Another set of iPhones will be Released by Apple – One of Them has Three Cameras

As it happened in 2018, Apple will come up again with three iPhones this September, another ‘budget’ iPhone XR with an LCD screen and two equipped with OLED displays.

Some of the iPhones in this series will have even more cameras. According to a new report in the Wall Street Journal, the iPhone XR will be replaced by another phone even though it is considered under-performing regarding sales. It can still change its impression in the long run.

One leak suggests that the replacement of the iPhone XS Max will sport a three-camera setup, according to Gordon Kelly from Forbes. The people behind the design of the new phone seem like they are trying to play with some asymmetrical arrangement of snappers, but it is still only a rumor.

However, who would mind an extra camera right? Probably it will be a wide angle one.

Regarding the iPhone XS which measures 5.8 inches, its successor might stick with the usual two camera setup.

In case this will happen, there will be a change from last year as in September 2018 when the phones were released, the only difference between the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS was their size. Some manufacturers tend to make the smaller device less impressive, but Apple did not do that.

The sizes of the phones might not change, and if so, they will remain the 6.1 inches, 5.8 inches, and 6.5 inches.

The successor of iPhone XR is said to be the last iPhone that will ever be equipped with an LCD screen as in 2020 all phone released by Apple will sport OLED displays.

One change that will happen to the next iPhone XR will be that it might get an additional camera.

Amazon Web Services VP Explains That IoT Shouldn’t Be Used Just For The Sake Of It

IoT is definitely the latest trend for tech lovers. However, regular customers are not the only ones using the internet of things. Many companies decide to adopt the IoT. While this might appear the logical step in order to keep up with the evolution technology, AWS VP of IoT Dirk Didascalou explained that IoT needs to be used for specific problems, not because it is a trend.

“Sometimes we are a little buzzword driven — IoT will solve all my problems, AI will solve all my problems, now we have the new buzzword, AIoT — that’s why we typically start all of our conversations with a question: If you knew the state of all of your assets, all of your things, everything, in your company and you could reason on top of that knowledge, what problems would you solve and why?,” Didascalou said.

Identify the problem

According to Didascalou, the IoT should represent a solution for a problem (or several). Therefore, before deciding to use IoT, and enterprise should start by identifying its shortcomings. Then, the company needs to figure out whether sensor technology would be able to solve its issues.

“We ask about problem statements: What’s hard for you, where do you lose money, what is really a headache for you? We look at dedicated problems and once we understand what are really big business problems for our customers, then we work backward and figure out what can we do with IoT technology to solve them,” he added.

 

Didascalou explained that many enterprises decide to employ IoT without having a clear reason for it. In fact, according to him, identifying the problem is the most important step, and he considers it “half of the success”.

Clash Of Clans: Get the Upper Hand with the CoC Generator

More than 6 years have passed since Clash of Clans was released but the hit smartphone game has remained popular to this day.

Players from all over the world have created their own kingdom and allied with others in order to form a stronger clan. Countless clans have perished as time passed and more took their place. Friendships were created and ruined during Clan Wars and the game is one of the most popular multiplayer strategy titles that can be played on the go.

While the game is great there is one major drawback. Supercell published the game as a free-to-play title. This may seem good at first since many people can play it for free. But the game earns money by offering microtransactions.  In order to fortify their kingdoms players have to earn three types of resources, namely gold, gems and elixir, which can be spent on upgrades and troops. Those that play for free will have to grind the materials but willing players can buy them directly with cash, gaining an edge since they are able to constantly advance. They can also use extra resources in order to speed up certain tasks while free players that reach higher levels will have to wait several hours until an upgrade is finished.

Those that wish to gain access to unlimited resources are now able to use a generator. The generator is completely free and it will allow you to gain gold, gems and elixir with a few clicks. It is also compatible with both Android and iOS devices. It is made even better by the fact that you don’t need to download an extra program in order to gain access to the features.

All you need to is to enter your username, pick the desired amount of resources and click on the Generate now! button. The process should be finished in a few seconds. The site can be found easily on the internet.

Attackers Are Targeting IoT Devices

The Internet of Things is taking over the world. If we take a look at the United States most household have IoT devices such as smart speakers. In fact, in 2018, 56 million speakers were sold only in the United States.

While the IoT does come with plenty of benefits, it can also make you vulnerable. It appears that at the moment these devices are the favourite target of cybercriminals. In the past 18 months Spain was the country which had most attacks. Other countries such as the US, Hungary or Singapore were also targeted.

How does it work?

Attackers need open remote administration services in order to infect Internet of Things devices. Hackers can find them using global internet scans. The most popular type of attack remains the DDoS attack.

“We are stuck with over 8 billion IoT devices around the world that, for the most part, prioritise access convenience over security. Organisations need to brace themselves for impact, because IoT attack opportunities are virtually endless and the process of building Thingbots is more widespread than ever,” explained Senior EMEA Threat Research Evangelist at F5 Networks, David Warburton.

When it comes to the most used protocols, the Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is the most popular one. The next positions are occupied by Home Administration Protocols (HNAP), Universal Plug and Play protocols (UpnP), Simple Object Access Protocols (SOAP).

“Unfortunately, it is going to take material loss of revenue for IoT device manufacturers, or significant costs incurred by organisations implementing these devices, before any meaningful security advances are achieved. Therefore, it is essential to have security controls in place that can detect bots and scale to the rate at which Thingbots attack. As ever, having bot defense at your application perimeter is crucial, as is a scalable DDoS solution,” added Warburton.
