iPhone SE 4: Three Unanswered Questions About the Phone

0
iPhone SE 4

Although the launch of the iPhone SE 4 is not expected anytime before 2024, the conjecture around the fourth-generation SE has been gaining traction ever since its previous version was unveiled for the markets this year.

According to recent rumours, Chinese tech site MyDrivers and popular tipster Jon Prosser have claimed that iPhone SE‌ 4 is going to be in line with iPhone XR in the design department. And it has already been guessed that iPhone SE 4 will have the latest A16 Bionic chip, expected to be unveiled with the launch of Apple’s 2023 iPhone 15 lineup.

Amidst all the speculations, Apple inside Ross Young has recently claimed that Apple is still in its feature evaluation phase for the SE 4, which is why many answered questions are looming. So, while we wait for an official confirmation from Apple, let’s dig into the three unanswered questions about the phone as of now.

What about the Display of the iPhone SE 4?

As per the latest reveal by Apple Inside Ross Young, the brand is currently pondering over two options – 5.7 inches or 6.1 inches display size. Since the iPhone XR was presented with a 6.1 inch display, tech enthusiasts all across strongly appear to be believing that iPhone SE 4 will also most likely have a 6.1 inch screen size.

Tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also confirmed that the brand was supposedly working with the screen size in mind.

Whether it will be an LCD or OLED Display?

Another unanswered question about iPhone SE 4 remains is the type of display. Many tech bloggers have speculated that keeping things in line with previous SE models, the upcoming fourth-generation version will also sport an LCD display. However, the chances of Apple planning to shake things up and change the display to OLED are also high. They have already used OLED in iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.

Touch ID or Face ID?

If the reports of SE 4 sporting a design like iPhone XR are true then it is obvious that SE 4 is not getting the capacitive Home button for a Touch ID. In that case, this version will either have the ‌Touch ID‌ Side button or the second option is to have the Face ID security feature. Again, no final word has come out from the brand as of now and thus, this too remains one of the major unanswered questions around the device.

iOS Dominates and Android Flounders, Struggle for Dominance Continues

ios dominates android
android

Everyone uses an Android or iOS device in this day and age as they are two of the most dominant operating systems right now but in 2022, Android has experienced a slowdown and is floundering, while iOS is in its booming phase and dominating the arena.

Android is the most dominant mobile operating system due to having more number of devices running it, whereas iOS is confined to Apple devices, but it seems that both parties are witnessing a change in fortunes as of late.

Why are Android users switching to the iOS ecosystem?

Highlights

  • 2022 is about to end in a few days and it has proven great for iOS OS, while the dominance of Android seems to have hit a trough this time around.
  • The market share for iOS has seen a massive upsurge in the final quarter of 2022 due to the launch of iPhone 14 Pro Max.
  • Despite iOS having an excellent 2022, it is nowhere near to touching Android’s dominance, which will continue to remain so as long as it is restricted to Apple devices.

iOS OS Surges in Fortunes in 2022 While Android Struggles

It is no secret that Android is the most dominating operating system we have today, with only iOS being its closest contender, but still when it comes to market dominance, both OS are miles apart, simply because iOS is constricted to Apple devices, while Android has much more under its belt.

The reason why iOS has dominated 2022 is because of the recent launch of iPhone 14 Pro Max, which was the most dominant device in the entire lineup, although the idea of launching vanilla models with different specs has ended in disaster for Apple.ios dominates android

Android is losing ground and is floundering as the year comes to an end, despite the smartphone market being at a stable pace in 2022, although things might change later on.

However, all said and done, iOS is way behind matching the dominance of Android in terms of market share because it does not have anything apart from Apple devices, which is why it is still at a 30% market share, whereas Android has gone above 70%.

Still, there continues to be a real battle between the two most dominant operating systems because even though iOS has only Apple devices, the fact that these devices match Android ones perfectly in terms of quality, a credit to Apple’s vision.

Apple Pressurized to Introduce Revolutionary Changes in iOS 17

iOS 17

Apple is the biggest tech giant in the world that recently launched iOS 16 in September 2022, and may also come out with iOS 17 the following year, although there is a strong buzz that European legislators are pressurizing the tech giant to do something different this time.

This is why you might see Apple introducing revolutionary changes in the iOS 17 OS that will soon be taking effect, if they’re planning to launch the mobile operating system sometime in 2023.

iOS 16 Bulk Edit Photos Feature, A Tale To Tell!

Highlights

  • Apple will launch the new mobile operating system, iOS 17, in 2023, but it will be something different given the pressure coming from European legislators.
  • The new changes are being created on the spur of the moment where Apple will allow in third party app stores.
  • The company also plans to open up the messaging system and replace most of the apps on iPhones and iPads.

Apple Plans Revolutionary Things for iOS 17 OS

Apple has released many products and devices since the past many years, with the latest being the iPhone 14 series launched in September 2022, which received mixed to positive reviews from one and all.

It isn’t easy to reach the status of arguably the biggest tech giant in the world and sustain the position over a consistent period of time, which Apple has accomplished excellently.

However, sometimes big tech companies have to bow down to pressure from investors and legislators, which happened with Apple as the tech giant was pressurized by European legislators make changes in their mobile operating system.

Apple has decided to open up its mobile OS and make the necessary changes in the upcoming iOS 17, which is quite sudden and unexpected, as many people are surprised at this move.

iOS 17

Among the expected changes, allowing third party app stores could be one of the first steps, followed up opening the messaging system and replacing most of the built-in applications on iPhones and iPads.

It appears that the company’s service engineers and developers are toiling hard to open up significant components on the platforms, due to which iOS and iPadOS users will be given the choice to install apps.

Reliable sources have confirmed that the iOS changes will first happen in Europe and then move on to other bigger markets like the United States, which is also working on a legislative initiative similar to Europe’s Digital Services (DSA), which regulates the digital market.

This means that Apple has plenty of opposition to lookout for and has to deal with them in equal measure for dividing the cake, although it spells good news for developers and users as they can avoid 30% tax in special circumstances provided their application fit into certain categories.

iOS 17 OS Conclusion

It remains to be seen as to how successful this endeavor becomes but the new changes will definitely be lapped up by both users and tech experts if they are revolutionary and unique, thereby becoming a benchmark for other tech giants to follow, match-up to, and surpass.

Avatar: The Way of Water is releasing today in India on December 16, 2022, although it has already been leaked on Torrent sites in the country far and wide, which has left the makers and distributors worried that nobody will go to watch it on the big screen, now that is available online.

Piracy has been a huge menace in India since the 80s and 90s, which had caused massive losses to theatres in those times but now, with the advent of online websites like Torrent, there continues to be a constant threat to big releases.

Highlights

  • James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is all set to release in India on Friday i.e., on 16th December 2022.
  • The movie will release in six languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
  • However, ahead of its launch in India, Avatar: The Way of Water has been leaked online on torrent and other piracy-enabling sites.

Avatar: The Way of Water Found on Torrent Before its Release in India

James Cameron is one of the biggest filmmakers in the world who made immortal classics like Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009), both of which have been the highest grossers of the year during their release and, today, have gone down in history as two of the directors’ best works.

Now with the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, all set for release in India, it has surfaced that the movie has surfaced on Torrent sites, which releases pirated versions of an upcoming movie, which causes huge losses to filmmakers, theatre owners, and distributors.

Avatar

It isn’t just torrent, but many websites that are piracy-enabled have released the movie on their platforms in numerous quality versions and varying sizes, although the first leaked version was on Torrent where it was titled “CAM”, which signified that it could have been made with a video camera in a cinema theatre.

Needless to say, the leaked version of the movie is of extremely poor quality, which degrades a filmmaker of James Cameron’s caliber, whose Titanic and Avatar are still fresh in the minds of people even after so many decades and have become a part of pop culture.

Many people have also shared screenshots that clearly show problems with the size, colour, brightness, contrast, and sharpness, while the less said about audio quality, the better.

Avatar: The Way of Water has a massive star cast headed by Sam Worthington, who plays Jack Sully, an ex-human being who fell for Neytiri, Zoe Saldana as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver plays Kiri, Stephen Lang plays Colonel Miles Quaritch, Cliff Curtis as Tonowari, and Kate Winslet as Ronal, among others.

Not many people would be aware that Apple’s MacBook Pro M2 Max has become the talk of the town, which has been on the bucket list of numerous people ever since it was announced, although the latest updates don’t bode well for the model as it might not match the expectations of the people.

Geekbench, a popular cross-platform utility that benchmarks CPUs of PCs, has given it a score that shows that M2 Max doesn’t come with any significant upgrade over M2 MacBooks and M1 MacBooks.

Highlights

  • One of the most awaited devices for 2023 is the Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max that has been spotted on many online websites.
  • However, it is scored a mere 1889 points in the single-core test on Geekbench, although it has scored high in the multi-core tests.
  • Decoding this score indicates that MacBook Pro M2 Max may not match the high level expectations of its predecessors.

MacBook M2 Pro Max Might Not Match Expectations

Apple just recently launched its new iPhone 14 series back in September 2022, but it is now ready to make newer inroads into the laptop segment as well as it has a slew of them lined up for launch in 2023.

Nobody can ever doubt Apple’s credibility but that does not mean that it can always come out with devices that are 100% perfect, which has happened quite a few times and it goes on to show that even a tech giant like Apple can have quite a few misses.

Many users have been making a list of the things they expect from the upcoming model, Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max, and it mostly narrows down to performance upgrades.

MACBOOK PRO M2 MAX

Geekbench, which is a cross-platform utility, has given its scores for the upcoming model that has surfaced online, as users were surprised to see the laptop listed in the Geekbench 5 benchmark database, which determines the performance of a CPU.

In the database, Macbook Pro M2 Max has scored 1889 points in the single-core tests, which is quite low, while it has scored 14586 points in the multi-core tests, although score is not the only thing that determines the merit of any device.

Coming to the specs, the site reveals that the laptop is equipped with a 12-core processor clocked at 3.4GHz, while the CPU has 128 KB of L1 instruction cache, 64 KB of L1 data cache, and 4MB of L2 cache.

While MacBook M2 Pro promises a decent enough performance based on scores, it doesn’t promise any significant upgrade that can be classified as groundbreaking, which might make users wonder whether it is worth waiting for Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max.

The main camera is notable for having a higher resolution than the previous model and being able to provide three times lossless soon. Although, the one thing missing here is OIS.

The main camera shoots 12-megapixel photos by default and when taken in the daylight, the results are pretty good. There’s a great contrast in image quality with adequate dynamic range and likeable colours.

We have seen better fine details such as foliage here and there but at least the processing doesn’t draw your attention to that. It’s quite balanced and there’s a three-time zoom toggle, thanks to the main camera’s large sensor.

Videos can be captured with the main camera in up to 4K at 30fps and the quality is outstanding with excellent detail and sharpness. A point of contention could be the no-stabilization feature in the 4K video recording.

In low light, 4K videos from the main camera are impressive as well. The ultra-wide is capped at 1080P and takes well-balanced videos during the day with enough detail and low noise-accurate colours.

Realme 10 Pro + Larger Battery

The previous Realme flagship equivalent 9 Pro Plus had a decent battery life that one couldn’t really complain about. However, the successor Realme 10 Pro Plus has upped its game with a larger battery size and has managed to blow Its predecessor away.

The 5000mAh battery was able to score an incredible endurance rating of 149 hours in the Proprietary Battery Life Tests performed by one of the top tech bloggers.

On top of that larger battery size, the charging speed is faster too. With the bundled 67w adapter, you can easily plan on charging from 0 to 86 per cent in just about half an hour.

Verdict

The Realme 10 Pro + overall is a decent phone for the price tag and provides plenty of improvements over the previous models launched in recent years. While the 6.7-inch curved display, the 5000mAh battery life with fast charging and the camera functionality are impressive in this smartphone.

The major downsides are surely the lack of Ingress Protection and sub-standard selfie quality. On all, if you can ignore some of these minute negatives, the Realme 10 Pro + is definitely worth checking out.
