One of the selling points of Apple’s iPad Pro is its beautiful 120Hz display. If you’ve ever tried it, you’ll know how smooth and slick the display is and what a pleasure it is to use. We’re sure that as a result, many are wondering if this is a feature that Apple could be considering bringing to its iPhones.
So far, the company hasn’t done so, but according to a tweet by leakster Ice Universe, they are claiming that Apple will be bringing this feature to its 2020 iPhones. According to the tweet, it seems that Apple is in talks with both Samsung and LG to bring those displays to its iPhones, and that it could be a display that can switch between 60Hz and 120Hz.
If this is true, it actually makes a ton of sense. This is because on Android phones, there is a hidden option to enable displays with a higher refresh rate for some phones. However, the reason why this is not a feature offered is because a higher refresh rate means a bigger battery drain, so by allowing the phone to switch between 60Hz and 120Hz will offer a balance between a smooth display and also making sure it is not a battery hog.

Needless to say that you should take it with a grain of salt for now, but displays with a higher refresh rate does seem like a logical progression. After all, Razer has done it with both the Razer Phone and Razer Phone 2, while OnePlus has also offered a 90Hz display with its OnePlus 7 Pro.

Android Q Will Offer Up More Detailed Battery Information On Your Headphones
Posted in: Today's Chili
With more smartphone makers ditching the headphone jack, it means that more users are starting to transition to wireless headphones. While going wireless is no doubt welcome, the downside is that it requires a battery, which means that they need to be constantly charged and where users can run into situations where they’re out of juice.
However, the good news for Android users is that with the upcoming Android Q update, Google will start to show more detailed battery life on wireless headphones, meaning that you won’t suddenly run out of battery one day, as the percentage will let you know when it is a good time to start charging it.
According to Google, “As True Wireless Stereo (TWS) headphones continue to gain momentum in the market and with users, it is important to build system-wide support for TWS. Later this year, TWS headsets with Fast Pair will be able to broadcast individual battery information for the case and buds. This enables features such as case open and close battery notifications and per-component battery reporting throughout the UI.”
In addition, Google will also be making changes to its Fast Pair feature such as introducing a “Find My Device” feature in the app and website, allowing users to track down missing devices.

The Apple Watch is fast becoming a device that has saved many lives. This is thanks to its built-in features such as its heart rate monitor and ECG monitor that alerts the wearer to anything wrong with their heart rates, thus allowing them to seek medical help quickly before it is too late.
According to a recent report from The Telegraph, it looks like the Apple Watch can once again be attributed to saving a life. This is thanks to the built-in alerts we mentioned earlier, which tipped off Paul Hutton from Essex that something is wrong, where according to his Apple Watch, his heart rate was abnormally low.
Hutton had initially sought medical help from his general practioner who told him to adjust his diet, but the alerts kept coming where eventually he went to see a specialist. According to the specialist, Hutton has a form of irregular heart rhythm known as ventricular bigeminy, where he later went for surgery to address the problem.
As we said, this is not the first time that the Apple Watch has been credited with saving a life. It is not limited to just its heart rate monitoring features either, where we have seen examples where its SOS feature and LTE have also allowed its wearer to call for help when their phones cannot be reached.
