Samsung Revealed Three “Infinity” Notch Designs and A Notchless “New Infinity” Display

The giant South Korean tech company, Samsung has just revealed four different screen designs at its 2018 developer conference. Three of these new screens come with various examples of a notch, while the fourth, “New Infinity,” is a notchless display.

The first three designs, dubbed as “Infinity-U,” “Infinity-V,” and “Infinity-O,” are showing a different notch design each. Infinity-U comes with a notch shaped like a letter “U,” Infinity-V boast a cut like a letter “V,” while the last one presents an O-shaped notch placed on the top-right side of the screen.

Interestingly, the Infinity-O design looks like the Samsung Galaxy S10 render, recently made by Ben Geskin. His render shows a Galaxy S10 device with an O-shaped notch on the top of the screen where the selfies camera would be put.

However, the notchless New Infinity display boasts a screen with almost no bezels and no notch. To be honest, this New Infinity screen looks fantastic.

Besides “Infinity-U,” “Infinity-V,” “Infinity-O,” and “New Infinity,” Samsung also presented its new Infinity Flex Display for its upcoming Samsung folding smartphone, the so-called Galaxy F.

As mentioned, at Samsung’s 2018 developer conference, the South Korean giant tech company presented its new designs for its Infinity display series. Each of the first three designs, dubbed as Infinity-U,” “Infinity-V,” and “Infinity-O,” boasts a uniquely-shaped notch. Besides these models, Samsung also revealed its “New Infinity” design which is a notchless screen with very thin, almost invisible, bezels.

The latter, the New Infinity display design, could be the one the fans would love the most if implemented on an upcoming Samsung design as the notches are increasingly less popular, lately.

In conclusion, Samsung revealed three Infinity notch designs and a notchless New Infinity display. One of the notch designs, the so-called Infinity-O, appeared recently, in a somewhat different form, however, in Ben Geskin’s render of Samsung Galaxy S10.

A Jailbreak for iPhone XS Max which Operates on iOS 12.1 Available Soon

Ever since the last version of iOS was released, users have been interested in seeing how a jailbreak would work on this operating system. Recently, this ”dream” became true thanks to Keen Security Lab.

A member of their team, Liang Chen, managed to jailbreak the new iPhone XS Max, a device ran by iOS 12.1. He announced his accomplishment on Twitter and added that he will make a presentation about the jailbreak during POC 2018.

Chen’s presentation can be seen on the 9th of November

According to Liang Chen’s social media channel, he will be moderating the panel this Friday, November 9th, between 16:30 – 17:30. Unfortunately, people cannot expect to actually see any footage presenting the jailbreak process.

Chen might not be able to make a practical demonstration of his work on jailbreaking iOS 12.1 on an iPhone XS Max because of his job. Tencent Keen Security Lab was created in 2016 (January). Their purpose is to focus on researching security matters for PCs, IOT smart devices, applications, mobile devices, cloud computing technologies and others.

In addition, Tencent Security applies their research on their own products and technologies. This means that a jailbreak like the one recently completed by Chen might not be in their line of interest.

iOS 12.1 users are happy to hear that their operating system can be subject to jailbreak. A lot of them say that this version is far better the previous parts, so they will follow Chen’s work very closely.

Other say that there’s no point in proving that you jailbreak an operating system unless you show the process to the public. Usually, it can take months until people like Chen show how they managed to do what they claim and it could be too late, since iOS users might already upgrade their systems.

Instagram Might Launch Instagram Storied For Schools

Instagram is reportedly working on a school-only version of Instagram Stories. The new system would work in such a way that students in a school, and only them, would make collective contributions to their school’s Stories. The possible existence of this new feature has been found in the social network code by Manchun Wong, a software researcher known for the numerous social network discoveries.

Instagram, for its part, has not commented on this, which could indicate that the tool is at an early stage of development. Apparently, the idea is that schools would have a space similar to Instagram Stories in which only the students of the respective schools can upload (and see) the content. In this way, a safe space is created, out of other people’s eyes, where kids can use social networks in their community.

What Manchun Wong found in the code lines of the new Instagram Stories seems to suggest that, in order to prevent school’s Instagram Stories from becoming a bullying nest, all uploaded content would be reviewed by some human moderators, most likely, professors of the respective schools.

Instagram Might Launch An Instagram Storied Feature For Schools

That would avoid the failures of automatic moderation systems, based on artificial intelligence and user reports, and would give a safe space to the youngest.

The presence of a human team constantly monitoring the content may be a too-high investment for Instagram, but, of course, it is better than the alternative of letting bullying and harassment get away with it. Nothing has yet been confirmed, so Instagram Stories for schools could arrive at a later time, or it might never launch, in fact.

In any case, it makes sense that Instagram Stories would dedicate to a niche mostly ignored by other social networks.
