Yesterday, Samsung announced the new Galaxy S22 series of devices. The announcement included the following devices:
My phone Galaxy S22 and S22+
The two phones come with a design that is very similar to last year’s design, but with the screen being completely flat in both, the design also comes with a renewal in the edges of the device and a slightly smaller size, and finally Samsung got rid of the “chin” in the front edge of the phone to become the edges completely the same in size like the iPhone -fone. As for other innovations, the phones come with a Snapdragon 8 generation 1 processor in North America and a new Exynos 2200 processor in the rest of the world. We do not yet know its performance compared to the Snapdragon processor, as it usually comes with worse performance and battery…
The company’s focus at the conference was largely on cameras and build quality, as it rearranged the cameras, increasing the size of the main camera sensor to 50 megapixels, and reducing the size of the zoom camera sensor, in addition to the presence of violent zoom known from the past year, and the company also says that Gorilla Glass Victus+ will add a layer Significantly stronger protection for the screen and the back of the phone.

This device finally comes to eliminate the Galaxy Note series, it comes with a design very similar to what we are used to from that series with edges and a round screen on the edges, and it comes with the S pen inside the device with all the features of the pen that were in the Note devices before. As for the other differences for his two brothers, he has a brighter screen and the ability to increase the RAM to 12 GB when increasing the storage space. The cameras also come with a better ability to shoot video at night, except that it is very similar to the other two devices from the inside.

Tab S8 Ultra
Finally, Samsung announced several tablets of the type Tab S8, the most exciting of which is the Ultra, which has a 14.6-inch screen! That is, it is larger than my computer screen. Want a tablet this big?
The device comes at a price of approximately 8000 AED.
RealityOS for augmented reality from Apple
A developer found in the software store code hints of a new system from Apple called RealityOS, which is likely to be used to power the new augmented reality glasses from Apple that the tech community has been waiting for for some time.

Facebook's mess with the European Union
Several newspapers circulated an internal advertisement in Meta (Facebook), saying that the company may “have to” not provide the Facebook and Instagram applications in the European Union due to the recent European Union security requirements related to the request to save user data on servers within Europe.

However, Meta later announced that it did not intend to threaten the European Union and that it did not plan to withdraw its applications from the European Union.

Despite Apple's continuous attempt to pressure US decision makers, a draft bill has been completed in the US Senate to force Apple to allow users to download apps outside of the App Store. Do you see the project completed? Or will Apple succeed in eliminating it? What do you think, my friend? Do you want to download apps from outside the App Store?
Warcraft is coming to the App Store
I still remember my childhood days in Al Dhaid, Sharjah, when I used to visit an internet café to find everyone playing World Of Warcraft together on computers, and since then I know that this game has a huge audience.

Many have wondered why there is a bump in the screens of the new Mac devices without the presence of the face print technology, but the remnants in the Mac system code indicate that Apple was already planning to add a face print to these devices and it seems that the plans have been canceled, perhaps due to technical problems of some kind.

Hi
I want to get an iPad, is it better to wait a month or two?
I laugh at some people who say we don't want to download apps from outside the App Store for safety. You're crazy. Don't download. Nobody hit you on the hand and said download outside the App Store. Keep your phone safe. By the way, I bought the phone with my own money from Apple. What does it have to do with them forcing me to use the App Store?
Because she does not give me the phone for free in order to force me as if you bought a car for an imaginary amount and you cannot change things for her. Understand who does not want to carry, does not carry
And then, have mercy on us, Your Highness
I felt that your data is important guys, just connect to the internet, your data is in the mirage, your data runs through servers, and these servers are hackable, for example, Google, the Facebook company, which published 25,000,000 mobile numbers in Saudi Arabia a while ago. The App Store Sell your data, type your number in the number directory, you will find your name is there, how did your name come to the number directory, why call them in the end, a nice thing that I can download applications outside the App Store to download YouTube without ads, and I will kill you from the disgusting YouTube ads instead of a subscriber In the stores, but I don't expect Apple to let me download the clothes that I have in mind, and thank you
Even though I am an iPhone user
But honestly, I say the S22 is very cool 👍🏻
I don't support apps outside of the Apple Store
Samsung devices will come with a Snapdragon processor in Saudi Arabia, not an Exynos processor
I did not understand the refusal of some to allow downloading from outside the Apple Store under the pretext of insecurity?! You are not obligated to download from outside the Apple Store so you can still have the security you want,, and let someone else take the risk of their own, they won't hurt you 🤷🏻 ♂️ Nervousness for something 🤣 Funny
What do you think, Ahmed Al-Hamdani? Do you want to download apps from outside the App Store?
Frankly, I cannot judge until I see the nature and type of these applications and the extent to which we need them. In general, I think that the diversity of sources is a good thing, while making sure that these applications are free of malware that may harm everything that Apple has worked for over the past years with regard to the security of its software system
And do not deprive people of their things
To break Apple’s monopoly, yes, I support allowing downloading applications from outside the store, although it is dangerous in terms of security and the like, but we should not remain hostages when Apple’s greed forever, because it opposes this issue under the pretext of safety, but in fact lies behind this argument the monopoly of profits from its favour.
Applications from outside the Store is something new to the Apple system and it will be somewhat nice despite the seriousness of the matter related to malicious software..
No to apps outside the Apple Store
This is what I have been waiting for for years and many more
Imagine buying a car for a certain amount of money and you can't change a single penny in it. Is that reasonable?! Of course not. There are applications outside the store, provided they are safe. If there is a supervisory authority, then that is excellent.
Thank you for the mention dear 😉
Yes, the monopoly should be dismantled, and the siege should be broken. Welcome to applications from outside the Apple Store.
The store guarantees the safety of applications from violating Apple's terms to protect the user
But after Apple developed the system, as it monitors the work of the application and informs the user if it exceeds Apple's requirements
So the user must be able to exploit the capabilities of the system so that he can take advantage of applications from outside the store, which may provide some features that are not available in similar applications that are in the store
May God reward you for all the news and advice you provide.
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
If Apple will supervise the programs downloaded from outside the store and it will be safe, that will be very good.
It doesn't make sense to remove apps outside the App Store. Part of the high iPhone price is to audit and test apps in the App Store. I won't be downloading anything loose outside of a store, but if the law is wrongly enacted it will force Apple to improve the store at a faster pace.
Thank you for the great effort. I do not like the idea of applications from outside the Apple system. How do you ensure safety? If you want an Android system, buy another used and good device 😊
Apps from outside the store would be a great thing
We hope that the decision makers will be forced to do so
The user remains free to choose
Apps from outside the App Store We've always been waiting for this feature on the iPhone
Yes, it is a double-edged sword, but the end of Apple's monopoly. In my view, I own the device and it is my right as a user to download programs from any source. Yes, this will affect the security on Apple devices, but if you want to secure your device, just use the App Store
I hope to complete this step as soon as possible and allow downloading programs from outside the store
Galaxy and Androy system..if it came down from the sky and wrote my name on it, I swear to God I wouldn't accept it
Did you know that the system is from Google and Google Services LLC
I mean, YouTube, maps, and all Google services that you shouldn't use!
There is no problem with applications outside the store if they are safe
Applications outside the Apple Store will be a weak point of security and will be a jungle in which people can enter, and Apple cannot give the user the required security in the store.
What distinguishes Apple from downloading programs safely, and everything that breaks this rule is not welcome
This is my humble opinion, with thanks for considering the opinions of subscribers
No to applications from outside of Apple, security will collapse the defense system of the iPhone
I don't mind off-store software if it's safe.
