Apple iPhone 14 Pro series may feature slightly larger display sizes: Report

By
Sean
-

While the Apple iPhone 14 series is still months away from launch, there have already been various rumors and reports regarding the new devices surfacing recently. Now, the latest report has revealed more information regarding the iPhone 14 Pro series.

Apple

The latest news arrives from DSCC’s Ross Young who shared the details on Twitter. Looking at his tweet, the iPhone 14 Pro will apparently sport a 6.12 inch display, which is a bit larger than the 6.06 inch screen on the last gen iPhone 13 Pro. Similarly, the top end iPhone 14 Pro Max may feature a 6.69 inch panel, which is also ever so slightly larger than the 6.68 inch screen of the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

According to Ross Young, the reason for the display sizes becoming slightly bigger is due to the change in the notch design on the front. For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant is expected to finally get rid of the large notch on the front with a pill shaped cutout for the camera and Face ID sensors. So, the modest bump in screen size is likely due to the narrower bezels and the new punch hole design.

Apple

As of right now, we have no way of confirming this information. However, Young has been known as a reliable source, and the information is in line with our previous reports. But keep in mind that this is still unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.

Netflix, one of the leading media streaming platforms globally, had long said that its service would not include advertisements, but that is about to change as the company recently said that it will roll out a cheaper ad-supported plan.

While the new plan was said to be rolled out over the next year or two, it appears that the company is planning to offer it sooner. In an internal memo, it is said that the ad-supported plan will be released later this year.

Netflix Logo

As per the report in The New York Times, the company’s executives have told in an internal note that the cheaper ad-supported plan will be rolled out in the last quarter of this year.

During the same timeframe, the company could also introduce extra fees for the subscribers who are sharing a password to their Netflix account with other people who do not reside at the same address.

It was noted in the memo that every major streaming platform apart from Apple TV+ offers a low-cost plan with advertisements, including Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, and others.

The company recently revealed that there are more than 222 million households who are paid subscribers of Netflix but it also claimed that about 100 million households are using the service with someone else’s account.

Greg Peters, CFO of Netflix, said that the company isn’t trying to shut down password sharing but it is going to ask users to pay a bit more to share accounts. It’s noteworthy that the company is testing extra fees for account sharing in Peru, Chile, and Costa Rica.

These new developments for the streaming giant come after its subscriber numbers fell for the first time. The company reported that last quarter, it lost 200,000 members, mainly due to the shutdown of its business in Russia. It is also expecting to lose another two million users this quarter.

Duoyin, also known as ByteDance, the company that owns Tiktok is perhaps trying to milk the popularity of the video-sharing platform both in China and overseas, going by its upcoming product. The company is said to have got a live-streaming gadget equipped with a flippable camera in the works and a render of the gadget has appeared online.ByteDance Livestreaming device

The product is known as Lingjing Live Streaming All-in-One Machine and has a more professional outlook than a mobile phone. It is foreseeable that TikTok creators will adopt this device for creating professional-looking content, but it is not very affordable. The gadget is said to carry a steep 15,800 yuan (~$2346) price tag.

The render of the product spotted on MyDrivers shows it adopts a vertical screen design similar to a mobile phone, which matches the Douyin live broadcast interface. It has a flippable camera on top similar to the camera design of the iconic OPPO Find N series. The camera design allows for adjustment within a 180-degree axis as desired.

The device packs a large display screen but the size is not known at this time. There are three control knobs right under the screen. The knobs are for the microphone, background sound, and volume controls. There is also a base on the back of the screen, which also functions as a speaker. It is unclear whether there is a built-in battery.

We hope to get more details about the ByteDance Live-streaming device in the coming days.
