Sep 8, 2022

At last night’s ‘Far Out’ event, Apple unveiled its much anticipated flagship iPhone 14 lineup. The Cupertino-based brand also launched the Watch Series 8. Additionally, the company also introduced a new feature called Crash Detection for the newly announced devices. Apple says that it hopes that users will not need the feature but it should make them feel a little safer when they are travelling by car. Notably, Google has been offering car crash detection for some time on its Pixel smartphones.

The Crash Detection feature is a new Emergency function that can save the users lives in case of a car crash. Driving on the road is unpredictable and dangerous at times. Apple’s latest Watch Series 8 and the iPhone 14 lineup are capable of detecting the impact of a car crash and after 10 seconds, the feature will automatically notify the user’s emergency contact and provide them with the current location. It’s worth noting that the function only works when the user is driving.

For those wondering how the Crash Detection feature works, both the Watch Series 8 and the iPhone 14 lineup come equipped with two new motion sensors – an improved 3-axis gyroscope and a high-G-force accelerometer. The latter can measure up to 256 G’s and it has four times faster sampling rate of over 3,000 times a second. Apple has also built an advanced sensor algorithm to accurately enable the feature. In addition to the motion sensor, the Crash Detection also barometer, GPS, and microphone on a paired iPhone to detect whether a severe crash has taken place. All this enables to detect the precise moment of impact.

When a severe crash has taken place, the emergency services interface will appear on the Apple Watch Series 8 as well as the iPhone 14 series. Apple says that the emergency function can detect crashes in cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. It also focuses on four types of crashes including front impact, side impact, rear-ends collision, and rollovers. The feature runs and processes data only while driving and around the time of a possible accident. Additionally, Apple does not collect the data and it stays on the device.

In the announcement, Apple said that it has studied vehicle impacts at state-of-the-art crash test labs for years and that its algorithm has been trained on over 1 million hours of real-world driving and crash data.

LeTV made a comeback in China last year. Since then, the company has announced multiple products spread across different categories like smart TV, smartphone, wearable, accessory, and more.

According to ITHome, LeTV recently held a media conference. At the event, the company announced certain future plans. One of them involves a phone.

The firm revealed that it is working on a new smartphone. This handset will be powered by a mid to high-end MediaTek chipset. It will flaunt a 2K curved display. Hence, it could be a premium device.

Apart from the chip and display details, the company also disclosed that the phone will sport a 64MP main camera and leather back finish. Last but not least, it will house a 5,000mAh battery.

These specs sound way better than what LeTV offers on its current handsets. For the unaware, the company currently sells three smartphones in its home country, namely LeTV S1, LeTV Y1 Pro, and LeTV Y2 Pro.

Apple has just been hit with another sizeable fine. The company has been facing friction in the Brazilian market for a while, and now, it faces a 2 million US Dollar fine as well as a possible ban on some of its iPhone models.

The Ministry of Justice in Brazil has imposed a a fine of 12.275 million Brazilian Real, which is around 2.34 million US Dollars. For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant has been facing issues in the region ever since it decided to stop shipping its iPhones with a charger included in the box. So now, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice has imposed a ban to stop the sales of all iPhone models that don’t ship with an included power adapter.

Following this ruling, Apple has issues a statement in response to the fine and the ban. As per this statement, the company said that it would work to resolve any concerns of the National Consumer Secretary (SENACON), which is a department under the Ministry of Justice that decided on the fine. Apple’s Brazil unit said that “We have already won several court rulings in Brazil on this matter and we are confident that our customers are aware of the various options for charging and connecting their devices.”

The fine isn’t going to be immediately imposed, although, it will go into effect once the Ministry verifies that Apple has circumvented the sales ban that it plans on enforcing. At the moment, the Ministry argues that the fine and ban on the iPhone maker is being imposed due to the brand selling an incomplete product since it did not include the power adapter.

The new leak claims that the OnePlus 11 Pro will have some features that will be unavailable on the Find X6 Pro. It seems that the tipster is saying that the OnePlus 11 Pro may outperform the Find X6 Pro in departments like performance, charging, and internal cooling.

The OnePlus 11 Pro and Find X6 Pro are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Since OnePlus is already offering 16 GB of RAM on the OnePlus 10T (known as the OnePlus Ace Pro in China), it is likely that the 11 Pro may also come in a 16 GB RAM variant.

The 11 Pro is also likely to come equipped with 150W SuperVOOC charging, which was made available on the 10T. On the other hand, the Find X6 Pro may continue to feature 12 GB of RAM and 80W charging like its predecessor.

There’s a new feature called Personalized Spatial Audio which works in conjunction with the iPhone and iOS 16 by using the front-facing True Depth cameras to look at the user’s ear and adjust things accordingly.

Apple says that the active noise cancellation and the transparency mode are getting an upgrade. There’s an adaptive transparency mode that can adjust the transparency depending on what is going around the user. As for noise cancellation, the company promises twice the performance compared to the first generation device.

The carry case for the AirPods Pro 2 also comes with support for Apple’s Find My feature, which can help in locating when misplaced. There’s also a built-in speaker, which makes it easier to find the device when the user is looking for it.

Apple is promising up to six hours of usage on a single charge, and the charging case offers up to 30 hours of usage. It supports wireless charging and can also work with the Apple Watch charger or other MagSafe chargers along with the Qi charger.
