LiDAR scaner

What is a LiDAR scanner and what function does it perform on the iPhone 12?

What is the LiDAR scanner present on the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max?

With the new iPhone camera, Apple promises three things: photo and video effects, augmented reality, and scanning of objects and spaces. The last two go mainly to developers and businesses who are looking to create visual maps.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

But a general user will be satisfied with the photo and video effects. What is the LiDAR scanner present on the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max? Beyond its application in augmented reality, the LiDAR sensor works by emitting lasers that measure distances. On the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max Apple is using it to improve autofocus. The company says that as a result the autofocus is 6 times faster in low light compared to a normal camera. The LiDAR sensor also enables better quality portrait photos in low light conditions. The concept of using a dedicated depth sensor is not new.

Many phones use depth sensors to improve the quality of portrait photos and we can mention OnePlus Nord. But these sensors work mainly in light environments. Some models like the Huawei P30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra have a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor which uses infrared to read the field depth.

Both ToF and LiDAR scans the environment several meters away, but some versions of the latter measure the distances up to 100 meters. Usually, such sensors are used in cars. The advantage of the LiDAR scanner is that it sends small pulses of beam from one corner to the other to scan the environment. While ToF sends only one light pulse to measure space compromising accuracy.

Implementing a LiDAR sensor on the iPhone, developers will most likely be encouraged to find ways to use it primarily in augmented reality. Snapchat became the first app to launch lenses for the iOS app that uses LiDAR.

Smartphone Buying Guide

Smartphone Buying Guide: 6 Tips for Finding the Right Phone

With so many amazing flagships from Google, Samsung, and Apple, every brand is trying to get your attention. That’s why they have dozens of new models hitting the market, and right within your budget plan. That makes choosing the right smartphone that much harder. You will face challenges when you find more than one phone within your budget plan. That confuses you more as you don’t know which brand to choose or which model to take. It is true that the TCL 10L turkey is a nice choice, but before that or any other phone, you need to focus on six tips for finding the best phone.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

1. Go to Android for more choice and iOS for easy usability:

Apple does have some of the best smartphones, but those are restricted in choice. Android, on the other hand, comes with so many choices. Then you have iOS devices, which are super easy to use. So, if you are literally torn between Apple and Android phones, go for the first one if you need something easy to use. Here, you can get some of the best apps first and with some great software updates. But, if you have set your mind on a phone with more hardware choices and affordable options, Android is your key.

2. The camera’s MP is not a big of a deal:

Apart from checking out the battery life of the phone, you always tend to focus on the camera. Instead of focusing on the megapixel, which most people do, focus on other specifications like dual lenses, optical image stabilization, and aperture. You will receive top-notch quality products at cheaper rates, having these best camera features.

3. Set a budget and stick to it:

When you plan to get a new phone, you already have a budget set in your mind. Obviously, you will get more options when you visit a store, and some of them might be way over-budget. Don’t just shop like that and get a phone, which is crossing your budget plan. Even when premium Galaxy models from Android or an iPhone 8 will start around $700 and can hike up to $1500, there are some great cheaper options available below $500. So, try to give them a chance, and you may not get disappointed at all!

3. Focus on color brightness and quality over resolution:

4k screen is really a good choice but might prove to be a bit of overkill. So, your focus should be on how bright this display is going to be. So, when you use the phone outdoor, you might see how colorful the panels are. The latest models will present you with a higher dynamic range or HDR for helping you to see more colors than before.

5. The processor does not matter that much:

Previously, the processor was a big deal when it comes to smartphone purchases, but you can’t say the same now. Some of the mid-ranging smartphones even offer good performance to their users. However, if you want maximum power for augmented reality and games, then get an Android phone with Snapdragon 835 processor. When it comes to iPhones, then the model 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X have A11 Bionic processor. It is considered as the fastest mobile chip from the iOS department.

6. A perfect screen size:

If one-hand use is very important to you, then get a phone with a screen size 5.5 inches or smaller than that. On the other hand, if you are getting a phone to watch loads of videos or play games or even want to take advantage of multi-window mode, then a big screen is what you need. Phone makers know how much you love big-screen phones, so they are making 5.8 inches Galaxy S8 for that comfortable one-hand use.

Keeping notes of these points:

Remember that these points are really important whenever you are focusing on getting a new phone. Smartphone purchase is a big deal, especially if you are spending quite some bucks on it. So, without wasting time any further, check out these six important points and get yourself the perfect smartphone. Don’t forget to set a budget beforehand! For that, research is the key.

iPhone 12 Official

This is the iPhone 12 with which Apple hopes to replicate the success of the iPhone 11

iPhone 12 is finally among us: 4 models, a mini, a standard, a Pro, and a Pro Max version. New processor, 5G and LiDAR sensor

This year took longer than usual but the iPhone 12 is finally among us. Most of the rumors turned out to be correct, 4 models, a mini, a standard, a Pro, and Pro Max version. A new processor, 5G, and LiDAR sensor. The latest version of the Apple smartphone will also be available in several variants and sizes as the company adapts consumer behavior around mobile devices.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The inclusion of 5G does not constitute any news for consumers as a whole. Apple is not the first company to bring a 5G smartphone and according to statistics 13% of phones sold in the first half of 2020 had 5G technology.

The whole iPhone 12 line has undergone a redesign taking the layout elements from the iPad Pro.

iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12

First was introduced the iPhone 12, 6.1″11% thinner, 15% smaller, and 16% lighter and flat angles, distinctive of this generation. OLED screens are uniform on all fours and moreover will be protected by a special ceramic coating to guarantee 4 times more durability. Like the others, it will come with the latest A14 Bionic processor and the only smartphone with 5nm processing technology. This guarantees greater power but also efficiency in energy consumption. According to Apple, this processor is 50% faster than all the competition.

As was predicted the iPhone 12 has two rear cameras, a 12-megapixel main and a super-wide 12-megapixel taken from last year’s model. Night Mode has been upgraded to all models and added to the selfie camera.

Then was unveiled the iPhone 12 Mini which fortunately has almost the same power but comes in more modest dimensions with a 5.4 “screen. Features 5G and has the same specifications of the camera as the standard version. The dual set of which has received more investment on the software side.

Prices for the Mini will start at $699 while for the iPhone 12 start at $799.

The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are the Max of what Apple can offer

The difference of course holds the Pro tag which from Pro Max differs only in dimensions. The Pro has a 6.1″ screen while the Pro Max 6.7″. The A14 Bionic is 5nm here too, but unlike the first two, it has additional capabilities for real-time processing of what the camera captures or shoots, an asset that will cost you hundreds of dollars more.

The three rear camera sensors have undergone changes mainly in the aperture to work better with low light. Contrary to expectations, the Pro and Pro Max will not have four lenses, as the LiDAR depth sensor is smaller and less noticeable. It will add pretty much advantages to light processing as well as how fast it hits objects. This sensor will contribute quite a bit to the plans the company has for the AR sector.

The new Pro models feature Retina XDR OLED screens, A14 Bionic processors, glass with ceramic cover, LiDAR scanners, and 5G technology which are the maximum that Apple can offer. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max goes on sale in three configurations: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, and four colors: graphite, silver, gold, and blue. The pandemic apparently also affected Apple, which this time decided to start offering the iPhone 12 Pro from $999 and the 12 Pro Max from $1099. 

In the Pro Max model where the screen is bigger, Apple says it has packaged 3.5 million pixels. The back of these models is matte glass while the frame is made of steel. iPhone 12 Pro is water-resistant to a depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes thanks to IP68 certification. Another reason why people are willing to pay more with Pro models is the camera system. Orders for iPhone 12 Pro start on October 16th and sales on October 23rd. For iPhone 12 Pro Max orders start on November 6 and sales on November 13.

Processor and cameras

Thanks to the A14 Bionic processor, Apple brought a new “Apple ProRAW” format for professional photographers where the image retains editing capabilities. Specifically, users have more control over the colors, details, and dynamic range of the image on the iPhone.

The main sensor has a 7-element lens and f/1.6 aperture significantly increasing performance in low light. The ultra-wide-angle camera (ultrawide) has a field of view of 12 degrees, the telephoto a length of 52mm, and 4x optical zoom. The Phone 12 Pro Max has a 47% larger sensor improving the performance in low light by 87%. Also, the telephoto camera in this variant has a focal length of 65mm and 5x optical zoom.

Night Mode has also been extended to ultrawide cameras and Night Mode and Time-lapse modes promise more detail. Deep Fusion technology is faster. In video recording, the new models offer HDR video with Dolby Vision up to 60fps and optical stabilization. The innovation is the LiDAR scanner which has a role to play in augmented reality. In addition, this scanner can increase the autofocus performance in low light by 6 times. A novelty for the iPhone 12 is also MagSafe technology where users can charge the phone wirelessly or use magnetic accessories. Apple will sell a MagSafe charger, a silicone case, and a leather case. The MagSafe Duo charger is capable of charging iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously will debut in the coming weeks.

Innovation for this year

The smartphone has an OLED screen that Apple calls the Super Retina XDR doubling the number of pixels compared to the LCD screen that the iPhone 11 had last year.

All smartphones have the A14 Bionic chip. This time the chip has six processor cores and four graphics cores. Upon revealing this information the company took the opportunity to talk about the arrival of the League of Legends game on the iPhone.

With the iPhone 12, Apple decided to return to MagSafe, a magnetic system integrated into the back of the device through which accessories connect to the phone. These are mainly accessories such as wireless chargers and cases.

Lastly, regarding the packaging, Apple has decided to empty it, because with the purchase of the iPhone 12, you will no longer get Earpods wired headphones nor the charging adapter. Apple says it did it to protect the environment.

Prices and availability 

The new phone starts at $799, $100 more than the iPhone 12 mini also introduced at this event. The 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max models start at $999 and $1,099 respectively. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro can be ordered from October 16th while arriving in stores on October 23rd. Pro Max and Mini version on 13 November.

Protect Your Privacy

How to Protect Your Privacy on Public Wifi Hotspots?

Public Wi-Fi hotspots are honeypots for hackers as they can access users’ information without their realization. But unfortunately, people still prefer to use public Wi-Fi networks when it comes to browsing the web at public places or on the go.

Compared to personal or home Wi-Fi hotspots, public Wi-Fi hotspots are insecure and prone to various kinds of security risks such as hacking, identity theft, data loss, etc. Therefore, you should follow some essential tips that help you protect your privacy when using public Wi-Fi hotspots. 

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Select the correct network

You should always pick the legitimate network; otherwise, you can become a target of Man-in-the-middle-attack. For instance, you might have seen several network names that look similar when trying to connect to public Wi-Fi like Dreamnet Soho or Dreamnet Sofo. Surprisingly, this is a tested sign of Man-in-the-middle-attack. 

In this attack, hackers try to enforce or encourage users to sign-in into wrong networks. This way, they access your crucial information as most of the time, users do not check before connecting to public Wi-Fi and choose networks with strong signals. 

However, you must check whether you are connecting to any legitimate public Wi-Fi hotspot because it is a matter of your online safety, which you should not take lightly.   

Use a VPN

A VPN lets you remain safe and anonymous while using public Wi-Fi networks. When you install a VPN client on your device, it encrypts your data. Besides, it masks your actual IP address with another alternative IP address of your desired countries like the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, etc. 

However, selecting a reliable VPN that secures your digital footprints on the web is no easy task. You have to consider so many factors like jurisdiction, logging policy, price, compatibility, and others before subscribing to any VPN service.   

There are numerous VPN providers available in the market that can keep you secure and anonymous over the web. However, ExpressVPN is one of the most famous VPN services since it has ticked all the boxes in terms of performance and value. 

But to be on a safer side, you can opt for the free trial of ExpressVPN to save your hard-earned money. This way, you will be in a better position to make the right decision about your privacy. Through its free trial, you can test the performance of its different features like server spread, speed when connected to various servers, unblocking ability if it unblocks the content you want to access, privacy and security features, etc for 30 days with full money back guarantee.  

Choose a secure network

Choosing a secure network is not as difficult as you think. When you try to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot while using a Windows laptop, you will see networks available with a “secured” sign. It means you can connect to these Wi-Fi networks as they seem secure and will not compromise your privacy. 

On the contrary, if you connect to an unsecured network, you will receive a warning that says “Security Recommendation.” Hence, you had better connect to Wi-Fi networks that do not give you a prior security warning.     

Don’t provide too many information

When you sign up for public Wi-Fi access, you should remain cautious while providing personal information. You can contemplate such information in the form of an email address, cell phone number, etc. 

In these situations, you should provide your secondary email address and alternative cell phone number to complete the signup processes. Many restaurants and stores collect so much of their customers’ information when they use their Wi-Fi hotspots because they can use this data for marketing purposes later on. 

In reality, you have to decide if you are willing to pass on your sensitive information for the sake of enjoying free internet access; the choice is yours. However, it is not a viable thing to do so as local stores and restaurants may sell your personal data to third-party marketing companies.    

Use Antivirus

You should install antivirus software on your mobile device as it can safeguard you against different kinds of malware while using public Wi-Fi hotspots. You will receive an alert indicating any potential virus or malware as soon as you connect to a malicious Wi-Fi network.  

Other tips to secure your privacy when using public Wi-Fi hotspots

Aside from following these recommendations, other simple tips allow you to protect your privacy and devices both at the time of using public Wi-Fi networks:

  • You should disable the automatic connection feature
  • Do not perform any financial transaction on your devices via public Wi-Fi connections
  • Once you have used a public Wi-Fi hotspot, always remember to check forget  
  • Consider using your smartphone as a hotspot instead of relying on insecure public networks for internet access
  • Always use two-factor authentication as it secures your personal data from the prying eyes of hackers, snoopers, and other cybercriminals

Wrapping Up

To sum up, securing your privacy while using public Wi-Fi networks is your responsibility. If you do not give importance to your privacy, the chances are that you may end up becoming a target of hacking, phishing, ransomware and other security risks. 

Therefore, you must follow the recommendations mentioned above when connecting to a public Wi-Fi hotspot on the go.

Autel scanner

Which Autel scanner is bidirectional?

Autel are a diagnostic scan tool company that make high quality and professional standard devices at competitive prices. All of their scanners offer great features like code reading, system reprogramming and live data streaming. 

Some of their best scanning devices are also bidirectional, which is an excellent feature that really helps mechanics during vehicle servicing. In this article we’ll explain what a bidirectional scan tool really is, and give our recommendations of great Autel bi-directional scan tools.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

What is a bidirectional scanner?

If a scanner is bi-directional, it means that it can send information and commands to a vehicle, as well as receive information from it. A normal scan tool will only be able to receive information from the vehicle, which could be error codes, sensor readings and emissions values. A bi-directional scan tool can do all this, and in addition can send commands that will influence the vehicle directly.

For example, if a mechanic was investigating the brake pads of a car, they could use a bi-directional tool to open and close the brake callipers, without having to actually press the brake pedal themselves. This is not only useful if the brake pedal isn’t working properly, but also if a mechanic wants to be looking right at the callipers whilst they open and close them. You can also use a bi-directional scan tool to initiate ABS bleeding.

Bidirectional scan tools are also essential if the user wants to do any reprogramming or work on the ECU coding system. ECU coding basically lets the mechanic adjust parts of a vehicle’s CPU and tune it to however they or the customer would like it. There are quite a few things that you can adjust by re-coding the CPU, such as the actuator response, vehicle electronics, and even how many times the indicator blinks when you press it. A bi-directional scanner control gives a mechanic a lot of freedom and lets them personalise vehicles with ease (video here).

Overall, a bi-directional scan tool provides a range of options for a vehicle owner that a normal scanner simply can’t match. The ability to use car functions directly from the scan tool is very useful and this level of bidirectional control has made these tools very popular amongst professional mechanics.

Best Bi-directional Autel Scanners

Here are a couple of the best bidirectional scan tools made by Autel and there are also more options with in-depth reviews.

Maxisys MS906

The Maxisys MS906 is one of Autel’s latest diagnostic tools. Not only will it complete basic OBD functions such as disabling the check engine light or oil reset indicator, but it will also give a mechanic a great level of bi-directional control for running in depth, full system testing.

It has a high level of vehicle coverage and is compatible with a wide range of car brands and car models from around the world. It is very easy to use and comes with a one year warranty included. The Autel Maxisys is a great diagnostic tool with fantastic bidirectional functions.

MaxiDAS DS808

Another option is the MaxiDAS DS808. This scan tool also has good functionality and can run a variety of system tests, including actuator tests and fuel pump resetting.

The DS808 has an intuitive design and its software is simple to use and understand. Like the MS906, this diagnostic tool is compatible with a huge range of car makes and will have you covered with whatever drives into the workshop. It’s real time live data stream is a particularly well done feature.

Is Blue driver bidirectional?

Although the BlueDriver is capable of dual direction functions, they haven’t yet been fully integrated into the app. If you are only going to be reading sensor data and trouble codes, then the BlueDriver might serve you well. However, if you need to run active tests and use some of the best bi directional features, you won’t be able to with the BlueDriver.

Which Autel scanner is best?

Scanners made by this company are always well built and perform to a professional standard. It’s hard to say which is the best scanner they make, because a lot of them are designed with different uses in mind. Having said that, the MaxiSys MS906 and the MaxiDAS DS808 are some of the best scanners they make, and you can’t go wrong with either.

Which is better, Foxwell vs Autel?

These two brands are perhaps the most well known and respected in the business. You’ll be safe with a scanner from either – you can rest easy knowing you have a reliable tool with a great warranty whichever one you buy from.  If you are still unsure, check out this helpful video.

4 Tips For Attracting More Customers To Your Business Page

As a business, one of your biggest priorities should be increasing your customer base. Without customers, your business will cease to exist. The more customers that you have, the more income that you’ll generate. It’s really that simple. However, generating new customers isn’t always as simple. 

The best way to bring in customers is to use the visibility of the World Wide Web. By creating a stellar business page, you can attract new clients to your website, and start generating more money right away. Take a look at some of the best tips to bring in more customers to your business page.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Offer A Deal 

If there’s one thing that people love is the great deal. A good bargain can attract new people who may be shopping elsewhere currently.   It helps to offer your new customers an introductory discount, or even something free. Offering discounts and promotions can be a fantastic way to grab people’s attention who may not have otherwise considered you.

Current customers are one of your best resources for generating new ones. They will in turn share their high opinion of you with others who will in turn become customers as a result. 

In addition to rewarding your new customers, you should also make sure that you take care of your old ones. Offer your loyal customers deals as well as a “thank you” for their business.   

Network  

Networking is all about bringing your brand to light.  It’s important that you not only network in the real world, but also online. By networking on social media, you’ll bring an entirely new audience to your business page that may not have otherwise landed there. 

By getting involved in online communities you’ll start to become the first person that people think of when they need the kind of product or service that you offer.  

One of the best ways to go about networking is to see it as an opportunity to help others rather than asking yourself what’s in it for you. 

Use SEO

It’s important that you’re implementing some kind of search engine optimization strategy. Think of SEO as a way to tell Google to send customers your way. If you’re not familiar with some basic SEO techniques yet, you may want to consider getting familiar with them. The higher that you can appear on search results, the more visibility that your webpage will have. 

Know Your Customer 

One of the best ways to appeal to your customer is to know who they are. Get to know what it is that they are after and what attracts them. By understanding how your potential clients think, you’ll be more likely to reel them in to check out your page.

Apple 5nm Chip-

Apple today will show more than the iPhone 12, a technological revolution

Today the company will make a fuss with the first devices that have a new type of chip

With the new processor, users of these devices can edit 4K video, modify high-resolution photos, and play graphically intensive games more easily than previously possible using fewer battery.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The new 5-nanometer architecture means that the size of the transistors has been reduced and the processor board occupies more of them than was previously possible. These transistors are now only 25 atoms wide and billions of them can be placed on a single plate. Simply put, more processing power. Four years ago the industry doubted that such an advancement would be possible.

Such advancements would not have been possible before an unknown Dutch company called ASML. This company has developed a way to construct transistors on the silicon plate through a process called Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV). Its machinery costs $123 million a share. It is currently the only company that manufactures these devices and they are more cost-effective than alternative options due to the low level of defects.

Only two chipmakers have started using this technology commercially:

Both firms have their share in ASML alongside Intel which will start using the technology in 2021.

What exactly does 5-nanometer mean?

One nanometer is one of 1 billion Metter. This is the size that human hair grows every second. Transistors are used to measure the width of a component. But a decade ago the way chips are designed changed and nanometers are no longer used as a geometric effect. Today 5 nanometers is more of a marketing term and two companies with the same design can produce transistors with different performance.

To help you understand the size of transistors, at every 1 mm2 of the Apple chip are put 17,1 million transistors. The new structure with a stack of four nanosheets allows about 30 transistors to be placed onto the chip with the size of a fingernail bringing significant gains in efficiency and power.

In comparison to the 10 nm chip, the new 5 nm structure brings 40% performance improvements at fixed power, or 75% power saving at matched performance. This leads to more powerful and more efficient smaller devices.

N5 is the first TSMC process designed around extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Because it uses a 13.5-nanometer light instead of 193-nanometers, EUV can define chip features in one step—compared with three or more steps using 193-nanometer light.

Smarter smartphones

Everything that was said above matters because switching to 5-nanometer means that devices are more intelligent. As chips advance, more tasks are capable of performing and many of them can now be done locally instead of being sent to remote servers. We have already seen smartphones capable of transcribing voices or recognizing people in pictures without the need for an internet connection. With new processors, more complex tasks are possible with artificial intelligence which means that smartphones can better recognize the world around them.

Switching to smaller transistors, processors use less power and have higher performance. For this reason, TSMC 5-nanometer chips should be 15% faster than 7-nanometer ones or 30% more power-efficient.  Apple claims that the A14 can perform machine learning tasks 10 times faster than the A13. But consumers are more concerned about real-life benefits than theoretical digits.

iPhone 12 Last Minute Rumors: Better Zoom and Longer Battery Life

Apple will unveil new iPhone models today. The company will hold an event at 19:00 with our local time and you can watch the live broadcast live on this YouTube link. With the Apple event just a few hours away, you would think that we already know everything about the new iPhone 12. And, for the most part, we know, and here are two summaries of what we expect for Apple to announce tomorrow.

According to speculation, Apple will introduce four versions of the iPhone 12, including a 5.4-inch “mini” model, an iPhone 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max. Some of the models will be equipped with 5G technology although the latter is still in experimental stages in many parts of the world.

However, the leaker Max Winebauch has disseminated some very detailed, last-minute information about the new iPhones, some of which we have not heard before.

According to Winebauch, the smallest of the iPhone, the 5.4-inch “iPhone 12 Mini” – will have a TrueDepth camera system adjusted at the front, resulting in a level that is smaller horizontally but slightly larger vertically.

Zoom is getting another improvement; Weinbauch claims that the Pro models will have 3x optical zoom and 25x to 30x digital zoom, while the non-Pro iPhone 12 models will get better zoom through software upgrades.

The new iPhones are getting bigger batteries than the previous models. This should result in one-hour battery life for Pro models. However, the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini will perform worse than the iPhone 11 when it comes to battery life, due to its smaller size.

Other news from Weinbauch includes support for 4K video at 120 or 240 fps, faster Face ID operation, night mode being added to the telephoto camera, better low light performance for the ultrawide camera, and a possible macro camera mode, as well as a portrait video.

The big Apple event starts at 19:00, on Tocday, October 13th.
