Apple Will Launch 5G iPhone Models With Qualcomm Chipset In 2020

A new report came this month about Apple 5G iPhone models that will be launching in 2020. It is revealed that Apple could miss the rumored 2020 deadline launching on its 5G iPhones. It is said that Apple could have some issues with their 5G modems because of its ongoing litigation with Qualcomm. In this case, Qualcomm is the company that will supply Apple with the chipsets for the upcoming 5G smartphones.

We also have good news regarding those reports. Apple can still produce their 5G devices for the 2020 timeline. A new report from Nikkei Asian Review is stating that Apple and Qualcomm had stopped this disagreement and settle to a new partnership. So that means that Apple will launch their 5G iPhones with Qualcomm chipsets and most probably they will arrive in 2020 as they previously reported.

5G iPhone models would come out in 2020 with Qualcomm chipset

However, in this previous report, it was said that Apple could obtain chipsets from Intel or Samsung. Even Huawei was the one to offer their help and sell their tech to Apple. Huawei has been making its own chipsets for a time, they are making it for their own devices, but now they are making this offer. The idea had come from the fact that Apple and Qualcomm are in disagreements, and on Intel, they can’t relay, so maybe that was the motive behind Huawei’s offer.

Moreover, the interesting fact is that Apple did not take Huawei offer, and they are going to produce the 5G iPhones on their own terms, in the partnership with Qualcomm. This fact could have good results, thinking that Apple is waiting one year to launch its 5G iPhone, like they always did when they prepared for some great delivery. See the case of the LTE network where the company had waited for a while until they adopted the tech and resolved the problems.

PlayStation 5 Technical Specs Revealed by Mark Cerny From Sony

We have some new information from Sony, some little teasers about the next-generation console. Those details come from Mark Cerny, the lead system architect of PlayStation 4, which reveals some details about the new coming console, the PlayStation 5.

The name of the future console isn’t yet confirmed. Cerny gives valuable information about the next-gen PlayStation. The fact that is based on PS4 architecture that it’s backward compatible and that it’s not coming only in digital format device, it will have as well physical disc.

Cerny says that the transition from PS4 to PS5 is a gentle one, numerous games will be released for both consoles, and that PlayStation 5 will be an iteration of its previous model, not very different like it happened to the PS3 and its predecessor.

PlayStation 5 technical specs

PlayStation 5 will have an AMD chip with a CPU based on the third-generation Ryzen, with eight cores of seven-nanometer Zen 2 microchip, and will support 8K resolution.

Moreover, the graphics will be driven by a custom version of Radeon’s Navi line, and it can support ray tracing. The audio will be the best improvements on the new device. With the AMD chip, they can enable 3D sound for a better immersing of the player. The hard drive, on the other hand, will probably be a solid-state drive, towards the other equivalents in current consoles are slower. We know that an SSD is found in laptops now, but Sony wants to bring it and use it on the new PlayStation, and it will be specialized for the hardware.

However, this shared architecture between the two models will create a smooth path for games being developed on one of them, and later to appear on the other one. Other more information wasn’t given; it is still unclear when PS5 will be revealed and when they will launch it since Sony hadn’t participated to E3 this year.

iOS 12 Jailbreak Is Having Problems Defeating Apple’s iOS 12.2

Having an iPhone has a messy part when you want to liberate your device by jailbreaking it. The problem is that Apple has done its best with the new iOS12.2 version that even the iOS Jailbreak 12 can’t go through the latest update. If you want to be free from Apple’s prison, Jailbreak’s developers are warning you to not update to the new iOS 12.2.

Moreover, it looks that from now it will be hard to bypass Apple’s security, even with the recent iOS Jailbreak 12 Unc0ver App. The developer, pwn20wnd is saying that iOS Jailbreak 12 can be the last working version for iPhone user. The problem is what will happen in the long term? We don’t know if Jailbreak will continue to move forward and try to update and improve its application, or if the users will remain stuck in the iOS 12.2. We don’t know if Apple will continue to improve their security or if they finished for now with the last update. On the other hand, time will prove that even the best protection will remain the best, because if at this moment iOS Jailbreak 12 Unc0ver is the best way to unlock some of Apple’s devices, for sure there may come someone that is going to make an application more advanced.

Also, the developer of iOS Jailbreak 12 Unc0ver is saying that they are working for a fix in the case of the users that can’t benefit from the app. He said that at this moment he’s waiting for an update on Cydia Substrate for arm64e from Saurik. The Unc0ver v3.0.0 is still in beta because pwn20wnd wants to implement full-fledged A12-A12X support before it’s releasing it. His message for users is to have patience, and good things will come for those who wait.

Viber 10.5.0.5 Update Available to Download with the Dark Mode and Enhanced Group Voice Calls

One of the latest trends in the app industry is the Dark Mode. This mode has already been introduced by all the most popular apps such as YouTube and Facebook for example. There are many benefits to having a Dark Mode but the most important one is the fact that it makes the app’s UI (user interface) look sleek. Viber is one of the apps that loves to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to new features and therefore, the latest update for Viber brings the much-anticipated Dark Mode alongside many other software changes.

Viber Gets Dark Mode

The latest update for Viber sports the 10.5.0.5 version number and it has been recently released. This is a high-priority update for all Viber users because it doesn’t just introduce the cool looking Dark Mode, but it also brings a couple of important enhancements to group voice calls. Nonetheless, the Dark Mode is now available in the Settings panel and all Viber users can enable it if they like how it looks.

What’s great about the Dark Mode is that it doesn’t just look cool, but it also lowers the overall amount of battery power that Viber uses on average. To make things even better, the Dark Mode is also perfect for people who work late night shifts and hate it when the brightness of their smartphone is temporarily blinding them.

Enhanced Group Voice Calls

As previously noted, Viber’s latest update also introduces a couple of software tweaks that enhance the performances of group voice calls. The first change that Viber users are going to notice is that the app now supports up to five participants in group voice calls. This is a big change and it makes it easier for Viber users to share information with their friends and family members.

Google Test A New Android Update System In Android Q Beta

Android Q is still in development, and it looks like Google plans to add some interesting features. Google Pixel owners have access to the beta version of the upcoming OS, and some users discovered that Google might be testing a new way to deliver Android updates.

A few threads surfaced on popular platforms, with select users stating that they received some updates via the download manager feature of the Google Play app. Until now firmware updates could be accessed by using the Settings app and the change may raise some interesting questions.

The new feature may seem a bit odd since it’s different from the usual standard used by the industry. It is believed that the new update protocol would allow the tech corporation to release the updates directly, eliminating the annoying delays which are often caused by OEM and carriers. Faster updates sound good in theory, but there is more to them than the delivery time.

In Android Q Beta, Google tests a new method to deliver Android updates

Many Android users don’t know that updates arrive at a slower pace because manufacturers and carriers have to check how the update interacts with the device before it is released for everyone. Google tried to speed up the process in the past with Project Treble and the A/B Seamless update protocol, but some believe that the rate at which updates are released can be improved.

If the updates aren’t optimized for the device there a high risk of facing major bugs and problems and a bricked device isn’t exactly fun to use.

Select sources claim that some Pixel devices restarted immediately after these updates were installed. No prompts appeared during the process, which appears to be automatic. It is likely that power users will not appreciate this implementation since it takes away some of the freedom provided by the OS.

There is plenty of time to refine the feature before Android Q will become available and it may not make it to the final version. Only time will tell.
