Apple releases iOS-style 'Night Shift' mode in the new MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 developer beta

Macbook

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 update to public beta testers for testing purposes, two days after seeding the first 10.12.4 beta to developers and three days after releasing MacOS Sierra 10.12.3.

Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the 10.12.4 MacOS Sierra beta through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store.

Those who want to be a part of Apple's beta testing program can sign up to participate through the beta testing website, which gives users access to both iOS and MacOS Sierra betas. Betas should not be installed on a primary machine due to the potential for instability.

Night shift

MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 brings iOS's popular Night Shift mode to the Mac, allowing users to cut down on blue light exposure. Believed to affect sleep by upsetting the body's circadian rhythm, blue light is thought to be more harmful than yellow light.

With Night Shift, the Mac's display automatically shifts from cool to warm at sunset and then shifts back at sunrise. Users can also set custom times for the display's colors to shift, or toggle the effect on manually. A Toggle to turn Night Shift on is available in the Notification Center, and Siri can also be used to activate the feature. MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 also includes Shanghainese dictation support, cricket scores for Siri, and PDFKit improvements.

Iphone 8 could come with long anticipated solution: Wireless Charging

Expected iphone 8

iPhone 8 is shaping up to be one of the most superb Apple smartphones to date if current rumors are to be believed.

According to the stream of leaks, the iPhone 8 will have glass panels on the front and rear of the device, with a small curve to the borderless OLED display.

Apple is also expected to drop its quintessential Home Button, hiding the fingerprint device technology underneath the glass display instead.

And now additional clues have emerged that Apple is planning to incorporate innovative wireless charging technology into its next smartphone.

Unlike rival devices from Google, Samsung, HTC, and Huawei, which mostly use the qi open interface standard to power their inductive charging – the technology enforced by Apple appears like a far higher solution.

Devices using the qi standard, just like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, are only capable of wireless charging over distances of up to four centimeters (1.6 inches).

Samsung wireless charging

For most users, that means positioning the phone on the charging selected pad, which means that the only advantage of the so-called wireless charging – is the reality you ought not to plug a cable into the device.

According to the current whispers from Cupertino, Apple has something rather more formidable planned.

The company is rumoured to be operating with wireless charging company Energous, that developed a wire-free charging solution dubbed WattUp capable of charging devices from up to four metres away (15-feet).

I cannot tell you who it's, however I will virtual guarantee that you just have merchandise from this company on your person, sitting on your table, or at home
Steve Rizzone, Energous chief executive officer

WattUp technology will be included during a wide range of electronics, including smartphones, tablets, wearables, cameras, wireless keyboard, computer mice, remote controls, and more, according to the company.

As long as any of these devices are within four metres of the transmitter, the device can charge its battery – as if it had been plugged into the electric outlet.

The radio frequency (RF) system uses an identical system to WiFi to deliver the safe wire-free charging solution.

Unlike the qi charging pads used for phones like the Galaxy S7 Edge, WattUp can still charge your phone while it's in motion – as long as it never moves more than four metres faraway from the transmitter, of course.

Although, Energous has never confirmed it's co-operating with Apple to implement the Inovative technology into the iPhone, it definitely hasn't done something to dispel the rumours.

Watt Technology can be added to different type of electronics

Energous this week made an appearance at the CES technology exposition in Las Vegas, showcasing new wireless charging pads.

The last time the company was at the exposition was back in 2015, when it promised to ship its long-distance WattUp RF technology.

However these plans were placed on hold when it signed a "key strategic partnership" resulting in a revived focus on miniaturising the charging technology before shipping it.

The deal made by Energous also allowed its mysterious partner to be the primary to ship the charging technology inside smartphones, laptops, tablets, and certain wearables and accessories. That meant the plans showcased by Energous at CES 2015 had to be placed on hold.

When pushed concerning the identity of the partner who will be first to market with the WattUp RF technology, Energous chief executive officer Steve Rizzone said the partnership is with "one of the biggest consumer electronic firms in the world. 

iPhone 8

"I cannot tell you who it is, however, I can virtual guarantee that you just have products from this company on your person, sitting on your table, or at home."

According to Energous, up to 12 completely different receiver devices will be juggled by the system at the same time.

So in theory, your Apple Watch, Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse, iPhone 8 and iPad pro might all be at the same time charging whenever they're within the same area as a WattUp RF transmitter.

iPhone 8 without home button

So, while you are sitting at your table at work – your iPhone 8 are going to be charging within the background, making it very tough to find yourself low on battery.

Airports, coffee outlets, libraries, and more, might all implement the transmitters, which means your iPhone would forever be charged.

Fuelling the rumours that Energous signed an exclusivity deal with Apple, a brand new report from fast Company, Apple supplier Dialog has partnered with Energous.

As part of the new deal, Energous received a staggering $10 million investment from chipset maker Dialog Semiconductor last month.

Apple said to be seeking lower taxes as to start manufacturing in India

Company contacted the industry ministry last month asking for lower import and manufacturing duties, says sources.

New Delhi: Apple Inc. needs India to offer assessment concessions on iPhones that the organization plans to produce in the nation, a man with learning of the matter said.

The organization contacted the industry ministry a month ago looking for lower import and assembling obligations, the individual said, requesting that not be distinguished referring to rules on addressing the media. The concessions ought to proceed even after the government reveals its products and enterprises tax which is relied upon to subsume every current duty, the individual said.

The Cupertino, California-based maker of iPads and iPhones is quick to kick-begin operations on the planet's quickest developing telephone showcase as growth moderates in nations, for example, China. Apple trails rivals offering less expensive handsets in the $2 trillion (Dh7.34 trillion) Indian economy and delivering gadgets in the nation could quicken the take off of its notable retail locations to catch thriving interest on the planet's second-most populated country.

Apple's way toward a greater cut of Indian deals hasn't been smooth. Its application to open stores was dismisses as it fell foul of nearby decides that normally require no less than 30 for every penny of segments to be made locally before an outside organization can offer through their own particular outlets. Apple makes the vast majority of its items in China and doesn't at present meet that criteria. 

Apple's representative in India, and Mattu J.P. Singh, a representative at India's Commerce and Industry Ministry didn't instantly react to messages looking for input.

How to Fix iPhone Bug that breaks Message App

Recently, another bug that handicaps the Messages application on any iPhone by sending a solitary instant message has been found. 

The imperfection renders iOS gadgets unequipped for opening the Message application, making it difficult to peruse writings or iMessages, and the application keeps on smashing notwithstanding when shutting it or on the off chance that you've rebooted the telephone. 

The bug includes sending a vCard - a transferable Address Book contact - with such a variety of lines of code that the Messages application can't handle it.

At the point when Messages opens the message it tries to open the vCard, which has a large number of lines of malevolent code contrasted with a few hundred on a customary contact, and stops the application with a white screen.

Since Messages dependably tries to open the latest instant message when it is stacked, it will continue attempting to open the malevolent message notwithstanding when the application is shut or the entire telephone is rebooted. 

The content, found by developer vincedes3, bears a similarity to the "Successful Power" content of a year ago that would crash telephones with a line of Arabic content and a video bug found a month ago. Apple normally settles these bugs rapidly in redesigns to iOS.

How to fix it

On the off chance that you've been influenced, all is not lost. You just need to utilize one of a few fixes to take the message off the highest point of your inbox. 

The most effortless path is to click on this link, which we have tried, to open the window for sending another message, squeezing wipe out and erasing the culpable message. 

On the other hand, you can send yourself a message in Siri, or ask another person to, which will permit you to open the new message rather than the pernicious one.

For devices (including iPad) where the fix link does not work, ask Siri to send a message to the victim and click on the text.

Apple releases iOS 10.2.1 beta 2 for developers

Apple has released iOS 10.2.1 beta 2 for developers. The update follows the public release of iOS 10.2 last week and the first iOS 10.2.1 beta as well. iOS 10.2 included new redesigned emojis, the TV app for US users, a couple of new screen effects in Messages, amongst other enhancements.

Apple seeded the iOS 10.2.1 beta for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch today to developers with build number 14D15, up from 14D10. iOS 10.2.1 is also available for public beta testers with a release usually a few days behind developer releases.

Update will be available when we see any significant changes to Apple’s mobile operating system in this release.

Will the iPhone 8 ditch glass for PLASTIC? Rumours say Apple will use the material to create a curved screen

The iPhone 8 could come with a radical new design, according to the latest reports. 

Apple's upcoming handset could be set to ditch the current aluminium and glass design in favour of a plastic OLED screen that curves 'all over'.

The report also appears to confirm previous rumours that Apple will be introduced three phone models in 2017.  

iPhone 7

The OLED version of the new iPhone will all be curved as Apple ordered all plastic OLED - not glass - from Samsung Display. 'Samsung is capable of supplying a little less than 100 million units of curved OLED displays to Apple,' a source familiar with the matter told The Korea Herald.  The reports suggests that Apple will launch three designs - a flagship model with the curved screen and two that more closely resemble the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Until now, Apple has relied on Corning's durable Gorilla Glass for its iPhone screens. It's not clear whether the plastic would be used alone, or whether it could be covered with a glass layer, notes 9to5mac.com.  Earlier this month, rumours emerged claiming that the iPhone 8 could feature a curved OLED.A curved display could enable Apple to produce a handset with an edge-to-edge screen with practically no bezels.  This was the latest in a series of reports claiming that Apple will feature a curved screen on its next handset, which is expected to launch in autumn 2017. 'Recent reports point to Interflex, BH, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics as suppliers of the components, which will be used by Samsung Display to manufacture the panels used in the iPhone 8,' reports ExtremeTech. 

9 best new phones 2017 | New Android phones, new iPhones, new Windows phones

Due for an upgrade? Try not to consent to anything until you've seen our rundown of the best new phones coming in 2017. We've gathered together the best new Android phones, best new iPhones and best new Windows phones, including the best new Samsung phones, best new Sony phones, best new HTC phones, best new LG phones, and others. In addition what are the best new phones out at this point?

Apple iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus 

Apple is set to pull out all the stops on the iPhone's tenth commemoration, which could go some approach to compensate during the current year's generally minor upgrade. A mix of hardware and design changes ought to make the iPhone 8 the most radical new iPhone to date. 

The iPhone 8 could be the iPhone with which Jony Ive at last gets his own specific manner: an iPhone that looks like a solitary sheet of glass with an edge-to-edge OLED screen. As indicated by an Apple provider, no less than one of the organization's new iPhones for 2017 will have a glass body. The TouchID scanner is thought to be covered up inside the glass, while the physical Home catch will be no more. 

Different bits of gossip propose the iPhone 8 will highlight remote charging surprisingly, and conceivable biometric elements, for example, facial acknowledgment or iris checking. It'll run the Apple A11 processor and movement co-processor, and be mischievously quick. 

One iPhone we won't see in 2017 is an upgrade to the iPhone SE, which Apple purportedly fears may hurt its iPhone 7 deals.

HTC 11

HTC has launched its new telephones at MWC lately, however skirted the show in 2016 and held its own particular occasion to divulge the HTC 10 (imaged). We anticipate that its successor will be launched in March/April 2017 and to have the upgrades you'd expect: a quicker processor, more RAM and - ideally - better battery life. 

An early leak recommends HTC is going to switch its fortunes with the HTC 11 - on the off chance that you thought the last two HTC leads were a bit of drilling, plan to be overwhelmed by the HTC 11. Assumed True, it will have a Snapdragon 835 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of capacity, a higher-limit battery with Quick Charge 4.0 and a 5.5in Quad-HD screen. That is a top of the line spec, so we'd figure that the standard model would have less RAM and storage capacity.

LG G6 

LG is rumoured to ditch its modular design for the G6 and potentially adopt a new glass front and rear. In common with the Samsung Galaxy S-series with which it competes it is likely to feature fast wireless charging and see a processor and graphics bump to ready the phone for VR.

One of the most interesting rumours about the LG G6 is that it will feature a new type of iris scanner that uses the same sensor as the phone's front camera, a space- and cost-saving measure that is made possible through use of a special filter.

Microsoft Surface Phone 

Surface Phone rumours have been few and far between, leading some to think it's nothing more than a myth. But it was recently revealed by Wired that Microsoft Corporate VP Panos Panay has been working on a prototype of a new phone. 

Should it truly exist, the Surface Phone is expected to arrive in 2016, with a 5.5in Quad-HD AMOLED display, 4GB of RAM, 64- and 128GB storage options (with microSD support), a 64-bit Intel processor and 21Mp rear- and 8Mp front cameras. The Surface Phone could also get a Surface Pen and a USB-C port.

Microsoft is expected to hold an event in early 2017 to unveil its updated Surface Pro 5, so this is the next possible release date for the Surface Phone.

OnePlus 4

OnePlus has just announced its OnePlus 3T, which is an upgraded version of the OnePlus 3 with a processor and battery boost, plus a new selfie camera. It's an improvement sure, but OnePlus 3 fans won't be in a rush to upgrade.

More exciting for OnePlus fans, then, will be the OnePlus 4 expected in April/May 2017. Rather than the Snapdragon 821 this phone will likely get the Snapdragon 835. We could also see the 5.5in full-HD display upgraded to a Quad-HD model.

Other rumours suggest the OnePlus 4 will come with 8GB of RAM, a 21- or 23Mp camera and a 3,500- to 4,000mAh battery with Dash Charge. One thing we're sure of is that it will run OxygenOS, a custom UI that will be based on Android 7.0 Nougat.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Following the Note 7 problems there are a lot of whispers about Samsung at the moment. The failure of the Note 7 has badly bruised its reputation, and it's hurt its bottom line. Some say it will look to mend its reputation by announcing the Note 8 in February 2017 alongside the Galaxy S8, while others say it will drop its Note line altogether. Samsung thinks differently, and it isn't about to give up on its second annual cash cow just yet. We'd expect to see the Note 8 in August 2017.

Surefire specs include a 5.7in Quad-HD or SuperAMOLED screen with S Pen support, a powerful processor and RAM combo capable of the very best mobile VR experience, a dual camera, waterproofing and more.

Samsung Galaxy S8 & Galaxy S8 Plus

Samsung traditionally holds an Unpacked event in which it unveils its new S-series flagship the day before MWC. In 2017 this trade show runs from 27 February to 2 March, so we expect to see a new Galaxy S8 on Sunday 26 February 2017. Expect it to go on sale in early March 2017.

For its now-discontinued Galaxy Note 7 Samsung merged its 'Edge' and standard models, so perhaps we'll see the same with the merging of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge. We think there will still be two Galaxy S8 models, but it will only be the size differentiating their screens. In which case the S8 edge might instead be known as the S8 Plus, or similar. In any case you should expect more of the same metal and glass front/back design it introduced last year in the S6 and in 2016 has extended to the A-series.

A big change in the design, though, is likely to be the loss of the Home button, with the fingerprint scanner built into the now 'bezel-less' (at least on three edges) screen. The headphone jack could go too, with Samsung expected to favour USB-C for digital audio.

When it arrives, you can expect the S8 to be the fastest phone money can buy, with a top-of-the-range processor and 6GB (or even 8GB) of RAM. There will more than likely be a super-high-resolution 5.1in screen - Samsung may even move up from Quad-HD to Ultra-HD, which is all the more likely given the importance being placed on VR in Android Nougat, which this phone will run - although there are rumours we could see a larger 5.5in or even 5.7in panel.

Now that Samsung has discontinued its Note 7, it's going to want to make the Galaxy S8 an absolute belter to mend its reputation.

Sony Xperia Z6

Sony neglected to announce the Sony Xperia Z6 at MWC 2016, instead revealing a new Xperia X family comprising the Sony Xperia X and Sony Xperia XA. But this doesn't mean the Sony Xperia Z6 is dead: never say never, says the company, which has since clarified that it isn't ruling out the possibility at some point in the future.

Google Pixel and Pixel XL   

The first phones 'Made by Google' (and actually made by HTC, but we won't worry about the details) are the new Google Pixel and Pixel XL. The Pixel XL will be especially interesting now that Samsung has discontinued its Galaxy Note 7 after it was unable to rectify the battery issues.

The Pixel and Pixel XL are in many respects the same phone, with a larger, higher-resolution screen, a higher-capacity battery and the price tag separating the two. 

Headline features include the new Google Assistant, which allows for natural dialogue between Google and a user to get the information they need, a 12.3Mp camera that has won the highest ever rating from DXOMark Mobile and is supported by unlimited cloud storage for your original resolution (even 4K) video and photos, support for VR built-in and the new Google Duo video-calling app.
