As per a report, Apple is facing strained relationships with the American chipmaker Intel, due to which it is ramping up its in-house modem production for its future 5G smartphones, which may make their way into the market by the year 2021. Now, It appears that Apple has lost its confidence in Intel’s ability to deliver the promised 5G modems by 2020.
About The Intel-Apple Partnership
Reports state that 1000 to 2000 Qualcomm and Intel engineers are working on the aforementioned chips and modems, which will be used in future iPhones. However, Intel has reportedly missed out on deadlines for the production and development of the XMM 8160 5G modem. While Apple is unsatisfied with Intel’s results, Intel reverted by saying that Apple is a demanding client and that it is very conflicted with Apple regarding the partnership.
Additionally, Intel also claims that it has lowered its margins drastically in light of the partnership, and at the same time, the company has to treat Apple as its number one priority. The internal conflict between the two companies may take a more serious turn, with Intel focusing on more profitable businesses in other categories. Even though doing so might be a breach of contract, Intel may start taking a practical oversight of the situation, which might harm relations between both the companies.

Consequently, Apple is in a twist regarding the 5G modem production. Companies like Samsung and MediaTek will be unable to supply 5G modems for the iPhones by at least 2020, reports say. As reported previously, Apple has been in a legal fallout with chipset manufacturer, Qualcomm, so the prospects of Apple and Qualcomm working together for a long period of time may be very weak. Nonetheless, Apple is known for treating its customers with the utmost priority, so the American multinational technology company may have something up its sleeve in order to speed up the rollout of 5G iPhones in the near future.
WIPO (World Intelectual Property Organization) published the patent on January 29, 2019. The patent originated from Guangdong Oppo Mobile Telecommunications, and it contained information regarding an “Electronic Device with a display panel”. The company that introduced one of the first pop-up camera modules in the market has now patented two new designs, one of which is a pop-up display design. That is right, the smartphone has a second display that pops out of the primary display. It may seem like an idea that no one has thought of previously, but Oppo has already put it on paper. And the design may have some really helpful functionalities.
The first design is that of a pop-up display, and it is very similar to a pop-up camera’s mechanism, except the fact that instead of a camera, a screen pops out. Obviously, the second display is much slimmer and narrower than the main display of the device, and for the same reason, it has almost one-third the height of the primary display. Seemingly, a telescopic mechanism helps the second narrower display to pop out of the device. Where some people may argue that it is a useless feature, it may actually be beneficial for those who multitask a lot and use the keyboard in the portrait mode.
The second design is also aesthetically pleasing. As per images, the screen does not pop up from the top, instead, a second screen slides towards the left using a guide rail mechanism. This design may remind a lot of users of the HTC Desire Z device, which was released in September 2010, almost a decade ago. The design was very convenient for people who were used to conventional QWERTY typing at that time. Now, when QWERTY keyboards are literally the standard, slider phones may make a comeback soon, albeit without the physical buttons.

The Galaxy A90 is speculated to be the first phone from the company without any punch hole cutout or a notch of any sorts. Moreover, this may lead to a bezel-free screen on the smartphone, and taking into account the aforementioned pop-up camera, this may actually be a stark reality. The Galaxy A90 is expected to sport an 11 nm based Snapdragon 7150 SoC, and even though very little is known about the chipset itself, it will provide enhanced support for AI, gaming and camera.
Under the hood, the Galaxy A90 is speculated to pack 8GB of RAM and 256GB of Internal Storage for the top variant. Other rumoured features include a 48MP primary camera with an ultrawide sensor and telephoto lens. Additionally, the A90 may have a 32MP front camera. Moreover, the device may have support for 25W fast charging. The device is expected to be priced in the sub 30k segment, and as mentioned before, it will be unveiled in April 2019.
As mentioned before, a listing of an ASUS smartphone with model number I01WD was uploaded on AnTuTu on the 3rd of April. The aforementioned smartphone is alleged to be the ZenFone 6. The listing exposes that the handset runs on the latest Android 9.0 Pie OS and features the Snapdragon 855.
It is known that the aforementioned chipset is one of the best SoCs in the market as of now. The alleged ZenFone 6 registers an impressive score of 363172 points on AnTuTu. According to the listing, it is packed with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. However, Asus is also expected to launch the upcoming smartphone in other storage variants as well. Other specifications include the display resolution (which is 2340 x 1080 px) and the GPU, which is the Adreno 640. Other specifications will only be made available once the company officially reveals them.

Google Duplex is basically a part of the Google Assistant, and it can facilitate users to save some time from their schedules. For instance, if a user wants to book an appointment at a salon for the next day, he/she can just tell Google Assistant to do the same. After confirming all the details, the assistant will ring up the salon and have a normal, “human-sounding” conversation with the authority in charge and book an appointment for the user.
When Pixel 3 was first launched, the Duplex service was available only for limited people and could only be availed in four select cities. However, in the month of March 2019, the company announced that Duplex will be available in 47 states. Moreover, Google also stated that Duplex will be rolled out to other Android and iOS devices as well. Sources report that Google Duplex is already rolling out to other devices such as the

The company stated that there is a huge amount of untapped data and that the company will design hardware that enables its systems to process the generated data in a way that efficiency is maintained. Moreover, Intel believes that new systems are also required to manage the ever-changing workloads and deployment models that drive data-based infrastructure. Consequently, OCP and Intel are working together for the same. Intel claims that it’s expertise in the field of AI and engineering will enable it to produce products and technologies that will lay the foundation for innovation in the aforementioned field.
As per the event, Intel’s new cloud-optimized setup for the Xeon processors will have a 4-socket reference design. This will enable the processor to get its core count up to 112 in a singular 2U platform and greatly boost memory bandwidth. Companies like Dell, HP, Lenovo and Quanta will probably deliver new cloud-optimized Xeon processors based on the preceding reference design. They might make their way into markets by the end of the year 2019.
Intel has announced that it will team up with online social media and networking giant, Facebook to work on Intel’s upcoming Cooper Lake 14nm Intel Xeon processor family, which will sport Bfloat 16. Bfloat 16 is a 16-bit floating representation which will boost the performance of deep learning systems by offering a similar dynamic range to the basic 32-bit representations. Doing so will greatly improve the speed of AI deep learning, which in turn will help develop new systems such as recommendation engines, speech recognition and machine translation.

Not that it is relevant, but the first headphones were developed in 1910 and it’s been a long road. Almost a century later, headphones have acquired a completely different look and style. A lot of people are not aware when it comes to buying wireless headphones, owing to the recent surge in their popularity. Most people prefer Bluetooth headphones over wired headphones because of increased convenience and a better style statement. But what things do you need to keep in mind while going for a new pair of Bluetooth headphones?
If you are a fitness-oriented person who has to run and workout on a daily basis, over-the-ear headphones will probably not work out for you.
