New ARM based processor by Apple.

Early this year Apple has confirmed that it is going to ARM-based processors instead of the Intel processors. Due to the pas conflicts between the company and Intel due to the performance issues and power supply issues it has declared it is going to shift to ARM-based processors. With the ARM architecture, Apple can easily control the basic functionalities of the processor in this way it can control the power usage and usage of the Cores. With the latest "M1" Chip it has launched CPU can gain up to 20 hours of Web usage. And 17 hours of Web usage(what they claimed). It has 8 power efficiency cores and 8 performance efficiency cores. And it is the first integrated chip with all the basic chipset set up in a single Chip. It has 16 billion transistors set up in a single Board. And it can have up to 11 trillion operations per second. With all this Apple is going to launch "Big Sur" in November. Apple is going to support the Applications which can run on ARM and Intel named Universal Apps. We can load the iPad and iPhone apps in the native system. It can run Rossetta 2 and other high-end software without lag(as they have claimed and shown in the presentation). They have launched Mac Air and Macbook Air Pro with an M1 chipset. And a mini Mac.

About the New iPhone 12

 iPhone 12 is the latest of the Apple phone lineup. It has the fastest processor A14 Bionic chip. And it is the first phone to be built on 5nm Processor chip. It has the neural engine that supports the computational photography and all the other things that run ML.

Epic games suit over Apple

Epic games which is named for its best android game competing the PUBG that is Fortnite recently got its game removed from Apple playstore. Following this google Play Store also removed the game due to some issues. Generally whenever some one buys a game previously 20 years back they use to buy the game from a store. For which the store raises the price of the game of about 50%. They cover the maintenance of the store and giving the salaries to the employees and everything. This has been removed after the entry of the digital games. Now people are downloading the games from Steam or PlayStation digital versions of the games. With this the cost paid by the user is reduced to 20-30%. After the invention of the Apple iPhones Steve jobs has introduced the Appstore for the app downloads. In the same way android has copied the idea and has its own appstore. In the android devices with the buying of phones a user gets some apps pre-installed. This is for the Playstore to raise some money in terms of users using Gmail,Google maps and some of the pre installed applications. In the same way Apple's appstore will lay some tax whenever a developer publishes application in the appstore. And also whenever there is in app purchase apple lays off 3% as the apple tax. And 30% on the app purchases. Because of this tax Fortnite and Amazon Prime is making the payment in the application without any knowledge to the application. Because of this Apple removed the Fortnite from its appstore and since Amazon is the major contributor and biggest rival company for the apple it is not doing anything regarding those things. Because of the same reason it has laid off the Spotify from its Store. For this reason Spotify has laid a suit regarding the apple tax. In the same way Epic games also laid the same suit. But they are asking for the court to see this as a monopoly done by apple. Let us see what is going to happen. In the recent interviews doen by EU also raised these questions to many tech companies like Facebook,Google, Microsoft.

This smart stack changes based on the user requirement and usage of the widgets and applications timely based. Here comes the PIP mode.

Combined project of Google and Apple for Corona

Even though taking most of the precautions corona isn't being controlled. It is compulsory for every nation and every state to get to know the exact location and situation of these corona infected patients. So that they can control it more effectively. So in order to get this to work perfectly, Tech giants have started to work on a project for effective tracking of these patients. It works with the help of BlueTooth technology. Every phone on this earth belongs to either Google or Apple. So they are going to release software that shares a unique code with every person who passes you. This code will be unique and it changes with time. Every time a person passes devices is going to share the code. This code is encoded and it is not possible to know which device and which person has shared this one. Based upon the Contact Sharing they will know which person is effected and if at all they are in your vicinity your device is going to push an alert message to your device. This is going to the app in the initial stages. Then they are going to hard code it to the OS. Maybe with the help of this Corona can be controlled.

About the latest software Zoom and ZoomBombing

Due to the pandemic, most of the companies are started to work from home. Since they are working from home they need to interact with their clients and employees. For this reason, most of the people are using web platforms like skype, WebEx and other software platforms for the meetings and conferences. Since most of the platforms are paid most of the people searching for alternatives. Here comes Zoom. It is the free software that can be used by most of the companies for free. And it supports most of the features offered by the other platforms. So many people started using this. It uses a 9 - 11 digit code. Anyone with zoom software can join the meeting using that code. While Skype uses alphanumeric code and FaceTime uses AppleID for the login and attending meetings. Here the problem is whenever a user sends this code to others for connecting to the webinars and conferences hackers are getting these codes using middleware and they are going to these meetings. Many of them posting some graphic content and other issues are being made. This situation is called as ZoomBombing. Zoom has also compromised most of the user's FB credentials. Two lawsuits have been brought down on the company. Since it is the latest software to be used by most of the user's trust is going to be the greatest issue presently with the company. Companies like SpaceX has already banned the usage of the Zoom by their employees. Taking all these things into consideration Zoom has to solve these issues as quickly as possible. And it has taken measures like no new features will be added to the Zoom till 90 day period. Maybe this will be profited by this pandemic issue.
