iPhone 11 Revealed in A Leaked Mock Render, Reportedly

Thanks to Steve Hemmerstoffer, OnLeaks on Twitter, we can see the upcoming iPhone 11 in a leaked mock render based on the “100 percent legit prototypes.” For these new iPhone 11 images, OnLeaks partnered up with the Indian website CompareRaja, and together they’ve come up with the mock render of the future 2019 iPhone model.

“Here comes your very first and very early look at yet another 2019 iPhone prototype! Discover it right now through gorgeous 5K renders made on behalf of my Friends over CompreRaja,” said Steve Hemmerstoffer on Twitter.

“Based on the above renders, the iPhone 2019 [iPhone 11] could retain a similar front body as the current iPhone but will have a smaller notch and slightly thinner bezels (unnoticeable to naked eyes). The big difference could be on the back where you can see horizontally stacked triple rear camera module placed at the center. The camera unit comprises three sensors + a circle flash around the center camera lens + mic below the center camera,” according to CompareRaja.

iPhone 11 Revealed in A Leaked Mock Render, Reportedly

Apple is planning to roll out three 2019 iPhone models in September this year. While we don’t know much about them, not even which would be their official names, the popularly dubbed iPhone 11 series which would come in autumn would follow the same lines of the 2018 iPhone models.

Accordingly, we might have a direct successor of the iPhone XR, which would be the most affordable device of the iPhone 11 series. Also, there would be two high-end variants, out of which users expect a powerful iPhone 11 model which, according to the iPhone 11 leaked mock render, would boast three cameras on its back with a circular LED flash surrounding the central sensor.

According to some rumors, two of the 2019 iPhone models would come with OLED screens, while the third would boast an LCD (the successor of iPhone XR). Also, according to some leakers, Apple would implement 5G network support in its highest-end iPhone 11 model, while others said that the Cupertino-based company would delay 5G support to 2020.

Viber Messenger 9.9.6.8: Download Available with New Features

We think it’s safe to say that Viber is the free, most safe and fast messaging app out there. More than 1 billion of people have used it all around the globe. And it’s understandable, if we are to look at what it has to offer.

First of all, this app is entirely free, and all you need is a Wi-Fi connection or a data plan. You can even make international calls, open group chats, send text messages – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Why should I get it?

Apps from desktop and tablet get fully synced

Viber gets fully synced to your laptop or tablet. You can see all your messages from your desktop.

Video calls and phone calls

You won’t get interrupted by the fact that you cannot hear what the other person says – not anymore.

Low-cost calls to Landlines

You can call landlines, or people who don’t use Viber or really anyone, even if they don’t have internet or a mobile phone. All of this can happen with Viber Out ’s international calling service.

Free messages

This app allows you to send free text messages, send photos to your friends, GIFs or stickers or even videos.

Group Chats

You can create group chats, as you’d expect. But get this – you can add up to 250 members.

You’re going to have 100% privacy

The app comes with end-to-end encryption, so any type of info or file that you share on Viber will stay between you and that specific person. The message gets to the user in the form of an encrypted code that can only be read by their device, which will translate it to text using an encryption key. This key is only on the device – your device – so no one will get it (not even the people from Viber).

What’s new?

You can not create a poll in any group chat and watch how they vote. You get up to 15 minutes of recording time and you can rewind or fast forward listening your audio messages.

Google Will Eliminate Play Store Apps That Don’t Comply With The New Call Log and SMS Policies

In October, Google adopted new, stricter, call log and SMS policies, and granted apps developers 90 days to bring their applications into compliance with the new regulations. Now, that period is coming to an end, so Google will eliminate all the Play Store apps that don’t comply with the new call log and SMS policies.

According to Google, the Internet giant decided to adopt stricter policies regarding call log and SMS permissions because some apps abused the function. In short, Google wants to protect users from potentially malicious apps and private data leaks.

“As previously announced and directly communicated to developers via email, we’ll be removing apps from the Google Play Store that ask for SMS or Call Log permission and have not submitted a Permissions Declaration Form. If you have not submitted a permissions declaration form and your app is removed, see below for next steps,” said Paul Bankhead, Director, Product Management at Google Play Store on Android Developers Blog.

Google Will Eliminate Play Store Apps That Don’t Comply With The New Call Log and SMS Policies

“Our new policy is designed to ensure that apps asking for these permissions [call log and SMS] need full and ongoing access to the sensitive data in order to accomplish the app’s primary use case and that users will understand why this data would be required for the app to function,” Paul Bankhead added.

Paul Bankhead also explained what Google would consider when reviewing a submission:

  • The likelihood that an average user would understand why this type of app needs full access to the data.
  • User benefit of the feature.
  • Importance of the permission relative to the core functionality of the app.
  • Risks presented by all apps with this use case having access to this sensitive data.
  • Availability of more narrow alternatives for enabling the feature.

According to Google, tens of thousands of devs have already resubmitted their apps to comply with the new call log and SMS policies. Those applications which do not meet the requirements, however, will be deleted from the Google Play Store.
