Sometimes news of medium importance appears that does not deserve to be devoted to an entire article, so we present a weekly compiled article to make the reader aware of various news and make sure that when he follows us, he will not miss anything.
Qualcomm: Apple will not use our SIM cards in the future
"Kristano Amoun", CEO of Qualcomm, as well as Chief Financial Officer, George David, said that they are convinced that Apple decided to rely on the "modem" chips of their competitors in the next iPhone instead of their companies' products. And they said that they will continue to provide SIM cards for the old devices from Apple, but the next iPhone will not include their product. This statement comes as a great surprise not because of Apple's abandonment, but because the news said that Apple will rely on Intel by approximately 30% and not 100% as the statement implies, but it seems that Apple has been able to guarantee communication chips in large quantities, which made them take this step.
Samsung can manufacture the unbreakable screen
Samsung announced a new innovation which is the manufacture of an unbreakable OLED display. The company explained that the new screen includes the same characteristics as traditional OLED screens, but differs in the protection layer, as it includes a plastic layer embedded in it that resembles glass in its properties. Currently, companies rely on glass as a layer to protect the screens, and the most famous type of glass comes from Corning, "Gorilla Glass". Samsung said that the screen was able to successfully pass the US military tests, as it survived 26 falls from a distance of 120 cm without problems and was working efficiently in temperatures from minus 32 to 71 degrees Celsius, and this makes it suitable for work in all conditions. Samsung hinted at additional strength as it said it also survived the 180 cm drop test, but did not explain any details about this test. Samsung did not clarify when the screen will see the light and whether or not it will be added to the Note 9 that is expected to be announced next month, but it said that the screen is suitable for smart devices as well as military.
Huawei expects to sell 200 million phones in 2018 and threatens the status of Apple

Morgan Stanley: Apple is facing a delay in the manufacture of the 6.1-inch iPhone
A Morgan Stanley Center report said that according to their own sources, Apple is currently manufacturing the primary 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch iPhones, which are the two OLED versions, but it still faces a problem with 6.1-inch LCD screens and this problem is mainly caused by Apple's use of 0.3t LED lighting chips. Which will help it reduce the edges too as you target. The report said that Apple is 4 weeks behind schedule, a number less than 6 weeks, which was previously mentioned, but remains late in production. The center explained that if Apple is unable to solve this manufacturing problem, it may mean that it will launch the two versions of the OLED X and delay the launch of the cheaper LCD version for the month of October.
Apple is largely solving the heat problem of the i9 Mac
Last week we talked that Apple is facing a problem in the version of Mac 2018 with the i9 processor, where a specialist published a video in which he explained that the MacBook cannot withstand the power of the processor and thus reduces performance to avoid overheating. This week, the same person posted a video explaining that Apple had contacted him and asked for information about the problem, after which a Mac update was released. After updating, the same person ran tests and found 30-35% improvement in performance. The owner of the problem explained that the processor is still not working at its full capacity but the improvement that has been made is quite acceptable. Watch the video
Apple may require PD 3.0 support for the upcoming iPhone chargers
Reports indicated that Apple intends to add a new obstacle for manufacturers of PD chargers with the upcoming iPhone. The report said that although Apple will use the recognized technology PD just like the current Mac and iPhone X and 8 devices, but it said that it will adopt the standards of USB PD 3.0 while the majority of current chargers apply PD 2.0 and this means that it will not work with the next iPhone. . It is reported that Power Delivery technology is a charging technology available to everyone because it is from the USB Foundation, so Apple is afraid of the availability of poor chargers that cause its phone to malfunction, so it decided to support the third generation of standards because it is the highest, most complex and difficult for companies that manufacture chargers of unknown source.
Samsung continues to mock the iPhone X
After last week's satirical video of internet speed, Samsung published a series of new satirical videos from the iPhone X, which are:
Fast charging: Although the speed of X in fast charging surpasses the S9 and the latter uses an old technology dating back 3 years or more, Samsung mocked the lack of a fast charger in the box, as in the following video:
The second video makes fun of the lack of an audio port
The third video makes fun of the iPhone X camera because it got a score of 97 in DXOMark and was outperformed by the S9 +, which got 99 points (we hope Huawei does not respond with its P20 Pro phone, which got 109 points) Watch the video:
Sony unveils the latest imaging sensor in the world
Sony, the world's leading maker of camera sensors, has announced the latest IMX586 sensor, which supports 48-megapixel photography. She said it supports a 0.8 μm compressed pixel, and the company said that this does not mean a decrease in performance, as the 1.6 μm pixel quality is equivalent to a 12-megapixel camera, which is a very high number. The company explained that the new sensor supports a lot of updates in the video as well, not static images, such as 2160p up to 90fps quality (iPhone X is currently the highest and supports up to 60fps for 4K), and Sony published an image to clarify the quality difference using the new sensor (previous image). It is reported that Apple and Samsung companies rely on Sony camera sensors in their phones, including the X and Samsung S9, so they are expected to support this sensor in the future, perhaps in the X3 and Samsung S10 or S20.
