iPhone 11 Release Date, Rumors, and More

As we are already three months into the new year, many speculations are emerging regarding the upcoming iPhone 2019 models. Dubbed as iPhone 11 or XL, the upcoming lineup would feature some design changes (giving up the notch, finally) and improved technical specs. Today, we’re going to show everything we know about iPhone release date, rumors, and more.

Expected enhancements in the next iPhone 11

Apple is expected to change the design of the new iPhone 2019 lineup, improve the processing speed, add some new features, increase the screen resolution, bring in enhancements with chances in colors, and many such additions.1

If you take a look at what the Japanese site MacOtakara posts, you will see how the upcoming iPhone 11 or XL might look like.

Several sources believe that Apple will not give up the idea of a trio of iPhones consisting of two with OLED screens and one with LCD. Anticipating by how the iPhone XR was sold, the company will produce more units of the LCD phone.

The OLED iPhone devices of this year will be available in different size versions such as one measuring 6.5 inches or the other that would measure 5.8 inches. On the other hand, the successor of iPhone XR would boast a 6.1-inch display. Japan Display offers some Full Active LCD screens that are just as good as the OLED ones but at a better cost, and Apple is thought to use them in their next LCD iPhone.

iPhone 11 would sport some design changes – Or not?

Early last month, Ming-Chi Kuo offered some news regarding the variety of colors the iPhone 2019 models will be available. The 6.5-inch iPhone 11 will come in white, black and maybe gold, while the 6.1-inch LCD version would be available in orange, blue, gray, red, and white.

According to various leaks, the iPhone 2019 models will not suffer significant changes regarding the design. The measurements are not that different, the edge to edge screen display will still be there, but the full-screen design might come in, meaning that Apple would finally ditch the notch for iPhone 11 series.

Anthem Is A Disappointment, And It Seems That Nothing Can Change That

Star Wars The Old Republic was BioWare’s first foray into the multiplayer genre. The MMO provided an enthralling story experience, but the game failed to leave a dent in a genre dominated by established titles. With Anthem, BioWare tried to blend its award-winning storytelling capabilities with the mechanics and gameplay of a relatively new type known as looter shooter.

Looter shooter offers visceral shooting action coupled with an MMO layer which involves multiplayer, an evolving world and a generous amount of loot which becomes better as you progress through the game.

It is odd that EA decided to give Anthem to BioWare, a developer known for its single-player role-playing video game series, among which we can count Baldur’s Gate, Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

Anthem Is A Disappointment, And There’s Nothing To Change That

Anthem does feature a narrative, but it’s far from being the thought-challenging story encountered in the developer’s past titles. Gameplay has taken a central place in the case of Anthem, with the story orbiting around the four Javelin armors. Players of the game can choose one of the four Javelin, Iron Man-like armors, and participate in a series of quests and challenges as they journey toward level 30 and the end game. The Javelins are beautiful, able to fly, strike, and fight flawlessly. At an ideal level, the game could be carried by the Javelins alone, but that is not the case.

The combat sequences are lackluster after a few missions when the player realizes that the same scenarios are recycled over and over again. Flying is exciting but the open world scenario, although very detailed, feels empty and repetitive. In this context, the story of the game appears to be even shallower than it seemed at first. Long storylines will take from one zone to another but the plot twists are predictable, and many of the NPCs which populate the hub are unlikeable.

Further content will be added by a series of patches, according to the roadmap of the game. Until the first significant patch arrives in May, the servers may become barren, but that remains to be seen. However, some gamers think that no update in the world can change Anthem and make it look good.

Android Dark Mode Revealed To Some Google Pixel 3 Users In The Update Menu

The dark mode has become very popular in recent years, and it is now available on most flagship devices. From saving battery when you are using your device during the night (while also keeping your eyes safe) to a mere personalization choice, dark mode is a feature which has managed to build a strong fan base.

The mode is available on Pixel 3 devices, and some users have reported that it may have found its way to new features. Some users have captured screenshots and pictures of an unusual Android update screen, which appear to use a slightly different dark mode. The images were posted on a popular forum platform, sparking the curiosity of thousands of users who rushed to share their opinion on the subject.

Usually, Google prefers to employ a variety of greys with its dark mode. The images reveal a pure black menu, with only the text and the buttons being white. That has attracted widespread criticism as some users claim that the screen may have been faked with the help of a custom theme or by opting to activate the color inversion feature which can be found in the settings menu (and which produces a similar result, according to users which tried to replicate the results).

Some Google Pixel 3 users are puzzled by a mysterious Android dark mode update menu

The person who started the thread shared another screenshot in which the multitask menu appears, proving that he or she didn’t activate the color inversion feature.

Others have also noted that they were greeted by the same screen and they use the latest Google Plays Services version (16.0.81). It is also argued that the theme may be linked to the Device theme setting which is available on Google Pixel devices.

Another round of debates was sparked after some users who run the same Play Services version said that they didn’t encounter the Android dark mode update screen. They argue that it may occur if people are running a beta version of the Play Services. Google has recently released an update which changed how the update menu looks like, making it more similar to the Material Design theme.
