Brazil seizes iPhones from retail stores as Apple fails to comply with charger requirement

A couple of months ago, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice ordered the suspension of iPhone sales in the country after it concluded that Apple harms consumers by not offering the power adapter when they purchase the device. Even after the company was slapped with a million-dollar fine, it is still not complying with the order.

Now, the regulator for Federal District-based consumer protection has seized Apple iPhones from retailers or retail stores as the technology giant failed to comply with the requirements.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro

A report by Technoblog reveals that Procon-DF has seized hundreds of Apple iPhones from different retail stores in Brasilia, Brazil. It added that as a part of “Operation Discharge,” the regulator plans to force Apple to comply with the local law that requires smartphones to be shipped with a charger in the box.

It further adds that the regulator is seizing devices from the carrier stores and authorized Apple retailers. It is only seizing the devices that come without a charger in the box, followed by a decision from the Ministry of Justice to block Apple from selling iPhones in Brazil without chargers included.

For those who are unaware, Apple stopped including a charger in the box with the iPhone 12 series, but the company also updated iPhone 11 series retail box to come without a charger.

After the devices were seized, Apple Brazil requested the government to allow sales of smartphones in the country until the final decision is pending as the company has filed an appeal. Although the company says it is confident of winning the legal battle, its action suggests otherwise. The newly launched Apple TV 4K comes with a USB-C charger in the box, but the company doesn’t reveal a reason behind this.

Amazfit Falcon vs Amazfit T-Rex 2: Specs Comparison

Design and build

The design and the build quality of the Amazfit Falcon are way better than the Amazfit T-Rex 2. The smartwatch is made of titanium and it is definitely one of the sturdiest and most beautiful rugged watches ever. It is waterproof up to 20 ATM and it is even more compact than its internal rival. Unfortunately, the Amazfit T-Rex 2 is made of polymer alloy, but it still offers a huge resistance to drops and scratches, so you should not underestimate it. It is another waterproof watch, but it stops to a maximum of 10 ATM in terms of water resistance.

Display

Even though it is a more affordable smartwatch, the Amazfit T-Rex 2 has a better display than the Amazfit Falcon. It is an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 1.39 inches, a HD resolution of 454 x 454 pixels, a 329 ppi pixel density and a max brightness of 1,000 nits. It also supports the Always On Display mode. The Amazfit Falcon has an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 1.28 inches, a resolution of 416 x 416 pixels, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. The Falcon has a smaller display and a lower resolution, but it still supports the Always On mode.

Specs & Software

The Amazfit Falcon and the Amazfit T-Rex 2 have the same operating system: Zepp OS. But the Falcon has a few more professional features, such as an AI-based training coach. It is able to monitor up to 150 sports and workouts, it supports route import and real time navigation. It even comes with 4 GB of internal storage able to store music, and it has a broadcast sports mode to receive data. It is compatible with apps like Adidas Running, Apple Health, and Strava. The T-Rex 2 is able to track 150 activities as well, but it has no AI traning coach and no internal storage to store music and files.

Sensors and connectivity

The sensors and the connectivity of these two smartwatches are not so different. They come with a classic heart rate sensor, an SpO2 sensor to monitor the blood oxygen level, and an amazing GPS module with dual-band and 5 satellite positioning systems for precise navigation support.

Battery

The Amazfit Falcon and the Amazfit T-Rex 2 have exactly the same battery capacity, but they have different battery life. The former is able to last up to 14 days on a single charger, while the latter is able to reach 24 days.

Price

The Amazfit Falcon is available in the global market with a listing price tag of $500 or €500, while you need roughly $200 or €200 in order to purchase the T-Rex 2. So, if you do not mind having a better build quality and those additional features for professional users, you can get all you want with the T-Rex 2 and save a lot of money at the same time. Which one would you pick?

Samsung Could Team Up With Iridium To Bring Satellite Connectivity to the Galaxy S23 Series: Report

Following Apple and Huawei’s lead, Samsung is also reportedly planning to add a satellite communication feature to the upcoming Galaxy S23 series. The Korean firm is said to be partnering with Iridium, a global satellite communications company, to transmit data such as text messages and low-capacity images via satellite.

South Korean publication Etnews claims Samsung is preparing to introduce satellite communication feature to upcoming Galaxy S23 smartphones with an aim to transmit data such as text messages and low-capacity images at hundreds of kbps.

The publication says, “Over the past two years, Samsung has worked hard to overcome satellite communication’s technological challenges.” It will reportedly be teaming up with Iridium, which is a well-established satellite communications company based in the US. Iridium provides voice and data communication services in outer space using 66 low-Earth orbit communication satellites.

Samsung-Galaxy-S23-Ultra-leaked

To enable voice and high-speed data communication via satellite, a large antenna (RF) is required, but it is probably the last thing anyone would want to see in a modern-day smartphone. So, the biggest challenge involved with Sat-com is to make an antenna that doesn’t strike out. Etnews says Samsung is done with this part.

In addition, the technology to integrate mobile and satellite communication modems to process digital data is also reported to be largely completed. Samsung is yet to confirm any details about this new feature.

As mentioned, Huawei and Apple have already introduced the satellite communication feature with their latest flagships. iPhone 14 users in the US and Canada can use this new feature to communicate with emergency services when cellular reception is not available. The Cupertino company says in ideal conditions with a direct view of the sky and the horizon, a message sent via Sat-com might take 15 seconds to send, and over a minute to send under trees with light or medium foliage.

Foxconn Offers Money to Rebelling Workers to Leave iPhone Factory

The effects of the tension in the Foxconn factory still continue. A riot broke out yesterday at the company’s factory in China. Over 100 Foxconn workers were seen pushing past outnumbered guards. Several videos were posted on social media, with one showing workers pushing past barricades as witnesses chanted “fight, fight” in the background. Several workers were injured at the plant responsible for producing 50% of iPhones sold worldwide. Lastly, Foxconn offers workers $1,400 to stop protesting and leave the factory.

Foxconn offers workers $1,400 to stop protesting and leave iPhone factory

After the events escalated, Foxconn took action to end the protests. The company has offered workers a $1,400 (10,000 yuan) settlement in an attempt to end protests at the facility. According to the information received, this is a money equivalent to approximately two months’ salary of these workers.

Factory riot in iPhone factory (Foxconn)

Foxconn offered 8,000 yuan ($1,120) to workers who agreed to quit their positions at the factory, and another 2,000 yuan (around $280) after they boarded buses to depart the facility. The offer was made by the human resources department of the company by sending a text message. However, the problem that caused the workers’ revolt in the first place was the already delayed bonus payments. So, it is unknown whether the employees accepted the offer or not. Still, the Apple supplier has apologized, claiming that the miscommunication on share was the result of a ‘technical error’.

Foxconn factory was forced to lock down in October following a covid outbreak because of China’s strict “zero-covid” policy. Since than the company prevented assembly line workers from leaving the factory surroundings and forced workers to consume their meals inside dorm rooms instead of eating in the dining room. In fact, some employees, tired of the restrictions, secretly escaped from the factory and resigned.

Two New Vivo Smartphones Get 3C Certified With 80W Fast Charging

Vivo recently launched the flagship X90 series, which comprises the top-of-the-line Vivo X90 Pro+, X90 Pro, and the standard X90. The X90 Pro+ is the star of the show, as it debuted as the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-equipped handset and features some serious camera tech. Now, it seems the company has two new smartphones, likely mid-rangers, in the works. The mysterious handsets have bagged 3C certification, hinting they might debut soon. Here are the details.

Two unknown Vivo smartphones with model numbers V2245A and V2244A have bagged China’s compulsory 3C certification (via ITHome). Both of these handsets are listed to support 80W fast charging.

Vivo smartphones 3C

The official names of these handsets are not known yet. However, we can expect them to debut as mid-range handsets. More details about these unknown Vivo devices should emerge soon. We’ll keep you posted.

As mentioned earlier, Vivo recently launched its flagship X90 series. The most premium device in the series— Vivo X90 Pro+ — comes with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and promises an impressive performance.

The highlight of the phone is its camera setup. It features a 1-inch Sony IMX989 50MP primary sensor with an f/1.75 aperture. There’s also a 48MP Sony IMX598 ultra-wide lens, a 50MP Sony IMX758 portrait unit with OIS support, and a 64MP periscope zoom lens with a 90mm focal length and 10x optical zoom.

It packs a 4,700mAh battery with 80W and 50W wired and wireless charging respectively, which is strange because the Pro model supports 120W wired charging. The X90 Pro+ comes with a starting price of 6,999 yuan (~$980).
