Apple Gives Up the Actual Design – The Change Occurs Now

A new iPhone X variant for tech- lovers

The enigma regards the name of the new “baby-tech”. It is unclear whether what we are looking is the ‘iPhone SE2’ (expected to be called the iPhone SE, again) or the ‘iPhone X SE’ (unlikely to be its final name), which means is a more expensive model – though still extremely affordable by expansion of the iPhone X line.

Apple adopts a hybrid design. The phone will be added a glass back to enable wireless charging. Unfortunately, the new model will not keep the iPhone SE’s headphone jack. But the changes are not always bad, right?

All about its dimensions

It supposes a bezel-less front display and Face ID technology, but the size is the same a little bit smaller than iPhone SE. New iPhone’s dimensions as 121.04 x 55.82 mm (4.8 x 2.2-inches) – fractionally smaller than the 123.8 x 58.6 mm (4.87 x 2.31-inches) of the iPhone SE. So the display is approximately 5-inches, given the iPhone X a 5.8-inch display, bigger than the 4.7-inch of  iPhone 8.

Probably Apple will only produce a second generation iPhone X and larger iPhone X Plus later this year. Even the most trustful sources cannot predict what model will be. If you ask me, then I would like to see an ‘iPhone SE 2’. I will also like it to be cheaper, but I guess this new model may be an internal upgrade of the current SE, so the price will be set near iPhone X and iPhone X Plus.

Anyway, I am surprised by the fact that the bigger models are getting cheaper, so this new model, which will be smaller than the older ones, have a great potential of being set at a higher price.

How to Get Rid of Mshelper From Your Mac

Mac computers rarely have security problems, and most hacker attacks target Windows users. However, this does not mean that there aren’t any issues. In fact, recently many users reported a problem that affected their battery life and fan rates.

It appears that a Mac malware, mshelper, is harmful for these computers. If you are wondering how you can get rid of it and fix your Mac, all you need to do is take a look below.

Check CPU usage

Mshelper is quite hard to detect. In fact, people observed it only when they noticed that there is something on their computers which is using a huge amount of the CPU capacity.  You can find this malware if you go to the Activity monitor and click the CPU tab to show you the highest CPU usage. Mshelper should be somewhere in the first positions.

Removing mshelper

When it comes to getting rid to Mac malware mshelper, things are a bit more difficult. This means that you will need to delete multiple files in order to remove the malware from your computer. First of all, you will need to go to /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.pplauncher.plist and delete that file. Secondly you will need to head over and delete /Library/Application Support/pplauncher/pplauncher.

No official solution

While this issue is one that should concern Apple, there has not been an official answer so far. However, Apple does take action usually, so in time we might receive a better solution. The malware should be also added to the macOS blacklist.

Until Apple takes action, you should handle the problem on your own. It is not complicated to delete those two files and you can be sure that your computer will be safer afterwards. In the future also make sure that you download from trusted sources.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Worth the Wait?

The leaked information about the Galaxy Note 9 don’t bring something new to the table. However, Samsung has confirmed that it will worth the wait.

According to the newspaper The Korea Herald, Gray G. Lee, head of the AI Center Under Samsung Research, announced that Galaxy Note 9 will have Bixby 2.0 as the smart assistant. Given the fact that last year users ridiculed Bixby on the Galaxy S8, Lee praised the new feature and said it will enhance enhances the performance and user experience, natural language processing and that it will improve noise resistance capability and faster response times.

However, Samsung has failed to keep up with its competitors – Google, Amazon and Apple – regarding artificial intelligence, but is now regaining strength. Lee characterized Bixby 2.0. as an “artificial intelligence platform”, expecting it to run on 14 million Samsung devices by the end of the year. Moreover, the company now has 1,000-strong AI workforce and will step up the game with involving itself with artificial intelligence businesses.

If the arguments above are not convincing enough, a mysterious leaker who goes by the name Ice Universe stated on Twitter that the Galaxy Note 9 will have a UX design that will be interactive for the users which they will benefit from. He went even further to say that we can call the new product Crown UX. It is worth to mention that Ice Universe has been the Galaxy Note 9’s biggest critic in recent weeks, so to read such a statement praising the product makes the launch more intriguing as it was before.

Samsung has had problems with the software before, so an improvement is welcomed. However, there is still a problem with the Galaxy Note 9 hardware. We won’t have to wait long to find out it the software will make-up for this feature.
