How to get iOS 14 on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus?

Great news is coming from Apple! The brand new, next-generation iOS operating system was released on September 16th.

Apple is introducing a lot of new features such as a redesigned Home Screen, a new App Library, and a new compact call design. The new iOS 14 update will let you play a video thumbnail (Picture in Picture) while doing other things.

Also, Siri is smarter and can answer a wider range of questions, with answers pulled from across the internet. 

To get all these features you simply need to update your operating system. First of all, make sure to back up all of your data before updating. There are two ways of getting iOS on the iPhone.

You can wait for a notification to inform you that your update is ready, or do it by yourself. 

How to do a manual update?

To do a manual update you need to go to Settings, then General. Next, go to Software update and simply pick Download and Install. It may ask for your iPhone password. After inserting a password, just accept terms and conditions. 

However, updating may take longer then you are ready to wait. Don’t worry about it! This is the reason why you can choose to update it during the night.

Just make sure that Automatic Updates option is on (Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates). Next, put your iPhone to charge. Now make sure it’s connected to Wi-Fi. That’s it!

By the time you wake up, the update will be ready. Congratulations! Now you can enjoy all the new amazing features of iOS.

Did iPhone ban Fortnite from its App Store, leaving thousands of players without their favorite game? The conflict started after a Fortnite latest update. It let players buy in-game currency at a lower rate if they bought directly from maker Epic Games.

How they said in Apple – this was a violation of App Store terms and conditions.  

Those who have already downloaded Fortnite on iOS are still able to access the game. You can still play Season 3, but your opponents will be limited to fellow Apple players.

However, new downloads are not available as a result of Apple banning the game from the App Store. 

Did iPhone ban Fortnite and Why?

Apple is facing popular criticism these days over how it manages the App Store and its mandatory fees. When you make in-app purchases from an iOS app, Apple takes a 30% cut.

Apple simply says is justified by the service it provides. Apple’s contracts prohibit trying to break the rules.

However, Epic tried to challenge the rule. Epic encouraged iOS players to buy the game’s digital currency, known as V-Bucks, directly from Epic. Obviously, it was against Apple’s in-app purchase system rules.

To make it look even better, Epic offered a discount to those who bought V-Bucks directly. Consumers may have viewed it as a loyalty bonus. On the other side, Apple saw it as a gross violation of its contract with Epic. 

What about Android?

Epic implemented its payment system in the Android version of Fortnite as well. Google took similar action and removed the game from the Play Store.

However, Android users are still able to download Fortnite using Epic’s app launcher. Unfortunately, on iOS, the App Store is the only way to legitimately load apps.

Did iPhone ban Fortnite? Why is this such a big deal?

It seems that this isn’t just a conflict between Epic and Apple. The entire foundation of the app economy is at stake. Epic isn’t the only company to fight with Apple.

The problem is that Apple holds an anti-competitive and unlawful monopoly that actively harms app and game developers and consumers. 

Is there any chance that Apple will allow back Fortnite?

In a statement, Apple has said that it plans to work with Epic to “resolve these violations”.

So, Fortnite may be allowed back into the App Store if and when it follows the store’s terms and conditions.

Many are probably wondering does the iPhone 11 come with airpods. Unfortunately, it does not.

AirPods are Apple’s pair of truly wireless earbuds. They come with a cute little case that both protects the airpods when they are not in use and keeps them charged.

Additionally, the latest iteration of AirPods also can be configured with a Qi-enabled wireless charging case. Namely, with this, you can charge up the buds without plugging in a Lightning cable, as long as you have a Qi pad about.

Anyway, the airpods cost up to £199/$199. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that Apple is not giving a pair with its iPhone 11 series, even if they are pricey phones.

On the other hand, Samsung has decided to include its AirPod-rivalling Galaxy Buds with the brand’s foldable Galaxy Fold smartphone.

That phone costs £1900, so adding some extra wireless buds into the package seems slightly fairer.

Anyhow, the airpods that come with all models of the iPhone 11 seem to be unchanged from previous years. They still come in a glossy white finish with a remote control on the wire.

They plug into the phone via the Lightning port on the bottom and sound merely fine.

However, there is always the chance Apple has altered the sound or tweaked something internally this time around.

About this Device

The iPhone came as a surprise. It brought more advanced technology, mostly in the camera capabilities and the processing power under the hood.

It combines a large 6.1-inch display with a premium-feeling body, and comes in an array of colors too.

The most eye-catching feature of the new iPhone is to the imaging capabilities: with two sensors on the rear, you can now take wider-angle snaps alongside the ‘normal’ main images.

These sensors are 12MP each, and are raised from the rear of the phone in a square glass enclosure.

The night mode brings brightness and clarity to impossibly dark scenes. In addition, the portrait mode defocuses the background and is improved on this model.

The design has not changed much from the previous models.

The overall speed and performance of the iPhone 11 is robust.

Overall the iPhone 11 is a triumph for Apple. Plenty of people are going to be won over by the camera and the safety that it gives you.

Since it started rolling out and many didn’t know the ropes about it, they are now suspicious their phone is spying on them.

Well, the Apple COVID-19 tracker isn’t that bad, and here is what you need to know.

Tracker doesn’t upload your personal information online

Understandably, the main concern is that along with the exposure data, the Apple COVID-19 tracker manages and uses personal information.

Well, this is not the case, since this technology works in a certain way so that most of the privacy concerns are eliminated.

In that light, the creation of tracing keys is random, and only the device stores them locally.

Furthermore, Apple COVID-19 tracker uploads only the keys from devices that tested positive to the health organization’s server.

What’s more, privacy is strong with the sole fact that keys use AES encryption and are generated randomly every 10-20minutes.

Finally, the keys don’t encompass location information and everything occurs on a device level, said Apple and Google.

On top of that, the information is only transmitting after a verified COVID-19 test that is positive.

Apple and Google started making Apple COVID-19 tracker early on

The two giants were thinking about the app like this. And it all happened at the early stages of the pandemic to aid a fight against the coronavirus.

Even more, now that public places are reopening again and while life is recovering, Apple COVID-19 tracker might prove useful.

Moreover, for the tool to be useful, people need to actively use it and not be worried about their privacy.

Also, users need to know that their health information isn’t collected or stored on the central server to which the government has access to.

With Apple COVID-19 tracker, that’s not the case, since the user exclusively needs to install and grant it permissions.

Therefore, that new setting on their IoS or Android device everyone is buzzing isn’t there to steal your data.

The main purpose is to help the apps and services from official health organizations work better, but still, users decide.

Anyhow, this devicer is providing support and efficiency in discovering and giving warnings about COVID-19.

Furthermore, users should give it a shot and try it, as we all need to aid the fight with the coronavirus pandemic.

Even though they had a good couple of years in the past, their stock revenue and value started to fall. And, that leads to the conclusion that the company is not trustworthy anymore when it comes to profit.

AMD Stock – Earnings

It’s safe to say that AMD earning for the last fourth-quarter are significantly good. Simply speaking, their share jumped by $0.01 which is quite high considering the fact that they have over a million shares. Also, the company overall revenue rose 7.4 % which is exactly $465 million. And, all that is in the last fourth-quarter.

However, that’s not the case with the first quarter of 2020. Namely, the AMD stock exchange was not that good since they expected to earn much more. AMD’s first-quarter revenue was 15.5 % lower than expected. In case you wonder how much money that is, well, it’s approximately $1.86 billion.

Now, we can see the exact number of their loss. And, it’s safe to say that it’s not looking good for the AMD company.

AMD is still profitable

Since they suffered huge loss due to their poor management, it’s certain that AMD needs to get back on the top. After all, we can all agree that this company belongs to the very top in their field.

Now, their analyst revised the whole business plan and suggested some changes. First, they increased their target price on AMD stock from $34 to $45. This move will bring them more buyers in case they start to grow, which is nearly guaranteed.

Also, it’s a good thing that this company is in safe hands since they are revised by 40 different analysts. Therefore, we can all agree that their stock revenue will rise after some time. After all, time is needed for them to get back on the horse.

“We have a very high bar when it comes to adding a menu item, but the feedback from our customers in the test markets made this decision easy,” Chick-fil-A’s head of menu and packaging, Amanda Morris, said in a statement.

Chick-fil-A is also launching Frosted Caramel Coffee on Monday for a limited time through early November. The treat combines the chain’s signature Icedream dessert with caramel syrup and sustainably-farmed THRIVE Farmer’s Coffee cold brew.

so on a hunch I tried to force a bug check and well, yeah…

It’s kind of comical. Do you think they changed it because of all the past negativity or did they change it because they just wanted a design change? Either way, we hope it won’t nag us as much as it has in the past.  Overall my experience has been pretty positive with Windows 10 compared to previous operating systems.

Hallmark spokeswoman Julie Elliott said the wrapping paper wasn’t intended specifically for the Jewish holiday. Elliott says in a statement:

“We apologize for the oversight and apologize to anyone who was offended. That obviously was not our intent. It was an oversight on our part to not notice the intersecting lines that could be seen as a swastika pattern.”

Elliott said the gift wrap’s print was based on a design in the Hallmark archives that drew inspiration from an old Chinese vase, The Kansas City Star adds.

After looking at the pattern, it does take a little while to notice the swastika pattern.  It’s not to surprising it got through. It seems to look like a greek key pattern when you look at it quick.  Embarrassing for the designer who let that one sneak by though :(

The BioSport headphones utilize a biometric device built directly into the earbud. The sensors will detect heart rate and other vital stats which will be transferred as data to your smart phone. The biometric buds will function with existing apps that will be able to track other exercise milestones such as distance run and calories burned, depending on the features of the app. The makers of the device also pledge quality sound from the headphones in addition to its other capabilities.

In an official press release, the headphones are promoted as the one-device workout accessory, eliminating the need for cumbersome chest strap or wrist heart monitors. The headphones are powered by a built-in audio jack, also erasing the need for a device with an additional charger. True to SMS’s pledge to combine function with style and technology, the earbuds are waterproof and sweat proof.

Michael Bell, corporate vice president and general manager of the New Devices Group at Intel discussed the partnership in the release saying: “With SMS Audio, we will bring smart headphones to market that eliminate the inconvenience of add-on devices with an integrated, one-device fitness accessory offering high-end style and premier sound quality for an exceptional fitness experience. This is a prime example of Intel driving innovation in wearable devices while being a forerunner in merging lifestyle and technology.”

Merging technology with the exercise experience is something Intel and SMS audio believe will be valuable to everyone from those beginning a fitness routine to the advanced marathon runner.

With the announcement, 50 Cent is hoping to capitalize on the success of other premier headphone lines, most notably Dr. Dre’s Beats brand which was valued at $1 billion in late 2013.

At the time of the press release no price was available. The BioSport headphones are expected to be on store shelves later this year.

As a contact wearer, I find this amazing they could do this with the contact.  It appears to have wire leads inside of the lens that monitor glucose levels.  I’m not sure if you can see the wire when they’re in but it’s pretty cool either way!

Now.  If only Google can make contacts that can give me search results, Google maps, and other information!  Forget Google Glasses!

Privacy is the main worry of people who own smartphones. They think about who’s listening to their calls, seeing their conversations, etc. The private information of a person is personal. What they do on their phone should not be recorded or noted by anyone. Blackphone will have a security-first Android type OS called PrivatOS. It will still have the high-quality processor, but it will be unlocked and free of any geographical restrictions. It is also compatible with any GSM network. Users will be able to make completely secure and safe calls and video chats. While it may not be as powerful as the top smartphone right now, the CEO of Silent Circle has claimed that it will be a “high-end” smartphone.

Of course, the number one priority isn’t the specifications. If you wanted that, go buy the Galaxy S4. The number one priority for this smartphone is security. There hasn’t been any hands-on impression of the smartphone, it will make it’s first appearance at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona of the 24th of February. More details will be discovered by then.

Smartphone security is a major issue. With Apple announcing that everything you say to Siri is recorded or the NSA knowing nearly everything you do on your smartphone, it’s a very uncomfortable and difficult situation. People are hesitant when they do things on their phone, wondering if someone can see what they’re doing or can listen in on their calls. If Blackphone really does the things it advertises, it could play a major role in the upcoming smartphone generation. It’s still going to be a high-quality smartphone, but also offer you the superb security that the other major smartphones don’t offer. Who wouldn’t be interested in buying the Blackphone? I know I would be, and many other people too. Look out iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, Blackphone is on the way.

Research has shown that certain nuts are good for the body, especially the male body.  Just don’t down a five pound bag of roasted-in-the-shell peanuts in one sitting.

If you are in the hunt for a quick and convenient snack, just stop into your favorite convenience store and pick up a bag of Castachio Nuts.

Castachio has introduced two new flavors — Cajun Chili Pepper and Zesty Salt & Pepper.  (That Cajun Chili Pepper sounds…gooooood!).

The original Castachio is a snack food combination of whole cashews and shelled pistachios, roasted and lightly salted.  (A word of warning to folks own coumadin therapy… pistachios are high in vitamin K… and vitamin K is a no-no.)

The two new flavors are in response to demographic insights gleaned from feedback from existing customers and in-depth market analysis, according to the companies Germack Pistachio Co. and Power Nuts.
