Some iPhone 12 performance drops after iOS 14.5.1 system update

Recently, Apple pushed the official version of iOS 14.5.1, this time the updated version is 18E212. The update content shows that this update fixes some errors and also provides important security updates. It is recommended for all users to install. However, after some netizens updated the latest system, they found that the phone seems to have performance degradation. The performance of iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 after updating the latest version is not as good as the iPhone XR released many years ago.

   The phenomenon of weakened performance mainly appears in the aspect of video rendering. Many netizens have found that the iPhone XR has faster video rendering speed compared with the updated iPhone 11. According to media reports, Apple also imposed a CPU limit on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 during the iOS 14.5.1 system update, which caused the running speed of these two devices to slow down. And this limitation has nothing to do with the heat generation of the mobile phone. Even if it is tested in a low temperature environment, the result is that the performance of iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 is still greatly reduced.

   In April 2021, according to media reports, Apple will compensate 150,000 Chilean users with US$3.4 million for being sued for the slowing down of the old iPhone’s system update. In response to this matter, Apple specifically apologized to affected users and reduced the cost of replacing the mobile phone battery from $79 to $29.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

Huawei P50 Pro + new renderings exposed, four curved surfaces + rear Leica five cameras

On May 7, the rendering of the new version of Huawei P50 Pro+ was exposed. The overall design idea is basically the same as that of the previously exposed version, but the lens arrangement is different, and a full five cameras are installed on the rear. However, judging from Huawei’s previous flagship mobile phone configuration, the rear five-camera is more in line with the positioning of the “super big cup”.

Huawei P50 Pro+ adopts an oval lens module. Three cameras are placed in the upper part and two cameras are placed in the lower part. One of them is a periscope camera for ultra-telephoto shooting. It was previously revealed that this phone will support continuous light change and improve the image quality and filming rate of ultra-telephoto. The five cameras are a 50-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, a 3x zoom lens, a 10x zoom lens, and a TOF lens, as well as a color temperature sensor.

  The front of the phone continues the four-curved screens of the previous P40 Pro and Pro+ versions, but the curvature is smaller and closer to the micro-curved screens popular this year, using centered punching. However, the P series is a product line with powerful imaging genes, so even if the center punch is really used, there is still a question mark whether the aperture is really as shown in the rendering for the quality of the front camera.
   It is reported that the Huawei P50 series will cover three models, namely P50, P50 Pro and P50 Pro+. Due to complex factors, the series of mobile phones may be postponed to the end of June.

Apple implements a new privacy policy and Google has followed up! Or officially launched in 2022

Apple’s privacy policy has repeatedly encountered resistance because it touches the interests of advertisers. But now users are paying more and more attention to their privacy. Therefore, it is a future trend for developers to transparently collect user information. Apple sees this, and Google is the same.

   According to reports, Google recently announced that it will launch a new feature called “Safety section” on the Play Store, similar to the privacy label on iOS. This feature allows Android users to see what data the developer has collected and shared, and can also inform more security and privacy information. Google said that the feature will be tested this summer and is expected to be officially launched in 2022.
Specifically, this function of Google Play will tell users a lot of information, such as whether the App encrypts data, whether it complies with Google Family and Children Policy, etc., and whether the user has the right to choose information sharing, and whether the user has the right to uninstall the App Request to delete data, etc. Furthermore, Google will ask developers to inform whether they have collected personal information (such as name and email address), whether they have collected information from mobile phones, and whether they have collected users’ precise addresses, media files, and address book information.
   However, Google’s privacy policy will not be as strict as Apple, after all, it still needs to rely on advertising revenue.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery
