Sometimes news of medium importance appears that does not deserve to be devoted to an entire article, so we decided to present a weekly aggregated article to make the reader aware of various news and make sure that when he follows us, nothing will be missed.
Apple announces a vulnerability discovery program with bonuses of up to $ 200
Apple announced that it will start its own rewards program for detecting vulnerabilities, both in operating systems and in hardware. Its program will consist of 5 cash prizes starting from 25 thousand dollars to discover errors in what Apple calls the sandbox for protecting user information in applications, 50 thousand dollars to protect i-Cloud, and other software errors that allow senior information, and 100 thousand dollars to extract protected information By the therapist. And up to $ 200 for serious security holes. This announcement comes after the rapid release of the Apple system jailbreak.
Complementing the news, a private company called Exodus Intelligence has appeared, which works in the field of protection, offering hackers up to 500 thousand dollars to discover the vulnerabilities, a number that is many times what Apple offers. The company deals with research centers and thus it provides errors and loopholes for companies working in the field of protection.
IPhone, with a glass cover
Reports have surfaced that Foxconn, a major supplier to Apple, is working on new cases made of glass. Apple is currently using aluminum in its devices and Foxconn may be working on this type of packaging to supply it to Apple. Generally, this news contradicts the rumor that the upcoming Apple phone will have a flexible screen. But it coincides with old news that Apple is considering returning to protect the device with glass, such as 4 and 4s (the flexible or glass-protected screen is for the iPhone next year and not the 7 that will be released next month)
A video showing details of Apple's new headquarters
A video on YouTube showing the details of Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, California, which will be completed later this year and staff will begin working on it beginning in 2017. Apple will build parks and water pools in the middle of the headquarters. It will build 100 square feet of sports centers, tennis and basketball courts, staff car spaces and a major research and development center. There are also many facilities, and you can watch them in the video
Samsung will not make Apple processors now
TSMC, the Taiwanese company, has become the main and only manufacturer of Apple processors found in iOS devices and Apple TV. Last year there were two manufacturers, Samsung, 40% and TSMC, 60%. This year, the Taiwanese company presented its plan for the upcoming A10 processors, and the company said it would be 20% faster and several other improvements.
Breaking into Apple's headquarters
Police have arrested one of 3 people who tried to infiltrate Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California, this morning. According to ABC7, the police followed the three people inside Apple headquarters until they went to their car and tried to escape, and then the police arrested one of them and the other two fled. Residents say there is a heavy police presence in the area.
Apple achieved the highest laptop sales compared to the previous quarter
According to analysis by TrendForce, Mac notebooks, which include the MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro, achieved sales up 30.3%, which is 3.3 million units, compared to 2.5 million units in the previous quarter. Acer achieved the second place with an increase of 19%, and Toshiba achieved the least sales, a decrease of 40.7%. The percentage of Apple in the market is 8.6% and this is what makes many expect that Apple will launch the MacBook Pro this year with new specifications.
It is noteworthy that the report is considered one of the digital deceptions because the correct and fair comparison is in the corresponding quarter, so that circumstances are identical and not in the previous quarter. In general, compared to the first half of 2016 with the same half of the previous year, Apple showed a decline of 23.4%, which is the second worst result on the list after Toshiba.
IPhone 7 is coming on September 7th

Apple gets approval to start its renewable energy business
The electrek website stated that Apple submitted its application to enter the renewable energy market last June and registered its trademark Apple Energy LLC, and Apple received approval. Apple is powered by solar energy and has large cell panels that operate its buildings, and for this its activity will not be large in the beginning, but will only sell the remaining energy from its energy farms, but this does not prevent us from seeing Apple enter the field completely in the coming years.
Google eliminates flash permanently
Google officially announced that it will eliminate support for Flash in its browser "Chrome" and thus rely on HTML5 technology. Google stated in its statement that 90% of flash on websites works in a way that slows down websites and reduces their speed. So, starting with version 53 of Chrome, which will be released next month, the flash will be blocked automatically and relying on HTML5 for its speed, high performance, low internet consumption, and device battery improvement. Google indicated that as of version 55 in December, HTML5 will be the default for opening websites except for sites that only support flash, and only then will a message appear asking you to activate it for this site.

Thank you. I wish you good luck, and many benefits and news, Isaac
Is there anything new about the next iPad?
On the contrary, brother Ziad, who is familiar with technology news knows that the iPhone screen is substandard by virtue of the large screen
Although I mean the regular iPhone with the suspension, it has a resolution of 750, and this accuracy is weak for those who have previously tried FHD screens
In all honesty, I hope the iPhone returns to glass like the iPhone 4, as well as better than metal and lighter weight
Featured news. Thank you so much
On the contrary, it is known that the iPhone XNUMX Plus screen is one of the best screens ever, as are the iPad screens
The iPhone, the small version, can actually say this, but to be fair, Samsung has innovated in screens
Device devices, but do not forget that these superior screens negatively affect the battery
Apple is offering huge sums to discover loopholes, and this is normal so that you can eliminate them, but why does another company offer larger sums to hackers to discover those loopholes !!! What is the benefit for it ?????
It is possible that it detects security systems and sells them to companies
true
Various and great news, thank you.
Sweet
By following most of the technical sites, however, the accuracy of the next iPhone screen has not been addressed, as this part suffers from a great delay between it and its competitors, noting that the number of screen pixels is almost the same since the release of the iPhone 4
I hope to hear Yvonne Islam's comment on this topic 😘
