How to clean Airpods & Charging Case

Ease of usage, convenience, seamless connection with other devices is some of the key reasons why Apple’s AirPods have been a great hit among users. Not only that the wireless charging case too adds to the appeal. However when it comes to anything earbuds or earphones, they get a lot of usage. With usage too comes a lot of dirt. Over time these earbuds build up with wax, dirt and other sorts of grime. Ok yeah it is easy cleaning out the white portion of these earbuds. But what about the black grille portion? If you’re interested in cleaning them out, in this post we’ll be showing you how to clean AirPods & Charging case. If you haven’t thought of cleaning it, then there’s definitely going to be some build up. So without further ado let’s get to cleaning.

Here are some things you’re going to need: 

You will need:

• A cotton swab

• Tooth Pick

• Microfiber cloth

Now to getting started in how to clean AirPods & Charging case: 

In order to clean your AirPods and charging case just follow these steps:

• From the cotton swab remove a little cotton for a more narrower tool to work with.

• While trying to clean your AirPods & charging case make sure you don’t use any sort of liquids. You don’t know how they will react to the device.

• For tougher spots you can use the tooth pick. The tooth pick will be able to get in to never before gone areas and clean them out.

• If there are still a couple of spots that could use a finer cleanse, then you could always try using a paper clip. Just make sure you don’t damage you’re device while doing so.

• Blu Tack is another great option when it comes to removing tough grime from your AirPods.

Apple’s Advice in Cleaning your AirPods & Charging Case: 

Apple’s only advice seems to be to use a lint free cloth. Besides that they also say not to use any liquids, aerosols and don’t leave moisture in any openings. If needed slightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol.

A micro fiber cloth is great for the outside of your AirPods, but when it comes to the inside, it is better to use a tooth pick or a cotton swab. But whatever use make sure you’re using it with care. You don’t want anything getting damaged or any free cotton fiber getting stuck inside.

Apple also sells these microfiber cloths for $9 for a six pack and $10 for a 24 pack. A little heads up- the 24 pack cloth one is larger than the 6 pack one.

Cleaning the Charging Case: 

When it comes to cleaning the charging case, it is the charging ports that tend to get dirty. Before you try anything else, it’s better to use a blow dryer to get out any of the dirt. Whatever you do be gentle as that spot can get damaged easily.

In case you’re in a tough spot and that too literally, you can always head on to your local Apple store for some help.

All Glass- iPhone on the Cards?

A recent research conducted by Apple details an all- glass iPhone. This so called “display” will show icons, information as well as images. With the all- Glass iPhone the entire surface will be touch sensitive. With phones there is always the need to hold it in the right orientation. The mouth piece goes down and the speaker up. But with a glass surface this need not be the case.

No Right or Wrong Orientation with Apples New All- Glass iPhone: 

Today to use Face ID you’d have to hold your phone in just the right position lest it does not work. Or to call someone too it is the same. You’re not going to hold the mouth piece to your head, right? But with the new iPhone on the cards, perhaps, all this will be in the past.

There will be no right or wrong orientation but just anything you please. The newly patented phone will reportedly have a 6 faced glass enclosure. It’s not definite as of now but it is assumed that the major portion will display the majority of controls and other icons. This may be true as you’d need to have easy access to certain apps and such.

An All Glass- iPhone Enclosure: 

At present all phones these days use the glass component as a looking glass from which you can see and access various apps. But with the all new all- glass iPhone, the glass will be an all- round enclosure. The way it will be made will be so seamless as to suggest it is made from a single piece of glass.

Besides there being an aesthetic purpose to the all- glass iPhone it will also be more functional that today’s phones.

Functional and not just merely for looks? 

The all glass facade will make the iPhone more functional. How you might say? The phone will then have multiple displays with both the front, back and sides of the phone being displays. With that also comes touch sensitivity. The phone will now be touch sensitive all round. This thus makes for a very functional phone. It will be interesting to see what Apple comes up with in this regard.

So what Happens to the All Glass- iPhone Buttons? 

The buttons that now find a place on the iPhone may be replaced with all glass. The new displays could work in such ways so as to allow a person to use the surface instead, to say, mute or control the volume. According to various reports Apple is also planning on using the side displays to show app information. Such information could include stock related info and weather information.

As for the wall paper, it will supposedly go around right from the front to the sides, more like a gift wrap I guess.

Apple also says that anything displayed on one side can be displayed on the other sides of the glass facade as well. This gives you more of the seamless impression that they are intending to make.

New Apple Maps Available in U.S

The tech giant announced new Apple Maps to everyone in the US. The redesigned maps have recently reached all users in the United States and are soon to reach users in Europe too. The plan to redesign its maps came out in June 2018. Since then the first rollout of the new Apple maps started in Southeastern US sometime last month.

What do the new Apple maps have in Store for you? 

The new Apple maps have a lot more detail as compared to before. This time around the new and improved Apple maps will show you a better view of roads, buildings, parks and a lot more. Apple began its new and improved map journey starting in the US in the past year and a half.

Apple’s senior Vice president of internet software and services also said that company plans on bringing out the new Apple maps to the rest of the world too. But when this would happen is not stated as far. The only next stop on the new Apple map destination is Europe.

Apple’s First Rodeo with maps: 

Apple’s first foray into the map world began in 2012. However the launch was not all hunky dory, it started with a lot of bugs. Since then Apple has made various improvements in the form of updates to compete with Google Maps, the Father of all maps.

In iOS 13 Apple also released ‘Look Around’- The Apple version of Google Maps’ Street View. But just like the new Apple maps that have recently been released, this one too is still a work in progress. Only places such as New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Las Vegas, Oahu and Houston have got Look Around. What Apple’s Look Around has to offer that Google maps’ Street view doesn’t have is a high 3D resolution that offers more detail and smoother transitions. Look Around may make an appearance in other cities too, after Apple’s nationwide launch. Exactly when that will happen is anyone’s guess. But we hope sooner rather than later.

The new Apple maps also include real time transit data as well. Again this appears to be rolling out only in major cities such as San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Washington and L.A. Miami has been recently added too.

What Does the New Apple maps include? 

The updated Apple Maps includes Look Around, Collections, Real time transit information, Favorites, a share ETA feature, information for new travel, flight statuses, indoor maps for malls as well as airports, Flyover and Siri as natural language guidance. Flyover is a feature that offers immersive 3D views of major metros as from above. Flyover is available in more than 350 cities at present.
Apple plans on using the imagery it collects to update its Look Around feature. It also plans on upgrading the maps platform in Europe shortly.

However with all being said and done, Apple’s main standout feature in the new Apple Map happens to be Privacy.

Apple Finger Devices and More

Back in 2019, patently Apple reported that Apple would be making Apple finger devices. These new Apple finger devices would be made to work with a future Apple mixed reality headset. You would be able to feel objects in a VR environment and more. In the real world users would also be able to interact with real objects like a HomePod, MacBook, Home Automation device or even a TV. Not only that you would also be able to make in air gestures that would give commands to the headset.

News of more Apple Finger Devices: 

Recently Apple published a fourth patent detailing more about their Apple finger devices for headsets. The new patents cover not only details of a new finger device but also a head set with display for virtual worlds.

The new Apple Finger Devices Patent details: 

The new Apple finger device is said to have a touch sensor which will supposedly gather information on an object as it moves along an exterior surface. The external surface can be the tip of a finger. The touch sensor is also said to have a one dimensional as well as two dimensional array of sensors. These sensors can be in the form of capacitive sensor electrodes or touch sensor elements. These various sensor elements will be based on optical sensing, ultrasonic sensing and more. There may also be sensors that gather input data from an area not in contact with the finger device but which comes in contact with a person’s finger.

Sensors such as ultrasonic sensors, force sensors, inertial measurement sensors, optical sensors and others will be used to get information on the user’s activities while viewing virtual content. This will have to work along with data that it receives from a head mounted device.

The data that the Apple finger device receives can be used to manipulate virtual objects. You will be able to move things in a virtual world or maybe even open up a list of options based on data gathered. In other scenarios you’ll be even able to interact with real world objects as computer generated stuff is overlaid on top of the object in a virtual world.

Interactions such as these will allow you to even control virtual objects.

In another patent: 

To work along- side the Apple finger device, Apple has come up with a headset for VR or AR content. One of the major drawbacks to using a traditional VR or AR headset is that it bulkiness makes it uncomfortable for anyone to wear. To remedy this Apple has come up with a patent that allows you to see VR or AR content using glasses.

Another thing about the traditional headset is that it was cheap, therefore affordable to many but now with this new patent costs could be prohibitive to a lot of users. It also proposed in the patent, that a 3D map be taken of a person’s head. This will then be used in ensuring a perfect face fit module to be selected.

Apple Pencil Could be Getting a Lot More Interesting!

Two generations of Apple Pencil have gone by, each with their own set of gizmos. Which I might add have impressed us. But apparently Apple is not done yet with their Apple pencil. News is that the latest in the line- up could be getting a lot more interesting. In a latest patent filed by Apple we get to see what we can expect from Apple pencil 3.0- Just a name given.

New Patent and All we can expect from the - to – be - Apple Pencil: 

A new patent discovered by the one and only Apple Insider details how the next Apple Pencil will come. Apparently we’ll be seeing a lot more gestures with the new Gadget than its second gen counterpart. In the 2nd version of the Apple pencil we merely had a double tap input scenario going on but this time around that input range will get a lot more wider.

An example of things to come is a touch sensitive panel found on the side of the pencil which will allow the user to slide up and down to scroll through web pages.

The whole idea in making an Apple pencil with a lot more range if I may, is that normally when a user is holding a stylus or some other sort of writing impetus they are kinda limited by what they can do. To overcome this limitation Apple has decided to introduce a new and improved Apple pencil with more gesture capabilities.

Newer Ways of Making the Apple Pencil More Interesting? 

Another method as outlined by the patent, to make the Apple pencil more interesting is by allowing the user to roll the stylus or pencil in their hands to control something on screen.

There is also mention of a camera on the stylus in the patent that could probably help it in understanding what it is writing on and such. A little AI here and there wouldn’t be so bad eh!

However this is something that Apple has had in the wood works for some time now. So it is unclear whether it will make an appearance anytime soon.

Things of the Past…

Taking cue from previous patents Apple has also included support for other Apple devices. The so mentioned devices include the Apple TV and Apple Watch. But then again these are things of past mention as well. So who knows if they’ll be making an appearance in the Apple Pencil 3.0

As with all patents by all tech companies there is no surety when or even if these gadgets and gizmos will ever make it to any production belt, let alone any market. Tech companies keep patenting stuff that will never see the light of day. But one can only hope that the next Apple Pencil we see will have all that is expected and more.

A little side note- Apple’s pencils are some of the more advanced stylus’ out there. At present the latest of them comes with a double gesture tap system that we hope will get better.

Future Apple Watch is about to Incorporate Joystick-Like Digital Crown

When it comes to interactive methods, the Apple watch is the winner. There are numerous interactive methods combined in an Apple watch. Some of the ways that you will find in this watch are voice control, side screen, touch sensor, as well as the Digital Crown. However, they think that their technology is not enough, and they need further improvement.

Recently, the Trademark Office and US Patent granted a patent. The patent states that "Capacitive gap sensor ring for an electronic watch." Besides, Apple is planning to convert the digital crown into a kind of joystick. Also, it will serve the purpose of the direction controller.

There is a possibility that the Digital Crown can be created through a shaft or a cap. After that, they will cover it with some of the capacitive elements in the middle of the two surfaces. Therefore, you can understand that one surface will rotate and move from another surface. To be precise, it will work like a shaft located within a ring.

Besides, they will comprehend the position of the internal element concerning the outer version. They will do it by pointing out the changes in the capacitance in the different layers of capacitors. To be precise, they check the capacitance difference in the touching points of the capacitors.

The measurement depends on the values, comprehended by the capacitive elements present in the fixed-in-place structure. The orientation of the other section with relation to the rotations doesn't matter. There is a possibility that they will use some of the measurements to find out the central element, which is connected with the outside section. Thus, it will help to determine how you must rotate the crown during the time of contact.

In case, if you want to determine the length where the crown is pressed into the watch, you can use numerous rows of capacitive elements. From the fundamental ground, it will help you to determine whether the crown is pressed or not. However, if you can add some more rows of capacitors, it will help you in precise, granular detection.

Just like the joysticks, the company will follow a return mechanism where the central element will come back to the center.

Besides, Apple is also planning to add some graphical elements to its watch. We all know that Apple doesn't use a cursor, and for that reason, they are planning to incorporate the graphical elements. Also, they are trying to make the movements compatible with the interface of the screen.

Well, Apple places a lot of patent applications regularly. However, those applications convey their field of interest. To be precise, they are trying to make efforts in these specific fields. But, there is no guarantee that they will incorporate these features in the future.

There are other filings related to the apple watch like EMG sensors, which will help you to measure your muscle movements. There is also the feature of hands-free tilts control.

So, these are the things that you must know about the future of apple watch.

Apple Removed 17 Malware Infected Apps Published

From the past few days, we hear a lot of buzz about the malware-infected apps in social media. Although it's not that new, but tech giants have taken the issue seriously and removing some apps from their app stores.

Recently, Google has removed 42 apps from its Google play store without any statement. They have deleted these apps because those apps have malware which works actively in the background. Now, its Apple turn, so it has removed 17 malware-infected apps from its App store.

Here the exciting news is, all the 17 malware-infected apps are published by a Gujrat based company called App Aspect.

Apple has mainly removed these apps quietly because these apps are delivering malware to generate money by clicking ad links. The malware is working actively in the background without device user knowledge. So, Apple has removed these apps from its official APP Store.

Even though all the 17 apps are less malicious than other malware-infected apps, but these apps still pose a threat to the device. These will slow down the machine and drain the device batteries because they run in the background.

 Malicious Apps

App Aspect Technologies is a Gujarat based app Development Company which has published 51 apps. In those 51 apps, Apple has removed 17 apps from the Play store. Rest all apps are usually working.

The Wandera, the security company, has discovered these malicious apps and reported it to the APPLE. While finding the malware apps, they found them with these titles like RTO Vehicle information, Crick One - Live Cricket Scores, EMI Calculators and more.
All these apps are falling in the full range of categories such as travel, productivity, Utilities and more.

Michael Covington, the Vp of product strategy at Wandara, said that "We believe these apps has bypassed the Apple vetting process because the app developers didn't put any of the bad code directly into the app".

Instead of that, the apps were configured to obtain commands from the payloads that come directly from the server. These aspects are outside of Apple's review, so it has missed the Apple Removal process.

Although there is no direct damage done in downloading these apps on the device, but, background activity will drain battery life and also eat up the mobile data. So, Wandera has reported it to the Apple store.

Wandera says that "Apps were able to evade the App Store Review Process, mainly because they didn't have any malicious code in it. But it has received the instructions from the remote server.
Most of you might be eagerly waiting for these mobile apps, right? If you are waiting to see the list, then have a look at them.

List of 17 apps that are published by AppAspects Technologies that are removed from the App store:

• CrickOne - Live Cricket Scores


• Smart GPS Speedometer

• Daily Fitness -- Yoga Poses

• FM Radio -- Internet Radio

• RTO Vehicle Information

• EMI Calculator & Loan

• File Manager - Documents

• My Train Info - IRCTC & PNR

• BMI Calculator - BMR Calculator

• Dual Accounts

• Video Editor - Mute Video

• Islamic World - Qibla

• Around Me Place Finder

• Easy Contacts Backup Manager

• Smart Video Compressor

• Ramadan Times 2019

• Restaurant Finder - Find Food. 

These are the apps which are removed by the Apple from the App Store if you are using these apps, then its best to remove them as it may affect you later. Although it's not malicious but its best to remove them ASAP to save your battery life.

iPhone SE 2 Leak Ahead of Early 2020 Launch

Rumors of Apple iPhone SE 2 have been doing the rounds for some time now. Since Apple unveiled its iPhone SE, rumors started of a new successor to that phone. But Apple has remained mum on the issue. Yet again, rumor mills have started churning; this time around it has to do with an updated antenna. The so-called updated antenna will supposedly improve connectivity. The details are not so clear cut at the moment, but the supposed antenna is made from LCP.

Antenna for the Rumored iPhone SE 2: 

It all started when renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo started releasing information on the device. The latest to come from her direction was news of an antenna. The antenna is said to improve connectivity for the phone.

The report does not give details of what the antenna will be made out of but has hinted at an LCP based antenna. Another thing mentioned is that one of Apple’s suppliers is rumored to be providing the antennas components in early 2020 for iPhone SE 2.

The antenna will be able to deliver gains of up to 5.1 decibels and will also fit within an adjustable package. This should help with packaging.

LCP is a substance that is a low-cost organic substrate. This substrate works consistently and is said to have a low loss outcome.

Back to our analysis- Launch of the iPhone SE 2 maybe sometime in 2020. This time around there has been no fresh news of what to expect from the handset. But if previous reports are to be believed, then the new iPhone SE 2 will run on an Apple A13 SoC, with 3GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. The phone is also rumored to be 5G compatible.

Rumored Price of the new iPhone SE 2: 

The phone is rumored to be available at $399.

In Other Apple News: 

In some previous report it was also hinted that Apple was planning on launching 4 new iPhone 12s. All of these rumored iPhone 12s seem to be 5G compatible as well. Apple had finally incorporated a third sensor to its iPhone 11 Pro Max. Reports also suggest that Appel is also going to add a ToF sensor on next year’s model as well.

What the iPhone SE 2 will Look Like: 

iPhone SE 2 which may be Apple second budget phone may look more like the iPhone 8 rather than the earlier iPhone SE. Meaning, that the new iPhone SE 2 may have a 4.7-inch display and a home button. The feature that it will not have is Face ID. It may also have a single rear facing camera not the dual set up that iPhone 11 seems to have.

As for colors the phone may come in space grey, red or silver. None of any of this seems new, but this will help in keeping the price low. At present the cheapest iPhone is iPhone 8 coming in at $449a.

iPhone 6s Plus Service Program for No Power Issues

While Apple is busy with the new iPhone 11, it still keeps tabs on its older phones. If you happen to have brought an iPhone 6s or 6sPlus recently, you might just be able to get it repaired for free. The no power issue with the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus seems to affect iPhones manufactured between October 2018 to August 2019. These phones all have a similar serial number, which may have the problem. The problem is when the phone does not power on due to a component part that might fail. Apple has even provided a serial number check to see if you’re affected, and offer a free iPhone 6 Plus Service program.

The iPhone 6 Plus Service Program?

With iPhones 6s and 6s Plus not powering on due to a failure on behalf of a component part, Apple has now initiated the iPhone 6 Plus service program. Under this program, you can get your iPhone 6s repaired for free if any breakdown is caused by the said issue. If you already have paid to get your iPhone repaired, then Appel is willing to give you a refund.

Any prior issues will have to be repaired first, like a cracked screen, for example, before the issue can be resolved.

iPhone 6 Plus Service Program, not the only Program in Town?

This isn’t the first time iPhone 6 has come under the radar with its issues. In 2016, Apple started the iPhone 6s Program for Unexpected Shutdowns and a worldwide Battery Replacement program too. All these programs are geared towards the iPhone 6.

Under the iPhone 6s program for unexpected shutdowns, the iPhone 6s will be covered for a period of 2 years since its initial sale.

Is your iPhone 6s in Trouble?

Apple has said that the not – powering on issue affects only certain iPhone 6s’ and 6s’s plus. Only a certain series of these phones are affected. To know if your iPhone 6s is affected, you can always check with Apple’s Support page. In this support page, Apple has given users the ability to check if the user’s phones are eligible for the iPhone 6s Plus service program. All you have to do to check if your phone is eligible is to enter your iPhone serial number into the serial box.

Apple has also said that by providing the iPhone 6s Plus service program, does not mean that Apple is extending the standard warranty on all these phones. This program will supposedly cover the phone for only two years after your initial purchase.

The free repair will only be applicable in cases where the iPhone isn’t powering up due to the Component failure. Any other issue will have to be looked in to at the user's expense.

Where to get your Phone Looked into if you’re Eligible for the iPhone 6s Plus service program?

You can have your phone looked at in an Apple store or in an Apple-authorized service provider, or alternatively, you could get in touch with Apple Support online, if you happen to be affected by the issue.

Privacy Tools in iOS 13: Get the Most out of Apples new Privacy Tools

To avoid viruses, bugs and what have you, out there, the best and most effective way is to get the latest software update. You may have heard this more than once from family, friends, and your neighbor’s grandma, but do not underestimate the power of the latest software update. Especially if it’s an iOS 13 update. The latest version of OS for Apple iPhone users came somewhere last week. This week, iPad users too can get more security with the latest version of IPads being released. Apart from the many new features, the new OS brings, updates to privacy tools is one of the key highlights of the new iOS 13.

Some of the New privacy Tools in iOS 13:

There are many cool and necessary privacy tools in iOS 13, one of them being a shortcut to automatically creating burner email addresses when signing in to apps. There is also a feature that silences Robo callers, where was this before now? Besides all this, there are even fewer buttons which aid in minimizing sharing of location data with third parties.

A Word of Warning:

As with most updates, with getting the latest in OS features, there are also several bugs to contend with. This one too is no exception. A word of caution, you may want to wait for a few more weeks till all the glitches are sorted out before you go on and download the latest version of iOS.

Logging in to Apps with a Burner Address:

The most useful privacy tool in iOS 13 is the ability to sign in to third party apps with Apple’s ID. This is not new to the tech world, however. The same is seen in both Google and Facebook. But to lend a little twist to the feature, Apple has now added a burner email to the cocktail.

When you register for a new app, they invariably ask you for your email ID. This is the point where you have the option to log in using your Apple credentials. Once you do this, Apple will ask you if you’d like to hide your email ID. When you accept this option, Apple essentially creates a burner email ID for you.

No more Robo Callers with the New Privacy Tools in iOS 13:

Robo calls are the most annoying thing yet. They call you throughout the day, and you go and pick them up only to place your phone down a second later, talk about a waste of time.

But with Apple’s new Privacy tools in iOS 13, you’ll be able to end this menace once and for all. You can activate this feature by going into settings and selecting “silencing unknown callers” option. So any time you get a call from an unknown person, the phone won’t ring or vibrate but will just show the notification on the screen. The robocall is automatically forwarded to voicemail.

While this may be good at getting rid of robocalls, it at the same time gets rid of calls from relevant unknown persons too.

Apple Metal: The App Developer and Everything You Should Know About It

The Apple Metal is a low-level hardware-accelerated 3D graphic, and compute shader application programming interface. It provides direct access to the GPU (graphics processing units) that helps you to enable and maximize the graphics of the applications on your iOS, macOS and tvOS. Developed by Apple, Metal first came into existence on June 2014.

The app has developed on an easily approachable and low-overhead architecture that has the pre-compiled GPU shaders, multithreading support, finely grained resource control. Thus, the Apple Metal evolves in the support for different GPU driven command creation that simplifies the functioning with an array of this Metal-capable GPUs. It gives them access to the user to tap on the pro Power of Mac Pro and the Pro Display XDR.
What are the new features in Apple Metal?

• GPU-driven compute encoding:

  Apple Metal is moving beyond the rendering passes, Metal in iOS 13 and tvOS 13 empowers the GPU to such extent that it now can construct its commands. Plus, it also enables indirect compute encoding too. The complete scenes can be built using the advanced tessellation and culling processes, and techniques. This can also be scheduled with little or zero CPU interaction.

• Improved Acceleration of Raytracing:

  The Apple Metal performance Shaders or the MPS are capable of speed up the Raytracing operations more. Why? Well, MPS can move the bounded volume hierarchy construction to GPU. Metal Performance Shaders are also capable of providing new and optimized de-noising filters to an essential collection of those highly-optimized compute and graphics shaders. Thus, the MPS improved the acceleration of Raytracing.

• Metal for Pro Apps:

  With the macOS Catalina, the content-creation applications are now capable of taking the advantages of Apple Metal too. The peer groups of Metal have made it easy to share the data rapidly between several GPUs in Mac Pro. The best part of this feature is you don’t have to transfer these data to the main memory. In addition to that, the enhancement of CAMetalLayer helps users to get access to the High Dynamic Range of capabilities of the Pro Display XDR.

• Simpler GPU Families:

  Apple Metal has made developing an easy task to do. With simplified GPU families, it is even easier now. There are three well-considered groupings there that allow you to target the functionalities easily which are common in all of the Metal enabled GPUs. It has improved the harness support to the third party GPUs on your macOS.

• Apple Metal memory debugger:

  The Apple metal memory debugger will help the user to get an insight into how much memory is the Metal objects consuming at runtime. It suggests youimprovements on how the resources are configured. This way one can take the full advantage of Metal.

• Apple Metal-enabled iOS Simulator:

  The simulator helps to speed up the development of iOS applications using Metal. It either uses Metal directly or depends on the Metal-based system frameworks. It perfectly helps the transitioning from OpenGL ES to Metal to happen smoothly.

Metal is the best platform developed by Apple to help the developers. Try it now.

iPhone 11 Pro: All you Should Know About It

Tuesday was the day Apple released its newest addition iPhone 11 Pro to its iPhone range. While there was a lot of talk of the phones, the thing that really stood out with people was the stove like camera set up going on at the back of the phone. The camera has a mid night green color, if you’ve ever heard of such a thing, and is called “slowfie”. But besides this there were still some features that went unnoticed or they were just overshadowed by the weird looking camera.

Talk about Wi Fi 6 and that’s exactly what we’re going to do:

Lo and behold the new iPhone 11 Pro as well as its siblings come with Wi Fi 6, the latest and greatest in wireless networking. This is just like what Samsung did with its S10 phone too. So it’s no surprise too that the Cupertino based company did it too. By having Wi Fi 6 does not mean that the new iPhone 11 pro will not be compatible with earlier version of Wi Fi. It’s just that now with the new Wi Fi in town, communication is a lot faster and larger amounts of data can be transferred at a time than before. Not only that the new Wi Fi 6 allows devices to conserve battery by scheduling transmissions. Besides that you’ll still get better reception even in crowded places such as airports and stadiums. But getting back to iPhone 11 Pro, you won’t see any of Wi Fi 6 just yet, since the New mode of communication isn’t certified at present.

iPhone 11 Pro with ultra- Wideband Chip:

This was not given enough attention in Apple’s keynote but is still worthy enough for a mention in their official product site. This new chip dubbed “U1” increases the phone’s spatial awareness. This basically means that they are better placed now to find other iPhones that are in close proximity to it, say like in the same room. This chip will seemingly work better with AirDrop a feature that allows you to share files wirelessly with another iPhone. So just by pointing you’re device to the other iPhone in the room you’ll be able to send files to it.

iPhone 11 Pro with 18W Charger in the Box:

This is something that Samsung users have enjoyed for a little while now, I’m talking fast charging. Now Apple’s in on the game too with the new 18W USB C charger that it will ship with iPhone 11 Pro and its max counterpart. Seemingly you’ll be able to get 50% charge in just 30 minutes with this new charger in tow.

Gained a Little more weight this time around:

The iPhone 11 Pro and its max sibling weigh just a little bit more this year as compared to its last year’s counterpart. 18 grams more to be exact. But it may just fly under the radar since the weight increase isn’t that much.

iOS 13 Public Beta: How to Get Your Hands on the latest Public Beta?

September 10^th is the day when Apple plans on launching iPhone 11 and with that the final version of iOS 13. For iPhone users iOS 13 is the OS to wait for. iOS 13 promises to bring speed improvements, updates to many built in apps, a new dark mode, besides others. It’s no surprise then why many would like to get their hands on the newest beta already.  If you’re interested in learning how to install iOS 13 public beta then keep on reading… iOS 13 public beta was made available shortly after it was announced in early June.

By June 24^th many developers could take a look see at what the newest iOS has in store. The early 24^th June release was way before schedule. Apple besides other tech companies normally release the public beta version of an OS before its official release to solve any bug related problems the OS may bring. After the public beta release there are a number of updates till the official release to cure the iOS of any bug related malady.

 So coming back to iOS 13 pubic beta, the OS has had some seven updates till now with the seventh update just being rolled out. While developers get their hands on the 8^th version, the public is given to try out the older one. Long story short, the earlier version of iOS 13 public beta was way too unstable to install. Now since users can get their hands on the seventh version, it is presumably a little more safer to install, that is by not turning your iPhone into a brick.

At this stage you will have less bugs to contend with, there may still be some minor issues that may occasionally pop up. So there are two options on the table, either wait for the official bug free release in September or install iOS 13 in its public beta garb right now. If you just can’t seem to wait for the September release, then there is a way in which you can install the latest version of iOS 13 today.

But Should You Download iOS 13 Public beta?

There are two betas- the developer betas and public betas. The major difference lies in who you are. By that I mean if you’re a – non-developer - user then the Public Beta, is deemed fit enough to install by Apple.

That being said, you may not have the headache – phone – stopping – app – crashing – bugs – around but you may still run into the average bug. Yes, even in spite of the 7^th update. If you’re dependent on your phone for a lot of important stuff, who isn’t, then you might want to give iOS 13 public beta a skip.

Another option is that if you have a backup iOS device then you might want to try and install the beta version there first. No matter what you decide on doing, rule of thumb- always keeps a backup of your data in case things don’t go as planned. Now to, is your Device Compatible with iOS 13?

iPhone 6s users and above will be able to install the latest iOS. This includes iPhone SE as well. The newly released seventh generation iPod touch too can run the update. All iPhones released in 2015 won’t be able to see the light of a new software update.
