Here’s everything we know about the 2019 iPhone

While the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR haven’t been around for that long, rumors for the next iPhone are already surfacing. While the information has yet to be confirmed, it seems Apple’s 2019 flagships could include a variety of upgrades ranging from a new design to enhanced features. Here’s everything we know about the device so far.

DESIGN
What will Apple do with the iPhone design in 2019? Could this finally be the year the iPhone makes the jump to the USB-C connection? Every year seems to give birth to similar rumors where the port is concerned, and 2019 is no different. According to a report from supply chain blog Macotakara, Apple may be gearing up to make the change. There’s no specific source for the rumor in the report, but it points to Apple’s adoption of the USB-C port in 2018’s iPad Pro as evidence Apple is looking in this direction.

USB-C allows for much the same functionality as the Lightning port, but has a much wider repository of accessories to draw from. Plus, the EU started pushing for a universal phone charging standard again in 2018, which may have forced Apple’s hand. Is it possible. Yes. Is it likely? We’re not sure. Yet.

In other design news, a leaked render, said to be based on an engineering prototype, shows an iPhone that looks similar to current models from the front, but very different from the back. The horizontal camera module is mounted at the top, and in the center. The module contains three camera lenses, with the middle lens surrounded by a flash unit. The leak, from @onleaks and compareaja.in, is not official and is not final evidence of what this year’s iPhone will look like. However, the site claims it’s one of the designs being examined by Apple, and it’s a very different look to the current models.

While this render has a notch, there are rumors Apple may introduce a punch hole display, as used on the Honor View 20 and the Samsung Galaxy A8s. While a patent filed in June 2018 suggested Apple would be chasing that same trend in 2019’s iPhone, noted leaker Ice Universe claims 2019’s iPhone will still rock a notch — and the earliest we can expect to see an iPhone with a holed display is 2020.

Another patent from Apple relates to manufacturing ceramic iPhone bodies in a variety of colors, which could alter the way future iPhones look. The patent shows a device with colored bars on its back, specifically on the top and bottom. It’s also possible the Apple logo could be a different color to the rest of the iPhone.

DISPLAY
While Apple was a little late to incorporate OLED display into its hardware, it looks like the company is embracing the technology on its most expensive phones. Currently, the iPhone XS and XS Max sport OLED screens while the iPhone XR sports Apple’s proprietary Liquid Retina LCD. So should we expect more of the same for 2019?

Despite earlier reports to the contrary, the Wall Street Journal is claiming 2019’s iPhone range will include an iPhone XR-style model with an LCD display, while two, more expensive models will include OLED panels. This goes against earlier rumors from South Korean news source ETNews, who claimed the company had chosen OLED screens for “all three models,” but is also backed up by Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst for KGI Securities, who suggested LCD iPhones would still be around in 2019 and that they will probably outsell OLED models. However, the Wall Street Journal has noted Apple will more than likely drop the LCD display entirely in 2020.


CAMERA
In May, it was reported that the flagship 2019 iPhone was set to include three camera lenses. Taiwanese publication Economic News Daily claimed each of the three cameras could boast 12 megapixels — which could mean additional camera features such as increased detail or greater zoom mode. A recent article from the Wall Street Journal has backed that up — but claims only the largest iPhone will receive three lenses — two other models will stick with a dual-lens setup.

Economic Daily News also reports the upcoming phones will feature more advanced technology on the rear cameras that what’s currently being used on the TrueDepth front-facing cameras. The new lenses will use stereoscopic imaging to capture objects and scenes from multiple angles and triangulate multiple perspectives into 3D images.

This seems to be very similar to an earlier rumor from Deutsche Securities analyst Lu Jialin, who believes Apple will incorporate two stereo-vision lenses and a telephoto lens into its three-lens camera. That way, the cameras will be able to understand 3D space in a manner similar to the iPhone X’s TrueDepth front camera — which in turn means there could also be new augmented reality features as well.

It’s clear Apple is continuing to work on its ARKit, having introduced ARKit 2.0 as part of iOS 12 at this year’s Worldwide Developer Conference. The new version delivers improved face tracking, support for 3D object detection and realistic rendering. Users can also play AR games against other users in the same virtual environment with multi-user augmented reality. With a three-lens camera, it will be interesting to see what features Apple will release for future versions of ARKit.

NO MORE 3D TOUCH
Each year when Apple announces its newest batch of iPhones we expect to see new hardware and features. But every once in a while, the tech giant takes an underperforming feature away. And it looks like 3D Touch could go away in 2019.

Earlier in 2018, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said he expected Apple to drop 3D Touch as soon as 2019. In August, a Barclays analyst said he expects Apple to remove the feature in the near future. When Apple announced the 2018 iPhone lineup in September, the iPhone XR was the first phone in a number of years that shipped without 3D Touch. While Apple may continue to omit the feature from its entry-level phones, we expect the may just do away with the feature altogether in 2019.

Is Samsung going to launch the bendable Galaxy X phone soon?

Samsung will launch a Galaxy X in the near future, many people joked once the Apple’s iPhone X became official. And that seems to be true. Samsung may unveil the Galaxy X sooner than we would have thought, a new report appears to indicate. But Samsung won’t just copy the iPhone X’s name and notch.

We’ve heard the Galaxy X moniker earlier this year, in connection with Samsung’s foldable phone plans. Some of these reports said Samsung will unveil the Galaxy X this year, and launch it in a limited fashion to measure consumer interest in such a device. But also because it’s a challenge to make such a device.

Then reports said the phone will be postponed to 2018, as the Galaxy S8 turned out to be a great seller. Samsung Mobile’s own chief acknowledged on Apple’s iPhone X day that Samsung is indeed working on foldable devices, teasing that the Galaxy Note 9 will have such a display.

More than a week later, just as the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus started selling in stores, the Galaxy X was spotted in South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency’s database.

First seen by Dutch-language Let’s Go Digital the listing mentions a phone model number we saw in the past. SM-G888N0 was associated with Samsung’s foldable phone in previous rumors.

The listing doesn’t reveal any details about the handset, but it has a September 21st, 2017 date. Is that an indication that Samsung is accelerating the Galaxy X rollout? We can’t really say. It’d be surprising to see Samsung unveil the phone in the coming months because we haven’t seen any leaks. And Samsung is far from being the tight-lipped company it wants to be. Any phone is thoroughly leaked months before its arrival.

On the other hand, Samsung wants to be seen as an innovator in the mobile business rather than a fast-follower. A Galaxy X launch would sure help the company make that statement especially now that the iPhone X Is official.

So far, the G888 received Wi-Fi and Bluetooth certifications, which is only to be expected from any device that has such wireless abilities. The fact that the NRRA approved the handset indicates that the Galaxy X is approved for the local market.

Best New Tech in 2018 Cars

It’s getting to be that time of year where all of the car commercials for the next year’s models start to flood the airways in hopes of ending up in someone’s driveway with a bow on top.

Vehicles have come a long way from crank up windows and cassette players. The technology available in cars today is already light years ahead of where it began. In roughly 100 years of production, cars have gone from the Model T to today where some cars drive themselves.

New cars are unveiled every year, each with some feature better than the last year’s version. They can be as small as adding cup holders to as large as improving gas mileage but it’s usually the advances in technology that grab everyone’s attention. Here are five new tech features in 2018 model cars that you can look forward to.

QUIET MODE

While most of the exciting tech updates come from within the cabin of the car, this first one is under the hood. The Ford Mustang, beginning in 2018, will include a feature to muffle the engine sound to a whisper. Although Mustang owners around the world marvel at the sound of their purring engine, my gut tells me that the Neighbors of Mustang Owners Association is rejoicing. This feature allows drivers to engage this feature ad-hoc or it can be scheduled for certain hours to avoid disturbances.

There is a flip side, though. What Ford’s engineers figured out wasn’t just how to quiet the engine from 82 decibels (a food blender) to 72 decibels (a dishwasher) upon startup. They figured out how to adjust the sound of the engine. So while quiet mode is one advantage of that, it also allows the ability to make the engine even louder with an extra 5.0 liter V8 engine boom. So if your neighbor gets the new 2018 Mustang and is still rattling your windows late at night, he or she is purposefully being an asshole.

LIVE STREAM TV

With the onset of services like SlingTV, Roku and Playstation Vue, it’s becoming easier and easier to watch live television anywhere. Add inside the car to that list. Starting in 2018, the new Lincoln Navigator’s dual screen entertainment system can stream from Android devices or stream directly through the car via SlingBox.  The experience will be the same for the driver as listening to the radio, unfortunately, but for all backseat guests, this feature adds a lot to the traveling experience.

SELF DRIVING CARS

Automated driving systems in cars should no longer be a surprise. Companies like Uber and Google have been testing self-driving cars for years and many commercial cars now have features like hands-free parallel parking or automatic lane correction.

In 2018, however, that technology moves to the next stage. Cadillac’s Super Cruise system in 2018 models will include a feature allowing drivers to go completely hands and foot-free. While only available on multilane highways, the system uses sensors to both maintain a safe distance from cars and stay in the current lane.

The system also includes a camera in the steering wheel that can tell when the driver isn’t watching the road and sounds alerts, and eventually stop and call first responders if the driver’s attention isn’t on the road for too long. So don’t get this car to catch up on reading, or do makeup in the car, you’ll end up parked on a shoulder somewhere

FIVE ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL

A rite of passage with every road trip is arguing over the temperature of the car; someone’s always cold, someone’s always hot. Many cars now have climate control panels throughout allowing different parts of the car to be heated or cooled to different temperatures or with different air flow speeds.

Beginning with the 2018 model, the BMW X7 will contain five different climate zones allowing the driver, shotgun, both captain seats and, presumably, the rear row to each have their own climate settings.

PARKING

Parking in a foreign city, or even your own city, can be a hassle. Several creative minds have attempted to address this issue by creating apps but only one integrates with a car and that’s ParkMobile. This product is changing the way people park providing maps of availabilities and payment transactions all from within the app. Now, after partnering with BMW, ParkMobile CEO John Ziglar is one step closer to achieving his goal, “My goal is that in three years’ time, not a single driver gets into their car without knowing where their car will come to rest at the end of their journey.”

This partnership actually opens up a lot of avenues that were previously seen as threats to the status quo. Many were worried that self-driving cars would challenge norms and cash flow for parking structures. However, the ParkMobile-BMW collaboration brings about the possibility of self-driving and self-paying cars that can not only navigate to a destination but then park and pay for that parking when it gets there. Crazy!

Consumer Electronics Show 2017: Here is what to expect from Las Vegas

A vendor demonstrates the Micro Drone for a prospective retailer at the International Consumer Electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada

The tech world heats up as soon as we all step into another year as all companies look to make a mark at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that is held in Las Vegas.

Driverless or self-driving cars galore

Several auto-reporters in the industry have started joking that CES has been turned into the Car Electronics Show instead of the Consumer Electronics Show.

The trend had started a few years back with Ford being the first company to grace the floor. Now, it seems that all car companies want to show their latest tech developments on the floor. So, please don’t expect anything else this year.

Autonomous cars are all set to steal the show this year and companies will make sure that they make these cars as normal as any other car on the road. Another important aspect will be the connected cars side of things. As IoT develops, our cars are all slated to be more smart. This year might see more and more vehicles come equipped with cellular data connections to send information back to the cloud on everything from maintenance issues like low tire warnings to reminders about upcoming service requirements.

Self-driving cars will need to be way more connected, sharing and receiving data on road conditions, changes to traffic flow, and restrictions on where they can and can’t drive. Expect a glimpse of all this in CES.

Time of the rideables is gone

Electric hoverboards or popularly known as skateboards stole the show at CES last year. There were plenty of booths that had all kinds of jazzy stuff with wheels and a motor.

However, controversies that these things can explode has drifted the limelight away from them. Even if they have a presence in the show, people wouldn’t be paying much attention.

Virtual Reality (VR) to take the next leap

If you remember, Virtual Reality or VR, dominated the floor in CES 2016. But a lot of work has been done in VR till then and it will be interesting to see what new incremental updates or features companies will come up with to make more use cases or get more mainstream.

A big crop of headsets are expected to be aimed at the Chinese market — a particularly interesting, fast-growing part of the global VR industry. A lot of these products feel more like one-off pieces of hardware than the relatively robust Rift and Vive platforms, but they could also create a larger VR ecosystem in the long term. And big electronics companies like Qualcomm and Intel, both of which are likely to be talking virtual reality at the show, could help lift all boats by building better core components.

Augmented Reality or AR will also be seen at the show. With Microsoft’s HoloLens acheiving perfection, we might see some consumer products come to the fore.

The reign of wireless audio may start

If you think audio, then wireless is the word on the street. Long have we looked to cut off those cables which get tangled and are infitely exposed to wear and tear. The phenomenon really started when Apple removed the 3.5mm headphone jack from its latest iPhone series and also brought in AirPods.

Other categories like gaming and audiophile-grade headphones — as exhibited by the Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless in December — are likely to also see new wireless choices to pick from. And as to speakers, any manufacturer that wants to sell speakers that aren’t wireless will probably need a strong justification for it.

Electronic kimonos and smart collars that reveal how your pet is feeling: Japan's Wearable Expo opens with bizarre gadgets

From electronic kimonos to sensors that know what your pet is feeling, the Japan's Wearable Device and Technology Expo promises to reveal some of this year's most creative - and oddest - technological innovations.
The world's largest exhibition for wearable devices and technology opened today, with over 210 exhibitors.
Smart glasses and fabrics seem to be the most popular exhibits - with even an electronic kimono on show.

A model displays Japanese electronics giant Toshiba's smart glasses 'Wearvue.' The lightweight device, weighing 50g, enables a user to watch a 13-inch sized screen from a distance of 1.25 meters and will go on sale end of next month.

eSight Glasses: The Hope for Legally Blind Patients

Call it eSight electronic glasses or electronic glasses or better still e-glasses but the marvelous thing this special piece of electronic glasses does for legally blind patients should not be overemphasized.

Before reviewing the technology behind this wonderful invention, let's know what legal blindness is all about first. Legal blindness simply means the level of vision loss or visual impairment that has been legally defined either to obtain eligibility for government-funded disability benefits or to limit activities like driving for safety purposes. Clinically, it is considered when the best corrected visual acuity in the better eye is less than or equals to 6/60 or if visual acuity in that eye is better than 6/60, visual field is less than or equals to 20 degrees in the widest diameter.

"Oh Mommy, there you're," little Christopher born with optic nerve hypoplasia (i.e optic nerve not fully developed before birth) exclaimed after wearing the eSight glasses for the first time. His mom, overwhelmed and excited told ABC News that Chris was born with an eye condition that does not allow him to see things unless he gets really close and can only watch television by sitting very close with his nose to the screen (i.e he can only see things that are five inches from his nose).

Another similar scenario occurred in Selinsgrove when Kaufman, a legally blind man sees the world perfectly well whenever he puts the eSight glasses on.
"I was able to read stories to my son. I can now see images at a distance, I can even see facial expressions and I can now watch my son play in the yard with his swing, something I was not able to do before," Kaufman said.

Kathy Beitz, a legally blind mother, saw her newborn baby for the very first time after giving birth to the baby. She was overwhelmed to see her baby and husband at the same time with the help of this amazing piece of glass.
"For the first baby that I get to actually look at being my own is very overwhelming. Even as I looked at my husband, it was such a good feeling. I got to fall in love with him," said Beitz. Hmmm! This is love at first sight, so touching. I nearly cry while watching her

Now I keep asking myself "but how", how does this eSight glasses really work, what’s actually behind this groundbreaking eSight technology. So I did a thorough research on eSight electronic glasses and observed that eSight glass is a hands-free wearable headset which carries a very small high-speed camera. The work of the camera is to capture everything the wearer is actually looking at and the captured video is streamed and sent to a proprietary software computer that processes each captured video pixel.

The processed (or enhanced) video is sent back to the headset which displays it on two organic-LED screens placed in front of the wearer's eyes. These enhanced video images are seen clearly by the wearer with unprecedented visual clarity thereby suppressing the effects of most visual impairments on the eSight glasses. All this processes will happen within a blink of an eye without discernible lag time for the wearer. Hence the user can instantly switch from near vision (reading a book) - to intermediate vision (looking at someone close to him/her) - to distance vision (looking through the window to see if it's raining). The wearer can even adjust the brightness, color, contrast and magnification of the images he/she is viewing and can also store them for future viewing.

Unfortunately, eSight will not work for people who are totally or profoundly blind but the good news is that it can work on people with low vision including individuals that are legally blind and this group represents about 86% of 300 million people in the world that are visually impaired or blind. The eye conditions were eSight works include the following:

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia

Stargardt's Disease

Ocular Albinism

Optic Atrophy

Macular Degeneration

Diabetic Retinopathy

Nystagmus

Retinopathy of Prematurity

Cone-Rod Dystropy

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy

Some forms of Glaucoma

Some forms of Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Now what’s the price tag for this wonderful piece of glass? Hmmm! The price is quite expensive but considering the marvelous work this glass does especially when compared to the cost of blindness then the price tag worth it.

eSight glass comes with a price tag of fifteen thousand US dollars ($15,000). For inquiry on how to purchase eSight, kindly visit their website here: eSight Cooperation.

"I pray that one day every blind person in the world will get the ample opportunity to appreciate the aesthetical features of this planet earth. Thanks to eSight cooperation for this wonderful invention" said Dr. N.I Obinna: Editor-In-Chief, Sight Medical Blog.

Review Process

We have set asides FIVE N5 for this tour, and we hope to accommodate 4-5 participants in each group. Cayin wants to cover a wider range of users in the tour, so we shall offer some advantages to reviewers with diversified profile.

The first reviewer of the group can keep the N5 test unit for 10 days, and subsequent reviewer can keep the unit for 7 days. At the end of your review period, reviewers are required to send the unit to the next reviewer in the list. We offer a slightly longer review period to our first reviewer of each group because we expect he/she need more time to explore the basic feature of the player, and subsequent reviewers will take advantages of the aging and writing of the first reviewer.

LG to Reveal Bendable Smartphone by 2015, Rollable TV's by 2017.

LG has always been an innovative company in the display segment.
With several inventions on the display, LG rolled out a circular Smartwatch named LG G Watch R last month. Apart from its design factor, the LG smartwatch sports such a thing, which others do not, a plastic made OLED screen, made of plastic substrates. This glass substitute can be curved up to a certain angle and less breakable in comparison with glass. The POLED are also very thinner and lighter, hence a series of future products including smartphones may see featuring this display technology.

The Korean Electronics manufacturer has recently unveiled a roadmap on their future plans explaining the areas the company will focus into. Speaking further, they explained that the POLED displays might open a new spectrum for the gadget world. Keeping pace with the current innovation trends, we may see a smartphone with bending ability.
Significantly, LG has already showcased a high end phone with bending ability. The LG G Flex was not only one of the best flagship devices for its configuration, rather it featured a display, which they tested by putting down the phone and applying pressure on it without causing any damage on the screen.
Contextually, the LG G watch R can also resist a lot of pressure without causing damage on the screen.
LG explained that if everything goes well, this display will be used in mobile phones, monitors, TV, cars, wearable's and even as a part of interior decoration.
Apparently, LG has also mentioned to implement POLED display on the smartphones and to launch it by 2015 and following this they will also release a tablet by 2015-2016. They are also hopeful about bringing up products like foldable notebook, rollable tablets and TVs. LG is quite optimistic about POLED's implementation on making navigation system for automotive markets.

PSFK 2017 Forecast: How New Tech Will Become Your Intimate Partner

A companion knows us so intimately and can successfully predict our desires and anticipate our needs before we announce them; they remember when we forget, know how we feel before we do, read our body language and offer solutions before a problem arises, reminding us to regain our balance and footing. We learn in PSFK’s 2017 Forecast report that today, technology can passively navigate our daily routines for us. Smart devices restock coffee beans before they run out, alert us when our dry cleaning is ready, order an Uber ride in anticipation of an appointment, if we so choose to welcome them into our life.

In consequence of this incredibly intimate technology, advanced enough to support us when needed, the social landscape has shifted dramatically. Glimpsing into the future, we can look around our connected homes at a slew of incredibly intelligent and autonomous machines performing services that help us better understand our built environment and steer us towards greater efficiencies. We’re at a time when our home thermostat can check the weather app to appropriately set itself, and eventually, this type of cognitive technology will apply to an entire ecosystem of products which all talk to one another.

Research for our new report found that consumer tech is specifically being designed as an alternative life companion aiming to  meet all of our needs—a hyper-personalized experience that learns and evolves as we, too, learn and evolve within a new era of digital relationships.

Best Laptops for College Students 2016

With summer in full swing but fall just around the corner, now is a better time than ever to start your search for the best laptop for college in 2016.

But which style of college laptop is right for your degree and what your classes will demand? Your laptop is an essential part of school work, and will be used in a variety of ways including writing papers, taking online exams, collaborating with other students, reviewing the class syllabus and enrolling in courses. So whether you’re a student that just needs something basic to get you through the day or a parent that requires something a little more powerful, there’s no need to look further than our guide on the best college laptops in the business.

Top Laptop Overall

The best laptop is now even better. Dell has given the XPS 13 ($799 to start, $1,399 with touch) a brighter screen, longer battery life, a new USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 and your choice of Intel's latest 6th-generation Core Series CPUs. Dell also kept all the features we liked on the previous model, including the sexy aluminum and carbon-fiber body, optional quad-HD infinity display, and comfy backlit keyboard. While the location of the webcam still feels out of place, this latest XPS 13 continues to reign supreme.

When you open the lid, you're treated to Dell's infinity display (pictured above), which features an almost nonexistent bezel that seems to just disappear into the background. It's intimate and engaging, and when you watch movies, it's feels like the video player is just hovering in midair.

The Infinity display isn't just for looks either, as the smaller lid means the XPS 13 also has a small footprint. Measuring 12 x 7.9 x 0.33-0.6-inches and weighing 2.7 pounds (2.9 pounds for the touch-screen version) this notebook is even smaller than some of the tiniest 13-inch systems, including the MacBook Air 13 (12.8 x 8.9 x 0.11-0.68-inches, 2.96 pounds) and the Lenovo Yoga 900 (12.75 x 8.86 x 0.59 inches, 2.8 pounds).
