Elder Scroll 6 Might Move The Location To Hammerfell

We are all very excited for Elder Scrolls 6, even though not many details are available at the moment. Bethesda is aware of its loyal fanbase, and developers made a video which captured the entire journey of the series, while also including the fans that have always been there. The video was showcased during the 25th Anniversary of the Elder Scrolls series. Accordingly, Elder Scrolls 6 might take place in Hammerfell.

The event was unique because it also offered us some essential details about Elder Scrolls 6. As far as we are concerned, the release of the game is still far away, but the hype has already begun. The even revealed that the upcoming Elder Scrolls game would use motion capture and photogrammetry, which is the new technology for this series.

More than that, some of the art that will be used for landscape was unveiled. This gives us an idea about how the game will look like. While it was definitely interesting to see some of the art, some users believe that there might be some clues in there as well.

Elder Scrolls 6 might take place in the rocky landscapes of Hammerfell

One thing that we can notice in the pictures is the desert landscape. From the looks of it, it appears that Hammerfell will show up in Elder Scrolls 6.

For those who forgot, Hammerfell is a large province in the west of Tamriel. Hammerfell would be an excellent location for the Elder Scrolls 6 as it hasn’t been explored enough in the previous games. More than that, we had a chance to see Hammerfell’s Red Guards, and they had an essential presence in Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

In fact, at the E3 2018, we did receive a reveal trailer for the Elder Scrolls 6, and by looking at the rocky landscapes, we have plenty of reasons to believe that the game will be set in Hammerfell.

Facebook Wants to Merge the Messenger App Back on Facebook App

Facebook is coming with a new idea regarding its Messenger app, an idea that could return the chat app to the main app. If that happens, you will access your social media feeds like always, plus have the messages in one spot as well. The company will keep the Messenger app icon, but when you access it, Facebook will open and will take you to a section called “Chats.” If you look back, this was the original way in which Facebook has worked until 2011, and it was removed entirely from the main app in 2014.

However, reporter Jane Manchung Wong had found that Facebook wants to make those changes, but the company is still making tests. She also found that the testing version has basic text, no calls, video or photos, and no reactions.

Why Is Facebook Going Back to the Original Version?

According to Wong, Facebook wants to integrate all of its services. That means that the plan is to unify Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram for user privacy by adding end-to-end encryption. Of course, all of them will continue to work as standalone apps, and only the underlying architecture will be shared.

Also, Facebook has announced that they have thousands of developers that are working on the project, and the plans are to finish the project in late 2019, or early 2020. Facebook has published a statement about this news, saying that the purpose is to improve the messaging experience for people inside the Facebook app. That’s why they are making tests for merging Messenger back in the main Facebook app.

Summing up, Messenger will remain a feature-rich, stand-alone messaging app used by over a billion people around the world. Users are using the app each day to connect with people or businesses, so this might be a significant change for them.

iPhone 11 New Leaks, Release Date, Features, and Prices

Apple’s iPhone 11 or however it will be called is right around the corner, and it’s a device we’re waiting to check out, considering it’s the next flagship from Apple. Let’s see everything we know about the iPhone 11.

iPhone 11 Release Date, Prices

Looking back at the release dates of the iPhones in the past seven years, we’re 100% the iPhone 11 will be released in September 2019.

How much will the iPhone 11 cost? The 2018 iPhone XS was nearly $1300 (£999), a similar price to the iPhone X. This could mean that the iPhone 11 will have a price of around $1300, and considering the smartphone prices keep going up, it will certainly not be cheaper than the iPhone XS.

iPhone 11 Specs and Features

The iPhone XS had an A12 CPU, so the iPhone 11 will surely come with an A13 CPU. The new CPU should boost the performance in the next iPhone. Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo argued that the iPhone 11 would only come with 4GB of RAM.

Other features include a bigger battery, as Ming-Chi Kuo suggested, increasing the capacity boost by 25%. This means the Qi wireless charging will be great to charge the AirPods 2.

What we will not see in the iPhone 11 will be USB-C and 5G connectivity, but the good news is that it will have a very fast Wi-Fi because it will come with the latest Wi-Fi 6, which increases data speed by 40% and it will be four times better in crowded places.

iPhone 11 Design, Display, and Camera

As for the display and design, we believe it will keep the same iPhone X design. Even though new iPhone models bring new designs, it only happens once a few generations. The last design tweak was with the iPhone X, which is only two generations old, so we might have to wait for a while to see a new design from Apple.

While we expect to see the same notch on the iPhone 11, we cannot stop but wonder if they will change it, considering the competition is moving to other designs that look much better. Here is why we hope that the iPhone 11 will change the notch.

According to a United States Patent and Trademark Office filing, Apple wants to add “apparatus, systems or methods for camera integration with cover glass and for processing cover glass to provide a camera window for an electronic device.”

However, a patent application does not need that this design will be used, and if it is indeed integrated into an iPhone, it will certainly not be the iPhone 11.

The screen sizes will remain 5.8- and 6.5-inch, and will keep the OLED tech, with Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noting that the iPhone 11 will have a new OLED screen laminate.

The camera system on the iPhone 11 will probably come with a third camera if we are to take into account the leaks form @OnLeaks, who posted on Twitter the schematics for the back of the camera system.
