iPhone 16 Could Potentially See the Use of OLED Panels with Micro Lens Arrays

Team My Mobile

September 2, 2023

Highlights

Micro Lens Arrays (MLAs) proposed by Samsung and LG could revolutionize iPhone 16’s display.
MLA technology offers a trade-off between improved brightness and extended battery life.
The focused light path of MLAs limits the device’s effective viewing angle.
Apple is weighing the technology’s merits and drawbacks before making a final decision.

Apple’s next big innovation for its iPhone lineup could be in the form of Micro Lens Arrays (MLAs) in its displays.

According to a report, Apple’s major display suppliers, Samsung and LG, are proposing this technology for the upcoming iPhone 16. The technology offers significant benefits but comes with a downside: a limited effective viewing angle.

What Are Micro Lens Arrays?

MLAs are a layer of microscopically small lenses placed atop an OLED screen, designed to focus emitted light. This technology is not entirely new; it is already used in televisions, monitors, and even the Galaxy S22 Ultra by Samsung. But what does it mean for iPhone users?

The Bright Side: Improved Brightness or Battery Life

One of the most intriguing benefits of MLAs is the potential impact on screen brightness and battery life.

With this technology, the iPhone 16 could either maintain its current maximum brightness while consuming less power or increase the screen brightness without consuming additional power. The impact? Improved visibility in bright conditions and potentially extended battery life.

Reduced Viewing Angle: The Trade-Off

While the prospect of increased brightness or better battery life sounds great, MLAs come with a compromise.

The more focused light path narrows down the acceptable viewing angles of the display. Although this might not be a significant issue for single users, it could pose challenges in scenarios where multiple viewers are involved.

A Matter of Standards: Apple’s Dilemma

The ball is now in Apple’s court. Both Samsung and LG have reportedly pitched the use of MLAs for the iPhone 16. However, Apple is waiting to evaluate if these proposals meet their stringent display standards, considering both the pros and cons of this technology.

The future?

Micro Lens Arrays promise a potential revolution in smartphone display technology. For the iPhone 16, the adoption of MLAs could bring notable advancements in brightness and battery life, making it an intriguing possibility for consumers.

However, the technology is not without its downsides, as it could limit the viewing angles for the device.

FAQs

What are Micro Lens Arrays (MLAs)?

MLAs are microscopic lenses placed on top of an OLED screen to focus emitted light, which can either improve screen brightness or extend battery life.

What benefits could MLAs bring to iPhone 16?

The use of MLAs could allow the iPhone 16 to achieve higher brightness levels without consuming extra power, or maintain current brightness levels while extending battery life.

What is the downside of using MLAs in displays?

The technology narrows down the effective viewing angles of the display, which may not be ideal for shared viewing experiences but is less of an issue for individual users.

Has Apple confirmed the use of MLAs in the iPhone 16?

As of now, Apple has not confirmed the use of MLAs. It’s reported that the company is evaluating whether the technology meets its stringent display standards.

Get a guide on how to log in to WhatsApp Web without a QR Code.

WhatsApp Web, an extension of the WhatsApp mobile app, allows users to access their conversations and media from their computers.

However, the conventional method of logging in via QR code scan might not always be convenient, especially if you’re dealing with privacy concerns, limited access to your mobile device, or technical glitches.

Fortunately, there are alternative methods that can enable you to log into WhatsApp Web without using a QR code.
Before we delve into the alternatives to how you can log in to WhatsApp Web without an OR code, let’s understand the role of QR codes in WhatsApp Web’s authentication process.

What is WhatsApp Web QR Codes?

When you open WhatsApp Web on your computer, it presents a QR code that you need to scan using your WhatsApp mobile app. This establishes a secure connection between the browser and your phone, allowing you to mirror your conversations on the computer.

How to Login to WhatsApp web without a QR Code?

To avoid using WhatsApp Web by scanning the QR code, the most convenient way would be to use Bluestacks App Player.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can use the Bluestacks App Player to use WhatsApp without scanning any QR code –

Go to download BlueStacks on the Web and install BlueStacks on your PC.
After installing, open the Bluestacks app store and search WhatsApp on the search menu.

Once WhatsApp is found, click on “Install in the App Player.”

Now you will be asked to fill in your phone number which you want to use for verification.

Enter the phone number you want to use on your PC and enter the verification code once received.
Once your number is verified, WhatsApp will successfully be installed in Bluestacks without scanning the QR code.

Remember, you cannot use the same number on your phone as well as the Bluestacks app. The same phone number can be used only in one system.

Why Alternatives to WhatsApp Web QR Codes are Needed?

Scenarios where using a WhatsApp QR code might not be the best option:

Privacy – Scanning a QR code to log in might expose your conversations to prying eyes, especially if you’re using a shared computer or in a public space.
Limited Phone Access – If your phone is unavailable or has a damaged camera, logging in through the QR code scan becomes impossible.
Technical Glitches – Occasionally, technical glitches on either the mobile app or the computer’s browser might hinder the QR code scanning process.

While alternative methods available for those who don’t want to scan QR codes, we recommend you always opt for official methods unless it is an absolute necessity. Official methods ensure a secure and seamless experience when using WhatsApp Web.

Discover tips to effectively free up storage on your smartphone.
Understand the importance of maintaining a clutter-free device and how it can enhance your smartphone experience.
Learn about the benefits of utilizing cloud storage services to store files and media.

Our smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. From capturing cherished memories to managing work tasks, smartphones seamlessly blend communication, entertainment, and productivity into one device.

However, as our digital footprint grows, one common issue that plagues smartphone users is the dreaded “storage full” notification. Running out of phone storage can be frustrating, but the good news is that there are several effective ways to create more space on your device.

In this blog, we will explore some practical tips to help you free up space on your phone and keep it running smoothly.

Delete Unnecessary Apps

The first step towards reclaiming storage space is to go through your phone and identify apps you no longer use. Many apps we usually have on our phones that go unused for months.

Here’s how you can do that quickly find unused apps –

Android

Open Play Store.

Tap on your personal icon in the upper right corner and select “Manage apps & device.”
Go to the Manage tab. On the line below that, the Installed button should be highlighted; if it isn’t, tap on it.

To the right of the Apps heading, you’ll see the sorting icon. Tap on that and select “Least used.” This will instantly bring the apps that have seen only sporadic use or none at all to the top.
Delete those apps that have outlived their purpose.

iPhones

Open Settings app under General > iPhone Storage.

Next screen shows the apps take up the most space. You will also see the Last Used date or Never Used tags where applicable with the app name.

Tap on the app you want to remove from your iPhone and select Delete.

Clear Your Gallery

Sift through your photo gallery, videos, and downloads folders, removing duplicates and unwanted files. This initial decluttering can significantly free up storage space.

Utilize Cloud Storage

Cloud storage services like Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive offer a convenient solution for storing your files, photos, and videos online.

By uploading your data to the cloud, you can access them anytime, anywhere, while also creating more space on your device. Just ensure that you have a secure internet connection when accessing your cloud-stored files.

Clear Cache and Temporary Files

Apps on your phone often generate temporary files and cache data to enhance their performance. However, over time, these files can accumulate and take up substantial storage space.

Go to your device’s settings and find the option to clear cache and temporary files for individual apps. This can not only free up space but also improve your device’s overall speed.

Manage Offline Music and Downloads

If you’re an avid music or video consumer, chances are you’ve downloaded a lot of content for offline use. While this can be convenient, it can also consume a significant portion of your phone’s storage.

Regularly go through your offline content and delete the ones you no longer need.

Running out of phone storage is a common issue, but it doesn’t have to be a perpetual problem. Regularly decluttering your phone, utilizing cloud storage, managing offline content, and staying mindful of the apps you keep can go a long way.

FAQs

Q1. How do I make more space on my phone without deleting anything?

Answer. It is practically not possible to create more space in 1 storage device without deleting or transferring anything. Since most Android phones support microSD cards, you can transfer to an SD Card as an alternative.

Q2. How to delete backed-up photos to make space on mobile?

Answer. Google Photos has a handy feature for deleting everything from your phone that has been backed up. Follow the below steps to quickly delete backed-up photos –

Open Google Photos.
Tap your Profile picture in the upper-right corner of your screen.
Tap Free up space from the drop-down menu and all backed data will be deleted.

Highlights

Learn several tips about how to save yourself against delivery fraud.
Get pointers on everything you should keep in mind while online shopping.
Understand the OTP scam and get tips on how to stay vigilant against it.

Online shopping has revolutionized the way we shop, making our desired products just a few clicks away. Yet, with the convenience of doorstep deliveries comes the lurking risk of delivery fraud.

This rapidly evolving form of cybercrime targets unsuspecting consumers, resulting in financial loss and emotional distress.

To help you shop online with confidence, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide on how to save yourself from delivery fraud.

From recognizing red flags to adopting preventative measures, let’s delve into the strategies that will protect your wallet.

Shop from Reputable Sources

The first step in preventing delivery fraud is to shop only from reputable and well-established online retailers.
Here are some pointers to keep in mind while shopping online –

Stick to websites with a proven track record of customer satisfaction and security.
If you come across a new or unfamiliar online store, do some research before making a purchase.
Look for customer reviews, ratings, and mentions on trusted forums to gauge the legitimacy of the website.

Beware of Fake OTP Delivery Scam

Scammers often target frequent online shoppers by posing as delivery agents for major e-commerce sites. They request payment for a supposed delivery, obtaining OTPs from victims to access bank details.

Stay vigilant, verify the authenticity of agents, and refrain from sharing sensitive information are some of the vital steps you can take to prevent falling victim to this manipulation. Take care of the following things –

NEVER share OTP with anyone.
Do not accept suspicious delivery.
Never click on untrusted links.
Don’t share your personal information with delivery agents.
Always verify delivery agents’ identity for COD orders.

Verify the Seller

If you’re buying from an online marketplace that allows individual sellers, take the time to verify their credibility.
Check their ratings, reviews, and sales history. Be cautious if a seller has a limited or suspicious online presence.

Monitor Your Accounts

The sooner you detect and report any fraudulent charges, the better your chances of recovering your funds. So, here’s how you can keep an eye on your account at all times –

Regularly review your bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions.
Sign up for transaction alerts whenever possible to receive instant notifications about activity on your accounts.
Don’t ignore bank SMSs for debit or credit transactions.

Double-Check Shipping Information

Always double-check the shipping address and other order details before confirming your purchase. Scammers may manipulate the address or details to reroute the package to their location.

Be Cautious of Deals That Seem Too Good to Be True

While we all love a good deal, be cautious if a deal seems too good to be true, especially from an unfamiliar website or seller. Scammers often use extremely low prices to entice victims into making impulsive purchases.

While online shopping brings convenience and access to a wide range of products, it’s essential to remain vigilant against the evolving threat of delivery fraud.

Remember, protecting yourself from delivery fraud isn’t just about safeguarding your finances—it’s about preserving your trust in the digital world.

FAQs

Q1. What is Delivery Fraud?

Answer. Delivery fraud involves scammers posing as delivery personnel from reputable sources like e-commerce sites or postal services. They convince victims to provide OTPs or sensitive information under false pretences, allowing them to access bank details and steal funds. Vigilance and cautious sharing of information are crucial to thwart such scams.

Q2. How to verify the authenticity of delivery agents?

Answer. To authenticate delivery agents, confirm their identity by contacting the respective e-commerce platform or delivery service directly using official contact information. Avoid sharing personal details or OTPs in person. Legitimate agents won’t ask for sensitive information. Trustworthy communication channels and verifying credentials are essential for ensuring authenticity.
