We all know that the latest iPhone is famous for its “notch”, don’t we? However, the newest report that the 2019 Apple iPhone might drop this iconic feature and put their selfie cam under the display! Read on to find out the reason!

2019 Apple iPhone to drop the iconic “notch” from iPhone X flagship!

Before iPhone X, the smartphone community has raised many questions that whether this handset is going to be different from the usual iPhone handset. And then with the arrival of a never-before notch, we all wonder what purpose it would serve. However, after a couple of months, Apple iPhone X’s notch has officially become one of the hottest trends for 2018 smartphones.

On the other hand, many iPhone fans have thought that this feature is going to have a permanent stay in the upcoming iPhone. However, the latest report might prove us wrong. Recently, a media channel from Koran – South Korea’s Electronic Times – has stated that the 2018 Apple iPhone is going to drop the notch design. Instead, the next generation of Apple iPhone is going to have a display which completely “fill the front”.

Furthermore, the statement brings in many suggestions for future iPhone design. In details, with a completely bezel-less display, Apple is likely to embed all the sensors under the screen. Furthermore, the front camera is going to be inside the display. Additionally, the 2019 Apple iPhone retains its FaceID feature and make use of the BM (Black Matrix) area within their displays. However, we haven’t seen any patents from Apple for embedding sensors and selfie camera under the screen. Notably, Samsung also possesses one license with the similar design. With two tech giants aiming for this design, there is a high chance that “all-screen” display can be the next trend in the smartphone world!

Recently, many users have sported Apple’s iBoot program for Apple iOS 9 on GitHub website. Who is the person behind this leak? Read on to find out now!

Apple iOS 9

Apple iOS 9 source code ended up on GitHub, what happened?!

Previously, the most significant leak in Apple history has taken place. In details, the important source code for Apple’s iBoot program has appeared on GitHub, a web-based hosting service. As a result, everyone now has a sneak peek of what Apple’s developing for their upcoming iOS. There is a high chance that hackers can use the information from this system to decrypt Apple iPhones and cause trouble with it. So, who is the “mastermind” behind the leak?

To break through Apple’s high-security level, we might have guessed they would be a skillful computer genius. You are going to be surprised about the truth! Back in 2016, an intern has helped his friends who were members of the jailbreaking community to code. According to them, they wanted to have the code for their research. As reported by Motherboard, this intern has taken the additional sources code and file name.

Apple iOS 9

Moreover, one of the five members shared that the intern has stolen “all sorts of Apple internal tools and whatnot.” Initially, the original group who had the stolen Apple iOS 9 code committed to not sharing them to others. However, the member then stated to share it with their friends, thus making the group lost track of the code’s distribution. And this February, a user has decided to post it on GitHub. On the other hand, what made it to the Apple iOS 9 development platform was not the entire leak. Notably, one of the group members said: “What leaked (the other day) isn’t even the full leak. It’s not the original leak—it’s a copy.” 

What does Apple have to say about Apple iOS 9 leak?

According to the latest update, Apple shared that they have known about the missing code before its leak. However, the US tech giant seems unfazed about the situation. Furthermore, they went ahead and confirmed: “The security of our products doesn’t depend on the secrecy of our source code.” What do you think about Apple’s confidence?

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, there is a high chance that Intel can replace Qualcomm to become the main supplier for Apple starting this year! Scroll down for more information!

Intel to replace Qualcomm as Apple’s future Supplier!

It seems like Apple is up for a significant change in 2018. Regarding their chipset, this US tech giant has relied on Qualcomm to produce the processor for their models. However, their partnership turned sour last year when Apple accused Qualcomm of overcharging. In details, Apple stated that Qualcomm has increased the chipset’s price chips and refused to pay $1 billion in promised rebates. To reduce the cost of future iPhones production, Apple is now on the search for a new supplier.

Of all the company, Intel can be the next partner that Apple needs. Moreover, they can offer many benefits to Apple. Firstly, Intel has released a powerful modem XMM 7560. This processor can supports both GSM and CDMA; while the previous models only supported GSM connections. As a result, it can play a big role for Apple iPhones global launch. Secondly, as mentioned above, Apple might ditch Qualcomm due to their long-run battle that begun last year and lasted until now.

Intel

On the other hand, Intel is not a stranger when it comes to supplying Apple iPhone’s modems. Previous, they have been a supplier for the US smartphone manufacturers, but on a smaller scale. Furthermore, Apple is going to save more than $100 million in the next iPhone cycle by moving to cheaper modem chips, said by Nomura analyst Romit Shah. Additionally, Intel’s modem is going to support dual SIM and dual standby for future iPhones. On the contrary, Ming-Chi Kuo also mentioned about some risks from Apple and Intel’s partnership. There is a possibility that Intel may not be ready for 5G networking as quickly as Qualcomm.

Who is going to be Apple’s final choice: Qualcomm or Intel?

For now, Apple and Intel offer no comment on the claim. On the other hand, Qualcomm market shares have dropped 2% since the statement came out. We will keep you update on Apple’s final decision once more information released. Stay tuned!

Previously, Apple has been under the fire for admitting that they were throttling iPhone CPUs to prevent old batteries’ random shutdowns. As the compensate, the US company offers all their customers a significant discount for the battery replacements. In details, iPhone users now only need to pay $29 instead of the standard $79 fee.
