Apple has announced iris ID in its new headset, after which it will be possible to log in and transfer money with eyes. Photo: File Palo Alto, California: Apple plans to respond to Meta in the field of minimally mixed reality headsets offering advanced XR headsets with ten cameras installed.  According to analysts, it has the option of 'Iris ID' like the face ID of the iPhone. Apple's 'Iris ID' will be used in many cases that will enable them to connect to the account from Iris, access the platform or send or receive money from it.  The XR Mix Reality headset will be fitted with a powerful M2 chip that has already been introduced in the MacBook. Although the SR headset has been awaited for a long time, it is expected to be available in the market by mid-2023.  Earlier, Meta had announced its latest VR headset, Quest Pro. It is priced at $1,500 with eye tracking facilities and improved colors, including resolution. Then many important technologies have been used to i...

 Apple showed the new iPads in a quiet way. This time, it was done quietly without a fight. Apple "threw" the newest iPads into the Apple Store without telling anyone. He probably had a good reason. It doesn't mean anything to say that the prices of these things have gone up. They are completely crazy.  The 10th generation iPad is the first of the devices presented by Apple. The biggest change here is the refreshed design, which refers to the design already known from the last generations of the iPad Pro and iPad mini . Apple describes it as "frameless". Well, anyone with reasonably good eyesight will find it exaggerated.   10th generation iPad - new design, but old stylus The new iPad has a larger,   10.9-inch display  . Unfortunately, it's not a ProMotion screen, but a  Liquid Retina   panel with 60Hz refresh. Its resolution is  2360 x 1640 pixels.  The maximum brightness is  500 nits.   Other changes foll...

 The iPhone's operating system, iOS, received a fix from Apple on Thursday that addresses a number of bugs that surfaced during the iPhone 14's launch last week. Despite the fact that Apple frequently releases software updates after a phone's launch in response to newly discovered bugs, a number of problems with the new iPhones were widely reported in reports and on social media. Notably, iOS 16.0.2 resolves a camera shake problem where the camera makes an audible noise when it tries to focus in third-party apps like Snapchat and TikTok. The operating system also resolves an issue with data transfer from an older iPhone to an iPhone 14 (iPhone 14). In these transfers, the new device's screen may occasionally be completely black, necessitating a hard reset. The software changelog also says that Apple fixed a sound issue as well as an unresponsive touch issue on older devices. iOS 16.0.2 is available for download now.  It can be installed via Settings > General > So...

 Apple heroically destroyed the 3.5mm headphone jack with the iPhone 7 series seven years ago, and the iPhone 14 now signals the death of another component that we previously believed was impossibly hard to kill. A bit of a bipolar brand is Apple. On the one hand, it pioneers fashion and bravely treads where no one has gone before, but on the other, it frequently falls behind rivals when it comes to putting certain functions on its phones. It was highly audacious of them to release the iPhone 7 series in 2017 without a 3.5mm audio port for headphones, and nobody did not make fun of them at the time. First of all, their major competitors did this in order to eliminate the headphone jack in their phones when they released the following model. Similar circumstances occurred when the first companies brazenly began supplying the iPhone 12 series without a charger in the box two years ago. The situation kept happening. After being criticised and mocked at first, their fiercest competitor...

 Many industries are facing a significant component scarcity, thus some businesses had to come up with alternate solutions and were successful in doing so. like Apple, which creates components for its various iPhone models globally. The screens are made by the South Korean companies Samsung and LG, the battery is produced by the Chinese company Sunwoda Electronic, the microchips are produced by "third-party" manufacturers, the flash memory is created by the Japanese company Kioxa, and the display port interface is created by the Dutch company NXP Semiconductors.   Everything pertaining to the camera is also being developed in Japan, and Sony is in charge of it. American company Qualcomm is in charge of the 5G solutions, while Chinese company USI is in charge of the WiFi module and Apple itself produces the A15 processor in the United States. Apple is simultaneously bolstering its other business sectors so that it is less dependent on the iPhone.   Sales of the compan...

  State funds are therefore to be used to support start-ups and university projects in the implementation and research of the new operating system. According to the project plan, 300 billion US dollars are to be turned over by the electronics industry by 2026 – currently sales are 75 billion dollars. The government sees the new operating system as a door opener to playing at the top of the international electronics market. The Indian government up to the prime minister is also hoping for more foreign investment. “For the first time, investors and public markets are funding and investing in the technology sector,” said the minister. CHINA IS ALREADY PLANNING ITS OWN OPERATING SYSTEM FOR HUAWEI The Indian operating system is not the first attempt to break the market power of Silicon Valley. Many mobile phone users still remember the failed Blackberry and Windows Phone operating systems. In view of diplomatic tensions, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi also ...

 Apple reportedly needs to keep buying 5G modems from Qualcomm, so Qualcomm should be happy about that. It's unlikely that a separate chip will be ready in time. In 2023, Qualcomm will probably continue to count Apple as one of its top 5G modem clients. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted that Apple's efforts to introduce its own modem chip with the iPhone 15 next year likely failed. Kuo maintains strong relationships within the Asian supplier industry. In 2019, Apple acquired Intel's modem division to develop its own chips. Qualcomm officials had already warned investors that 80 percent of Apple's business could cease to exist by 2023, so the news comes as a surprise. However, industry insiders continue to believe that Apple could make its first attempts with its own modem chip as early as 2023, at least for a device with fewer sales, such as an iPad. The sheer quantity of iPhones poses a significant obstacle. Apple's pursuit of a modem chip focuses on enhanced performanc...

 The Apple HomePod mini was released at a time when other manufacturers' smart speakers had been available for quite some time. Source: Apple Apple's HomePod mini comes with a 150-cm-long built-in cable that terminates in a USB type C connector. It is always white, yellow, orange, blue, or space gray in color, just like the HomePod Mini. A USB-C power adapter with a 9V and 2.2A output is included. The box also includes the obligatory quick start guides, warranty and compliance information, and an Apple sticker.  The smart speaker is spherical and measures 84.3 mm high by 97.9 mm wide. The bottom and top, however, have been flattened. A textile mesh made of acoustically transparent fabric covers the sides, with a design that resembles a sea urchin cactus.  Perhaps this is why the color options are limited to white, yellow, orange, blue, and space gray. The Apple logo is displayed on the underside, which is circular and rubberized. The control panel is mounted on top of a c...

 The Apple Watch, or rather its watchOS operating system, was one of the highlights of WWDC 2022, which took place at Apple's headquarters (and, of course, online) last week; among other things, we discussed the upcoming news for Fitness Plus, a subscription service launched less than two years ago that gives users more options, features, and, most importantly, video courses to stay in shape according to their own preferences. sport and training level. Analysts at JP Morgan believe the company's future is bright. Source: Apple JP Morgan stated in a note to investors that the service has enough features to set it apart from its competitors, and that as a result, it will be able to continue to grow in the near future. This is despite the fact that the enormous push caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is now fading, and we are returning to normalcy, at least in part. Analysts estimate that the virtual fitness market will nearly double in size by 2021, from $ 6 billion in 2020 to $ 11...

 Apple has been dealt a severe blow by the European Union. On Tuesday, European Union countries and legislators agreed that mobile charging ports for phones, tablets, and cameras will be the same. This is the first time in the world that an official order will be used to determine which charging port will be installed in a device. Apple will have to change the connector of any iPhone it sells in Europe starting in 2024 as a result of the European Union's decision. According to the European Commission, this will save customers money. iPhones are charged with Lightning cables, while Android devices are charged with USB-C connectors. According to a 2019 Commission study, USB Micro-B connectors were found in half of chargers sold with mobile phones in 2018, with USB-C connectors accounting for 29% and Lightning connectors accounting for 21%. For the past ten years, Belgium has pushed for a universal mobile charging port for all businesses. iPhone and Android users, on the other hand, c...

By the end of 2024, USB, Type C chargers have been made mandatory for charging all smart devices in EU member states. On the other hand, the American tech company Apple has opposed the law by declaring it unnecessary. The European Union has decided that the same standard charger will be used for smartphones and tablets in all member countries. It was first proposed a decade ago, but member states have recently agreed on a draft law. After the implementation of this law, all users using smartphones and tablets in European countries will be able to charge their devices with USB, Type C charger. Andrei Kvachiev, a member of the European Parliament from Bulgaria, has been part of negotiations between member states on drafting the law. He says the new law will make the lives of European consumers easier and will also save the environment from electronic waste weighing about 11,000 tonnes a year. However, the EU's move is a major blow to Apple, the world's largest smartphone and tabl...

The European Commission takes the preliminary view that Apple has been responsible for an abuse of dominant position by limiting access to the technology that underlies the Apple Pay mobile electronic payment system. According to competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager, the information gathered so far indicates that Apple has violated European rules to the detriment of potential competitors by preventing it from developing other electronic payment systems that use Apple devices. If the allegations are confirmed, Apple could pay a fine of up to 10% of revenue. "Apple has limited access to the key inputs needed to develop and run mobile payment apps, so-called mobile wallets," said Vice President Vestager. He then recalled that in Europe the majority of payments by telephone are made using NFC technology. Apple's comment "We designed Apple Pay to provide users with an easy and secure way to digitally present their existing payment cards and to allow banks and other...

  Apple starts selling iPhone parts to fix the phone at home Fixing mobile phones is not an easy job. But Apple is interested in facilitating part of the process. On Wednesday, the manufacturer started selling parts to replace the iPhone's battery, display and other components. The initiative is part of a program that provides tools for independently repairing iPhones. The action is a result of the work of the Independent Repair Program. The initiative rose to a new level last year. At the moment only American consumers have access to this program. Components are available for purchase from Self Service Repair Store.The store only serves the new 3rd generation iPhone SE, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, including Mini, Pro and Pro Max

 Without question, the fully developed M1 processor, now hitting tablets to laptops on Apple desktops, is a masterpiece. However, this has not been easy to accomplish, and the coronavirus outbreak has been a major challenge in the end. Strict secrecy surrounded Apple's new processor, the chip called M1, which has since been slowly incorporated into everything from the iPad to MacBook laptops. The M1 development team was headed by someone named Johny Srouji who had been designing his own iPhones processors for some time. The success of Srouji lies in its ability to perfectly balance engineering and commercial needs.Srouji said the design of the M1 processor was a particular challenge, as they first had to clearly indicate that it would indeed make Apple products better. There was an obvious need for their own processor, a further challenge was that they "had to see into the future", not just in terms of where the technology would go. We can say that it went well, as the ba...

 The low-earth orbit radio technology was already expected for the iPhone. It is coming to Apple Smartwatches. A feature that was expected for Apple smartphones before the iPhone 13 came out is now set to come to the Apple Watch. This is reported by the financial news agency Bloomberg . The plan is for the computer watch to be able to make emergency calls even when there is no mobile phone reception - using so-called low-earth orbit satellite radio technology, or LEO for short, with which satellites in low earth orbit can be reached. Emergency SOS via satellite The feature would complement the emergency call SOS function already present on the smartwatch, which uses the LTE network. The device can automatically detect when a person has fallen - and then contact the authorities. Alternatively, emergency SOS can also be activated manually. With LEO, a significantly wider range for the function would be implemented, for example at sea or in the mountains. A transmission of the current...

 watchOS 9 , the next generation operating system dedicated to Apple Watch , could come to introduce a new energy saving mode that aims to allow users to use the smartwatch in a basic form while containing battery consumption. This would be an evolution of what is available on the current watchOS 8, or the " Low Power " mode which however significantly limits the functionality of the device by showing only the time. With the next version of the operating system, Apple aims to bring a concept already introduced with the energy saving mode on iPhone and iOS to its smartwatch. However, it is currently not known what the new energy saving mode will allow to do and if it is destined to really materialize in watchOS 9. The news of watchOS9, however, would not end here: among the rumors shared by Bloomberg there is that relating to a new function for the detection of any atrial fibrillations which this time will be able to keep track of the duration of the time window in which the u...

 The iPhone SE 2022 adventure doesn't seem to have started very well . This was reported by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a normally trusted voice for Apple products. The smartphone announced at the beginning of the month does not seem to have thrilled the market, so much so that according to Kuo, Apple has already adjusted the estimates for 2022 downwards . Previously DigiTimes had reported that the Apple would have expected to sell 30 million iPhone SE 2022 by the end of the year , now instead the information collected by Kuo indicates numbers as large as half or a little less : the forecast would have been revised to 15-20 million of unity , a sign that the reception of the public was not the warmest. TYPICAL APPLE OPERATION WHICH DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK The skepticism of some, at first, has understandable reasons. The cheapest iPhone of the range is aesthetically an iPhone SE 2020 , which in turn has the appearance of the iPhone 8 that that design brought it to the market in 2017, when...

 In addition to some improvements, the new iOS version 15.4 also brings some known problems: Apple confirmed user reports that the iPhone battery discharges much faster after installing the update. The update to version 15.4 of the Apple operating system iOS had to deal with irregularities in battery operation a few days after the release, as can be seen from various user reports on Twitter. The company itself has already responded to the problem in a tweet . After the installation of iOS 15.4, the battery life of iPhones is significantly reduced – in some cases, five percent battery consumption can be seen within ten minutes in sleep mode. Enormous heat developments on the back can also be observed more frequently with the update. iOS 15.4 battery problems: what to do? However, Apple sees no reason for concern in this regard. Instead, the company’s support site tweeted that these operations were common, noting that installed apps and software-side features would take up to 48 hour...

  Have you ever thought about it: What could or should be changed in the basic concept of a telephone call in 2022? Hard to imagine that there is anything there. And yet, the following idea is so brilliant that Apple would have to be crazy not to want to include it in the upcoming iOS 16 for the iPhone.  If you don’t know , you can actually still use a smartphone like the iPhone to make phone calls these days. Unfortunately, very few do, especially younger people who spurn contact in this way. Instead, there are text deserts or voice messages that you send to each other and then have to read through or listen to at length. A direct conversation seems to have fallen out of fashion. Revolutionary idea for iOS 16: Subject line for phone calls – wow So how could you make the telephone call itself more attractive again? Dan Mall, CEO of SuperFriendly, has a genuinely brilliant idea that will end up changing the way we call forever (Source: Dan Mall via 9to5Mac ).  The idea: Be...
