iPhone’s Full-Screen Call Interface Over Banner Notifications

0
iPhone’s Full Screen

Who doesn’t love to get a call from their loved one and check up on them? In the robustly advancing lifestyle a call and for iPhone users ‘FaceTime’ can do wonders. Why should these calls just appear as a small banner frolicking on top of our notification bar and why not have a full screen to celebrate the cause of you being missed and being in the prayers of many people? It seems great and special to see the FaceTime call displayed on full screen. However, some non-tech-savvy users are not aware of how to make these settings.

The idea of having a full-screen call interference with bold and big red and green buttons to tap on to accept or decline the call can be achieved in the following steps:

  1. Go to the ‘Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll through the options and select the ‘Phone’ option from the list.
  3. Tap on the ‘Incoming calls’ option.
  4. Now select the ‘Full screen’ option from the list.

iPhone’s Full Screen

Next time when you receive a call or a FaceTime call it will appear in full screen. What can you expect if the iPhone is unlocked and the user has received a call? The further mentioned list is all you will see on the full-screen incoming call scenario:

  1. The user will get a big RED and GREEN button to swipe or select for either declining or accepting the call.
  2. If the user has set the photo of the incoming contact number, The contact display photo will also appear.
  3. You can also see a ‘Remind me later’ button and ‘Quick message’ option.

Note that: you can get the full-screen call display, If you will scroll down the banner for incoming call notifications, however, it is always entertaining to have an automatic full-screen call.

Will it work on the Lock Screen call interface?

No, you will get the ‘Slide to answer’ option when there is a lock screen. The Full screen call inference is only applicable with unlocked iPhone screen.

Why Full screen call interference?

  1. If you’re the user with small hands in comparison of the display dimensions to cover, this option is for you as sometimes accepting or declining calls can be difficult.
  2. If you find it difficult to comprehend the small icons and font sizes the full screen option is for you. If the user of the iphone belongs to the geriatric population this can be a comfortable option for them.
  3. If the user has some ocular disorder, this option can help you with full screen interference and blocking other perplexing options in the background.

Note: This feature is only available on the iPhones and the full screen call inference can not be seen in Macbooks. In Macbooks one can only receive a notification for a call in a banner form.

Conclusion

It is always fun to make tiny changes here and there in your iPhones to enjoy all its features. Follow these aforementioned steps to get the Full Screen call interface.

Elon Musk Shows a Neuralink-trained Monkey Moving Cursor

Neuralink
Monkey

Introduction

Elon Musk has planned to go ahead with the Neuralink project of implanting a chip in human beings in the coming months, after successfully doing the same in a monkey, of which he shared a clip of the animal moving a cursor.

Monkey Implanted with Neuralink Chip Does Telepathic Typing

There is a reason why Elon Musk is at the stature where he is and is arguably the richest man on the planet right now, a position that he will occupy for a few more years at least, much to the consternation of his rivals.

He can afford all the luxuries that money can bring and recently he became the owner of one of the biggest social media platforms ever, which he purchased for a whopping $44 billion where he also blocked his ex-girlfriend’s account.

Jokes apart, despite the last part being true, he is the owner of many companies that are as different as chalk and cheese, like Tesla, which is a manufacturer of electric cars, SpaceX, which deals in space exploration technology, and now, Twitter.

Neuralink Corporation is a company that is involved in brain-computer interface of which Musk is an owner as well, which will soon begin a project where a Neuralink chip will be implanted in the human brain and will commence in six months.

The test has already been tested on a monkey, where Musk also shared an image of one, named Sake, that was brain implanted and was shown doing ‘telepathic typing’, as the chip had already been implanted in it and read its brain activity.

Monkey

While the monkey can type due to the implanted chip, it cannot talk and act like humans even though the fact that he can move the cursor on the display screen when seeing prompts is not something to be sneezed at either, which is all the more surprising as the chip is wireless.

This is the beginning of Neuralink’s brain implant tests where, in due course, human beings will be the guinea pigs instead of monkeys, although it requires approvals from many organizations like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Review: AMOLED Screen and Useful Fitness Features

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Review

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra is a perfect combination of a fitness tracker wearable and a health device that monitors vitals, activities, sleep and a lot more. With its 1.78 inch AMOLED 320×380 Pixels 2.5D Curved Edges display screen, 7 days battery life (as claimed by the brand) and water and dust resistant features, this appears to be the perfect choice if you are looking for an entry-level fitness band that knows its job. GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Smartwatch price in India begins at ₹2,288, which is a price point that makes the features look a lot better. Here’s our GOQii Smart Vital Ultra review for a closer look at the features.

But before we look at GOQii Smart Vital Ultra specifications, let’s take a quick glance at the pros and cons.

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Pros

  • The smartwatch has decent touch response and is easy to navigate when tied to the wrist
  • The display is bright and does not seem to have an issue with low visibility in daylight or under direct sunlight
  • Battery life, as per the claim of the brand, looks good. It remains one of the prime concerns when it comes to wearables in this entry-level market segment

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Cons

  • The tracking mechanism as per many tech bloggers has an issue and there are chances that GOQii Smart Vital Ultra may not be as accurate with its metrics
  • The watch screen is too susceptible to scratches and fingerprints thus encourage careful usage.
  • There are not many options for watch faces. The band can save only up to 7 watch faces at a time, which can be downloaded and accessed from the home screen

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Review

First things first, design-wise GOQii Smart Vital Ultra is lightweight and not too chunky on the wrist. The plastic rectangular frame dial placed in a polycarbonate shell makes the overall look solid and along with the silicone straps, the total weight of the watch is about 37 grams. The watch has a single plastic button on the right and gives a usual entry level fitness band vibe. The physical button on the right spine of the watch body is to access pre-install apps, navigate to the home screen, and switch the device power on/off. A downside, however, is the material of the strap which can become itchy at times, especially when worn for too long continuously.

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra is designed with a 1.78 inch AMOLED display screen that has 2.5D curved glass atop and 320 x 380p resolution. Although the screen easily gets scratched, the curved glass top provides smooth operation facilitating ease of use. However, it’s not only the scratches that you as a user have to worry about, the watch display is also too prone to fingerprints due to no fingerprint resistant coating. Amongst other significant features is the IP68 water and dust resistant certification.

The display brightness is decent and works quite well even during daytime and under direct sunlight. However, the auto brightness feature is missing here.  This means you will have to adjust the brightness of the watch display screen according to the lighting of your surroundings manually. This can be done by swiping down the screen from the top of the home screen. Moreover, the Smart Vital Ultra has an always-on mode and raise-to-wake gesture features to facilitate ease of use.

GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Review

GOQii as a brand has always tried to position itself more as a health technology company and on similar lines of messaging, GOQoo Smart Vital Ultra too has many features that can assist you in your fitness journey. The smartwatch has 18 built-in exercise modes that can assist you to plan out your entire workout regime keeping every aspect in mind. The different modes include walk, run, cycle, workout, yoga, cricket, aerobics, climb, and meditation. Amongst the significant vital tracking features, it includes heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, oxygen saturation levels (SpO2), and step count.

Some users may find the lack of specific women’s health feature an issue but overall GOQii has managed to offer a decent health device that would be useful for every user irrespective of gender or age. Compared to the brand’s last smartwatch that entered the foray of entry level smartwatches, Smart Vital Ultra step tracking appears to be a lot more accurate. Multiple tech reviews claimed in their reviews that the Smart Vital Ultra had added very minimally to no ghost steps while sleeping or driving.

GOQii is an Indian fitness technology company known for making smart fitness wristbands with dedicated a mobile app that offers personalised health coaching. The brand is known for metric accuracy and dedicated support in its way of approaching user health. In a market that is overcrowded with multiple premium brands competing, GOQii as a brand has been able to carve a niche with its innovative approach. The personalised health coaching provided by the brand on a subscription basis makes the wearable much more than just a health tracker. The dedicated health coach guide, suggest and even work as a support staff for the health needs of the users.

Here are key GOQii Smart Vital Ultra Specifications

  • 78-inch AMOLED, 320×380 Pixels, 2.5D Curved Edges

ELON MUSK

Introduction

Elon Musk just recently took over as the new CEO of Twitter, where barely a month after doing so, has ushered in a sea of change that have received polarizing reviews, but the latest one being that he plans to test Neuralink implants in humans the coming year.

Highlights

  • The Neuralink device that is the size of a large coin is designed to be implanted in the skull, with ultra-thin wires going directly into the brain
  • Musk’s company Neuralink has already sought permission for testing brain chip implants in human beings
  • Apparently, it is one of the many companies that is planning to develop chip to connect to humans via Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Musk Goes Ahead with Neuralink Chip Implantation Project in Human Beings

If you’re thinking that Elon Musk is that owner of Tesla and Twitter alone, then you’re wrong because he holds the same position for two other companies, SpaceX and Neuralink, which deal in satellite communications and brain-computer interfaces, respectively.

Elon Musk has given countless interviews in the past decade when it came to ‘big talks’ where he is either talking about Tesla’s self-driving tech or SpaceX’s capacity, where the former is making a slow and steady progress, even though it is far from what Musk had promised initially.

The latest buzz is that Neuralink is testing its implants in human beings for which Musk has made strong statements saying that the project will start within six months, which would be around June 2023, even though this isn’t the first time that he’s made such a big promise.

Whether or not he will be able to fulfill it is another topic for another day but the reports of Neuralink to start testing on humans has been going on since early 2020, which has been after the company had used the chip in a monkey to great success.

However, testing it on animals and human beings are two different things because for doing the latter you need to take several approvals from many authoritative sources as the tech is complex and can go horribly wrong, leading to disastrous consequences.

The latest implant version was unveiled recently as Neuralink showed a robot that will perform future operations and even though the tests proved successful on the monkey, the poor animal did not survive to see it complete, which is why the company has landed in turmoil and facing serious objections from Animal Rights Activists.

Conclusion

Elon Musk has confirmed that Neuralink will not be taking any uncalculated risks and will make sure that the chip is 100% perfect to be tested on human beings before doing so, for which the company needs to take the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

FIFA World Cup 2022 has brought many twists and turns, although not always concerned with the game, as Raheem Sterling has returned to his home country of England, citing family matters.

Highlights

  • Raheem Sterling is returning home from the ongoing FIFA World 2022 in Qatar, citing family concerns

  • The team saw prudent to give him a few days off given the grave circumstances so that he could spend some time with his family.

Raheem Sterling returns to his London home after armed break-in in his house

The FIFA World Cup 2022 has taken many twists and turns ever since they began earlier in November, although some of them have had little to do with the matches like the most recent one that shook many people to the core.

Earlier, the controversial ending of the Japan-Portugal match in the former’s favour was in the news for many days after many speculations on whether Ao Manaka made the goal fair and square or not.

However, this time it was a little different as Raheem Sterling, midfielder in the England World Cup squad, left Qatar mid-way the FIFA World Cup 2022, and returned to his home in London, England, after receiving news that his house had been broken into by armed intruders.

Sterling

The English Football Association also confirmed that he was left out of the 3-0 win over Senegal, saying that he was absent due to a ‘family matter’. The British media has reported that armed intruders had broken into Sterling’s London home when his family was at the property.

The 27-year-old Sterling has scored 20 goals in 81 caps for his nation, including one at the FIFA 2022 cup that led to a 6-2 victory over Iran. It is being speculated that even if he does return to Qatar in a few days, he might still be kept out of the starting line-up of England’s manager Gareth Southgate.

He might well be replaced by Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford as they both have scored three goals each in the tournament, but it will be revealed only later as to whether it is true or not.
