IPhone 13 Pro may launch a matte black color scheme, and the camera protrusion will become thinner

On March 29, the media Apple Insider quoted the whistleblower Max Weinbach as saying that the iPhone 13 Pro may usher in a new color scheme “matte black.” According to the news, iPhone 13 will use a new coating that can better deal with fingerprints and smudges. On the back of the phone, the camera module will also be redesigned, and the protrusions will become thinner.

   If nothing else, the iPhone 13 series should arrive as scheduled this fall. Now, there has been a lot of news about this series of new machines. First of all, in terms of appearance, the key information given by the above revelations is: new color matching, new coating, and thinner camera protrusions. In addition, the front of the machine also has some changes.
   The Greek repair provider iRepair previously provided the media with a photo of the front glass panel of the iPhone 13. According to the photos, the size of this series of phones is the same as the iPhone 12 series, 5.4 inches, 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, but their “bangs” are obviously narrower.

   As for other aspects, a report recently released by the analysis agency Wedbush shows that the iPhone 13 series will provide 1TB of storage space and a LiDAR camera. According to the report, Apple’s new iPhone 13 series will add a large memory version with 1TB of storage space. The reason for this is that as the volume of data becomes larger and larger, users need a lot of space to store these files. In addition, LiDAR cameras that only appeared on high-end series models earlier will appear on the iPhone 13 series.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

The latest renderings of the folding screen iPhone exposed, the flip design with hidden hinges

At present, there are various folding screen mobile phones represented by Samsung and Huawei in the mobile phone market. Xiaomi has also recently exposed the new folding products of MIX Fold, but Apple has been standing still. A few days ago, the media LETSGODIGITAL exposed the latest renderings of Apple’s folding screen phones.

   This time the exposure is not an open-ended solution that folds “1” into “2”, but a folding screen with a clamshell design similar to Samsung Flip. This latest “iPhone Flip” folding screen mobile phone also has the most avant-garde industrial design, and its appearance is still very attractive. It can be seen from the rendering that the iPhone Flip adopts a design similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, and the clamshell “makeup box” design is very easy to carry.

   After the folding screen iPhone is unfolded, the overall size is close to that of our regular mobile phones, and the appearance is very close to the currently exposed iPhone 13 series renderings on the market, and there is a small-sized secondary screen behind it. In addition, Apple also designed a unique hidden hinge, which can be almost perfectly hidden inside the fuselage. It is reported that this folding screen flip phone will be on the market in 2023.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

Apple has acquired 25 artificial intelligence companies in 5 years, ranking first in the industry in terms of number of transactions

In recent years, “artificial intelligence” has gradually become one of the hottest concepts in the technology industry. Tech giants are chasing “artificial intelligence” one after another, leading to many acquisitions in this field. According to media reports, in the past five years, Apple ranked first in the technology industry in terms of the number of acquisitions of artificial intelligence companies.
   A report released by GlobalData, a world-renowned data analysis company, shows that from 2016 to 2020, Apple has acquired a total of 25 artificial intelligence companies, more than Accenture, Google, Microsoft and Facebook.

   It is reported that the artificial intelligence companies acquired by Apple include Silk Labs, Turi, Drive.ai, Unductiv, Voysis, PullString, etc. When Apple acquired these companies, it was relatively low-key and did not disclose the details, but its acquisitions are generally to obtain advanced technology or excellent talents, which will enhance Apple’s machine learning and Siri voice assistant products.
   Among them, Unductiv’s technology can help improve Siri’s data, Voysis can improve Siri’s natural language processing technology, and PullString can help Siri integrate with third-party iOS applications.
Nicklas Nilsson, the analyst who wrote the report, said that in the field of voice assistants, Apple Siri was the first to be born, but it lags behind the two major rivals in terms of intelligence. This disadvantage has also affected Apple’s performance in the smart speaker market. In order to catch up with Google’s “Google Assistant” and Amazon’s Alexa, Apple has launched a frantic acquisition in the field of artificial intelligence.

   It is worth mentioning that Apple CEO Cook said in February this year that in the past six years, Apple has acquired about 100 startups. Cook said that Apple remains open to mergers and acquisitions of companies of any size, but pays more attention to small-scale and innovative companies. Their technology can complement Apple’s products and the acquisition will also benefit the development of the target company.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

LG Electronics is developing key technologies for 6G networks and is expected to be commercialized in 2029

At present, the 5G network has been on the right track, and many countries and enterprises have also started the research and development of 6G network technology. Recently, foreign media reported that South Korea’s LG Electronics has signed a cooperation plan with Keysight of the United States and the Korea Institute of Advanced Science and Technology (KAIST) to jointly develop the next generation of 6G network technology.

   It is understood that the three parties will cooperate to develop the key wave technology of 6G communication and plan to complete the research in 2024. It is estimated that the 6G network can be commercialized in 2029.
   It was previously reported that the 6G network is expected to arrive around 2030. Compared with 5G networks, 6G networks are faster and have lower latency. The performance indicators of 6G networks are expected to reach 10 to 100 times that of 5G, and the peak transmission speed will reach 100Gbps to 1Tbps. In addition, 6G networks will be widely used in application scenarios such as communications, telemedicine, military, and entertainment games.

   At present, many well-known technology companies have formed the “Next G Alliance”, such as Apple, Google, Charter Communications, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Intel, Keysight Technologies, LG Electronics, Mavenir, MITRE and VMware, etc., are all members of this organization.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery

Exposure that iPhone 12 mini is about to be discontinued due to battery life and other issues

According to news on March 24, according to industry chain sources, Apple’s iPhone 12 mini is about to be discontinued. After the launch of this model, due to problems such as poor battery life, sales fell short of Apple’s expectations, and the upstream and downstream industry chains were also affected, including Samsung, a supplier of OLED panels.

  According to Nihon Keizai Shimbun previously, Apple has cut the overall iPhone orders by about 20%, and most of these cut orders are for the iPhone 12 mini. According to reports, the iPhone 12 mini only accounts for “10% to 15% of Apple’s orders.” After entering 2021, Samsung’s shipments of small-size OLED panels have fallen by 9% to 45 million. The main reason is that the iPhone 12 mini’s production capacity has been reduced due to sluggish sales, so Apple has to pay Samsung compensation.
Samsung provides a 5.4-inch OLED screen for the iPhone 12 mini and is also an exclusive supplier. The reason for the possibility of compensation is that Apple gave an underwriting commitment to strive for a price advantage when the purchase agreement was previously agreed. The agreed lower limit. There are rumors that the iPhone 13 series to be released in September this year will still have 4 models, which means that the iPhone 13 mini will also appear.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone battery
