For those interested in buying an electric car from Tesla Inc, you can now make the purchase with Bitcoins. The company’s Founder and CEO, Elon Musk, recently made the announcement, which marks a major step forward for the use of cryptocurrency in main stream market.

According to a Reuters report, the senior official tweeted out saying that “You can now buy a Tesla with bitcoin.” The executive further added that the company is looking to add the option outside of the US as well later this year. Back in February, the electric vehicle maker announced that it had bought around 1.5 billion US Dollars worth of Bitcoins and that it would soon accept the cryptocurrency as a form of payment for its cars. This is a notable step for Bitcoin, which recently reached a record high of 62,000 US Dollars.

After Elon Musk shared the post on Twitter, the value of digital currency rose by more than 4 percent and were last trading around 56,429 US Dollars. The CEO further added that the Bitcoin paid to the company would not just be converted into traditional currency. Although, he gave a few details on how the digital currency payments would be processed by using “internal & open source software.” At the moment, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are still used scarcely in major economies due to its volatility and costly and slow processing times.

Similar to Tesla, other companies have also taken the initiative to invest in the digital currency, including Mastercard Inc and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. As per market projections, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will soon become a regular part of investment portfolios. Notably, even Uber may potentially accept the cryptocurrency as payment as well.

Apple Glass may feature holograms to create 3D virtual objects

Mar 24, 2021

The long rumored Apple Glass might arrive with holograms to offer 3D objects in a virtual environment. This technology will be used to make the virtual objects seem more natural.

According an AppleInsider report, the Cupertino based giant has filed another new patent for its upcoming “Apple Glass.” In the patent, it is clear that the company is looking into 3D way of displaying information to the wearer along with realistic audio effects as well. While the brand has filed for various patents over the last couple of months, the latest one places an emphasis for improving the 3D experience offered by the device.

As per the patent, the company aims to make the user feel “as if they were physically in that environment,” through the use of “Scene camera,” by UK-based inventors Richard J. Topliss and Michael David Simmonds. The patent further states that the “virtual reality systems may display stereoscopic scenes to users in order to create an illusion of depth, and a computer may adjust the scene content in real-time to provide the illusion of the user moving within the scene.”

It further adds that “When the user views images through a virtual reality system, the user may thus feel as if they are moving within the scenes from a first-person point of view.” The glasses capture the real world as seen by the user and then presents information based on the scene being observed in the real world. So when the user moves, the scene camera also changes to better adapt its 3D environment. Furthermore, a large part of the patent is also based around solving potential issues caused by having projectors and other devices mounted at the side of the glasses.

Apple has just patented a new design for a future Apple Watch, which features a unique wrap around flexible display. This means that the wearable would also arrive with a digitally customizable band.

According to a MacRumors report, the Cupertino based giant filed a new patent titled “Display Module and System Applications,” which was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In this document, the company outlines the design for a unique flexible display that would span the entire length of the band of its smartwatch. This display would have to be flexible enough to contour to the shape of the users’ arm to fit like a regular watch’s band.

The iPhone maker also explained the design, which would include a display with a “plurality of interconnects” that extends “through the display substrate from the front surface to the back surface, and an array of LEDs are in the display area and electrically connected with the plurality of interconnects.” Furthermore, the wearable’s battery, processor, ambient light sensor, and other crucial components can be fixed with an enclosure on the rear of the large display panel.

The patent also points out that the OLED display might be sensitive to air and moisture degradation without a protective glass cover along with other “problematic” issues due to the use of “interconnects.” On the other hand, the design would enable the company to offer “minimized” bezels around the display for a more appealing design, or even possibly “eliminate” the bezel entirely. Unfortunately, it is unknown if the company is actually working on such a product or covering all bases.

This new operating system update will be available for the users of the Meizu 17 series smartphones in the month of May. The company has also said that all the new devices from Meizu will now come with a similar user experience. It started to do the same with the newly launched Meizu 18 series.

Intel seeks to make ARM processors and 5G chips for Apple

Mar 24, 2021

Apple had made a major shift away from Intel and its processors for its Mac series of computers, in favor of its self designed ARM based chips. But despite losing Apple as a major customer, the chip maker is apparently planning on reentering the iPhone makers supply chain.

Rather than simply supply its Intel Core processors again, the company aims on getting Apple back through its new foundry business that is called Intel Foundry Services or IFS, as per a PhoneArena report. The IFS will be run by the company’s Senior Vice President Randhir Thakur and will compete with other tech giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and even Qualcomm. These four brands design their own chips but do not produce them and contract other firms like TSMC and Samsung.

Team Blue will be spending about 20 billion US Dollars to open two new fabs in Chandler, Arizona. Notably, the move from the company also arrives as the world suffers a major shortage of semiconductors, which has affected various companies and industries across the globe. The company’s CEO Pat Gelsinger stated that the foundry business will be a part of a market that is estimated to reach a 100 billion US Dollars in value by 2025.

Apple has relied on TSMC, the world’s largest contract chip maker, for its chips, so it will be difficult for Intel and the IFS to get some orders from the smartphone maker. At the moment, Intel uses a 10nm and 14nm process nodes for the chips it designs and manufactures. The company is also on track for 7nm chips during the second quarter of this year. While it already makes its own chips, the company also plans on increasing the use of third party chip makers like TSMC, Samsung and others.

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 9 series in China today. Unlike the global variants, the models sold in the home market run ColorOS 11 as confirmed by the company ahead of the official announcement. But they come with one exception that is not applicable to OPPO smartphones running the same software.

The OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro for China ship with ColorOS 11.2 based on Android 11. The brand calls it ColorOS for OnePlus, just like MIUI for POCO. This version of ColorOS comes with some tweaks like realme UI.

It is a known fact that OnePlus started its journey as an enthusiast brand. The company is known for its community. All of its products are popular in the custom ROM community, thanks to the firm’s commitment towards releasing proper kernel source code on time.

In fact, OnePlus even sends out its devices to potential developers for third-party software development. Similar to Xiaomi, the warranty of the company’s phones do not void on rooting.

Continuing its legacy, at the OnePlus 9 series China launch conference, the brand confirmed that users need not worry about their smartphone’s warranty on rooting though they now run ColorOS. OnePlus had to specifically clarify it since OPPO and realme (realme UI) handsets running the same OS do not have this exception.

Also, it is worth noting that the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro are not only cheaper in China but also come with a 2-year warranty. That said, do you think OnePlus should use ColorOS globally? Do let us know in the comment section below.

OnePlus 9 Pro flagship smartphone passes JerryRigEverything’s durability test

Mar 24, 2021

OnePlus recently launched its next-generation flagship lineup, the OnePlus 9 series and the top-end device in the series is the OnePlus 9 Pro. Soon after the announcement, JerryRigEverything shared a video showcasing the phone’s durability test.

To protect it from scratches, the phone comes with a screen protector pre-installed. After removing the film from the top, it started scratching from level 6 while deeper grooves started forming at level 7, which is pretty standard.

The device also comes with an optical in-display fingerprint sensor and even after scratching the screen at level 7, the sensor works fine without any issues, which is impressive but not surprising for a flagship device.

The OnePlus 9 Pro has a metal build and the buttons on the phone are also made up of metal, making the device more durable than the plastic body. Further, the phone is rated IP68, making it water and dust-resistant.

The highlight of the device is the camera module for which the company has partnered with Hasselblad this time. There are four sensors on the back, along with an LED flash, and it’s good to see that scratching the camera module doesn’t affect the phone.

The final test performed on the device was the bend test to check the phone’s durability. It was tested by trying to bend the smartphone both inwards and outways. The device survived both tests without any issues, not even a crack.

Apple to compensate Samsung Display over order shortfalls: Report

By

Mar 24, 2021

Apple is expected to offer compensation to Samsung Display, the former’s supplier of OLED panels, over a shortfall in orders for displays, as per industry sources close to the matter.

Previously, we had reported on Samsung Display’s shipments for the month of January 2021, which fell by 9 percent month on month to 45 million units. One of the primary reasons for this decline was the lackluster sales of the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone 12 mini. Due to this, Apple had adjusted its production of its iPhone 12 series, with overall production falling by about 20 percent in the first half of this year as iPhone 12 mini units being responsible for the majority of these cuts.

At the moment, the South Korean display maker is the company’s sole supplier of 5.4 inch OLED panels for the iPhone 12 minis, which is the smallest variant of the latest lineup. Now, sources from within the industry believe that Apple will may have to pay a penalty of sorts to Samsung once again, as orders did not meet the minimum required quantity.

As per previous reports, the iPhone maker apparently paid the South Korean tech giant an estimated 648 million US Dollars back in 2019 and about 1 billion US Dollars in 2020 over subpar orders of Samsung Display’s OLED panels. One source stated that “It is uncertain whether Apple would pay a penalty to Samsung Display, but considering its contract history and sluggish sales of the iPhone 12 mini, it is likely that Apple will compensate Samsung Display.”

Huawei has not been as vibrant as it used to in terms of product releases, no thanks to sanctions by the Trump’s U.S administration that cut off the company from access to chip for its smartphones. Huawei was able to launch the Mate X2 foldable phone with a Kirin 9000 chip as a result of inventories it stockpiled before the ban went into effect. In the same manner, the company is also expected to announce the Huawei P50 around April this year.

The renders of the P50 series consisting of the P50 and P50 Pro were shared by noted tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@Onleaks) on Voice recently. The renders not only gave us a glimpse of the front aspect of the models but also the rear designs. Yet again, the P50’s rear protective case has appeared online to lend some credence to the rendered design. The protective case contains two large cut-outs at the rear for the camera modules.

The Huawei P50 series is expected to arrive with a dual-camera setup with the two camera sensors having an extraordinarily large round aperture each of equal sizes. However, the configuration of the camera setup is yet to be revealed. There are speculations, though, that the P50’s camera setup will include an industry-first 1-inch Sony IMX800 sensor.

This leaked protective case is a third-party accessory but it goes to confirm that the device will likely arrive with the unique design that was leaked by Onleaks. We expect more details of the P50 series to emerge as the expected launch date draws closer.
