As Reuters reports, the robotic dog ‘Spot’ was deployed in a public park as part of a two-week trial period. ‘Spot’ spots any park-goers not following social distancing guidelines and politely says in a woman’s voice, “Let’s keep Singapore healthy. For your own safety and for those around you, please stand at least one meter apart. Thank you.”
‘Spot’ can also estimate the number of people in the park with it’s cameras but won’t be able to track or record personal data.
Popular YouTube channel EverythingApplePro made a video showing a 3D-printed rendering of the iPhone 12. The video spotlights the physical specs and performance capabilities of the upcoming smartphone based off of leaked schematics.
The iPhone 12 will reportedly take on a design similar to the shape of the latest iPad Pro, displaying a more sleek aesthetic equipped with flat metal frame and flat display. There will also be a large 6.7 inch display and LiDAR scanner that was seen on the iPad Pro.
These schematics are rumored to be only 70% complete according to EverythingApplePro. Check out the video above of the Apple iPhone 12 design.
Users will now be able to get more out of their MacBook Pro’s battery life with Apple’s new update.
With the macOS 10.15.5 update, the revamp will include a “Battery Health Management” tool which is designed to “improve your battery’s lifespan by reducing the rate at which it chemically ages.” This new installment will follow the “Pro Mode” macOS feature that the company introduced in January.
This new feature piggy-backed off of earlier iOS updates like iOS 13’s optimized charging. The new tool will be able to keep up with a battery’s temperature history as well as charging patterns. In doing so, the system will see the best way to charge the battery and reduce maximum charge usage. With all the capabilities of the update, the user will still be able to turn off the moderator if they need a full charge.
Apple has just unveiled a $399 USD second generation model iPhone SE. The new iPhone SE’s design is reminiscent of the iPhone 8 and is equipped with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, Touch ID with home button and thick bezels. One important note is that this model will have Apple’s new A13 Bionic processor, last seen on the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro.
The SE is composed of aluminum and glass and will feature wireless charging via Qi wireless charge. The rear camera features Smart HDR capabilities while the front utilizes Portrait Mode. The iPhone SE will also be able to shoot 4K video at 60fps and encompass all camera functions such as slo-mo, time-lapse, and cinematic video stabilization.
Apple will now be adding 5G to its iPhone lineup. According to Bloomberg, there will be four additional models to receive the upgrade plus a new design.
This year’s successors to the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be joined by two lower-end models to replace the iPhone 11. At least the two high-end devices will have flat stainless steel edges instead of the current curved design as well as more sharply rounded corners like the iPad Pro introduced in 2018. Reminiscent of the iPhone 5 design, the new handsets will have flat screens rather than the sloping edges on current models, said the people asking not to be identified because the plans aren’t public.

Apple’s upcoming smartphone will look similar to the iPad Pro and will feature flat steel edges and a flat screen reminiscent of the iPhone 5. The bezels however, will be smaller and the camera will be similar to the current iPad’s camera.
The upcoming iPhone 12 will also feature the iPad Pro’s new 3D LIDAR system for an improved AR experience. Also of note is the Pro models will have three rear cameras while the others will remain at two.

According to Jon Prosser, who also leaked that a 14-inch MacBook pro is dropping in May 2020, we will soon see over-the-ear headphones from Apple as well. Prosser took to Twitter to announce the findings which one can assume that, if this is true, then it may be the end of the Beats headphones line.
Apple acquired Beats back in 2014 from Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine for a staggering $3 billion USD. The tech company has since been offering Beats products to employees for 40% off to clear inventory, further advancing their Apple/AirPods product line.
Prosser further states that the over-the-ear headphones, codenamed B515, will be compared to the Bose 700 and will launch with a price point of $350 USD during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

After Microsoft revealed its next-gen gaming system in the Xbox Series X, many people have been impatiently waiting for Sony to unveil what they’ve been working on. The wait is over as we at least have images of the Sony PlayStation 5 controller. Introduced as the DualSense controller, this device goes in a different direction than the normal DualShock controllers and capitalizes on the trail that the DualShock 4 for PS4 has blazed.
The haptic feedback function of this wireless controller will utilize the sense of touch when playing video games. This means that the controller will react to certain situations during gameplay. The L2 and R2 will come equipped with adaptive triggers for better tension when playing shooters where you have to draw your weapon. To make the DualSense feel smaller, the hand triggers and grip have been slightly updated as well. One major advantage of this updated controller is the fact that the battery life will improve despite all the new features.
The “Share” button has been replaced by the “Create” button and a built-in microphone has also been added. Sony plans to share more information on these new additions as more hardware news is announced.
A first look at DualSense, PS5’s new wireless controller.
As far as cosmetics goes, PlayStation has opted for a two-toned white and black color scheme which is far different than past design of just one solid color. This final design is the result of several concepts and hundreds of mockups over the last few years.
Take a look at the images above and check back with us for more info.
In alarming news, hackers were able to take over users’ webcams and microphones on Apple Macs, MacBooks, iPads and iPhones. Ryan Pickren, a security researcher, found the bugs and stated that they were grouped together and sent in the form of a link which tricks the Safari browser into giving up control of the webcam and mic.
Wired has states that hackers can secretly launch the user’s webcam and microphone and in turn, record video, audio, and even create photos. Apple has thus rewarded the researcher a $75,000 USD bug bounty and also patched the bugs through its January and March updates. An important note is if users have not updated their Apple products (in January or March), then they may still be left vulnerable for any further attacks.
