Apple's 2018 iPhone to use L shaped batteries from LG Chem: Report


Apple currently receives batteries for its iPhones from Samsung SDI, LG Chem, China's ATL and Japan-based Murata manufacturing company. LG Chem is said to be supplying all batteries for iPhone 9, slated to launch in second half of 2018. This is in stark contrast to Apple's current strategy of sticking to multiple suppliers. Apple is widely rumoured to introduce three new iPhones at its September event this year. Most reports suggest that there will be a redesigned OLED iPhone likely to debut as iPhone 8 alongside iterative updates to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The OLED iPhone is said to feature a 5.8-inch display with thinner bezels and a function area that will serve as a window for app shortcuts and notifications.
The smartphone is also rumoured to introduce features like 3D sensing facial recognition system and vertically mounted dual camera for augmented regulations. A Morgan Stanley analyst recently said that the 2017 iPhone will bring the most meaningful features and technologies in the history of the iPhone.

50 Smartphone Blogs to Watch

50 Smartphone Blogs to Watch There's quite a collection of good and colorful blogs that track iPhones, Android devices, BlackBerries and other  smartphones  and no shortage of overlapping coverage among them (How many different "scoops" on the  Android-powered Motorola Devour phone did I come across today?). Some are written by professional reporters, others by unapologetic geeks and others by thinly-veiled marketers. Here's a spin through 50 of these  mobile phone  blogs, excluding more general gadget sites and including a few from my employer, IDG General Smartphones BGR (Boy Genius Report) : The mysterious Boy Genius and friends blog about mobile gadgets from Apple, RIM and others, and more often than not, are the first ones out with the information. Blog posts cover everything from the latest device rumors to straight financial news. One sign that this is a go-to site: The hundreds of comments posted by readers on the site's blog entries. C...

Facebook’s rumored smart speaker would be DOA

Facebook’s rumored smart speaker would be DOA If Facebook is planning to make a smart speaker, it should really reconsider. A report in  Digitimes  today  says that  Facebook’s Building 8 research group  is developing a smart speaker with a 15-inch touch panel. There are lots of reasons to be skeptical of this:  Digitimes  has a mixed track record on tech rumors; supply chain sources can misidentify projects or describe early tests that don’t make it to market; Facebook doesn’t have a voice assistant yet; and a 15-inch screen on a speaker seems kind of ridiculous. Asked for comment, a Facebook representative said, “We don’t have anything to share at this time.” All that being said, it still seems entirely possible that Facebook would want to get in on the smart speaker game. Facebook doesn’t have a role in the smart home yet, despite having its tendrils in so many other facets of our lives. And even though Amazon has a strong early lead, th...

The Machines Are Learning To Gamble Like No Human Can When it comes to betting, sports is all data. Since the 1970s, baseball has been revolutionized by the Society for American Baseball's (SABR) unique understanding of statistics. Now a company is attempting to utilize the vast wealth of data available in sports for gambling purposes, with an AI at the heart of its operation. Stratagem is a British company that takes bets on soccer games. Currently, it employs some 65 human experts who study matches across the globe and uses machine learning to automate parts of the process of betting, like figuring out when people like to gamble the most. But what's down the pike, founder Andreas Koukorinis tells potential investors and  The Verge , is an AI that can watch a game in real time, and, with thousands upon thousands of data points, predict who can win. "They're short duration, repeatable, with fixed rules," Koukorinis  tells   The Verge . "S...
