What to expect from Apple’s September 2018 Event A Potential Announcements Roundup! ByVaidyanathan Subramaniam-September 11, 2018.414 At its September 12 gathering, Apple will announce a bevy of new products. These include a new Apple Watch Series 4 new iPad Pros, an updated Mac Mini and a whole range of Apple-made accessories for iPhone X successors. The software updates revealed at Wwdc 2018 are also expected to be demonstrated on new hardware apart from system upgrades. Apple’s September Event is just around the corner and anticipates that customers and the press alike will be running high to see what Apple has in store. We’re sure you can’t wait to learn more about Apple’s latest products and what the future holds for iOs MacOs, and more. Here’s a roundup of leaks and expert views from the latest rumors. What to Expect from the September 2018 Apple Event?
In recent weeks we have seen details on some of the items expected to be announced at the upcoming Apple Event. These include the Apple Watch Series 4 new iPhone X successors a redesigned Mac Mini a thin-bezel iPad Pro and a range of accessories. Although anticipation is a good thing, let’s take a moment to see what we know so far, especially in the case of Apple.
Three iPhone X Successors As with most Apple activities, the introduction of new iPhones takes center stage in every year. Apple is going for a triple whammy this time by launching three iPhone models that will replace the latest iPhone X. Several iPhone models will be available in 5.8-inch 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch screen sizes from what we know so far. .415 .415 Figure 1 Cgtrader Photo Thanks. The 5.8-inch version is expected to be called ‘ iPhone Xs, ‘ while it is confirmed that the larger 6.5-inch model is named ‘ iPhone Xs Max’sport Oled screens6.1-inch, or ‘ iPhone Xc. ‘ This one should feature an Ips Lcd and debut at much lower prices.
No doubt the flagship iPhones will come at a high price. Back in 2016 Apple launched the iPhone Se to reach a much broader range of users. This phone took all of the components of an iPhone 6S and missed certain features like 3D touch and bundled it all in an iPhone 5 shell. Last year we saw a slight update which means we could see a new version of the iPhone Se at the September Event in Apple. .416.416 Figure 2 Bmobiled Photo Thanks. A string of leaks involving iPhone Sepossible Lcd display a few months back. Hopefully that model will maintain its current $349 price. We’re only one day out from the September Event at Apple so we’ll find out soon enough.
New iPad Pro Models
At the September 12 Media Event, Apple is said to be upgrading itsiPad Promodels. The new iPad Pro will be available in 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch models, featuring thin bezels and a Face I d support. They’ll also abandon the headphone jack and focus on a Lightning-to-3.5 mm connector instead. .418.418 An odd icon was found in one of the iOs 12 beta releases while thinking about thin bezels on the forthcoming iPad Pro. The icon shows an all-new iPad style with thin bezels at the top and no notch at the left. This means that Apple could find a way to keep all the top-placed sensors still at the edges, but without the notch on the iPhone X model that we currently have. Nevertheless it is also interesting to note that the current version of the iOs 12 beta moves the details in the status bar to the corner just like on the iPhone X. That’s why there’s a choice that still appears a noch. All we have to do is wait and see how skilful Apple engineers are.
iOs 12 MacOs Mojave tvOs 12 More
Apple’s upcoming operating systems are already quite familiar. Therefore we are sure that the tech giant headquartered in Cupertino will highlight some new features as well as how they work on the items revealed during the upcoming Media Event. .419 .419 The company plans to further improve this operating system when it comes to macOs Mojave. To see what’s on store here are all-new MacOs Mojave applications for MacOs featuresport iOs. Don’t worry that both Apple’s smartwatch and Apple Tv models will also get a whole slate of interesting software options. There’s for instance a new Walkie Talkie Modeoptional ‘ Hey Siri ‘ commandwhat’s new in tvOs 12. All in all, Apple continues to push the tech limits across 2018 which we are more than pleased to see.
Apple AirPower AirPods Accessories We should expect Apple to launch some new accessories alongside the new iPhones and Apple Watch as well. It is expected to announce the Apple AirPower wireless charging pad along with improvements to the AirPods wireless earphones. It’s expected that the new AirPods would feature noise cancelation and hands-free Siri activation. A 19W fast charger for quick charging is also expected to be bundled with the new iPhones.
A New MacBook Model
You do know that some of the company’s machines need upgrade if you’re looking to buy an Apple-made laptop. At least that is what Bloomberg is saying, it seems the company is well aware of this. Apple plans to release a new MacBook model according to this publication which will incorporate the design elements and functionality of the existing MacBook and MacBook Air. One possible explanation for this is the discontinuation of the current Air model in favor of a new entry-level Apple notebook. Figure 5 Business Insider courtesy picture. Among other features of this upcoming notebook we expect to see an enhanced Usb-C Lightning ports butterfly keyboard system as well as a Retina high definition display. If the company succeeds in providing all this for $1000 or less this could prove to be a very smart choice. Apple is currently in desperate need of delivering interesting products to educators and students. The currently available MacBook Air is unable to compete with the rivals of the industry with what is on sale in this price range.
A New Mac Mini
The fact that Apple is spending a lot of money in original programming is no secret. There have been rumors of a drama series based on the novels from the Foundation by Isaac Asimov. The exact nature of this service is however still unclear. .421.421 It should also be remembered that Apple has set up a Culver City California branch. This is a major hub for Tv and film that points to a path it business might take in the future. And finally there was a story about Apple services leading Eddy Cue stating that the company’s Tv app could be available on iOs and MacOs. Of example this being an Apple case during the course of the event be prepared for a few surprises. We’ll keep you updated with the latest developments from Apple’s event as it unfolds so stay tuned to our Apple Media Event live blog. Grip. Steve Durbin Isf: Only Ai-Based Security Solutions Can Battle Ai-Based Malware
ByGabriela Vatu-May 22 2019.422 Isf is one of the world’s leading independent safety and information risk management experts, and Steve Durbin has been its managing director for nearly a decade now. Since the Information Security Forum has its eyes on everything that happens in the cybersec field we wanted to find out more about what risks we are taking on how the world will change and more so we had a very interesting chat with Steve Durbin Isf, managing director. Steve Durbin: The speed and scope of threats to information security has continued to escalate over the past few years, undermining the credibility and legitimacy of today’s most respected multinational organisations. Businesses are struggling to cope with the quantum pace and sophistication of global cyber-attacks that organized cyber-crime syndicates are carrying out. In addition to exposing individuals ‘ personal data, the list of targets that we know have been successfully attacked in recent years contains a real Who’s Who of government business and technology including some of the most technically sophisticated organizations in the world. Moving forward companies of all sizes must be prepared to be attacked by multiple attackers at any time and place. Organizations that want to keep pace with these changes and remain financially viable must take action now or face serious consequences. With the pace and scope of the environment security threat evolving on a daily basis those organizations that don’t plan will be left with substantial reputational and financial harm. TechNadu: In your view, what are some of the biggest threats to our cybersecurity for businesses but also for individual internet users these days? Steve Durbin: Criminal organizations will continue their growth and become ever more sophisticated. Some companies are going to have origins in traditional criminal networks while others are going to emerge based on cyber crime. Organizations will also struggle to keep up with this increased complexity and the effect would expand worldwide with malware in general and ransomware becoming the leading means of attack in particular. Email related attacks like spam and phishing (including targeted spear phishing) are most widely used to get an initial foothold on the computer of a victim. Cyber criminals behind ransomware should concentrate on smart and personal computers as a way to spread targeted malware attacks. TechNadu: We’ve seen a spike in both in-company sessions and some driven bug bounty programs by specialist platforms. What are your thoughts on these programmes? Would you think we’ll see more white hackers regularly now that there’s a chance to better monetize their talent? Afterwards we will see fewer black hats or hackers that have turned ethical due to the existence of bug bounties? TechNadu: The IoT industry continues to rise but, apart from some big-named firms, we do not see better safety in most of these devices. Numerous cybersecurity experts are calling for even governments to enforce some kind of legislation. Would you think this would be a good idea? Steve Durbin: Companies are embracing smart devices with zeal, failing to realize that these systems are often design-insecure and thus present many opportunities for attackers. In addition, I expect the rapidly evolving IoT environment to be increasingly lacking in transparency with ambiguous terms and conditions that enable companies to use personal data in ways that customers did not intend to. Organizations may find it problematic to know what knowledge enters their networks or what is being secretly recorded and distributed by devices such as smart TVs or conference phones. When infringements occur or privacy violations are reported, companies will be held liable for insufficient data protection by regulators and consumers. The truth is that protection can be costly and those systems have never been designed with safety in mind. They were created to give information and process it at the lowest possible cost. However, by maintaining an open connection to the home computer of the person (a system that can in effect be linked to the network of an employer), it provides a gateway for intruders to inflict damage that goes well beyond the home devices of the owner. Securing these devices could become a suitable topic for government regulation. TechNadu: We’ve seen a rise in the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (Ai) into our lives through various devices that we use, whether we’re talking about personal assistants or our security instruments. Ai has been debated so much in fact that the singularity of many fears is just around the corner (when the truth is, of course, very different). Would you think in our daily lives we need more Ai implementations or should we draw a line somewhere instead? Steve Durbin: Attackers should take advantage of breakthroughs in Ai in the coming years to create malware that can learn from their current environment and adjust to discover new vulnerability. Such malware can surpass human hackers ‘ output by revealing information including mission-critical information assets and causing organizational and reputational financial damage. Many believe Ai will bring enormous benefits to society, particularly in areas such as research and healthcare. However, it will also be used in more damaging ways, one of which is to create malware that can alter computersThe price starts at $3500 although the release date is not yet specified. We can not say the press event that happened today in Microsoft was full of surprises. We are however pleased to see the company investing its time in the growth of its Surface product line. The company’s highly acclaimed Surface Studio is also getting a much-needed upgrade after unveiling the Surface Pro 6Surface Laptop 2. Ironically enough, close to two years ago Microsoft released the Surface Studio Pc. We can’t say it brought a groundbreaking concept to this machine but it still managed to check all the right boxes. Now the company is ready to produce this product, without affecting its elegant design already. The new Surface Studio 2 comes with the same 28-inch monitor as the original Pc with several significant improvements to the display software, as well as a set of new internals. The new display is 38 per cent clearer than the previous generation, according to Microsoft’s members, and it also comes with 22 per cent more contrast. The incredibly vivid monitor is powered by 13.5 million pixels and comes with a pressure response of 4096 levels-if communicating with the Surface Pen. And if you’re curious if it’s still possible to tilt the Surface Studio 2 have no doubts. By simply pulling it up or moving it down you can still play around with it and adjust the display to a certain height. What’s interesting to note is that the Surface Studio 2 is still being marketed for creative professionals as the ultimate tool. Now there’s an all-new Gpu that’s 50 percent faster than before and powered by the Pascal architecture based chip from Nvidia. This means tasks such as video processing in 3D modeling and even gaming should be simple tasks for this computer to manage. And if you’re a gamer, Surface Studio 2 also features built-in Xbox Wireless support, which means you can connect your Xbox One controller effortlessly. Last but not least, Surface Studio 2 now brings a high-performance 2Tb Ssd instead of the slower hybrid drive on the first version.The price starts at $3500 although the release date is not yet specified.
