Modern phones have long been not used for its intended purpose. Now it is a music player, video and camera, GPS-navigator, etc. For conversations, of course, phones are used, but less often than before. But even if the interlocutor is hard to hear on "iPhone 6", then this is a cause for concern for the owner. Such expensive gadgets from Apple should work properly.

Unfortunately, not a single phone is immune from this. Even the new flagship iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are at risk.

Add volume

Let's start with the banal. Inexperienced users during a conversation just make the speaker sound quieter by involuntarily pressing the volume down button on the side panel. In this case, you don’t even need to open the iPhone 6 settings. To set the maximum volume, you need to call someone and already during the call, increase the volume with the side keys.

Judging by the messages on different forums, a simple action helps many users: insert and pull out the headset. If it helps, then this is great, but if not, then move on.

Shipping film and covers

Another reason: shipping film. After buying a new smartphone, there is always a film on the screen that for some reason people do not shoot. They do it supposedly in order to maintain a beautiful appearance, but this film can simply block the speaker, which makes the interlocutor difficult to hear.

Covers can also cover the sound. Usually they have a hole for the speaker, but it is sometimes clogged with garbage. Try to clean it and test the phone again.

Clean the speaker mesh

If the mesh, which covers the membrane and serves as a kind of protection against debris, could become clogged, then to clean it, you need to use a cotton swab with alcohol or a toothbrush. Also try blowing it and taking out the trash.

If cleaning helped, then that’s fine. True, dirt accumulates not only outside but also inside. Therefore, sometimes the phone needs to be disassembled in order to clean out the garbage from under the net.

For disassembly, special asterisk screwdrivers are used. Most likely, you do not have them, so you will have to contact a service center. If there is a necessary tool, then you can try to remove the cover yourself. But do it carefully so as not to hurt or tear off the cable.

Did it help? If not, we will look for a reason.

We are looking for a reason

It is important to remember, after which the interlocutor on the iPhone 6 became hard to hear. For example, after the gadget fell out of your hands or you knocked a glass of water onto it. It is possible that sand got into the speaker after relaxing on the beach. Anything could disturb his work, but most often the owner was to blame. The speakers themselves spoil extremely rarely. After all, this is a simple module, in which there is nothing special to break.

Unfortunately, units of users can independently repair iPhone 6. It is impossible to do this without special screwdrivers, so the simplest laconic tip is to bring the phone to a service center.

Moreover, if you remember exactly that the speaker began to work worse after the fall, then you can especially not rush. However, if you are sure (or at least there is such a probability) that you determined the bad sound on the “iPhone 6” after getting into the water body, you must immediately turn off the phone, remove the battery and take the device to a service center. In this case, this is the minimum that you can do useful. The maximum is if you also dry your phone with a hairdryer for at least 5-10 minutes. Surely during this time, the water will evaporate from the inside. After that, carry the phone to the master anyway.

If it turns out that the water got inside and closed the contacts, you will have to put a new speaker on the iPhone 6. Usually it is inexpensive, but with the condition of paying for the work it will turn out not so cheap. Also, it cannot be ruled out that during the fall some contact or a loop did not move away. In this case, the repair will not be expensive.

Could there be a reason for the software?

Can. The iOS operating system itself is beautiful. It is well optimized, easy to manage, constantly updated. But now many users have popular jailbreaks. These are special programs installed on iOS. In other words, firmware.

Yes, they open up many opportunities for users, including the ability to install cool free programs for which you would have to pay money without a jailbreak. But firmware is unofficial software, and no one is responsible for their performance. There is no need to be surprised that after some jailbreak, the interlocutor on iPhone 6 will be hard to hear. And although the problem in software is solved quite easily, a similar feature does occur.

So it is not recommended, unless absolutely necessary, to install all sorts of complex software that can harm the system. Well, if the problem with the speaker will be programmatic. In this case, the repair of "iPhone 6" is not required at all. It will be enough just to install the latest official software through the iTunes program.

By the way, there can rarely be a problem even in the official firmware. There have been times when new versions of Apple software only harmed the phone. Therefore, you can try to "roll back" to the previous version of the software. This is unlikely to solve the problem, but worth a try.

If all else fails

If removing the jailbreak and installing the official software did not help and you still cannot hear the interlocutor on iPhone 6, you will have to contact a service center or, if there is no guarantee, some private workshop.

Well, in extreme cases, just use a wired (it always comes with the phone) or a bluetooth headset, and also communicate over the speakerphone.

iPhone 7 is the first iPhone with stereo speakers (one at the top of the phone and one at the bottom), and it plays audio twice as good as the iPhone 6s. This is great, but not when you have an older model.

You can always maximize the volume when listening to music, watching movies or making calls on the speakerphone, but there is another way to make the speaker on the iPhone louder.

The method is suitable for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models.

How to increase speaker volume byiPhone

1)   Open Settings.

2)   Choose from the list Music.

4)   Scroll down and select Late night.

Now turn on some song with mode Late night, and then her, disabling this mode. You will immediately notice a difference in volume. Late Night mode is the loudest of all Equalizer settings.

It works even when you listen to music on headphones.

As the name implies, the mode is designed to increase the volume of audio for listening to music or watching movies at night. Equalizer settings affect songs played in the standard Music application.

The mode can also operate in other applications and games, as well as during calls. However, some applications (e.g. Spotify) have their own built-in equalizers that will not allow the system settings to work.

Electronics manufacturer Cooler Master has a number of hardware products, such as keyboards, power supplies, headsets, computer cases (PCs), mice, and, of course, coolers. Each of its products has been specifically designed based on community feedback. Including keyboards. Cooler Master even had a Kickstarter project - an analog keyboard with pressure-sensitive keys called the ContolPad. With that said, let's take a closer look at what can make the new Cooler Master SK621 keyboard special for the user.

Keyboard News: Overview The Cooler Master SK621 is a mechanical wireless keyboard with a separate wired option.

The first thing that is noticeable in the review is the ability to conveniently pair the wireless keyboard with three different devices. Connecting a device is as simple as holding down the function button and Z, X or C. Thanks to this feature, it’s very easy to switch from using your phone to your computer. Turning on your Cooler Master SK621 keyboard is also easy. Either connect it via a USB Type-C cable, or on the left side, activate a very simple switch to wireless mode.

You can display a wide variety of colors (shades) on any key, adjust lighting modes, or customize macros using the Cooler Master software.

When using SK621 for the first time, it is recommended to connect to a computer via USB Type-C and install the Cooler master portal. This will allow you to control various lighting effects and wireless keyboard settings. It is possible to create predefined profiles, which simplifies switching between profiles when using elements. You can also adjust the lighting effects using the controls, but the above mentioned portal is more convenient for the user. Wireless keyboard setup is very easy to use and has many combinations. There are options - adjusting the speed, direction and brightness of the keyboard backlight effects.

Macros can also be programmed. It is also worth adding that all functions, such as RGB-backlight, macros and controls are also available when using SK621 via Bluetooth connection. The battery life of the wireless keyboard is also impressive. It may take a couple of full working days before the indicator turns red, indicating that the battery is low. Charging the SK621 wireless keyboard is also easy. Just plug in your keyboard via USB Type-C. The keyboard can still be used as a wired keyboard while the cable charges the keyboard battery.

The keyboard case is made of polished aluminum, which makes it lightweight, durable and provides an excellent appearance. There is also a pleasant smooth accent around the edge of the aluminum, which adds a touch of elegance. The keys are made of plastic and do not have a special texture.

The low-profile Cherry MX keys are quiet enough for office use. The key switches are incredibly sensitive, and using the Cooler Master SK621 wireless keyboard requires some practice. This is because the keys record keystrokes to the nearest millimeter or less.

Keyboard SK621 is designed compact, it is quite portable. A nice addition is a velvet bag. It is definitely made for gaming thanks to the Cherry MX keys, but it's easy to use for work.

The Cooler Master SK621 does everything it is designed for. However, the keys are great for games, but too sensitive for typing. Plastic keys are also prone to oil stains on the fingers, so eating during the game can be difficult. Perhaps if the keys had some kind of oil-resistant coating or more texture, the oil prints would not be so pronounced.

Features of the wireless keyboard Cooler Master SK621:

Brushed aluminum case design;

A flat brushed aluminum keyboard top panel, floating keycaps, and a slim, minimalist body design.

Color backlighting of the keyboard (RGB LEDs);

Individual key illumination by LEDs and the surrounding LED ring with the possibility of individual customization.

Hybrid wired and wireless;

Connect up to three devices using Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology or a wired connection and simultaneously charge the battery.

Minimum keyboard layout by 60%;

It can be said that this wireless mini keyboard has a unique design for maximum portability.

Easy to use software.

Low profile Cherry MX keys;

The reduced travel distance and the trigger point function with the same durability and accuracy (according to the manufacturer of the wireless keyboard).

Available controls;

In real time, you can adjust the keyboard backlight and macros without the need for software.

Cooler Master SK621 Wireless Keyboard Summary:

In general, Cooler Master, the manufacturer of electrical equipment and keyboards, has exceeded all expectations. This is especially impressive because it can make a really interesting wireless keyboard. Model SK621 has many lighting effects and individual settings, has a compact design and lots of user-friendly features. Using the SK621 at work and then returning it home for gaming can make the gadget your favorite wireless keyboard for a price of almost $ 200.

Zurich's Swiss Higher Technical School (ETH Zurich) has unveiled the details of Concrete Choreography, an installation recently opened in Riom, Switzerland. The innovative installation represents the first 3D-printed concrete stage built by the robot, consisting of columns made without formwork and printed using 3D printing technology at full height in 2.5 hours. It is expected that this process will significantly increase the efficiency of concrete structures while achieving the manufacture of complex materials components and building robots.

In the Swiss Riom, nine columns with a height of 2.7 meters are installed at the Origen festival. Each column is printed in concrete in 3D. The new columns were individually designed using special software and manufactured using the new automated 3D printing process of concrete, developed by the ETH Zurich team with support from NCCR DFAB.

3D printing of concrete like this

Graduate students in digital manufacturing and architecture are exploring the unique potential of multi-layer extrusion printing, demonstrating the potential of computer-aided design and digital manufacturing for future concrete construction. Perhaps in the construction industry, this process will become more ecological in the future if they develop new eco-friendly concrete for 3D printing.

Video review 3D printing of concrete: Concrete choreography.

Here's how 3D printing made of concrete works quickly and easily.

3D printing of houses, concrete buildings is a perspective for construction.

Hollow concrete structures are printed for the strategic use of materials, which provides a more sustainable approach to a specific architecture. In addition, the calculated material structure and surface textures are an example of versatility and the significant aesthetic potential of 3D printing with concrete when used in large-scale structures.

The new review will be about printing on a 3D printer with metal.

It is worth noting that there is a technology that would carry out 3D printing with metal. This is also a promising direction for construction, but for this, other materials are used (for example, powder), programs and other types of printers (which we will talk about soon).

What color is your mobile phone? Is it black, red, white, gold or blue? Most likely, the back of your phone has some one-color option, which you will find in the coloring kit for beginners. Most phone manufacturers took too much time to realize that the colors of the phones are really important for customers, and only recently they began to give mobile phones not only a rarely used color, but fancy shades such as coral red or canary color.

Unsurprisingly, most people don't mind hiding the back of their phones behind an opaque plastic case. In cases, the user can choose the right color for the phone case to give the mobile a little personality. But the new Thai phones of the Honor 20 Pro and Honor 20 series are the first smartphones in the world with a three-dimensional dynamic holographic design, and their reflective appearance can become the new industry standard.

3D color holography for the phone case.

In order to achieve a flickering optical illusion, the Honor manufacturer has developed its Honor 20 model with a deep layer containing millions of flickering microscopic prisms, and on top of this is the so-called layer of curved 3D glass. The combination of these technologies makes the light "play and dance" on the back of the phone when the user turns it in different directions.

Two colors for the Honor 20 phone can be found under these dynamic layers, these are Midnight Black and Sapphire Blue. Unlike new-fangled phrases for some phone colors, the Honor mobile has color gradients for phones that really cause the effect of a flickering night sky or a flickering gem.

Although the color options of the cases sound exciting, with the Chinese phone Honor 20 Pro you can go even further. This upgraded model contains the proprietary Triple 3D Mesh containing three layers. Instead of just painting the back cover of the phone itself, this time with a body color layer, located between the outer 3D layer and the inner depth layer. According to the handset manufacturer, this makes color shift effects much more dynamic.

The Honor 20 Pro mobile phone is actively sold in two colors, such as phantom black (Phantom Black) and phantom blue (Phantom Blue). Although the names of these phone colors are not so metaphorical, you should not think that their back panels are less dynamic.

Honor's obsession with choosing the right colors may seem overly dramatic, but in the UK, for example, a survey of hundreds of Britons found that forty-nine percent of them consider color when choosing a phone to buy.

What is the sale of a phone with a changing color scheme for?

Choosing a mobile phone, as Honor designer Jun-Su Kim put it, is “Extending a person’s life.” In fact, Honor claims that customer identity cannot be embraced by one unchanging color.

History of the creation of Honor color phones.

The Honor 20 model shows the natural evolution of the company's experiments with dynamic color in the design of the phone. With the Honor 8 model, the trend of a 2.5D multi-layer back wall has begun, which creates a 3D grille effect. Then the version of Honor 9 turned into a phone with a curved 3D glass, echoes of which can already be found in the model Honor 20. Well, last year the model Honor 10 was equipped with a rear window "Aurora", which reflected colors from all sides.

What is the screen like on a Honor phone?

Honor's design innovations are not limited to the color of the phone. Pay attention to the location of the Honor 20 camera. Instead of cropping the screen to make room for a “selfie” camera. The phone manufacturer cut a hole with a diameter of 4.5 mm in the upper left corner of the screen, thereby leaving more screen space for the user's needs.

Camera with artificial intelligence or AI camera in the phone.

According to the description of the phone, it is worth noting that on the back of the device, the Honor 20 AI camera has four lenses and is located, so that there would be more space for a battery with a large amount of memory. But most importantly, it turns out a 48-megapixel camera that uses the Kirin 980 AI microchip to take DSLR level photos and improve photos.

Summary of Honor phone color.

To summarize, phone descriptions, technical compatibility, and cutting-edge hardware innovations are what usually draw attention to Chinese Honor phones. But, in this case, the technology is almost overshadowed by the design of the case with a unique color, which may cause some users to not want to return to the simple two-dimensional colors of the phone case in the future.

There are still occasions for rumors about the release of the Google Pixel 4 mobile phone. A new set of information or forecasts comes from the leaked image on the Internet (3D rendering of colored cases), which is supposed to be related to the Google Pixel 4. There are often cases when users are following behind the topic of new products such images are missed. Meanwhile, for some analysts, the new picture helps make several assumptions not only about the color of the phone.

The new, unofficial, image of Google Pixel 4 gives rise to rumors about the color options of the mobile phone case.

Although the other image of the phone case itself does not seem to show more than what has already been discussed on the Internet earlier, the model that can be seen in the background of the photo is surprising because of the color. That mobile phone has a shade of purple that the Pixel did not have before.

No matter what the leak about the phone’s colors is true or false, it is safe to assume that this year the new Google Pixel 4 will definitely have an additional color. More interestingly, in the image, the physical buttons on the sides of the phones contrast with the color of the case. You can see the white, blue and yellow buttons that give the phone a funny look.

For some strange reason, all the images and leaks seen so far only displayed the back panel of the Google Pixel 4 smartphone. According to various sources, Google allegedly shared the rendering of the phone, and there was also a part that featured a square protrusion of the camera. A dual camera unit was visible.

Discussed photo leaks, including the image along with the covers, show the rear panel in different colors and a module with a camera. And what do you think is the best color for your phone?

About the specifications of the Google Pixel 4:

Obviously, the idea of \u200b\u200ba fingerprint scanner does not leave fans alone. Some want the phone to have either a face ID to unlock the phone, or a fingerprint scanner on the display, or both.

Some other aspects and specifications, such as the size of the phones and the overall thickness are 8.2 mm higher compared to the 7.9 mm that can be seen in the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, can be taken as close to reality.

There is speculation that the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL versions of the phone may look more like the “Apple iPhone 11,” which is scheduled to be released in a couple of months, in the fall. When, more precisely? The technology company Google has not yet announced the official release date for the Pixel 4, but various sources have hinted at the release of a new phone at the end of October.

Soon, we will talk about this in more detail, so stay tuned for news on new smartphones from Google.

The robot set a world record for assembling the Rubik's Cube. This robot was developed by students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Jared Di Carlo and Ben Katz, in a student laboratory. For comparison, the fastest human record is held by the Australian Felix Zemdegs, who in 2018 collected the Rubik's Cube in just 4.22 seconds. By the way, the original Rubik's Cube has 43 quintillion possible combinations for one solution. Watch the video with the robot champion below.

In the hearts of many people there is a special place for the Rubik's Cube. This is a good workout for intelligence. Many have loved or still love to play with this ingenious toy, and over the years there have been many contests, trials and variations for the solution to assemble the Rubik's Cube.

New Rubik's Cube assembly record 3x3x3.

For years, engineers and enthusiasts have used robots to build Rubik's Cubes. Previously, 10 seconds was considered a quick assembly, and by today's standards of the digital age - this time causes a smile.

The new record was only a matter of time when engineers and robotics began to solve the problem of creating a new robot. Back in 2016, the robot set a new record for assembling the Rubik's Cube in 0.637 seconds. But for some enthusiasts, this time was not fast enough.

More recently, two students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jared Di Carlo (a third-year student in electrical engineering and computer science) and Ben Katz (a graduate student in mechanical engineering), thought that they could assemble a faster robot that could solve a puzzle with a three-dimensional combination.

They watched videos of previous robots, and noticed that the robot engines were not the fastest that could be used to solve the problem. So we thought that they could achieve greater success with improved engines and controls.

How does the robot assemble the Rubik's Cube

Students installed an engine that drives every facet of the Rubik's Cube, controlled by electronics. Using a pair of webcams aimed at the cube, special software determines the initial state of each side of the cube (which colors are on which face of the cube at a given time). Then, based on the information received, using the existing software for assembling the Rubik's Cube, the robot solves puzzles using an algorithm.

What is the result of the work? Their robot collected the Rubik's Cube in 0.38 seconds! It is safe to say that not a single person is physically capable of breaking the record for this speed. You can add another achievement to the list of robots superior to humans.

There is a man who has the fastest world record for manual assembly, his name is Felix Zemdegs. He was able to collect the Rubik's Cube in 4.22 seconds. The skills and talents that supersede robots are vast and varied, to say the least. Not to mention the fact that robots can still surprise. Next video demonstration of the robot.

Video review of the Rubik's Cube assembly in 0.38 seconds:

So, hardware hackers, Ben Katz, together with Jared Di Carlo, broke the previous record for the robotic collection of the Rubik's Cube. Their robot solved the puzzle 40 percent faster than in the previous record.

Details about the robot champion

The robotic fixture was assembled from Kollmorgen ServoDisc U9 series engines, PlayStation Eye cameras (for scanning a cube), and of course, a Rubik's Cube was needed. According to the creators of the robot, “The entire software process takes about 45 milliseconds. Most of the time is spent waiting for the webcam driver and determining the colors on the sides of the Rubik's Cube.”

Artificial Intelligence Research Group Facebook Inc. unveiled a new robotics platform called PyRobot. This platform (framework) was developed in conjunction with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. PyRobot aims to help researchers and students in the field of artificial intelligence integrate deep learning models created using the PyTorch platform (this is a machine learning library for the Python programming language) with the robots that they create. The basic idea is that they can more easily create their robots using artificial intelligence skills such as natural language processing.

Facebook said it wants to foster long-term research in robotics to help develop embedded artificial intelligence systems that can learn more effectively through interactions with the physical world.

What is PyRobot today

PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level interface that provides hardware-independent APIs for robotic manipulation and navigation. The PyRobot repository also contains a low-level stack for LoCoBot, an inexpensive hardware platform for mobile manipulators (tools for building robots). Now artificial intelligence and machine learning is becoming more accessible to beginners in robotics.

Academic Supervisor Abinav Gupta and Saurabh Gupta, as a Facebook researcher, explained on their blog that: PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level interface on top of the robot's operating system. It provides a consistent set of mid-level hardware-independent APIs (application programming interfaces) for controlling various robots. PyRobot ignores details about low-level controllers and interprocess communication, so machine learning specialists and others can simply focus on creating high-level robotics applications with AI (artificial intelligence).

A Facebook source also reports that PyRobot has dozens of potential applications, for example, helping researchers share data and set landmarks and build on each other's work. The company has requested proposals from the wider AI research community on how to democratize robotics with LoCoBot and PyRobot, which are hardware specifications, and tools for creating low-cost robots.

PyRobot uses an API to abstract functions that robots should use. Perform tasks such as kinematics, trajectory planning, position, speed, and torque control for joints, as well as visual simultaneous localization and mapping. PyRobot comes with a number of pre-trained deep learning models that allow robots to navigate, capture objects, and so on.

This means that developers can program their robots using just a few lines of Python code, Facebook says.

Facebook researchers also say that: The cost of hardware and the complexity of specialized software limit the scope of research in the field of robotics. With lower barriers to entry, researchers can, for example, create several robots that collect data and learn in parallel. Providing a common platform for various equipment. PyRobot will lead to the development of tests in robotics, similar to other areas in AI, and quantify the pace of progress of robotics with artificial intelligence.

Like Amazon's RoboMaker, PyRobot acts as an interface on top of the Robot Operating System (ROS), expanding the infrastructure. In May, Microsoft, a technology company, released a robotics toolkit with limited previews, and last year integrated the ROS platform in Windows 10.

Ming-Chi Kuo, the famous analyst and author of forecasts for Apple smartphones, can certainly be the most reliable source of leaks and information about Apple products. And today, he released a new research report received by Mac Rumors, where he mentions the future of the iPhone and when can we expect that Apple will finally switch to smartphones with support for 5G (fifth generation mobile communications).

When Apple was still planning on using Intel modems in its iPhone, it was rumored that the iPhone 2020 phone model would be the first to receive 5G connectivity. However, since then, the apple company has switched from its modem provider to Qualcomm. For which they had to settle a long patent dispute with an American chip manufacturer, pay at least $ 4.5 billion and not use Intel modems. Perhaps Intel even closed its 5G development plans after this news.

Ming-Chi Kuo also said that all three iPhone models in 2020 will be presented in several colors and equipped with an OLED screen, unlike the LCD screen (LCD) in the current iPhone XR. However, this year, we are likely to still receive an iPhone XR update with an LCD, so if the OLED screen on your mobile phone is too important for you, maybe wait a year.

5G iPhone competitors:

Currently, our best competitors on the Android system are the following 5G phones:

1)   Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G (128 GB of memory, 6 GB of RAM and a battery with fast charging);

2)   OPPO Reno 5G (innovative design, affordable price, powerful camera);

3)   LG V50 ThinQ (1440 by 3120 pixels screen, memory expansion up to 1 TB, 4000 mAh battery);

4)   OnePlus 7 Pro 5G (frameless AMOLED-screen has no recesses and holes);

5)   ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G (48 megapixel camera, Snapdragon 855 chip).

Global sales of 5G phones.

Global deliveries to mobile stores supporting 5G technology (this is the fifth generation fast mobile communication) may be higher than market analysts expected. It is worth noting that some observers of the mobile market believe that such shipments are likely to reach 150-200 million units or more than a dozen percent of global shipments of 5G phones next year.

After many rumors in the news of the cryptocurrency market. On Tuesday, Facebook’s plans for next year were unveiled, including the ambitious release of a new digital currency called Libra (or Libra). It will be managed by an association of corporate investors. Partners are Visa, Mercado Pago, PayPal, Mastercard and Stripe. The technology companies Uber, eBay, Spotify and Lyft are joining the project. European telecommunications companies Vodafone and Iliad are also participating in a new project. Investors are Union Square Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, plus the academic, non-profit institutions Womens World Banking and Kiva.

Through their mobile applications, billions of people are expected to be able to make payments using cryptocurrencies from social media giant Facebook. The social network Facebook plans to officially launch the new Libra cryptocurrency project in 2020. Libra is a new type of digital money that targets billions of people using mobile apps and a social network.

To create a new digital wallet that will allow users of the Facebook application to store and exchange cryptocurrency. Facebook creates a new subsidiary Calibra.

Why is Facebook betting on a cryptocurrency called Libra? Perhaps the highest goal of the latest development is to go beyond social networks.

Digital wallets for storing, sending and spending Libra cryptocurrencies will be connected to messaging platforms.

Initially, the cryptocurrency will be available in the Facebook Messenger / WhatsApp application, and of course in separate applications for iOS or Android.

A Facebook press release said that: “Initially, Calibra will allow you to easily and instantly send Libra at a low price to almost anyone with a smartphone.”

It is also reported that: "Over time, additional services will be offered for enterprises and people. For example, buying a cup of coffee with a code scan, paying a bill with the click of a button, traveling by public transport without having to take cash."

Facebook cryptocurrency wallet security.

To increase the security of the new cryptocurrency, it will use the similar functions of verification and protection against fraud that are already used by credit cards and banks. The cryptocurrency service Facebook will have user support. And in case of gaining access to the user account of someone else, the promise of reimbursement of lost assets is promised.

Cryptocurrency coins will be stored by users in a digital wallet. But, the cryptocurrency world itself is not always stable! Time will tell if Facebook’s own digital money can help people save by sending and spending it as easily as texting.

The cryptocurrency will be managed by the founding members: Facebook, more than two dozen different organizations and a separate Swiss fund.

Why libra?

What does the word libra mean?

Former PayPal CEO David Marcus, who runs the Facebook project, said something like this: "The Libra name for Libra was inspired by several reasons, namely the French word Freedom, the Roman dimension for weight, and the astrological sign of justice."

What would you like to know about the Facebook Libra cryptocurrency?

Technology giant Apple will release the iPhone 11 this coming September. If all kinds of rumors turn out to be true, then the multimedia phone can have the same design as the last two generations of the phone. Regarding the final design of the iPhone 11, we are ready to accept what Apple designers will offer. But, we can’t stop imagining what could have happened if technology allowed us to create any iPhone 11 design. And this is exactly what very talented designers do. This time, the beautiful concept of the iPhone 11 was created, which throws all the buttons in favor of the immersive curved screen of the phone.

Although it may be a beautiful looking phone, there is absolutely no chance that the concept will become a reality. In addition, the protection of such a phone with a case seems impossible, since by closing the screen space the case will take away some of its main functions. Imagine that if such a phone accidentally fell to the ground, the cost of repairing a curved screen would be higher for the user than with the classic version of the screen.

We hope that the new iPhone 11 will have a bright screen under the sun.

It is expected that in the lineup of iPhone 11 in 2019, three models will appear, as last year. Perhaps there will be two OLED phones and one with an LCD screen. IPhone 11 and 11 Max models can have a variety of OLED screens, as well as have screen sizes of 5.8 and 6.5 inches, respectively. Perhaps the iPhone 11R model will be equipped with an LCD display to reduce the price to a minimum.

It is also expected that the new versions of the iPhone 11 and 11 Max will have a triple camera configuration, while the version of the iPhone 11R is expected to be equipped with a dual camera. In essence, this means that on all three mobile phones, an additional camera may appear on the back.

It is assumed that the front of the iPhone 11 line will remain the same, and there will be no difference in the size of the notch. However, recent reports have argued that there may be improved face identification that can authenticate the user from some sharp angles.

Video review of the iPhone 11 concept with an innovative, curved screen on the side:

According to the creator of this video, the new frameless iPhone 11 could have the technical specifications:

6.4-inch full-screen display;
  - Hidden front 13MP camera;
  - Four cameras, 8K @ 120 FPS;
  - New Apple operating system, iOS 13;
  - Apple A13 Bionic mobile chip (up to eight 8 times faster than A12 Bionic chip).

WWDC is Apple’s large-scale developer event. During this event, Apple tells developers and interested visitors about new versions of MacOS and iOS operating systems, its latest development tools, and about its latest applications, devices. He talks about plans to stimulate further development, about new partnerships with developers and other details that she is working on. It so happens that attending the Apple WWDC 2019 IT Conference is an ideal chance to be the first to know and see what new applications will be for iOS and MacOS systems and not only.

Electronics manufacturer Cooler Master has a number of hardware products, such as keyboards, power supplies, headsets, computer cases (PCs), mice, and, of course, coolers. Each of its products has been specifically designed based on community feedback. Including keyboards. Cooler Master even had a Kickstarter project - an analog keyboard with pressure-sensitive keys called the ContolPad. With that said, let's take a closer look at what can make the new Cooler Master SK621 keyboard special for the user.

Keyboard News: Overview The Cooler Master SK621 is a mechanical wireless keyboard with a separate wired option.

The first thing that is noticeable in the review is the ability to conveniently pair the wireless keyboard with three different devices. Connecting a device is as simple as holding down the function button and Z, X or C. Thanks to this feature, it’s very easy to switch from using your phone to your computer. Turning on your Cooler Master SK621 keyboard is also easy. Either connect it via a USB Type-C cable, or on the left side, activate a very simple switch to wireless mode.

You can display a wide variety of colors (shades) on any key, adjust lighting modes, or customize macros using the Cooler Master software.

When using SK621 for the first time, it is recommended to connect to a computer via USB Type-C and install the Cooler master portal. This will allow you to control various lighting effects and wireless keyboard settings. It is possible to create predefined profiles, which simplifies switching between profiles when using elements. You can also adjust the lighting effects using the controls, but the above mentioned portal is more convenient for the user. Wireless keyboard setup is very easy to use and has many combinations. There are options - adjusting the speed, direction and brightness of the keyboard backlight effects.

Macros can also be programmed. It is also worth adding that all functions, such as RGB-backlight, macros and controls are also available when using SK621 via Bluetooth connection. The battery life of the wireless keyboard is also impressive. It may take a couple of full working days before the indicator turns red, indicating that the battery is low. Charging the SK621 wireless keyboard is also easy. Just plug in your keyboard via USB Type-C. The keyboard can still be used as a wired keyboard while the cable charges the keyboard battery.

The keyboard case is made of polished aluminum, which makes it lightweight, durable and provides an excellent appearance. There is also a pleasant smooth accent around the edge of the aluminum, which adds a touch of elegance. The keys are made of plastic and do not have a special texture.

The low-profile Cherry MX keys are quiet enough for office use. The key switches are incredibly sensitive, and using the Cooler Master SK621 wireless keyboard requires some practice. This is because the keys record keystrokes to the nearest millimeter or less.

Keyboard SK621 is designed compact, it is quite portable. A nice addition is a velvet bag. It is definitely made for gaming thanks to the Cherry MX keys, but it's easy to use for work.

The Cooler Master SK621 does everything it is designed for. However, the keys are great for games, but too sensitive for typing. Plastic keys are also prone to oil stains on the fingers, so eating during the game can be difficult. Perhaps if the keys had some kind of oil-resistant coating or more texture, the oil prints would not be so pronounced.

Features of the wireless keyboard Cooler Master SK621:

Brushed aluminum case design;

A flat brushed aluminum keyboard top panel, floating keycaps, and a slim, minimalist body design.

Color backlighting of the keyboard (RGB LEDs);

Individual key illumination by LEDs and the surrounding LED ring with the possibility of individual customization.

It can be said that this wireless mini keyboard has a unique design for maximum portability.

Easy to use software.

Low profile Cherry MX keys;

The reduced travel distance and the trigger point function with the same durability and accuracy (according to the manufacturer of the wireless keyboard).

Available controls;

In real time, you can adjust the keyboard backlight and macros without the need for software.

Cooler Master SK621 Wireless Keyboard Summary:

In general, Cooler Master, the manufacturer of electrical equipment and keyboards, has exceeded all expectations. This is especially impressive because it can make a really interesting wireless keyboard. Model SK621 has many lighting effects and individual settings, has a compact design and lots of user-friendly features. Using the SK621 at work and then returning it home for gaming can make the gadget your favorite wireless keyboard for a price of almost $ 200.

Zurich's Swiss Higher Technical School (ETH Zurich) has unveiled the details of Concrete Choreography, an installation recently opened in Riom, Switzerland. The innovative installation represents the first 3D-printed concrete stage built by the robot, consisting of columns made without formwork and printed using 3D printing technology at full height in 2.5 hours. It is expected that this process will significantly increase the efficiency of concrete structures while achieving the manufacture of complex materials components and building robots.

In the Swiss Riom, nine columns with a height of 2.7 meters are installed at the Origen festival. Each column is printed in concrete in 3D. The new columns were individually designed using special software and manufactured using the new automated 3D printing process of concrete, developed by the ETH Zurich team with support from NCCR DFAB.

3D printing of concrete like this

Graduate students in digital manufacturing and architecture are exploring the unique potential of multi-layer extrusion printing, demonstrating the potential of computer-aided design and digital manufacturing for future concrete construction. Perhaps in the construction industry, this process will become more ecological in the future if they develop new eco-friendly concrete for 3D printing.

Video review 3D printing of concrete: Concrete choreography.

Here's how 3D printing made of concrete works quickly and easily.

3D printing of houses, concrete buildings is a perspective for construction.

Hollow concrete structures are printed for the strategic use of materials, which provides a more sustainable approach to a specific architecture. In addition, the calculated material structure and surface textures are an example of versatility and the significant aesthetic potential of 3D printing with concrete when used in large-scale structures.

The new review will be about printing on a 3D printer with metal.

It is worth noting that there is a technology that would carry out 3D printing with metal. This is also a promising direction for construction, but for this, other materials are used (for example, powder), programs and other types of printers (which we will talk about soon).

What color is your mobile phone? Is it black, red, white, gold or blue? Most likely, the back of your phone has some one-color option, which you will find in the coloring kit for beginners. Most phone manufacturers took too much time to realize that the colors of the phones are really important for customers, and only recently they began to give mobile phones not only a rarely used color, but fancy shades such as coral red or canary color.

Unsurprisingly, most people don't mind hiding the back of their phones behind an opaque plastic case. In cases, the user can choose the right color for the phone case to give the mobile a little personality. But the new Thai phones of the Honor 20 Pro and Honor 20 series are the first smartphones in the world with a three-dimensional dynamic holographic design, and their reflective appearance can become the new industry standard.

3D color holography for the phone case.

In order to achieve a flickering optical illusion, the Honor manufacturer has developed its Honor 20 model with a deep layer containing millions of flickering microscopic prisms, and on top of this is the so-called layer of curved 3D glass. The combination of these technologies makes the light "play and dance" on the back of the phone when the user turns it in different directions.

Two colors for the Honor 20 phone can be found under these dynamic layers, these are Midnight Black and Sapphire Blue. Unlike new-fangled phrases for some phone colors, the Honor mobile has color gradients for phones that really cause the effect of a flickering night sky or a flickering gem.

Although the color options of the cases sound exciting, with the Chinese phone Honor 20 Pro you can go even further. This upgraded model contains the proprietary Triple 3D Mesh containing three layers. Instead of just painting the back cover of the phone itself, this time with a body color layer, located between the outer 3D layer and the inner depth layer. According to the handset manufacturer, this makes color shift effects much more dynamic.

The Honor 20 Pro mobile phone is actively sold in two colors, such as phantom black (Phantom Black) and phantom blue (Phantom Blue). Although the names of these phone colors are not so metaphorical, you should not think that their back panels are less dynamic.

Honor's obsession with choosing the right colors may seem overly dramatic, but in the UK, for example, a survey of hundreds of Britons found that forty-nine percent of them consider color when choosing a phone to buy.

What is the sale of a phone with a changing color scheme for?

Choosing a mobile phone, as Honor designer Jun-Su Kim put it, is “Extending a person’s life.” In fact, Honor claims that customer identity cannot be embraced by one unchanging color.

History of the creation of Honor color phones.

The Honor 20 model shows the natural evolution of the company's experiments with dynamic color in the design of the phone. With the Honor 8 model, the trend of a 2.5D multi-layer back wall has begun, which creates a 3D grille effect. Then the version of Honor 9 turned into a phone with a curved 3D glass, echoes of which can already be found in the model Honor 20. Well, last year the model Honor 10 was equipped with a rear window "Aurora", which reflected colors from all sides.

What is the screen like on a Honor phone?

Honor's design innovations are not limited to the color of the phone. Pay attention to the location of the Honor 20 camera. Instead of cropping the screen to make room for a “selfie” camera. The phone manufacturer cut a hole with a diameter of 4.5 mm in the upper left corner of the screen, thereby leaving more screen space for the user's needs.

Camera with artificial intelligence or AI camera in the phone.

According to the description of the phone, it is worth noting that on the back of the device, the Honor 20 AI camera has four lenses and is located, so that there would be more space for a battery with a large amount of memory. But most importantly, it turns out a 48-megapixel camera that uses the Kirin 980 AI microchip to take DSLR level photos and improve photos.

Summary of Honor phone color.

To summarize, phone descriptions, technical compatibility, and cutting-edge hardware innovations are what usually draw attention to Chinese Honor phones. But, in this case, the technology is almost overshadowed by the design of the case with a unique color, which may cause some users to not want to return to the simple two-dimensional colors of the phone case in the future.

There are still occasions for rumors about the release of the Google Pixel 4 mobile phone. A new set of information or forecasts comes from the leaked image on the Internet (3D rendering of colored cases), which is supposed to be related to the Google Pixel 4. There are often cases when users are following behind the topic of new products such images are missed. Meanwhile, for some analysts, the new picture helps make several assumptions not only about the color of the phone.

The new, unofficial, image of Google Pixel 4 gives rise to rumors about the color options of the mobile phone case.

Although the other image of the phone case itself does not seem to show more than what has already been discussed on the Internet earlier, the model that can be seen in the background of the photo is surprising because of the color. That mobile phone has a shade of purple that the Pixel did not have before.

No matter what the leak about the phone’s colors is true or false, it is safe to assume that this year the new Google Pixel 4 will definitely have an additional color. More interestingly, in the image, the physical buttons on the sides of the phones contrast with the color of the case. You can see the white, blue and yellow buttons that give the phone a funny look.

For some strange reason, all the images and leaks seen so far only displayed the back panel of the Google Pixel 4 smartphone. According to various sources, Google allegedly shared the rendering of the phone, and there was also a part that featured a square protrusion of the camera. A dual camera unit was visible.

Discussed photo leaks, including the image along with the covers, show the rear panel in different colors and a module with a camera. And what do you think is the best color for your phone?

About the specifications of the Google Pixel 4:

Obviously, the idea of \u200b\u200ba fingerprint scanner does not leave fans alone. Some want the phone to have either a face ID to unlock the phone, or a fingerprint scanner on the display, or both.

Some other aspects and specifications, such as the size of the phones and the overall thickness are 8.2 mm higher compared to the 7.9 mm that can be seen in the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, can be taken as close to reality.

There is speculation that the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL versions of the phone may look more like the “Apple iPhone 11,” which is scheduled to be released in a couple of months, in the fall. When, more precisely? The technology company Google has not yet announced the official release date for the Pixel 4, but various sources have hinted at the release of a new phone at the end of October.

Soon, we will talk about this in more detail, so stay tuned for news on new smartphones from Google.

The robot set a world record for assembling the Rubik's Cube. This robot was developed by students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Jared Di Carlo and Ben Katz, in a student laboratory. For comparison, the fastest human record is held by the Australian Felix Zemdegs, who in 2018 collected the Rubik's Cube in just 4.22 seconds. By the way, the original Rubik's Cube has 43 quintillion possible combinations for one solution. Watch the video with the robot champion below.

In the hearts of many people there is a special place for the Rubik's Cube. This is a good workout for intelligence. Many have loved or still love to play with this ingenious toy, and over the years there have been many contests, trials and variations for the solution to assemble the Rubik's Cube.

New Rubik's Cube assembly record 3x3x3.

For years, engineers and enthusiasts have used robots to build Rubik's Cubes. Previously, 10 seconds was considered a quick assembly, and by today's standards of the digital age - this time causes a smile.

The new record was only a matter of time when engineers and robotics began to solve the problem of creating a new robot. Back in 2016, the robot set a new record for assembling the Rubik's Cube in 0.637 seconds. But for some enthusiasts, this time was not fast enough.

More recently, two students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jared Di Carlo (a third-year student in electrical engineering and computer science) and Ben Katz (a graduate student in mechanical engineering), thought that they could assemble a faster robot that could solve a puzzle with a three-dimensional combination.

They watched videos of previous robots, and noticed that the robot engines were not the fastest that could be used to solve the problem. So we thought that they could achieve greater success with improved engines and controls.

How does the robot assemble the Rubik's Cube

Students installed an engine that drives every facet of the Rubik's Cube, controlled by electronics. Using a pair of webcams aimed at the cube, special software determines the initial state of each side of the cube (which colors are on which face of the cube at a given time). Then, based on the information received, using the existing software for assembling the Rubik's Cube, the robot solves puzzles using an algorithm.

What is the result of the work? Their robot collected the Rubik's Cube in 0.38 seconds! It is safe to say that not a single person is physically capable of breaking the record for this speed. You can add another achievement to the list of robots superior to humans.

There is a man who has the fastest world record for manual assembly, his name is Felix Zemdegs. He was able to collect the Rubik's Cube in 4.22 seconds. The skills and talents that supersede robots are vast and varied, to say the least. Not to mention the fact that robots can still surprise. Next video demonstration of the robot.

Video review of the Rubik's Cube assembly in 0.38 seconds:

So, hardware hackers, Ben Katz, together with Jared Di Carlo, broke the previous record for the robotic collection of the Rubik's Cube. Their robot solved the puzzle 40 percent faster than in the previous record.

Details about the robot champion

The robotic fixture was assembled from Kollmorgen ServoDisc U9 series engines, PlayStation Eye cameras (for scanning a cube), and of course, a Rubik's Cube was needed. According to the creators of the robot, “The entire software process takes about 45 milliseconds. Most of the time is spent waiting for the webcam driver and determining the colors on the sides of the Rubik's Cube.”

Artificial Intelligence Research Group Facebook Inc. unveiled a new robotics platform called PyRobot. This platform (framework) was developed in conjunction with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. PyRobot aims to help researchers and students in the field of artificial intelligence integrate deep learning models created using the PyTorch platform (this is a machine learning library for the Python programming language) with the robots that they create. The basic idea is that they can more easily create their robots using artificial intelligence skills such as natural language processing.

Facebook said it wants to foster long-term research in robotics to help develop embedded artificial intelligence systems that can learn more effectively through interactions with the physical world.

What is PyRobot today

PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level interface that provides hardware-independent APIs for robotic manipulation and navigation. The PyRobot repository also contains a low-level stack for LoCoBot, an inexpensive hardware platform for mobile manipulators (tools for building robots). Now artificial intelligence and machine learning is becoming more accessible to beginners in robotics.

Academic Supervisor Abinav Gupta and Saurabh Gupta, as a Facebook researcher, explained on their blog that: PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level interface on top of the robot's operating system. It provides a consistent set of mid-level hardware-independent APIs (application programming interfaces) for controlling various robots. PyRobot ignores details about low-level controllers and interprocess communication, so machine learning specialists and others can simply focus on creating high-level robotics applications with AI (artificial intelligence).

A Facebook source also reports that PyRobot has dozens of potential applications, for example, helping researchers share data and set landmarks and build on each other's work. The company has requested proposals from the wider AI research community on how to democratize robotics with LoCoBot and PyRobot, which are hardware specifications, and tools for creating low-cost robots.

PyRobot uses an API to abstract functions that robots should use. Perform tasks such as kinematics, trajectory planning, position, speed, and torque control for joints, as well as visual simultaneous localization and mapping. PyRobot comes with a number of pre-trained deep learning models that allow robots to navigate, capture objects, and so on.

This means that developers can program their robots using just a few lines of Python code, Facebook says.

Facebook researchers also say that: The cost of hardware and the complexity of specialized software limit the scope of research in the field of robotics. With lower barriers to entry, researchers can, for example, create several robots that collect data and learn in parallel. Providing a common platform for various equipment. PyRobot will lead to the development of tests in robotics, similar to other areas in AI, and quantify the pace of progress of robotics with artificial intelligence.

Like Amazon's RoboMaker, PyRobot acts as an interface on top of the Robot Operating System (ROS), expanding the infrastructure. In May, Microsoft, a technology company, released a robotics toolkit with limited previews, and last year integrated the ROS platform in Windows 10.

Ming-Chi Kuo, the famous analyst and author of forecasts for Apple smartphones, can certainly be the most reliable source of leaks and information about Apple products. And today, he released a new research report received by Mac Rumors, where he mentions the future of the iPhone and when can we expect that Apple will finally switch to smartphones with support for 5G (fifth generation mobile communications).

When Apple was still planning on using Intel modems in its iPhone, it was rumored that the iPhone 2020 phone model would be the first to receive 5G connectivity. However, since then, the apple company has switched from its modem provider to Qualcomm. For which they had to settle a long patent dispute with an American chip manufacturer, pay at least $ 4.5 billion and not use Intel modems. Perhaps Intel even closed its 5G development plans after this news.

Ming-Chi Kuo also said that all three iPhone models in 2020 will be presented in several colors and equipped with an OLED screen, unlike the LCD screen (LCD) in the current iPhone XR. However, this year, we are likely to still receive an iPhone XR update with an LCD, so if the OLED screen on your mobile phone is too important for you, maybe wait a year.

5G iPhone competitors:

Currently, our best competitors on the Android system are the following 5G phones:

1)   Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G (128 GB of memory, 6 GB of RAM and a battery with fast charging);

2)   OPPO Reno 5G (innovative design, affordable price, powerful camera);

3)   LG V50 ThinQ (1440 by 3120 pixels screen, memory expansion up to 1 TB, 4000 mAh battery);

4)   OnePlus 7 Pro 5G (frameless AMOLED-screen has no recesses and holes);

5)   ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G (48 megapixel camera, Snapdragon 855 chip).

Global sales of 5G phones.

Global deliveries to mobile stores supporting 5G technology (this is the fifth generation fast mobile communication) may be higher than market analysts expected. It is worth noting that some observers of the mobile market believe that such shipments are likely to reach 150-200 million units or more than a dozen percent of global shipments of 5G phones next year.

After many rumors in the news of the cryptocurrency market. On Tuesday, Facebook’s plans for next year were unveiled, including the ambitious release of a new digital currency called Libra (or Libra). It will be managed by an association of corporate investors. Partners are Visa, Mercado Pago, PayPal, Mastercard and Stripe. The technology companies Uber, eBay, Spotify and Lyft are joining the project. European telecommunications companies Vodafone and Iliad are also participating in a new project. Investors are Union Square Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, plus the academic, non-profit institutions Womens World Banking and Kiva.

Through their mobile applications, billions of people are expected to be able to make payments using cryptocurrencies from social media giant Facebook. The social network Facebook plans to officially launch the new Libra cryptocurrency project in 2020. Libra is a new type of digital money that targets billions of people using mobile apps and a social network.

To create a new digital wallet that will allow users of the Facebook application to store and exchange cryptocurrency. Facebook creates a new subsidiary Calibra.

Why is Facebook betting on a cryptocurrency called Libra? Perhaps the highest goal of the latest development is to go beyond social networks.

Digital wallets for storing, sending and spending Libra cryptocurrencies will be connected to messaging platforms.

Initially, the cryptocurrency will be available in the Facebook Messenger / WhatsApp application, and of course in separate applications for iOS or Android.

A Facebook press release said that: “Initially, Calibra will allow you to easily and instantly send Libra at a low price to almost anyone with a smartphone.”

It is also reported that: "Over time, additional services will be offered for enterprises and people. For example, buying a cup of coffee with a code scan, paying a bill with the click of a button, traveling by public transport without having to take cash."

Facebook cryptocurrency wallet security.

To increase the security of the new cryptocurrency, it will use the similar functions of verification and protection against fraud that are already used by credit cards and banks. The cryptocurrency service Facebook will have user support. And in case of gaining access to the user account of someone else, the promise of reimbursement of lost assets is promised.

Cryptocurrency coins will be stored by users in a digital wallet. But, the cryptocurrency world itself is not always stable! Time will tell if Facebook’s own digital money can help people save by sending and spending it as easily as texting.

The cryptocurrency will be managed by the founding members: Facebook, more than two dozen different organizations and a separate Swiss fund.

Why libra?

What does the word libra mean?

Former PayPal CEO David Marcus, who runs the Facebook project, said something like this: "The Libra name for Libra was inspired by several reasons, namely the French word Freedom, the Roman dimension for weight, and the astrological sign of justice."

What would you like to know about the Facebook Libra cryptocurrency?

Technology giant Apple will release the iPhone 11 this coming September. If all kinds of rumors turn out to be true, then the multimedia phone can have the same design as the last two generations of the phone. Regarding the final design of the iPhone 11, we are ready to accept what Apple designers will offer. But, we can’t stop imagining what could have happened if technology allowed us to create any iPhone 11 design. And this is exactly what very talented designers do. This time, the beautiful concept of the iPhone 11 was created, which throws all the buttons in favor of the immersive curved screen of the phone.

Although it may be a beautiful looking phone, there is absolutely no chance that the concept will become a reality. In addition, the protection of such a phone with a case seems impossible, since by closing the screen space the case will take away some of its main functions. Imagine that if such a phone accidentally fell to the ground, the cost of repairing a curved screen would be higher for the user than with the classic version of the screen.

We hope that the new iPhone 11 will have a bright screen under the sun.

It is expected that in the lineup of iPhone 11 in 2019, three models will appear, as last year. Perhaps there will be two OLED phones and one with an LCD screen. IPhone 11 and 11 Max models can have a variety of OLED screens, as well as have screen sizes of 5.8 and 6.5 inches, respectively. Perhaps the iPhone 11R model will be equipped with an LCD display to reduce the price to a minimum.

It is also expected that the new versions of the iPhone 11 and 11 Max will have a triple camera configuration, while the version of the iPhone 11R is expected to be equipped with a dual camera. In essence, this means that on all three mobile phones, an additional camera may appear on the back.

It is assumed that the front of the iPhone 11 line will remain the same, and there will be no difference in the size of the notch. However, recent reports have argued that there may be improved face identification that can authenticate the user from some sharp angles.

Video review of the iPhone 11 concept with an innovative, curved screen on the side:

According to the creator of this video, the new frameless iPhone 11 could have the technical specifications:

6.4-inch full-screen display;
  - Hidden front 13MP camera;
  - Four cameras, 8K @ 120 FPS;
  - New Apple operating system, iOS 13;
  - Apple A13 Bionic mobile chip (up to eight 8 times faster than A12 Bionic chip).

WWDC is Apple’s large-scale developer event. During this event, Apple tells developers and interested visitors about new versions of MacOS and iOS operating systems, its latest development tools, and about its latest applications, devices. He talks about plans to stimulate further development, about new partnerships with developers and other details that she is working on. It so happens that attending the Apple WWDC 2019 IT Conference is an ideal chance to be the first to know and see what new applications will be for iOS and MacOS systems and not only.

Quite often, the owners of “apple” smartphones turn to me complaining that the speaker of the iPhone has become quieter, the interlocutor has become hard to hear and I have to strain my hearing significantly. In a noisy street, it begins to terribly annoying. Skeptics immediately begin to scold Apple and iPhone, complaining about the Chinese assembly and the high cost. In fact, in most cases, the reasons that the iPhone has become a quiet speaker and a dull sound lie not in the device itself, but in its accessories. But first things first!

So, if for no reason, the iPhone speaker began to work quietly, start by simply restarting it. After that, call one of your friends and during the conversation, drive the speaker volume with the buttons from the minimum to the maximum and back several times. This helps in cases where sound problems are associated with a simple malfunction of the device.

The second, quite common case is a crookedly pasted protective film or glass.

But here, as a rule, the problem pops up right after you pasted the protective accessory on the device. Accordingly, you need to re-stick the film or glass correctly and everything will be fine.

It also happens that the iPhone became quieter because of the cover, which eventually deformed and partially covered the speaker. Again, checking this is quite simple - just remove the cover and make a call.

IPhone speaker cleaning

Now we will consider a more serious case when the iPhone has a dull sound and the interlocutor is hard to hear at maximum volume due to speaker pollution. This can be various small debris from a pocket or bag, some sweet or viscous liquids accidentally spilled on the phone, or ordinary dirt. To clean the iPhone speaker, you need a hard brush or a toothbrush and alcohol.

First you need to moisten the pile with alcohol and squeeze it properly so that it is moist, but not wet. Roughly speaking, our task is to prevent alcohol from getting inside the smartphone during the cleaning process. The best option is to draw a pile of paper several times. After that, with careful movements, we try to clean the iPhone speaker grid.

Note:   The main speaker of the iPhone can also be brushed perfectly with a toothbrush. The only condition is to use it already without alcohol. The fact is that its openings are much larger and alcohol can get inside the device.

Phone hardware malfunction

Unfortunately, iPhones also break, which means that the speaker can fail. How can this be checked? Simple enough. Here are two ways.

First, use headphones. In this case, through them there will be excellent audibility, and the speaker of the iPhone will be still deaf.

If it turns out that the iPhone has become quieter due to the speaker breaking down, then the only solution is to carry it to the service.
