline in mobile phone sales in previous years is that users have been using the device longer than before. Gartner senior research executive said: "2020 will witness a slight recovery in the market." "Improved availability of 5G mobile phones will promote mobile phone replacement, which will lead to global device shipments to resume growth in 2020....

New low-cost iPhone will begin mass production in February

People familiar with the matter said that Apple's suppliers plan to begin assembling new low-cost iPhones in February as the company hopes to address a wider range of the global smartphone market before launching 5G phones later this year. A person familiar with the matter said that the Cupertino, California-based company is expected to officially launch the new phone as early as March. People familiar with the matter added that the assembly of the new phone will be split by Hon Hai Precision Industry, Pegatron and Wistron. This will be the first low-cost iPhone model since the iPhone SE. According to Bloomberg, it will be similar to the iPhone 8 in 2017 and will be equipped with a 4.7-inch screen. The iPhone 8 is still on the market and currently costs $ 449, and Apple sold the iPhone SE for $ 399 when it launched the iPhone SE in 2016. New phones are expected to have Touch ID built into the home screen buttons, reusing mature Apple technology instead of choosing to display a f...

iPhone 12 alert shows problematic next new design

Apple's iPhone 12 series really excites you. This is the company's largest iPhone overhaul in history. But there is a problem, and according to what we have learned, the situation is getting worse. Apple's 2020 iPhone has design issues. Internally, they have undergone a series of major upgrades, while externally, they look frustrating. Now, the highly respected Japanese website Mac Otakara revealed that the new model may be more familiar than anyone wants, while also making surprising changes that will attract attention. Mac Otakara, citing information from Chinese Apple suppliers, reiterates what we know: the iPhone 12 series will be similar to the iPhone 11 series and expanded to the iPhone XS series and iPhoneX. But Mac Otakara goes a step further, revealing that the bezels of the new iPhone will also remain essentially the same (although competitors go further), and they will also become thinner, in line with the company's recent increase in thickness to increase ...
