Apple iPhone 13 Pro confirmed to use 120Hz OLED panel

On April 9, a new report from DigiTimes further confirmed the previous leaked information related to the iPhone 13 Pro series-this model will use Samsung’s 120Hz LTPO OLED panel. Earlier news broke that Samsung and LG Display will provide Apple LTPO OLED panels for the upcoming iPhone.
   Both display manufacturers are currently converting their LTPS display production lines to LTPO OLED panels, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2021. This conversion will lead to a decline in its production capacity. In addition, BOE has also established a dedicated production line for Apple and is testing the iPhone’s LTPO panel.

   The report further added that the iPhone 13 Pro product line will reduce power consumption by as much as 20%, which is likely to be attributed to the LTPO OLED panel and the more efficient A15 chip. It is rumored that Apple will use 120Hz LTPO OLED panels on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max this year, while the non-Pro iPhone 13 models will continue to use 60Hz OLED panels. Currently, Samsung has used 120Hz LTPO OLED panels on its flagship products Galaxy S21 and Note 20 Ultra devices.
  It is expected that the use of the LTPO panel will enable Apple to dynamically adjust the refresh rate of the iPhone 13 Pro display to increase battery life, which will be similar to the ProMotion technology Apple has used in the iPad Pro series. In addition to using the 120Hz LTPO OLED panel, Apple is expected to use a thinner notch on the iPhone 13 series. There are rumors that the new version of the iPhone will also undergo other changes, including a faster and more efficient 5G modem, a larger battery, and an improved ultra-wide-angle camera.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

Apple may have booked TSMC’s 4nm process capacity and is expected to be used in Mac chips

According to media reports on April 8,Apple has booked TSMC’s 4nm process capacity, and the first product is expected to be a Mac chip. According to the report, Apple is the main customer of TSMC’s advanced chip process technology. TSMC’s current 5nm process’s main customer is Apple, and most of the first wave of 3nm process production capacity will also be reserved for Apple.

   TSMC CEO Wei Zhejia said last year that the 4nm process will be launched and mass production is planned for 2022. The 4nm process will be compatible with the design rules of the 5nm process and has a cost-effective advantage over the 5nm process. But it is worth noting that some foreign media recently quoted sources from foundry tool suppliers that TSMC’s 4nm process is expected to measure production in the four seasons of this year, ahead of the original plan.
   In addition, TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin previously revealed at the event that TSMC’s 3nm and future major process nodes will be launched as scheduled and enter production, even ahead of expectations. The 3nm process is expected to be trial-produced in the second half of this year, and to enter mass production in the second half of next year. Compared with 5nm, the logic density of the 3nm process is increased by 1.7 times, the computing speed is increased by 11%, and the computing power consumption is reduced by 27%.
   It is reported that TSMC plans to start mass production of A15 chips as planned at the end of May, using an enhanced 5nm process. According to Apple’s past rhythm, this chip will be used in the iPhone13 series.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

Apple’s new privacy policy will be launched soon: launched by the new version of iOS 14.5

Although companies such as Facebook believe that Apple’s new privacy policy will harm advertisers’ income, Apple’s determination to promote its new privacy policy has not changed. According to the latest news, Apple recently announced that it will implement a new privacy collection user disclosure and permission policy in the next few weeks. In other words, with the arrival of the iOS 14.5 operating system, these notifications will become mandatory requirements.

   Apple’s new privacy function strives to solve the privacy concerns of users. In the future, when users install the APP, the iOS system will pop up a warning message. Some experts believe that this kind of warning message may cause many users to refuse permission, so that advertisers will not be able to obtain users’ personal information.
   But Apple said that Apple will provide developers with alternative advertising tools that allow advertisers who place app install ads to see how many users have installed apps after ad campaigns without revealing personal user information. In addition, there is another tool called “Private Click Management” that can also provide advertisers with relevant information, but does not disclose individual user data.
   It is worth noting that this year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2021) will be held from June 7th to 11th, when the iOS 15 system will be released, and the new system is expected to continue this privacy policy.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

Can iPhone typing errors be corrected instantly? This is Apple’s new patent

The virtual keyboard used in mobile phones is not large and the keystroke is short, so it is easy to make mistakes when typing. Perhaps Apple’s new patent can solve this problem. According to news from cnBeta.COM, Apple has recently obtained a patent that can handle typing errors and can instantly delete those wrong letters and keep the correct letters.

   It is understood that Apple’s patent is called “Smart Erasing Typing Errors”. At present, if the user makes a typing mistake, the wrong letter can be deleted. In addition, this patent also wants to speed up typing by quickly deleting part of the wrong words. If the user types the first few letters correctly, the phone can automatically delete everything except these letters. In other words, if the user makes a typing mistake, there is no need to delete the entire word or click delete multiple times. The iPhone will move the cursor back after the last correct letter, and then erase the remaining part of the word error.
Apple also said that after the user enters a character sequence, this technology will identify errors in the middle of the character sequence and automatically correct it. At present, users can correct the entire character sequence through the auto-correction function, and the auto-correction function sometimes cannot provide replacement words that accurately reflect the user’s intention to input. This technology allows users to effectively delete characters corresponding to input errors and restart/continue inputting characters.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery
