Apps are an essential element on smartphones, and we travel between various apps every day to obtain and share massive amounts of information. So, do you know what are the most popular apps in the world right now? A few days ago, Sensor Tower store intelligence released the latest data, and Douyin and its overseas version of TikTok performed quite well!

Sensor Tower information shows that in January 2022, Douyin and its overseas version of TikTok will become the champion of the global mobile application (non-game) download list with nearly 67 million downloads, an increase of 7.1% compared with January 2021. Among them, the download volume of Douyin accounted for 14.7%, and the download volume of TikTok in the US market accounted for 10.7%.

The complete list of the top 10 most popular mobile apps by downloads in the world is shown in the figure above. Instagram ranked second with more than 57 million downloads, an increase of 32.3% compared to January last year. It is reported that India is the largest market for the app downloads, accounting for 35.4%, followed by Brazil, accounting for 6.2%. In addition, the other 3 apps in the top five are Facebook, WhatsApp and Shopee in order, and apps such as ZOOM and CapCut also successfully made the list.
It is reported that the number of downloads only counts the App Store and Google Play, excluding third-party Android markets in China and other regions.

Earlier, there was news from the supply chain that the iPhone 14 series has entered the trial production stage, and many manufacturers have also received relevant orders. According to the latest news from the supply chain, the iPhone 14 series will be released in September this year, and the current design has been basically finalized.

It is almost certain that the iPhone 14 Pro series will remove the notch design that has been used in previous generations and replace it with a more simple center punch design, while the following two models of the iPhone 14 Pro series may retain the notch design. That’s normal, and it’s only the appearance that makes the difference that makes the “Pro” model special.

Judging from a set of renderings of the iPhone 14 series exposed not long ago, the holes of the iPhone 14 Pro series are arranged in the shape of an exclamation mark, and the rectangle of the camera module disappears. These two parts should be the biggest changes in the iPhone 14 Pro series.
In addition, the supply chain also said that this year, the hardware of the iPhone 14 series will also be upgraded, supporting a maximum capacity of 2TB, and it should be certain that it will be equipped with the latest Apple A16 bionic chip. It is reported that Apple has completed the work related to the self-developed 5G baseband and supporting RF chips, and has begun trial production and sample delivery. Therefore, the signal of the iPhone 14 series may be better this time. At the same time, we can also look forward to the battery life of the new generation of iPhone.

It’s only been a few months since the Pixel 6 was released, but online leaks about the Pixel 7 series have already emerged. Google appears to have sent CAD files to the case manufacturing industry recently, as Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka OnLeaks) and David Kowalski (aka xleaks7) both released renders of the Pixel 7 Pro today.

These unofficial render leaks are often based on measurements that Google needs to send to third parties in order to get accessories (like protective cases) ready for the release date. This means that the shape of the phone should be accurate to the millimeter, but finer details such as materials, colors, or the position of the camera lens within the camera block can still vary.

According to the exposed renderings, the design of the Pixel 7 Pro has many similarities with the Pixel 6, and the raised camera bar design on the back has been retained. The three cameras on the back of the Pixel 7 Pro appear to be quite large and may include a wide-angle camera, a periscope telephoto camera, and an ultra-wide-angle camera. The front adopts a centered hole-punch screen design.

As pointed out by SmartPrix, the device has the same curved edges as the Pixel 6 Pro. However, the Pixel 7 Pro is slightly shorter in length, slightly wider in width and thickness, and measures 163 x 76.6 x 8.7mm. For reference, the Pixel 6 Pro has a body size of 163.9×75.9×8.9mm.
Judging from the renderings, the Pixel 7 Pro looks similar to the Pixel 6’s design, and the size changes appear to be minimal. In addition, earlier renders of the more compact Pixel 6A were also leaked. Google hasn’t made any confirmation on the Pixel 7 or Pixel 6A yet — the company probably won’t release the Pixel 7 until the fall, and the Pixel 6A could be revealed sooner.

On February 24, according to media reports, Apple is in preliminary negotiations with a new supplier about the back-end order for the first iPhone 5G modem chip, which is expected to appear on the iPhone in 2023. According to this time, Apple’s 5G modem chip should be equipped on the iPhone 15 series.

In fact, as early as the beginning of last month, it was reported that the iPhone 15 series will use all self-developed chips for the first time, which may be a big improvement for the iPhone’s signal, and its cost will be further reduced. At present, TSMC is planning to mass-produce 4-nanometer chips. It is expected that the A series of the iPhone 14 series released this year should be the first batch of chips to benefit, while the iPhone 15 series expected to be released next year may have more advanced 3-nanometer technology.
However, instead of focusing on the iPhone 15 series coming next year, fruit fans might as well pay attention to the upcoming iPhone 14 series. Recently, the latest set of renderings of the iPhone 14 series have been released. It shows that the new generation of high-end iPhone models will bid farewell to “Liu Haiping”, adopt a hole-digging design (in the shape of an exclamation mark), and remove the rectangle of the camera module on the back, making it simpler.

After the release of the iPhone 13 series, the shape of its camera module has become a hot topic in the outside world. On the iPhone 14 series, the hole-digging design has become quite popular online.

On February 23, the latest set of renderings of the iPhone 14 series was exposed again. It can be seen from the renderings that the iPhone 14 series will bid farewell to “Liu Haiping” this time, adopting a hole-digging design (including front-facing holes and Face ID holes), and the entire shape is arranged in an exclamation mark. In other designs, the middle frame of the iPhone 14 series is still the same as the previous two generations of iPhones, insisting on a right-angle design, and the rectangle of the camera module disappears and becomes more simple, which is very consistent with Apple’s design concept.

After reading this set of renderings of the iPhone 14 series, to be honest, I personally think that the effect is not bad, and it is acceptable to the senses (it should have been done long ago). However, this should be a rendering of the iPhone 14 Pro series, and the standard version of the iPhone 14 should still use the notch design, which has been rumored for a long time.
Many people are concerned about whether the iPhone 14 series will adopt high-speed brushes. After all, whether Apple has high-speed brushes, the experience is completely different. Previously, it was reported that the entire iPhone 14 series will have a ProMotion adaptive refresh rate screen.
According to the supply chain news a few days ago, the iPhone 14 may have entered the trial production stage, and many manufacturers have also received relevant orders. It seems that the launch of the iPhone 14 series will be smoother.
