The newest Beats member shows the direction of Apple for its two line of headphones. Studio Buds are cheaper and more compatible than AirPods. It can be charged via the universal USB C connection instead of the proprietary Lightning charging port. It also has its own Android app for those outside the iOS ecosystem. If AirPods are intended to complement and enhance the experience of using iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Beats products are aimed at a larger, more diverse market. Apple wants to turn AirPods into a more premium product when it introduces the AirPods Max hooded headset, equipped with the Spatial Audio feature to increase the difference. Beats Studio Buds allows Android users to see the exact amount of battery on each headset as well as the included charging case. The headset can also be controlled using the Google Assistant. The accessory’s minimalist design also marks a change for Apple. According to testing by Bloomberg, the compact design of the headset makes it comfortable to wear for a long time. It has a noise reduction mode, which is not too effective when listening on a noisy street, but also supports the user experience. The headset battery lasts 8 hours on a single charge, but only when noise cancellation is not activated. Beats Studio Buds for ordering now and starting to ship from June 24. The headset has three colors red, black and white, priced at 3.44 million. Du Lam (According to Bloomberg)

According to DigiTimes, Apple has been increasing the pressure on suppliers for camera lens components. This causes orders to be expected to outpace the entire Android market. (Photo: DrTech / YouTube) Apple is said to have informed the companies responsible for the production of voice coil motors (VCMs – Voice Coil Motor) to increase their capacity. According to the report, Apple has asked related component suppliers to increase capacity by 30-40% to meet their demand. (Photo: EverythingApplePro) Sources have told DigiTimes that there will be significant upgrades in the iPhone 13’s photography technology, including Face ID’s 3D sensor and camera modules. At the same time, demand from Android manufacturers is said to have decreased, especially as US sanctions are still being applied to Huawei devices, also helping the new generation of iPhones benefit in terms of power. supply VCM components. (Photo: Apple Tomorrow / Twitter) For those who don’t know, VCM is an important component used in sensor focus setup. It is expected that shipments for iPhone will surpass in the second half of the year, as all new iPhones will be equipped with sensor anti-shake technology – which was only available on the iPhone 12 Pro Max version released last year. (Photo: AppleTrack) Recently, a report from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives also suggested that all iPhone 13 models will have LiDAR sensors on the back, including standard non-Pro versions like the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 series. Pro Max last year.

This malicious application is called Mods Minecraft. The app doesn’t function like an ad at all, instead it turns the victim’s smartphone and tablet into an ad-player in an extremely sophisticated way. (Photo: Kaspersky) Accordingly, after the first run, the application will hide its icons from the screen and continuously open the browser to display ads. The app can also play videos from YouTube, access the Google Play app store, and more. Security experts at Kaspersky found that the app opens the browser every two minutes, rendering the device essentially inoperable. use to be. (Photo: Kaspersky) What’s especially worrisome is that it’s hard for users to know what’s going on with their devices, which apps are responsible for the trouble, and how to prevent it. The security experts at Kaspersky informed Google of their findings and the malicious app was quickly removed from the store. Minecraft is one of the best-selling games in the world with about 180 million copies worldwide. (Photo: Mojang) However, removing this app from Google’s app store does not mean the removal of all malware. In the past, developers of this type would simply upload new, slightly modified versions, using different names, from different developer accounts to further trick victims. An example can be mentioned is the VK Music Trojan. This app stole VK user accounts, but despite being reported, the app has survived on the Google Play app store for several years. (Artwork: Unsplash) Kaspersky ran a search for malicious Minecraft Mods-like apps – and found a few. In addition to the malicious application Mods Minecraft, a utility called File Recovery was also found to contain malware in version 1.1. However, that version has since been removed and version 1.1.1 of the app, available on Google Play, is safe.

(Artwork: Presse-citron) Specifically, the Teabot (or Anatsa) malware, which can allow hackers to take over the victim’s Android device completely; steal their banking and other important personal information through tools like keyloggers. The analysis report from Bitdefender researchers said that Teabot malware can perform attacks through Android Accessibility Services, view private messages, steal banking information, steal authentication codes. of Google,… and even take full remote control of the victim’s devices. (Artwork: Unsplash) Distributing malware directly from app stores would be difficult, so hackers use the method of impersonating top-rated apps distributed on third-party websites. . According to research by Bitdefender, fake Android apps include antivirus, media player, health, etc. To deceive users, the fake app’s name and logo will be copied. copy almost or exactly like the real application. (Artwork: Panda Security) Here are 6 malicious apps impersonating famous apps to scam users. If you are using Android devices, please check all the applications on the device. In case your phone has 1 of the 6 applications below, quickly remove them immediately. The main app icon (right) and the fake app (left) have some differences in the 5th and 6th apps. (Image: Bitdefender) Bitdefender emphasizes that the campaign against these malicious applications is still active. For this reason, Android users need to be careful about downloading apps, especially apps from third parties, that aren’t part of the Google app market; Don’t click on strange links and always look carefully at the permission requests of Android apps.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS. Huawei launched HarmonyOS in 2019 after the US put the company on a “blacklist” and did not have access to Google’s Android operating system. This embargo, along with Washington’s ban on access to key semiconductors, has crippled Huawei’s smartphone business, just months after becoming the world’s number one smartphone maker. Developed since 2016, HarmonyOS can work on many of Huawei’s internet-connected devices, from smartphones to wearables. This operating system allows developers to easily build apps to work on a variety of devices. According to Huawei, version 2.0 of HarmonyOS has many interesting features such as Mirror Mode, Extended Mode and Collaboration Mode. Currently, the two most powerful operating systems in the world are still calling Android and iOS, other operating systems from Blackberry, Microsoft’s Windows Phone and Amazon Fire devices currently only account for a very small market share. To help its operating system grow, experts say Huawei’s biggest challenge is software applications, with the company having to convince software developers to reprogram its apps and other content. to operate on HarmonyOS operating system, through which consumers will continue to buy Huawei phones. As planned, right in the third quarter of this year, Huawei aims to be able to release HarmonyOS 2 for Nova 6/7/8, Mate 20 and all remaining MatePad tablets. The company is also expected to install this new operating system on V and S series smart displays, M6 tablets and Mate 20 X phones before 2021 ends. In the first half of 2022, Huawei will bring HarmonyOS 2 to Mate 9, Mate 10, P20, P10 and Nova 5 phones.

A Huawei store at a mall in Shanghai, China. Photo: AFP/VNA In a short video posted on social networks, Huawei said that the HarmonyOS operating system will be officially put into use from June 2. At the same time, the company’s internal announcement said that Huawei CEO and founder Ren Zhengfei (Ren Zhengfei) announced major investment strategies in the software sector. HarmonyOS operating system was released by the Chinese telecommunications “giant” on August 9, 2019, in the context that this corporation faces the risk of losing access to Google’s Android operating system due to one of consequences of trade tensions between China and the US. According to the announcement, Harmony OS will be applied on a series of smart devices, including wearable technology devices. HarmonyOS also enables artificial intelligence (AI) compatibility and can also be used on personal computers and other devices. Huawei has been developing the operating system since 9 years ago, but information about this platform only appeared after the US put this company on a banned list in mid-May 2019, thereby blocking the access of the Chinese corporation. Nation for from chip to Android operating system. Every year millions of Huawei smartphones are installed. Therefore, the introduction of HarmonyOS plays an important role in the future of smartphone production activities of the Chinese technology group. Huawei’s rollout of its own operating system comes amid a slump in smartphone sales and overall revenue for China’s top technology group since last year when US sanctions took effect.

The reaction comes after the New York Times revealed about the special relationship between Apple and China. Accordingly, Apple is accused of being a tool to help the Chinese government “monitor and censor user data”. Telegram “father” believes that Apple is selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price. In addition, the billionaire also criticized Apple’s business model and said that the company is “selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price to customers and locking them in the ecosystem of Apple. the firm”. “Every time I have to use the app on my iPhone, I feel like I have to go back to the Middle Ages. The 60 Hz screen of the iPhone offers an experience that is not as good as the 120 Hz screens on many Android smartphones today,” Durov shared. Not stopping there, the billionaire also added that outdated hardware is not the real problem of iPhones. The worst thing Apple is doing is not allowing users to install apps from sources other than the App Store. At the same time, users cannot use services other than iCloud to back up the device. In the past, the “father” of Telegram and Apple had many conflicts. In 2018, Apple removed the Telegram app from the App Store due to concerns about child pornography on the platform. In July 2020, Telegram accused Apple of monopolizing the European Commission. Most recently, in mid-January, Apple was sued by a non-profit organization called “Coalition for a Safer Web” for not removing Telegram, accusing it of being used by hate groups and extremists. use. According to VTV

Recently, the shocking investigation of New York Times shows that Apple has tacit agreements and about data sharing in China. Taking the opportunity, Durov commented on his Telegram channel that Apple was operating under the direction of China. Telegram was once blocked in Russia because the government believed that terrorists used the app to plan and coordinate terrorist attacks. Photo: Caspiannews. Durov also said that Apple’s business model is based on “selling outdated, expensive hardware to customers in this company’s ecosystem”. He added that the 60 Hz screen of the iPhone cannot compete with the 120 Hz products of Android phones and iOS is an outdated software. According to Durov, the worst part is that iPhone users are seen as the company’s “digital slaves”. Specifically, they are only allowed to install apps from the App Store and back up data on iCloud. “It’s no surprise that Apple’s authoritarian approach is appreciated by China, allowing the country to have full control over the apps and data of all its citizens,” Durov said. Ironically, Apple was sued earlier this year for allowing Telegram to work on the App Store. According to the Coalition for a Safer Web (CSW), the app is used by opposition groups and extremists as a communication channel to spread misinformation and racial divisions in the US and Europe. .

The Microsoft Office app for Android is now getting a dark mode soon. Photo: Google However, at the time of launch of the integrated Microsoft Office application, there was no dark mode for devices running the Android operating system. Many users have complained and asked Microsoft to add dark mode in Office applications. This feature will help them edit documents without the glare of the device’s blue light affecting their eyes. Recognizing user feedback and realizing the lack of updating dark mode for Android operating system, after more than 1 year of development this mode is now available to Android users in an update Upcoming. Android users with the latest version of Office apps will automatically adjust to dark mode if the device is already set to that option. In addition, users can also enable or disable dark mode by touching the profile icon on the home tab in the Office application. Then select the settings and choose light, dark or the system default to customize the theme. Microsoft product manager Sourab Nagpal said this is a feature that has been requested by many customers. This mode is well-received by many people because it provides comfort when reading documents and working on mobile devices. Microsoft says it will roll out dark mode for Office on Android in the coming weeks, so it may not be available to all users right away. Dark mode was updated by Micorosoft for iOS operating system last year along with the release of integrated Office. Devices like iPhone, iPad can read documents using Office applications comfortably just like Twitter, Facebook or WhatsApp experience with a dark color adaptive interface.

High-end Android devices are less likely to fall into this situation. However, with users of mid-range and low-cost products, there have been many complaints about Google’s operating system. Part of that is because Google’s operating system consumes a lot of hardware power when operating. (Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales & Vjeran Pavic / The Verge) Known for running lots of apps in the background, Android often has higher hardware requirements than iOS for it to function properly. Over the past 10 years, smartphone hardware has seen a major change. For example, RAM has gone from 2-3GB to 8-12 and even 16-18GB on some high-end gaming phones like the ROG Phone. Chips on Android smartphones are already on par with Apple’s flagship chips. As a result, performance has been greatly improved. (Photo: James Martin / CNET) With the recently introduced Android 12, Google shows that improvements in hardware are not enough, the company has finally started to pay attention to other aspects of “smoothness” – software. Accordingly, Google has begun to pay more attention to the management and distribution of system performance on Android 12, to provide a smoother experience for users, especially on mid-range and low-end smartphones. (Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales & Vjeran Pavic / The Verge) The newly released Android 12 is said to have the ability to more closely manage background processes such as Android System Server, Activity Window and Package Manager. These background processes often “work together” and this makes it impossible for low-cost, mid-range devices with limited hardware to run as smoothly as users want. (Photo: 9to5Google) This is not a “feature” that can be turned on/off by the user. Google promises they will improve background processes to make your phone run smoother, more responsive. Animations are now less jittery, and improve the gesture navigation system, which is far less efficient than it was on the iPhone. (Photo: Presse-citron) Coupled with increasingly powerful chipsets from Qualcomm, and displays with high refresh rates, Android devices will feel faster and faster.

Illustration. (Source: AFP/VNA) Italy’s antitrust agency said on May 13 that it had fined Google more than 100 million euros ($120 million) for abusing its market position by removing an app. smartphone of the opponent. In a statement, Italy’s antitrust agency said it had found Google – whose Android operating system and the Google Play app store dominates the Italian market – blocking an Enel X application for users. tram . The agency requires Google to include the Enel X application in Android Auto – a smart connection system that makes it easier and safer for car occupants to use phone features. The statement stated that a fine of 102,084,433.91 euros was imposed due to Google violates article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (EU) with respect to monopoly control and matters related to restriction of competition. Italy discovered that Google had not allowed Enel X Italia to develop a version of the JuicePass app compatible with Android Auto. The JuicePass app provides services related to vehicle charging, such as finding the nearest charging station and keeping a spot at that charging station. According to the Italian antitrust agency , by not integrating the Enel X Italia app into Android Auto, Google unfairly restricted users’ access to the Enel X Italia app when they were driving and charging the vehicle. The agency stated that Google’s above action has continued for more than two years and if it continues, this could deprive the Enel X Italia of the opportunity to build a large number of users amid rising electric car sales strong. As a result, the Italian antitrust authority asked Google to include Enel X Italia and other application developers’ application programming tools in Android Auto, and the agency would monitor Google’s compliance through an independent expert with whom Google is obligated to cooperate.

Photo: Sina Technology According to CNBC, Apple today released a report on its App Store-related data, mainly describing the work the App Store has done in the direction of security and fraud prevention over the past year, and published a lot of related data. This is the first time Apple publishes such data, in this report, Apple does not point out what they bring to developers and users, but what they refuse to ensure safety and experience. App Store experience. Denied 1 million applications Since its inception in 2008, the Apple App Store has become the world’s largest distribution channel and app download platform. According to official data, up to now, there are a total of 1.8 million apps distributed on the app store in 175 different countries and regions around the world. In addition to the quantity, quality and safety of the App Store are also important reasons for many to choose, and even the reason why users switch from Android to iPhone. But the average user rarely thinks behind millions of apps is Apple’s attempt to secure apps on the platform. In fact, security threats have existed since the App Store was launched in 2008, and are becoming more sophisticated as the App Store has grown. Of course, Apple is also working to raise and improve its own security standards. In order for high-quality apps to be listed on the App Store and for developers and users to have the best experience, behind that is the efforts of the Apple App Store review team, including machines (the program AI detects), but Apple believes humans are the last line of defense. On the one hand, the review team develops relevant guidelines and is constantly updating to measure if an app meets Apple’s security standards at launch. On the other hand, many developers have encountered the case of having to submit apps multiple times before they hit the shelves, behind this being the tight scrutiny of Apple’s review team. The reason may be because their application is incomplete / not good enough or not satisfied Apple with the security requirements. In 2020, Apple’s app review team supported 180,000 new developers to bring their work to the App Store for the first time; However, due to the stringent app store rating criteria, many applications were rejected. According to Apple’s disclosure, they rejected 1 million new apps and 1 million app update requests last year. Let’s take a closer look at the apps that were denied on the list, partly because of a breach; There were also 215,000 applications rejected for asking for too much user data on mobile phones; 48,000 apps were rejected because they contained hidden functions, 150,000 apps were rated as spam or otherwise copied apps. All will affect the quality of the apps in the App Store in varying degrees, thereby affecting the user experience. These numbers represent Apple’s ambition to pursue its own high-quality app store and ecosystem, and is also the reason why many Android users “admire” the iOS ecosystem as mentioned above. . “Stone” 470,000 toxic developers Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at the San Jose Convention Center in 2018. In addition to denying apps, Apple sometimes punishes developers for violating the rules. For example, some developers intentionally change application functionality after passing a review or even engaging in criminals / crimes. The most common are gambling-related apps, illegal lending, and pornography; there are even apps for drug trafficking, sex chat, and more. According to Apple data, by 2020, about 95,000 apps will be removed from the App Store due to fraud and fraud. If a developer’s violation is severe or recurring, their account will be permanently closed. In 2020, Apple terminated 470,000 developer accounts because of the risk of fraud. In the past month alone, Apple blocked more than 3.2 million app installs through the Apple Developer Enterprise Program. The original purpose of this project was to allow large organizations like companies and businesses to develop apps for internal use only, not open to the public. But some people use this approach to “bypass” the internal application review and abuse process. Of course, no matter how tight the controls are, it’s inevitable that there are up to 1.8 million apps on the App Store. Apple has also opened up a feedback mechanism, users or developers can choose to “report a problem” function in the App Store or call Apple support. Stop $ 1.5 billion in fraud suspected transactions Problem security of Android is often compared with Apple. Since the Apple ID is tied to the payment account and is the “key” of the Apple ecosystem, it is also very easy to become a target for criminals. As a result, Apple is building more secure payment technologies, such as Apple Pay and StoreKit. Currently, more than 900,000 apps in the App Store are using these technologies to sell goods and services. For example, credit card information in Apple Pay won’t be shared with the merchant (and the merchant won’t see it), which eliminates risk factors in the checkout process. However, criminals can also use the App Store to purchase goods and services for money laundering or other improper purposes. According to official data, by 2020, Apple prevented more than 3 million stolen credit cards from being used to purchase goods or services through technical means + manual review. In addition, they block more than $ 1.5 billion in “potentially fraudulent transactions”. The revelation comes amid Epic Games’ antitrust lawsuit against Apple and focuses on the App Store failures. The Fortnite maker is looking to force Apple to remove 30% of the commission on in-app purchases. Epic lawyers have argued that Apple’s App Store is too “wall-bound,” hindering app makers from competing, and that Apple’s rules are unevenly applied to different developers. . The lawsuit filed by Epic Games calls for changes to the existing app review process and the use of other in-app payment systems. Epic also says Apple’s process is unfair, sometimes approving malware in the store. Apple employees argued in court that the number of errors it made was very small given the size of the App Store. Apple also strongly denies the abuse of market power, saying that the lawsuit Epic filed with is an “attack” on a business model that benefits developers as well as consumers. Apple has protected the App Store as an essential part of its business. Last week, an Apple lawyer argued that allowing users to install software from outside the App Store, like Android, creates a security risk and that Apple doesn’t want to be Android.

Xiaomi smartphone is loved by many users (Image: Android Authority) Xiaomi has been affirming itself as one of the top 5 smartphone manufacturers in the world. The latest market share reports show that the Chinese tech maker is second only to the two big names, Apple and Samsung. The Chinese manufacturer is known for its affordable and high-performance smartphones, along with an extremely large ecosystem. From rice cookers, air conditioners, TVs, and laptop computers to smartphone accessories and many other smart devices. You can even buy Xiaomi-branded nail clippers. Xiaomi started to emerge and became known by many when selling smartphones, but this was not the first product that Xiaomi launched. The first product is the MIUI operating system. Xiaomi launched the MIUI interface for Android in August 2010. It quickly caught the attention of developers, as an alternative to other custom ROMs at the time. The first MIUI version was based on Android 2.2 Froyo, designed for smartphones like Google Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Desire, Motorola Droid / Milestone and HTC HD2. At that time, Xiaomi did not produce its own smartphone so that it could introduce the MIUI operating system to users. Some of the outstanding features of MIUI compared to stock Android at that time were the ability to customize the lock screen, folders, theme support, the ability to uninstall apps from the home screen and the call / SMS blacklist. It can be seen that MIUI also draws a lot of inspiration from the iOS operating system. Xiaomi’s operating system is also very noticeable thanks to the development focused on the user community. It allows users to share ideas about what they want in subsequent MIUI versions. In 2011, Xiaomi launched its first smartphone, Mi 1. The smartphone has a simple design with a plastic outer shell, but inside it is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon S3 chip, with 1 GB RAm, capacity 4GB capacity and 1,930 mAh battery. This configuration is equivalent to the flagships at that time.

However, there is a much simpler, but not very popular, way: Switch your phone’s screen to grayscale. This way you get rid of all the vibrant colors on your phone, and it could be a lot more effective than you might think. (Photo: MacRumors) This procedure is based on the fact that the human brain is attracted to anything bright and colorful. According to a designer who worked for Google named Tristan Harris, when the phone screen is no longer colorful and eye-catching, users will no longer feel the urge to constantly use social networks. the games I love too. (Photo: CNET) If you also want to try this trick and are using an iPhone, all you need to do is go to the Settings app, then choose Accessibility> Display & Text Size> Color Filters. Here, turn on the Color Filters mode and the Grayscale mode will appear. On Android phones running Androdi 9.0 or higher, you can activate the same mode in the Quick Settings menu, select Pen in the bottom left corner of the screen, and select Grayscale.

This error has affected Apple’s iMessage messaging platform and social network What’sApp. Recently, a similar error has appeared on the social network Instagram, which can cause any iPhone model or even old Android smartphone models to be paralyzed when clicking a special Story. This Story may cause iPhone and Android models to freeze immediately after being clicked. (Photo: Mrwhosetheboss / YouTube) Accordingly, Story can cause iPhone and Android models to freeze immediately after clicking posted by an Instagram user called “pgtalal”. When the user clicks to view this Story, it will show up on a gray screen with random Arab words on it, immediately the smartphone will also freeze and cannot perform any task. (Photo: Mrwhosetheboss / YouTube) (Photo: Mrwhosetheboss / YouTube) At this point, the user can only restart the device for the device to work again. Arun Maini from Mrwhosetheboss went into the analysis of this particular Story of “pgtalal”, discovering that the user named “pgtalal” created the Story with two extremely large stickers inside, up to tens of millions of inches without What photo sharing platforms can support. That’s why older iPhone models as well as Android crashes. Oddly, though, the high-end Android models can still function properly after watching this Story. High-end Android models can still function normally after watching this Story. (Photo: Mrwhosetheboss / YouTube) Although Instagram does not allow users to post stories with giant stickers, but users “pgtalal” did some tricks with HTTP Proxy. This allows him to post giant stickers on Instagram’s servers. Because the sticker is very large, the iPhone and the majority of Android smartphones do not show this sticker, thereby causing the device to hang.

Previously, Google was sued by the Australian Competition and Consumers Commission (ACCC), accusing the company of illegally collecting user location data via Android phones in 2017 and 2018. into two specific Google settings that affected the location data collection, “location history” and “web and app activity”. Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, USA Photo: theonlinecitizen.com Google once stated that it only collects information from the location history feature on users’ devices from January 2017 to December 2018. However, when users enable browsing and application usage controls, Google also allows Google to collect, store and use this data by default. Google hasn’t told users that they need to turn both of these features off in order to stop the company from collecting data. The April 16 ruling of the Australian Federal Court sided with the ACCC, claiming that Google violated Australian consumer laws by collecting location history of some users even when they refused to share information. believe. However, Federal Court Judge Thomas Thawley only partially agreed to the ACCC’s anti-Google lawsuit, arguing that not all consumers were deceived by Google. In the past, there have been many studies around the world showing that location data is still collected through Android and iPhone devices, even after users believe they have not allowed this. Advertisers need these valuable data to find ways to drive location-related sales and services. However, the Australian Competition and Consumers Commission (ACCC), the body suing Google, affirms that the above ruling is the first legal action in the world on this issue. According to ACCC Chairman Rod Sims, this is a major win for consumers, especially those concerned about privacy online. The court’s decision sent a strong message to Google and other tech firms that big corporations must not deceive consumers. This decision, he stressed, is an important step towards ensuring digital platforms clearly inform consumers about the intended use of data and what they need to do to protect this information. Regarding the Australian Federal Court’s ruling, Google said that the company is considering many options, including the possibility of a complaint. According to Google, the company has provided tight controls on location data, such as the option to automatically delete location history, making it easier for users to control the data. According to the ABC News source, with this lawsuit, Google could face a penalty of up to $ 1.1 million per violation. However, this is not the first time that Google has been sued for unauthorized collection of user locations. Previous lawsuits have accused the tech giant of tracking users through location, browsing behavior, and even collecting personal information from children without parental consent. .. Google has spent millions of dollars in the US alone on privacy fines, but this is not worth considering the giant’s annual revenue.
