Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories have built what they called the world’s smallest and best acoustic amplifier. Interestingly, the team leveraged a concept that was virtually abandoned five decades ago. The paper the researchers published about their breakthrough shows the device is more than ten times more effective than earlier versions of the design. The significantly improved acoustic amplifier could … Continue reading

Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro series comes with a triple camera setup, one of which is an ultra wide lens. Users are able to switch between the lenses if they want, but the problem with shooting in ultra wide is that it is a fixed focus, meaning that users don’t get to specify which area of the photo they want to focus on.
This is versus the regular camera where you can tap on anywhere in the frame to focus on. However, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, that will change with the iPhone 13. According to Kuo, he claims that the iPhone 13 Pro series will continue to feature the use of an ultra wide lens, but it will also have the ability to autofocus.
He claims that in addition to autofocus, Apple will be making changes to the number of elements within the lens and change it from five elements to six. This is expected to result in better quality photos and videos. This will be limited to the iPhone 13 Pro series which includes the iPhone 13 Pro and the Pro Max models, but Kuo says that this tech will trickle down to the non-Pro iPhones in 2022.
This isn’t that surprising since that’s kind of what Apple’s been doing over the years, where usually certain features are exclusive to the higher-end models before they make their way to the “regular” models. The iPhone 13 series is currently expected to launch in September, so we only have a couple of months of waiting to do.

The “Last Week Tonight” host looks at health care sharing ministries, which is like health insurance, except it’s not.
According to the rumors, Apple is expected to launch the new iPhone 13 series this coming September. That’s pretty much what we’ve come to expect over the years, but for those hoping to hear about any other products before the iPhone 13 is launched, you might want to temper your expectations.
This is according to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter in which he writes, “For Apple, all attention is on the fall, so the next several weeks are destined to be light on product news. We’re about three months away from the next iPhone and Apple Watch models going on sale—along with the releases of iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8, so stay tuned for plenty of news on those after the summer doldrums.”
There have been rumors that Apple is working on new AirPods and new Mac computers, and while they are believed to launch this year, just don’t expect them to be announced ahead of the iPhone event. To be fair, we can’t say that this is too surprising. This is because Apple’s next event after WWDC is usually the iPhone event.
The company does announce new products via press releases every now and then, but presumably Gurman’s report covers press releases as well. Either way, it’s something we’ll just have to sit back and wait and see.

Carriers usually sell devices made by other companies, but from time to time and as we have seen in the past, they do make their own products. In fact, it seems that Verizon could be making something of their own, according to a report from Protocol who spotted an FCC filing last week.
According to this filing, it seems that Verizon is developing its own Alexa-powered smart display. The device has the model name LVD1 and features an 8-inch 1280×800 display, 4GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. It will support Bluetooth and WiFi, but since this is going to be made by Verizon, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that it would support 4G connectivity as well.
This is actually perfect if your home’s internet is a bit slow or down and you need an alternative way of connecting. Verizon has declined to comment on the existence of the device, but if the FCC filing is accurate, it shouldn’t be too long before it is launched. Exactly how much it will cost and what other features it might have also remains to be seen.
That being said, smart displays aren’t new. We’ve seen some powered by Google Assistant and some powered by Alexa, like Amazon’s Echo Show series, so there’s really nothing new here and hopefully Verizon will price it affordably.
