iPhone 11 To Come With Two-Way Charging And Higher Battery Performance

It is hard to offer an exclusive feature in a smartphone market which continues to grow as new players enter the game. The iPhone 11 lineup will have to pack some impressive selling points if it wants to compete with some of its biggest rivals, including Huawei and Samsung.

Six months have passed since the latest generation of iPhones has been unveiled, but many Apple fans are looking forward towards the next version of the favorite gadget. One of the most respected tech analysts claims that Apple may add the popular two-way charging feature to iPhone 11, along with higher battery performance.

The future device would allow owners to charge other devices like the new AirPods or other smartphones. The addition would be a bonus, but it isn’t groundbreaking since it is already available for those who decided to buy a Samsung Galaxy S10.

It is likely that Apple will also boost the battery capacity of the upcoming advice since no one will use the feature if they don’t have the energy to spare. A larger battery would also boost the overall performance of the device in the long run, a significant selling point since many of the modern smartphones are unable to withstand more than a day of use.

According to a reliable source Apple plans to update the budget iPhone. The iPhone XR is quite powerful in comparison to similar Android devices but the decision to use an LCD, even if Apple touts it as the best LCD in the world, has alienated many potential customers. A quick look on many official forums will prove that the performance of the panel is inferior in comparison to the displays used by the XS and XS Max. The use of an OLED panel will remove this flaw, but it is likely that the price tag will reflect the change.

Apple doesn’t like leaks, and it is likely that we won’t learn more until the company will reveal the iPhone 11 lineup in September 2019.

iPhone 12 Would Launch in 2020 With Revamped Design and New Features, According To Rumors

The latest iPhone models launched six months ago, but many fans are already looking forward to the upcoming devices, iPhone 11 lineup. It is likely that the iPhone will retain the design of the XS and XR models since they were quite successful. However, a reliable source claims that the 2020 iPhone models, or iPhone 12, will pack some exciting features and a revamped design. It seems that the company plans to maintain the triumvirate, with a significant change being represented by the fact that the trio devices will sport OLED displays.

The iPhone XR uses the same processor as the XS, but the LCD screen and the thicker bezels made it unattractive in the eyes of many Apple fans, a flaw that will be corrected. A new display would also allow the company to refresh the looks the device, which is the most affordable choice for many potential users.

iPhone 12 models will come with revamped design and new exciting features

The same source claims that the 2020 iPhone models, iPhone 12 series, will have smaller screens (two of them), with the numbers being reduced from the current 5.8-inch, 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch ( iPhone XS, XR, and XS Max) to 5.42, 6.06, and 6.67. As you can see the Max version will become even bigger while the regular versions will be adjusted a little.

The device with the smallest screen is likely to be the most affordable one, and it is likely that the cost of the device will be limited by using touch screen solutions offered by Samsung or LG. The Y-Octa technology provided by Samsung involves the use of a high-quality AMOLED display which is considerably thinner in comparison to previous designs.

It is well-known that the OLED display is the most expensive component mounted on an iPhone and the main reason for the current price tag of the devices. The smaller iPhone could become a favorite among those who prefer a smaller device, in the vein of the iconic iPhone SE. Samsung Display is likely to remain the most significant OLED supplier, but LG Display and BOE are looking forward to a piece of the pie.

Minecraft Shader Pack Brings Ray Tracing Effects

Graphics are not the most critical element when it comes to some games, and Minecraft proved that from a lot of points of view. The blocky visuals of the sandbox title did not stop this game from turning into one of the most popular titles of all time, but you can still switch to modders if you who want to give its looks an overhaul. A lot of attention has been drawn recently by one particular shader pack thank to its addition of what resembles ray tracing effects.

Even though this is not the type of ray tracing you have been used to from Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, or Metro Exodus, the rendering method used, the ‘path tracing,’ in the latest build of Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders (SEUS) does not look worse. A couple of short clips have been posted by the artist @notglacier on Twitter, and there you can see how the game is changed because of the shader. Some effects can also be observed associated with ray tracing, including light beams and their reflections on different surfaces.

Minecraft with ray tracing effects needs more performant computers than vanilla Minecraft version

No matter how bad of a potato your PC is, Vanilla Minecraft might work on it, but a lot beefier will be needed if you want to run this shader pack at an acceptable speed. GTX 1070 Ti and an i9-9900k CPU has been used by Notglacier, and that combo was enough for only 25 – 40 fps.

If you would like to give a substantial visual overhaul to your favorite game, go to Sonic Ether’s Patreon page and download the shader pack from there as it is available to backers. You also get access to his Discord server and experimental builds if you pledge monthly payments and that is great.

iOS 13 Could Bring Significant Improvements To iPad Tablets

Apple has declared countless times that the iPad can replace conventional laptops. That is partly true since the potential is there, but a few changes are needed before the iPad can compete with the big players, including the MacBook. In most cases, an iPhone can handle the same tasks at a faster rate, and many users prefer the snappier experience, a fact which leaves the iPad stranded somewhere in the middle of the road between entertainment device and productivity tools (a classic jack-of-all-trades situation). The case could change drastically when iOS 13 arrives.

Below you can find a list of iOS 13 features which have the potential to make the iPad better.

iOS 13 can make the iPad become a real substitute for laptops

Dark Mode in iOS 13

Those who own a MacBook can enjoy the dark mode which arrived with macOS Majove. It is likely that Apple will add the long-awaited feature to iOS, a move which has the potential to make lots of fans happy.

Refreshed Files app

The Files app is working well, but it does miss a few features. A revamped app would make the user experience better, while also boosting the productivity capabilities of the device.

Increase the multitasking performance iPad with iOS 13

While side-by-side multitasking is quite enjoyable, it is time to aim higher. The next update should allow each app to show at least two files simultaneously. For example, users should have the option to compare and edit two Word files at the same time, a feat which would be quite impressive.

Improved support for external displays

Users can connect their iPads to a larger display, but the potential is wasted by the fact that you can’t do too much. Yes, you can mirror the screen on the second device and enjoy Netflix on a bigger screen, but this isn’t too impressive. There are several productivity features which could be added to iOS 13, including the ability to move applications to the other display.

It remains to be seen if any of these features will make an appearance when Apple releases the new version of the popular operating system, the iOS 13.
