$ 5 billion lawsuit against Google over Chrome
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Google, demanding it pay $ 5 billion in compensation for breaching their privacy. Users say that Google ignores Incognito Mode and continues to track users and monitor their use even after activating it, which allowed the company to know a lot of their lives and exploit them in advertising.
For its part, Google denied this, but explained that it appears to users a message every time they open a tab in Incognito Mode and this message says that some sites may be able to collect information about you and know your identity. By this, Google is trying to justify the essence of the complaint that the sites know who they are and target them with propaganda and advertisements, and Google itself correctly shows "Google ads" targeting them even when they are in an incognito position, ie learning who they are.
Apple is trying to do without human beings
A report by The Information newspaper revealed that Apple since 2012 has been trying to dispense with humans in matters of assembling and installing devices, but it has faced failure after failure as it has not achieved acceptable success in this field of "assembly". The report said that the main obstacle is the manufacture of a robot capable of connecting nails, and this matter is very difficult and complicated, especially since Apple uses very small "nails". The same applies to sticking components with glue, as Apple puts very difficult specifications, as the glue should not exceed a millimeter of the required stain. It is reported that Apple is currently relying on a robot called "Daisy" that can dismantle 200 devices per hour and sort components for recycling, but the assembly did not reach the efficiency of any robot to compete with trained Chinese workers.
Apple suppliers develop OLED display with LTPO support
A report by DigiTimes revealed that Apple suppliers are now developing OLED screens with support for LTPO technology that Apple previously provided in the watch. The LTPO technology allows the screen to significantly reduce energy consumption, as the operation and stopping of each individual is managed in a more efficient way than the traditional OLED, which gives a longer battery life, and this is what Apple will need when introducing 5G phones or to provide the always-on-display feature, as Apple does not want Providing it in the same traditional way with the same traditional energy consumption (which is low and not large), but Apple wants the lowest possible consumption.
Apple begins manufacturing the iPhone 12 July-August
A report by DigiTimes revealed that Apple intends to start manufacturing the iPhone 12 (6.1-inch screen) during the coming months of July or August. The report said that although there are 4 versions of the phones, Apple will start manufacturing a month before its disclosure, usually Apple launches the new device in September. It is reported that the iPhone 12 with a 6.1-inch screen is the one that will come with the LG screen. Perhaps there are obstacles in manufacturing, and this will push Apple to delay the start of industrialization.
Apple asks LG to increase the manufacture of iPad screens
A Korean newspaper report revealed that Apple asked LG to increase the quantities of screens that Apple had previously agreed with to manufacture for the iPad. The report said that previously, Apple expected sales of all devices to decrease, but it seems that there is good news and an improvement in orders, so it sent requests to increase production. The report said that LG, because it is not the only supplier of screens, seeks to fulfill Apple’s requests not to lose it to Sharp or BOE, so if it cannot save, its competitors will get its share.
It is reported that Apple sent requests for OLED screens from LG as well, and the company is seeking to meet them.
