No one likes having someone else, especially a stranger, look over their shoulder when they’re using their phones or computers. This is particularly true if you’re working on something that might contain private or sensitive information that shouldn’t be seen by non-authorized personnel.
It looks like Apple could actually have a way to deal with this problem, at least that’s according to a report from PhoneArena which points towards a recently-discovered patent where Apple has come up with an idea for a display that can encrypt itself. This means that if it detects a non-authorized person looking at the display, its contents will scramble and become illegible.
How this works is that the device in question will rely on a camera sensor to determine the gaze of the user, as well as analyzing the environment around them. For example, if it detects that someone else that is not the user looking at the display, the part the person is looking at will be made indecipherable, while the part where the authorized user is looking at remains legible.
Apple already employs facial recognition to its iPhones and iPads, so it looks like the company does have some tech in place that could make this a reality. However, whether or not they will remains to be seen, but we wouldn’t be surprised given Apple’s long-standing boast about how they approach user privacy.

It seems that Apple could have a stellar year on their hands as far as the AirPods are concerned. This is according to a report from DigiTimes (paywall) in which they are claiming that based on information from sources within Apple’s supply chain, the company is apparently planning on boosting AirPods shipments by as much as 50% in 2020.
This means that in 2020, Apple could ship as many as 90 million units of the AirPods, a huge increase from the previous year. Now, we know that shipments does not equate to sales, but companies usually base shipments on how many units they think that they will be able to sell, where it is a balance between ensuring that products are constantly available without keeping too much inventory on hand.
Whether or not Apple will actually sell that many, maybe less or maybe even more, remains to be seen, but the rumored increase in shipments shows that the company is at the very least confident about its ability to sell AirPods.
That being said, it’s not surprising that the Apple is boosting its shipments. The AirPods have been one of the company’s best-selling accessories since it launched, where many have praised the earbuds along with its successor, the AirPods Pro. There have been rumors suggesting that there might even be an AirPods Pro Lite in the works.

If you’re a fan of Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise, then you might want to check out this brand new LEGO set. In a partnership with Nintendo, LEGO has unveiled a brand new set that is themed around Mario where it will bring the iconic plumber to life in his own little LEGO set, that we can’t help but think is incredibly adorable.
According to Takashi Tezuka, Executive Officer and Game Producer of Nintendo, “I have always liked LEGO products and how they help children use their imagination to play. The new product we created together with the LEGO Group seeks to combine two different styles of play – one where you freely build the world of Mario and the other where you play with Mario in the very world that you have created.”
LEGO claims that this won’t be just another themed LEGO set. Instead, this LEGO set is interactive where players will be able to collect coins in real-life game levels create with these LEGO bricks, thus providing children and gamers alike with a brand new way of interacting and playing with LEGO.
There is currently no word on pricing or availability yet, but the company does plan on releasing it later this year, so do keep an eye out for it if this is something you might be interested in.
