Apple sued by patent troll over Auto Unlock feature patent infringement

Apple smartwatches offer a unique functionality tied into the Apple ecosystem called Auto Unlock. Using this feature, Apple users can easily unlock their Macbooks and iPhones without the need for a password or Face ID. This feature was first announced in June 2016 by the company.

Now, according to a Patently Apple report, a company called SmartWatch MobileConcepts LLC is suing the Cupertino giant on grounds of patent infringement regarding the Auto Unlock feature. The patent the company SmartWatch MobileConcepts LLC is referring to is patent 10,362,480 titled “Systems, Methods, and Apparatuses for Enabling Wearable Device user Access to Secured Electronics Systems”. The patent was acquired by the firm from the members of the Ortiz family.

According to the report, this appears to be an instance of patent trolling to make the Cupertino giant cough up some cash via a settlement or a legal dispute. For those unaware, a patent troll is a derogatory term used to describe a business that utilizes patents and the court system to earn money.

However, things might not go as planned for SmartWatch MobileConcepts LLC as the above-mentioned patent was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on August 11, 2016, whereas, Apple announced this feature during WWDC 2016 which ran between June 13 to June 17, almost two months before the patent was filed. It remains to be seen how the court will decide upon this matter, so stay tuned for more updates.

Xiaomi Box 4S Max to remain China-exclusive for now: Official

Last week, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Box 4S Max in China. It arrives with a new chipset paired with more storage and RAM. Hence, it was speculated to release in international markets as it sounds like a good upgrade over the Mi Box S/Mi Box 4K sold outside the home country. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be the case.

In a statement to Android Authority, the global wing of Xiaomi has confirmed that it has currently no plans to introduce the Xiaomi Box 4S Max to international markets. Perhaps, the company may debut the product later as the Mi Box that’s available in global markets right now also took time to reach global markets.

Talking about the features, the latest Xiaomi Box 4S Max comes powered by an Amlogic S905X3 chipset. The new chip not only supports 4K payback but also 8K decoding.

The main highlight of the product is its memory configuration. It features 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, which is uncommon in the smart TV and streaming device category.

Connectivity options include WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2, HDMI 2.1, USB 2.0, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Finally, it boots MIUI for TV based on Android with support for XiaoAI virtual assistant and leading Chinese streaming apps.

Since the Xiaomi Box 4S Max runs software designed for China, it would be of little use if imported.

LG Display wants to supply microOLED panels for Apple’s MR/AR headset

Jun 14, 2022

Recently, we have heard a lot of rumors about Apple working on a mixed reality headset, which is expected to combine both AR and VR tech into a single device. While the details about it are still short, a new report is here to tell us which company could produce the displays for the rumored headsets.

The Elec, citing sources, has reported that LG Display is planning on developing and manufacturing a MicroOLED panel to supply to Apple for its mixed reality (MR) device. The Korean tech giant is expected to order deposition equipment to make MicroOLED from Sunic System.

Apple might use Sony‘s MicroOLED panel for the display of its first MR gadget, while LG Display will provide the outer screen, or an ‘indicator,’ which will be a normal OLED panel, as per the report. The new Apple MR headset is likely to be released in the first half of next year.

Apparently, LG Display is aiming to provide the MicroOLED panel for Apple’s next-generation MR headset. That’s quite optimistic, seeing that the first-gen MR headset is still just a rumor.

Apple is likely to switch to LG Display as the Japanese tech giant could be a rival in the MR space because it also sells PlayStation game consoles, which go hand-in-hand with virtual reality devices, states the report.

If you are unversed with the term MicroOLED, some explanation might be in order. MicroOLED is somewhat similar to typical OLED. However, the former mounts the OLED on a silicon substrate, whereas the latter mounts them on glasses.

This technology is also known as OLED on Silicon or OLEDoS and is projected to be used more frequently in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality products.

Other expected features include, 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50 megapixel primary camera on the back, and possibly Leica branded lens for the rear cameras. This device will likely launch in China soon and likely launch in the global markets soon after.

ASUS is all set to unveil the ROG Phone 6 series on July 5 in Taiwan, China, and the US. It will be one of the first smartphones to feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Ahead of the launch, two variants of the ROG Phone 6 have surfaced in the database of China’s 3C certification platform (via).

At the beginning of this year, tipster Paras Guglani had evidence of ASUS developing firmware for the ROG Phone 6 series. It was found that the Taiwanese brand is working on six models, such as the ASUS AI2201_A, AI2201_B, AI2201_C, AI2201_D, AI2201_E, and AI2201_F. The tipster mentioned that the AI2201_B and AI2201_D variants could be heading to India. The former could be called the ROG Phone 6 Pro, whereas the latter could be the ROG Phone 6 Ultimate.

Coming back to the 3C certification, the two variants of the ROG Phone 6 that have been approved include AI2201_A and AI2201_B. The 3C listing reveals that a 65W charger will accompany both devices.

To recall, the ROG Phone 5 series and the ROG Phone 5s lineup, which debuted in 2021, carry support for 65W fast charging. So, it looks like the ROG Phone 6 line may not be better at charging than its previous generation.

ASUS has already confirmed that the ROG Phone 6 series’ display will carry support for a 165Hz refresh rate. The Taiwanese manufacturer is yet to confirm the other details of the lineup. The alleged 2D renders of the ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro that appeared at the beginning of this year revealed that these may arrive with some design improvements. It appears that the A2201_A and A2201_B models will soon appear in TENAA’s database with images and specifications in the next few days.

Apple recently unveiled its new Apple Silicon M2 chipset that is powering the new Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops and now the company is gearing up to use the same chipset for the next-generation iPad Pro.

Sony might not be as big of a smartphone brand as it used to be years ago but the company is still making premium phones with some of the best camera features and now the Japanese company is hinting at further improvements.

A new report coming from Nikkei indicates that Sony believes its breakthrough technologies will see smartphones match and even overtake the capabilities of DSLR and mirrorless cameras in a couple of years.

Terushi Shimizu, President and CEO of Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) said during a recent briefing that “still images will exceed the image quality of single-lens reflex cameras within the next few years.” A presentation during the briefing points to 2024 as the timeline where Sony sees that smartphones could exceed ILC image quality.

It will be interesting to see how Sony manages to live up to this claim. The company has already launched Xperia Pro I with a 1-inch 20MP camera sensor but the premium smartphones from the brand typically use a 12MP sensor due to distance constraints between the lens and sensor.

But, even if the camera sensors for smartphones can’t become big to rival APS-C cameras, smaller sensors will be able to capture much more light in the near future. While it is not known when exactly will this happen for smartphones but the technology has already appeared in Sony’s flagship mirrorless cameras.

The company also talks about the growth in the AI processing capabilities that pushes the boundaries of multi-frame HDR, longer-range zoom, and higher-quality video recording.

There has not been a major development in terms of camera technology for the past few integrations of smartphone cameras, which is mostly because the companies have reached the saturation point. But it will be interesting to see how the camera technology for smartphones keeps pushing the boundaries.

Rumors have it that Vivo is working on a new X-series phone that has a model number of V2219A. The mysterious device has bagged TENAA and 3C certifications in China. As usual, these certifications have revealed the key details of the V2219A before its official announcement.

Vivo V2219A specifications

The TENAA listing of the Vivo V2219A smartphone reveals that it is equipped with a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen that produces an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It is yet to be confirmed whether it supports a high refresh rate. It’s not clear if the device has a fingerprint reader built into the screen or on the side.

The V2219A has an 8-megapixel camera on the front. The rear camera module houses two large-sized camera sensors. The TENAA listing confirms it has a 50-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens. Like the recently released Vivo phones in China, the V2219A device is likely to run on the Android 12 OS and OriginOS Ocean UI.

The V2219A has an unknown 2.2GHz octa-core processor with 5G support onboard. The device is likely to arrive in China in RAM options like 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB, and storage editions such as 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.

The mysterious Vivo X-series phone has a 2,190mAh dual-cell battery. It is known through the 3C certification of the device that it may support 80W rapid charging. The handset has dimensions of 164.17 x 75.8 x 8.59mm and weighs nearly 194 grams. The listing also states that the device will be available in black and white.

At present, there is no information on the marketing name of the Vivo V2219A smartphone. With TENAA and 3C certifications under its belt, it appears that it may debut later this month in China.
