I think I won’t be mistaken if I assume that almost all users iPhone listen to music from their device (and Jobs himself ordered iPod users!). However, there are also individuals who are not satisfied with the sound produced by the i-device for a number of reasons. This article is a kind of educational program for improving sound quality.
By changing just 2 points in Settings, you will be at least surprised how rich and vibrant familiar songs can become.
- Go to Settings, and then go to the Music tab;
- We look for the line Sound check and move the slider to the On position;
- Next, click on the Equalizer item and select the most suitable add-on that is relevant to the music you are listening to (Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Pop, etc.)
When yours truly began writing this article, he assumed that the main audience of readers would be beginners, therefore, below you will read an explanation of each point.
Sound check: I have no doubt that you have noticed more than once that some audio recordings sound much quieter or, on the contrary, louder than others. In order not to make it difficult for the user to change the selected volume position each time, SoundChek will take over this work, adjusting the parameters automatically. This means that Earth Song by Michael Jackson will not sound too quiet, and Midnight Messiah by the famous guys from Powerwolf will not explode your eardrums.
Equalizer(from the English equalize - equalize; also EQ) - an add-on that allows you to equalize the frequency of the output sound in connection with the needs of the user. Simply put, an equalizer allows you to add more lows or highs, boost the bass, or remove it altogether. This program (of course, if you “adjust” all the parameters correctly) will improve the sound quality.
P.S. Remember that changing the parameters I described is valid only for the standard Music application in iOS. Using third-party audio applications will invalidate all settings.
Electronics manufacturer Cooler Master has a range of hardware products such as keyboards, power supplies, headsets, computer (PC) cases, mice and, of course, coolers. Each of its products has been specifically designed based on community feedback. Including keyboards. Cooler Master even had a Kickstarter project for an analog keyboard with pressure-sensitive keys called the ContolPad. With that said, let's take a closer look at what can make the new Cooler Master SK621 keyboard special for the user.
Keyboard news: Review of Cooler Master SK621 - mechanical wireless keyboard with a separate wired connection option.
The first thing that is noticeable during the review is the ability to conveniently pair the wireless keyboard with three different devices. Connecting your device is as simple as holding the function button and Z, X or C. This feature makes it very easy to switch from using your phone to your computer. Turning on the Cooler Master SK621 keyboard is also easy. Either connect it via a USB Type-C cable, or on the left side activate the very simple switch for wireless mode.
Technical characteristics of the Cooler Master SK621 wireless keyboard:
You can map a wide variety of colors (shades) to any key, customize lighting modes, or customize macros using the Cooler Master software.
When using the SK621 for the first time, it is recommended to connect to your computer via USB Type-C and install the Cooler Master Portal. This will allow you to control the different lighting effects and settings of the wireless keyboard. It is possible to create preset profiles, which makes it easier to switch between profiles when using elements. You can also adjust the lighting effects using the controls, but the above mentioned portal is more user friendly. The wireless keyboard setup is very easy to use and has many combinations. There are options - adjusting the speed, direction and brightness of the keyboard backlight effects.
Macros can also be programmed. It’s also worth adding that all functions such as RGB lighting, macros and controls are also available when using the SK621 via a Bluetooth connection. The wireless keyboard's battery life is also impressive. It may take a couple of full business days before the light turns red, indicating that the battery is low. Charging the SK621 wireless keyboard is also easy. Just connect your keyboard via USB Type-C. The keyboard can still be used as a wired keyboard as long as the cable charges the keyboard's battery.
The keyboard's body is crafted from polished aluminum, making it lightweight, durable, and provides a premium appearance. There's also a nice sleek aluminum edge accent that adds a touch of elegance. The keys are made of plastic and don't have much texture.
Low-profile Cherry MX keys are quiet enough for office use. The key switches are incredibly sensitive and using the Cooler Master SK621 Wireless Keyboard takes some practice. This is because the keys register key presses to within a millimeter or less.
The SK621 keyboard is designed to be compact and quite portable. A nice addition is the velvet bag. It's definitely made for gaming thanks to its Cherry MX keys, but it's easy to use for work.
The Cooler Master SK621 does everything it's designed to do. However, the keys are great for gaming but are too sensitive for typing. Plastic keys are also prone to oil stains on your fingers, so eating while gaming can be difficult. Perhaps if the keys had some kind of oil-resistant coating or more texture, the oil marks wouldn't be as pronounced.
Features of the Cooler Master SK621 wireless keyboard:
Brushed aluminum body design;
Featuring a flat, brushed aluminum keyboard top, floating keycaps, and a slim, minimalist body design.
Colored keyboard backlight (RGB LEDs);
Individually customizable LED key backlighting and surrounding LED ring.
Hybrid wired and wireless;
Connect up to three devices via Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology or wired connection and charge the battery at the same time.
Minimum keyboard layout by 60%;
We can say that this wireless mini keyboard has a unique design for maximum portability.
Easy to use software.
Low profile Cherry MX keys;
The reduced travel distance and actuation point performs with equal durability and accuracy (according to the wireless keyboard manufacturer).
Available controls;
In real time, you can customize keyboard backlighting and macros without the need for software.
Summary of the Cooler Master SK621 wireless keyboard:
Overall, electrical and keyboard maker Cooler Master exceeded all expectations. It's especially impressive because it can make a really interesting wireless keyboard. The SK621 model has a variety of lighting effects and individual settings, has a compact design and a lot of user-friendly functions. Using the SK621 at work and then bringing it home for gaming could make it a favorite wireless keyboard for the price of nearly $200.
ETH Zurich has unveiled details of "Concrete Choreography", an installation that recently opened in Riom, Switzerland. The innovative installation features the first robotically constructed 3D printed concrete stage, consisting of formless columns 3D printed to full height in 2.5 hours. The process is expected to significantly improve the efficiency of concrete structures while achieving the fabrication of complex material components and construction robots.
3D printing news: ETH Zurich creates concrete columns using a special 3D concrete printer.In Riom, Switzerland, the Origen festival features nine 2.7-meter-high columns. Each column is 3D printed concrete. The new columns were individually designed using custom software and manufactured using a new automated concrete 3D printing process developed by the ETH Zurich team with support from NCCR DFAB.

MSc Digital Fabrication and Architecture students explore the unique capabilities of multi-layer extrusion printing, demonstrating the potential of computer-aided design and digital fabrication for the future of concrete construction. Perhaps in the construction industry, this process will become more environmentally friendly in the future if they develop new eco-friendly concrete for 3D printing.
Video review of 3D concrete printing: Concrete choreography.
This is how easy and fast 3D concrete printing works.
3D printing of houses and buildings made of concrete is a prospect for construction.
Hollow concrete structures are printed for the strategic use of materials, resulting in a more sustainable approach to specific architecture. Additionally, the calculated material structure and surface textures are an example of the versatility and significant aesthetic potential of 3D concrete printing when used in large-scale structures.
The new review will be about printing on a 3D printer with metal.
It is worth noting that there is technology to carry out 3D printing with metal. This is also a promising direction for construction, but for this, other materials are used (for example, powder), programs and other types of printers (which we will talk about soon).
What color is your mobile phone? Is it black, red, white, gold or blue? Most likely, the back of your phone has some kind of solid color option that you will find in a coloring book for beginners. It has taken too long for most phone manufacturers to realize that phone colors actually matter to consumers, and it is only recently that they have started giving mobile phones not just a rarely used color, but fancy shades like coral red or canary green.
Honor News: With new 3D holographic color phones from Honor, it's possible to add a little new color to life.It's no surprise that most people don't mind hiding the backs of their phones behind an opaque plastic case. In cases, the user can choose a suitable color for the phone case to give the mobile a little personality. But China's new Honor 20 Pro and Honor 20 series phones are the world's first smartphones with 3D dynamic holographic design, and their reflective appearance could become a new industry standard.
"Always better" is the company's motto. Perhaps this motto suggests that she refuses to follow the industry standard by simply experimenting with layers of paint with each new phone model.
Color 3D holography for the phone case.
In order for the phone body to achieve a shimmering optical illusion, the manufacturer Honor designed its Honor 20 model with a deep layer containing millions of shimmering microscopic prisms, and on top of this a so-called 3D curved glass layer is placed. The combination of these technologies causes the light to "play and dance" on the back of the phone as the user turns it in different directions.
Two colors for the Honor 20 phone can be found under these dynamic layers, Midnight Black and Sapphire Blue. Unlike the newfangled phrases for some phone colors, Honor mobile has color gradients for phones that actually evoke the effect of a shimmering night sky or a shimmering jewel.
While the color options sound exciting, you can go even further with the Chinese Honor 20 Pro phone. This upgraded model features the signature "Triple 3D Mesh" containing three layers. Instead of just painting the back of the phone itself, this time a layer of body color sits between the outer 3D layer and the inner depth layer. According to the phone maker, this makes color shifting effects much more dynamic.
The Honor 20 Pro mobile phone is actively sold in two colors such as Phantom Black and Phantom Blue. Although the names of these phone colors are not so metaphorical, do not think that their rear panels are less dynamic.
Honor's obsession with choosing the right colors may seem overly dramatic, but in the UK, for example, a survey of hundreds of Brits found that forty-nine percent of them consider color when choosing a phone to buy.
Why is a phone with a changing color scheme being sold?
Choosing a mobile phone, as Honor designer Jun-Soo Kim puts it, is “Extending human life.” Essentially, Honor is saying that customer identity cannot be captured in one unchanging color.
The history of the creation of Honor color phones.
The Honor 20 represents a natural evolution of the company's experimentation with dynamic color in phone design. The Honor 8 model started the trend of a 2.5D multi-layer back wall, which creates a 3D lattice effect. Then the Honor 9 version turned into a phone with a curved 3D glass, echoes of which can already be found in the Honor 20 model. Well, last year, the Honor 10 model was equipped with an Aurora rear glass that reflected colors from all sides.
What is the screen like on an Honor phone?
Honor's design innovations don't stop at the color of the phone's body. It's worth paying attention to the placement of the Honor 20's camera. Instead of trimming the screen to make room for the "selfie" camera. The phone maker has cut a 4.5mm hole in the top left corner of the screen, thereby leaving more screen space for the user's needs.
Camera with artificial intelligence or AI camera in your phone.
According to the description of the phone, it is worth noting that on the back of the device, the Honor 20 AI camera has four lenses and is located so as to leave more space for a battery with more memory. But most importantly, the result is a 48-megapixel camera that uses the Kirin 980 AI microchip to take DSLR-quality photos and enhance photos.
Summary of Honor phone color.
Bottom line, phone descriptions, technical compatibility and cutting-edge hardware innovations are what usually attract attention to Chinese Honor phones. But in this case, the technology is almost overshadowed by the uniquely colored body design, which may make some users reluctant to go back to simple 2D phone body colors in the future.
Rumors continue to arise regarding the launch of the Google Pixel 4 mobile phone. A new set of information or predictions comes from a leaked image (3D rendering of colored cases) on the Internet, which is believed to be of the Google Pixel 4. It is not uncommon for users to spy Because of the theme of new products, such images are overlooked. Meanwhile, for some analysts, the new picture helps make a few assumptions about more than just the color of the phone.
A new unofficial image of the Google Pixel 4 is sparking rumors about color options for the mobile phone's body.
While another image of the phone body itself doesn't seem to show more than what was previously discussed online, the model seen in the background of the photo raises eyebrows due to its color. That mobile phone has a shade of purple that the Pixel model didn't have before.
Elsewhere, there have been other leaks of the same Google Pixel 4 with "three phones" (variants) stacked in a row. There are white and black colors, plus the third has a bluish tint, which some call mint green. Would you like to buy a blue phone? Probably the name of the phone colors will still be updated.
Whatever leak about the phone's colors is true or false, it's safe to assume that the new Google Pixel 4 will definitely have an additional color this year. What's even more interesting is that in the image, the physical buttons on the sides of the phones contrast with the color of the body. You can see white, blue and yellow buttons which give the phone a fun look.
For some strange reason, all the images and leaks seen so far have only shown the rear panel of the Google Pixel 4 smartphone. As reported by various sources, Google allegedly shared a render of the phone, and there was also a part where the square camera bump was featured. The dual camera unit was visible.
The leaked photos being discussed, including the image along with the cases, show the back panel in different colors and the camera module. What do you think is the best phone color?
About the technical characteristics of Google Pixel 4:
Obviously, the idea of a fingerprint scanner is not leaving fans alone. Some people want the phone to either have Face ID to unlock the phone, or an in-display fingerprint scanner, or both.
Some other aspects and specifications, such as the dimensions of the phones and the overall thickness being 8.2 millimeters higher compared to the 7.9 mm seen in the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, can be taken as close to reality.
There is speculation that the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL versions of the phone may be more like the "Apple iPhone 11" variant that is scheduled to release in a couple of months in the fall. When, exactly? Technology company Google has yet to announce an official release date for the Pixel 4, but various sources are hinting at a late October release for the new phone.
We'll tell you more about this soon, so stay tuned for news about new smartphones from Google.
The robot set a world record for solving a Rubik's Cube. This robot was developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students Jared Di Carlo and Ben Katz in a student laboratory. For comparison, the fastest human record is held by Australian Felix Zemdegs, who solved the Rubik's Cube in just 4.22 seconds in 2018. By the way, the original size Rubik's Cube has 43 quintillion possible combinations for one solution. Watch the video of the record-breaking robot below.
Robotics news: MIT's nimble Robot solves a Rubik's Cube in a world record time of 0.38 seconds.Many people have a special place in their hearts for the Rubik's Cube. This is a good workout for the intellect. Many people loved or still love to play with this ingenious toy, and over the years there have been many competitions, challenges and variations to solve the Rubik's Cube.
The popularity of the Rubik's Cube can be attributed to the simplicity of its design combined with the mind-boggling complexity of the puzzle.
New record for solving a Rubik's Cube 3x3x3.
Engineers and hobbyists have been using robots to solve Rubik's Cubes for years. 10 seconds used to be considered a quick assembly, but by today's digital age standards, that's a time that makes you smile.
It was only a matter of time before engineers and roboticists began to tackle the challenge of creating a new robot. Back in 2016, the robot set a new record for solving a Rubik's Cube in 0.637 seconds. But for some enthusiasts, that time wasn't fast enough.
Just recently, two MIT students, Jared Di Carlo (a third-year electrical engineering and computer science student) and Ben Katz (a mechanical engineering graduate student), thought they could build a faster robot that could solve a 3D combination puzzle.
They watched videos of previous robots, and noticed that the robots' motors were not the fastest that could be used to solve the problem. So they thought they could do better with better engines and controls.
How a robot solves a Rubik's Cube
Students installed an electronically controlled motor that powers each face of the Rubik's Cube. Using a pair of web cameras pointed at the cube, special software determines the initial state of each side of the cube (which colors are on which side of the cube at a given time). Then, based on the information received, using existing software for solving the Rubik's Cube, the robot solves the puzzles using an algorithm.
What is the result of the work? Their robot solved a Rubik's Cube in 0.38 seconds! It is safe to say that no person is physically capable of breaking the record for this speed. We can add another achievement to the list of robots surpassing humans.
There is a man who holds the fastest world record for hand assembly, his name is Felix Zemdegs. He was able to solve the Rubik's Cube in 4.22 seconds. The skills and talents that robots are replacing are vast and varied, to say the least. Not to mention that robots can still surprise. Next is a video demonstration of the robot.
Video review of assembling a Rubik's Cube in 0.38 seconds:
That's it, hardware hackers Ben Katz and Jared Di Carlo broke the previous record for robotically solving a Rubik's Cube. Their robot solved the puzzle 40 percent faster than the previous record.
Details about the record-breaking robot
The robotic device is assembled from motors from the Kollmorgen ServoDisc U9 series, PlayStation Eye cameras (for scanning the cube) and, of course, a Rubik's Cube was needed. According to the robot's creators, "The entire software process takes about 45 milliseconds. Most of the time is spent waiting for the webcam driver and determining the colors on the sides of the Rubik's Cube."
Facebook Inc. Artificial Intelligence Research Group. introduced a new robotics platform called PyRobot. This platform (framework) was developed jointly with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. PyRobot aims to help AI researchers and students integrate deep learning models built using the PyTorch platform (a machine learning library for the Python programming language) with the robots they create. The basic idea is that they can create their robots more easily by using artificial intelligence skills such as natural language processing.
News from the world of robots with AI (AI): Facebook introduces a platform for robotics PyRobot is an open source framework for controlling robots.Facebook said it wants to promote long-term robotics research to help develop embedded artificial intelligence systems that can learn more efficiently by interacting with the physical world.
Previously, to stimulate the production of artificial intelligence models, the company introduced PyTorch Hub.
What is PyRobot today
PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level interface that provides hardware-independent APIs for robotic manipulation and navigation. The PyRobot repository also contains a low-level stack for LoCoBot, a low-cost mobile manipulator hardware platform (robot assembly toolkit). Now artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming more accessible to those new to robotics.
Research supervisor Abinav Gupta and Saurabh Gupta, as a research fellow at Facebook, explained in a blog post that: PyRobot is a lightweight, high-level interface on top of the robot's operating system. It provides a consistent set of hardware-independent middle-level APIs (application programming interfaces) for controlling a variety of robots. PyRobot abstracts away the details of low-level controllers and inter-process communication, so machine learning specialists and others can simply focus on building high-level AI (artificial intelligence) robotics applications.
Facebook's source also says PyRobot has dozens of potential applications, such as helping researchers share data and set benchmarks and build on each other's work. The company solicited proposals from the broader AI research community on how to democratize robotics using LoCoBot and PyRobot, which are hardware specifications and tools for building low-cost robots.
PyRobot works by using APIs to abstract the functions that robots need to use. Perform tasks such as kinematics, path planning, position, speed and torque control for joints, and visual simultaneous localization and mapping. PyRobot comes with a number of pre-trained deep learning models that allow robots to navigate, grasp objects, and more.
This means developers can program their robots using just a few lines of Python code, Facebook says.
Facebook researchers also say that: The cost of hardware and the complexity of specialized software limit the scope of robotics research. With lower barriers to entry, researchers can, for example, build multiple robots that collect data and learn in parallel. Providing a common platform for various equipment. PyRobot will lead to the development of benchmarks in robotics, similar to other areas in AI, and will quantify the pace of progress in AI robotics.
Like Amazon's RoboMaker, PyRobot runs as an interface on top of the robot operating system (ROS), extending the infrastructure. In May, technology company Microsoft released a set of robotics tools with a limited preview, and last year integrated the ROS platform into Windows 10.
The famous analyst and author of Apple smartphone forecasts, Ming-Chi Kuo, can certainly be the most reliable source of leaks and information about Apple products. And today he released a new research report, obtained by Mac Rumors, where he mentions the future of the iPhone and when we can expect Apple to finally switch to 5G (fifth generation mobile communications) smartphones.
Rumors and technology news: Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts Apple will release 5G iPhone in 2020Back when Apple was still planning to use Intel modems in its iPhones, there were rumors that the "iPhone 2020" phone model would be the first to receive 5G support. However, the Apple company has since switched from its modem supplier to Qualcomm. For which they had to settle a long patent dispute with an American chip manufacturer, pay at least 4.5 billion dollars and not use Intel modems. Intel may even have shut down its 5G plans after this news.
According to a note by analyst Kuo Ming-Chi, the development of a new version of the iPhone 5G mobile phone is proceeding exactly on schedule. Allegedly, we will see Apple announce the release of the 5G iPhone in 2020. Kuo's note also mentions that both the 5.4-inch iPhone model and the 6.7-inch iPhone model will have a 5G modem. A hint is given of some kind of update to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max smartphones.
Ming-Chi Kuo also said that all three iPhone models in 2020 will come in multiple colors and feature an OLED screen, as opposed to the LCD screen on the current iPhone XR. However, we'll probably still get an iPhone XR upgrade with an LCD display this year, so if an OLED screen in a mobile is too much of a deal for you, maybe wait a year.
5G iPhone competitors:
Currently our best Android competitors are the following 5G phones:
1) Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G (128 GB memory, 6 GB RAM and battery with fast charging);
2) OPPO Reno 5G (innovative design, affordable price, powerful camera);
3) LG V50 ThinQ (screen 1440 by 3120 pixels, memory expansion up to 1 TB, 4000 mAh battery);
4) OnePlus 7 Pro 5G (frameless AMOLED screen has no notches or holes);
5) ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G (48 megapixel camera, Snapdragon 855 chip).
Global sales of 5G phones.
Global deliveries to stores of mobile phones supporting 5G technology (this is the fifth generation of fast mobile communications) may be higher than market analysts' expectations. It's worth noting that some mobile market observers believe such shipments are likely to reach 150 to 200 million units, or more than a dozen percent of global 5G phone shipments next year.
After many rumors in the cryptocurrency market news. On Tuesday, Facebook unveiled plans for the next year, including the ambitious release of a new digital currency called Libra. It will be managed by an association consisting of corporate investors. Payment companies Visa, Mercado Pago, PayPal, Mastercard and Stripe are partners. Technology companies Uber, eBay, Spotify and Lyft are joining the project. European telecommunications companies Vodafone and Iliad are also involved in the new project. Investors Union Square Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, plus academic, non-profit institutions Womens World Banking and Kiva.
Facebook has unveiled a new project called Calibra, a digital wallet for storing and sending Libra “crypto coins.”Billions of people are expected to be able to make payments using cryptocurrency from social media giant Facebook through their mobile apps. The social network Facebook plans to officially launch a new cryptocurrency project, Libra, in 2020. Libra is a new type of digital money that is intended for billions of people using mobile applications and the social network.
The popular social network Facebook has more news for the world of cryptocurrency.
That a new digital wallet would be created that would allow Facebook app users to store and exchange cryptocurrency. Facebook is creating a new subsidiary, Calibra.
Why is Facebook betting on a cryptocurrency called Libra? Perhaps the lofty goal of the latest development is to go beyond social networks.
Digital wallets for storing, sending and spending Libra cryptocurrency will be connected to messaging platforms.
Initially, the cryptocurrency will be available in the Facebook Messenger / WhatsApp application, and of course in separate applications for iOS or Android.
Facebook said in a press release that: “Initially, Calibra will make it easy and instant to send Libra at a low cost to virtually anyone with a smartphone.”
It also says that: “Over time, additional services will be offered to businesses and people, such as buying a cup of coffee with a scanned code, paying a bill with the touch of a button, traveling on public transport without having to carry cash.”
Security of the Facebook cryptocurrency wallet.
To improve the security of the new cryptocurrency, it will use similar verification and fraud protection features that are already used by credit cards and banks. Facebook's cryptocurrency service will have user support. And in case someone else gains access to the user account, compensation for lost assets is promised.
Cryptocurrency coins will be stored by users in a digital wallet. But the world of cryptocurrency itself is not always stable! Time will tell if Facebook's own digital money will help people save money by sending and spending it as easily as sending text messages.
The cryptocurrency will be managed by the founding members: Facebook, more than two dozen different organizations and a separate Swiss foundation.
Why Libra?
What does the word Libra mean?
Former PayPal executive David Marcus, who heads the Facebook project, said something like this: "The choice of the name Libra (Libra) was inspired by several reasons, namely the French word for Liberty, the Roman measurement of weight, the astrological sign of justice."

Technology and design news: Insanely beautiful iPhone 11 concept with innovative, colorful, curved screen.Technology giant Apple will release iPhone 11 this coming September. If all sorts of rumors turn out to be true, then the multimedia phone could have the same design as the last two generations of the phone. Regarding the final design of the iPhone 11, we are ready to accept what Apple designers come up with. But, we can't stop imagining what could be if technology allowed us to create any design for the iPhone 11. And that's exactly what some very talented designers are doing. This time around, there's a beautiful concept for the iPhone 11 that ditches all the buttons in favor of an immersive curved phone screen.
The implementation of such a design results in an iPhone with a beautiful glowing strip that stretches along the entire mobile phone and replaces the physical volume rocker buttons and the power button. Using this design philosophy allows you to get an iPhone with on-screen icons on the side.
While it may be a good looking phone, there is absolutely no chance of the concept becoming a reality. In addition, protecting such a phone with a case seems impossible, since by covering the screen space the case will take away some of its basic functions. Imagine that if a phone like this were accidentally dropped on the ground, the cost of repairing a curved screen would be higher for the user than with a classic screen option.
We hope the new iPhone 11 will have a bright screen under the sun.
The 2019 iPhone 11 lineup is expected to feature three models, just like last year. There will probably be two OLED phones and one with an LCD screen. The iPhone 11 and 11 Max models may have a variety of OLED screens, and also have screen sizes of 5.8 and 6.5 inches, respectively. Perhaps the iPhone 11R model will be equipped with an LCD display to reduce the price to a minimum.
It is also expected that the new versions of the iPhone 11 and 11 Max will have a triple camera configuration, while the iPhone 11R version is expected to be equipped with a dual camera. Essentially, this means that all three mobile phones could come with an additional camera on the back.
The front of the iPhone 11 lineup is expected to remain the same and there will be no difference in the size of the notch. However, recent reports claim that there may be improved face identification that will be able to authenticate a user at some extreme angles.
Video review of the iPhone 11 concept with an innovative, curved screen on the side:
According to the creator of this video, the new bezel-less iPhone 11 could have the following specifications:
6.4-inch full-screen display;
- Hidden front 13MP camera;
- Four cameras, 8K @ 120 FPS;
- New Apple operating system, iOS 13;
- Apple A13 Bionic mobile chip (up to eight times faster than the A12 Bionic chip).
WWDC is Apple's large event for developers. During this event, Apple tells developers and interested visitors about new versions of the MacOS and iOS operating systems, its latest development tools, and the latest proprietary applications and devices. She talks about plans to stimulate further development, about new partnerships with developers and other details that she is working on. It turns out that attending the Apple IT conference WWDC 2019 is an ideal chance to be the first to find out and see what new applications will be available for iOS and MacOS systems and more.
Articles and Lifehacks
Having missed several important calls on your mobile phone, you should think about how to increase the volume on your iPhone.
After all, the volume may periodically decrease for various reasons, as a result of which the subscriber does not know about the calls and messages he receives.
Standard adjustment methods
There are several ways to increase the volume on your mobile phone. The most common one is to press the buttons located on the end of the gadget. The top button is responsible for increasing the volume, the bottom button is responsible for decreasing it.If this method does not bring the desired result, then you can use another one:
- Go to settings, open the “Sounds” section.
- To increase the volume level, move the slider to the right all the way.
Then find the SystemSoundMaximumVolume document, which stores the maximum volume settings for the entire device.
The set parameter will be 0.7, increase it to 0.99, reboot the gadget. After this, the mobile phone will begin to sound louder.
What to do in case of breakdown
If the mobile phone is in good condition, then no difficulties arise with adjusting the sound. But when the gadget is broken, problems may arise.
In this case, you can use the following instructions to increase the sound:
- Turn off and on the device. This will reset the sound settings.
- Disconnect the headset from your mobile phone, as when a call comes in, the sound will come through the headphones and not the speaker.
- Reset all settings. Before this, you need to create a backup copy to save data from your mobile phone.
- If the side buttons are damaged when the mobile phone is dropped, this may cause the sound to deteriorate. The buttons could freeze, causing the sound to either decrease or increase.
In such a case, troubleshooting is possible only through a specialist.
The situation when the owner of an Apple device observes poor audibility of the interlocutor’s voice during a call is a fairly common problem. At the same time, if you put the call in loud mode, the voice appears. As the experience of many users shows, this problem is most often typical for gadgets of the sixth version. Repair shop specialists note that in iPhone 6, as well as iPhone 5, 5S and other Apple phone models, the sound disappears very often, which is the reason why the owners of these gadgets call for repairs.
If you have the problem of being unable to hear your interlocutor on an iPhone 6 or iPhone 5, read this article. It describes the most common causes of this problem and how to fix it.
Summarizing the experience of repair technicians, we can conclude that when the interlocutor is hard to hear on the iPhone 6, the reason for this is one of the following factors:
1 Device speaker failure. Moreover, the problem may lie in both the hardware and software parts of the device. It will be extremely difficult for the user to cope with such malfunctions on his own. However, it is worth mentioning some methods that may restore sound, and the owner of the smartphone will avoid going to a repair shop. 2 The influence of third-party programs and applications on sound quality. Few people think that serious violations can be caused by such a trivial reason. However, it should be excluded too. To do this, you need to look at what software you installed on your device, especially recently. Next, you need to figure out which of the downloaded and installed programs could have a negative impact on the iPhone’s audio settings. If any are found, the further course of action is very simple - you need to remove the programs from the smartphone. Usually, after this, the sound functions of the device are normalized, and the sound becomes clear and beautiful, as before. 3 The quiet mode lever is in the “mute” state. At the same time, the lever is marked in red. What is required from the user in such a situation? Nothing complicated - just switch the element to a different position. 4 Incorrect removal of portable speakers. Due to such a misunderstanding, of course, the sound cannot disappear completely, but its quality will deteriorate significantly. Most often the sound becomes quiet, like a whisper. Therefore, try not to forget whether you connected headphones to your device today, and was it after this action that the problem arose? If everything fits, the source of the problem, and therefore its solution, has been successfully found. In such a situation, it is necessary to reinsert the plug into the socket and then remove it. 5 Damage to the upper cable or audio connector. In this situation, as in the previous one, the sound does not completely disappear, but it becomes barely audible. Although, if the sound volume during a conversation is not very good, do not worry and immediately think that the device has serious malfunctions or breakdowns. You may have accidentally set the call volume on your device to low. If this is the problem, you just need to press the volume up button during a conversation.First, you should turn off your phone and then turn it on again. If there is still no sound, you will have to take the device to a specialist for diagnostics. Remember that the sooner you turn to professionals, the cheaper the cost of repairs will be.
In a situation where the sound does not disappear completely, but disappears only sometimes, an action such as updating the firmware on iPhone 6 can help.
If the button is turned on, but the owner of an iPhone 6 still has difficulty hearing the interlocutor or does not hear him at all, the possibility cannot be ruled out that the problem is not with his device, but with the device of the person he is calling.
Above were the main sources of problems with sound in iPhones 5 and 6. If, after performing all the steps to improve or restore the sound, it does not return or its quality leaves much to be desired, then serious repairs are indispensable. In such a situation, the matter is resolved, as a rule, not by repair, but by complete replacement of such an important part as the auditory speaker.
The manufacturer himself gives a number of tips on how to correct the situation when the interlocutor is insufficiently audible when talking on iPhone 6. Below are the most effective of them. If you are faced with the problem of poor hearing on an Apple device, or, even worse, a complete lack of sound, take a closer look at these recommendations. Perhaps, with their help, you can fix the situation yourself, avoiding a trip to a repair shop and unnecessary expenses.
So, if you have problems implementing sound functions in smartphones, Apple advises:
- Try increasing the sound volume. This is done simply - using the sound volume control buttons. During the process, you need to make sure that the sound level indicator appears on the display, i.e. its volume.
- Check the audio headset connection. If a headset is connected to the device, there will be 100% sound in the speaker. To correct this situation, you need to perform only 2 steps:
- Clean the receiver. Not for the first time throughout this article, we repeat that the reason for poor sound quality in an Apple phone can be simple contamination of the protective mesh of the receiver. To resolve this problem, Apple recommends taking the following steps:
- Check the functionality of the receiver. If you suspect a problem with the receiver, do the following:
- Reboot or update your smartphone. Often, doing one of these steps will resolve the audio issue on your device. To do this, you need to restart the iPhone and retest the system. If after this the sound does not appear, you need to update the operating system to the latest version.
- Check that nothing has been plugged into the headphone jack.
- Go to the gadget settings section, select Bluetooth and disable this option.
After completing the steps described above, the sound should appear again.
- See if the receiver is blocked, which may occur due to covering it with a case or film. If the device is new, the protective plastic film on both panels – front and back – must be removed.
- Carefully inspect the protective film, and if dirt is visible to the naked eye, you need to wipe the element with a small brush. But, it is important to remember that the brush must be completely dry to avoid moisture getting inside the device. As any iPhone user knows, moisture is one of the main enemies of the device, which can lead to serious damage to internal parts.
- Turn on speaker during a call. If during this action the sound remains of poor quality or there is no sound, it means there are problems with the network or with signal reception. In such a situation, you can try to call another subscriber a little later or in a different place.
- Enter the voice recording program, create a short recording of the audio file.
- Click the icon at the top of the display. The sound playback between the receiver and speaker will be switched.
- Click the appropriate button to record audio using the gadget's built-in receiver.
If after this you hear a clear, clear recording of high quality, then the problem lies in the company's network - the telecom operator or in the voice mail system. And if the misunderstanding is still not resolved, it would be correct to contact the device manufacturer directly. This can be done through the official website by writing to the support service.
If none of the methods given above - both from specialists and from Apple - helped, do not waste time. As soon as possible, contact one of the certified repair centers or the support service of the manufacturer of Apple gadgets.
Apple devices have always been distinguished by balanced sound, which is suitable for playing the vast majority of music genres. However, it does not suit all users.
If you are among those who want to improve the sound of music on iPhone, these tips are especially for you. We have put together the simplest recommendations for improving playback quality to help you get more pleasure from music.
👍 Thanks to the guys from re:Store for the advice.
1. Set up playback in Music
In the “Settings” > “Music” > “Playback” menu, you can work with three items:
"Equalizer"- you can experiment with this point, depending on the equipment you use with the iPhone:
- “More Lows” is great if you use AirPods.
- "Late Night" will increase the volume played through the speakers.
- Loudness equalizes the sound along an "equal loudness" curve, and this improves the sound at low volumes.
"Volume Limit" should be used if the source you use most often does not perform well at maximum playback. Otherwise, disable it.
"Volume Correction" equalizes the level of the current song in relation to the previous one. To make each song play more emotionally, it is better to disable this setting.
2. Select high quality Apple Music
By default, High Quality is disabled in Settings > Music > Cellular Data. This makes it possible to listen to music from Apple Music even in unstable mobile Internet conditions and consume a minimum amount of traffic.
However, if we are talking about improving sound quality, then all Apple Music users should definitely try turning on that same “High Quality”.
Even more or less stable 3G is already enough for playing tracks from a streaming service, LTE is generally complete. But in this case the traffic will fly away almost 3-4 times faster, so it’s better to think about unlimited.
3. Listen to "uncompressed" audio. Yes, that's possible
In 2018, users are still divided into two types: the first are fond of streaming services following the example of Apple Music, but the second continue to advocate for uncompressed audio recordings.
If you're thinking about improving the sound quality from your iPhone and it's not critical for you to use Apple Music, try the Flacbox app (free + purchases).
With this program you can open almost any music file on your iPhone. To do this, you don’t even need to download it - you can use cloud storage, a computer connected to Wi-Fi, and PowerDrive flash drives.
Use FLAC files to get the best playback quality. Some argue that today the difference between compressed and uncompressed music is almost impossible to hear, but this is by no means true.
4. Adjust the equalizer for your headphones
Many third-party applications (the same Flacbox) will give you access not to a simple, but to a multi-band equalizer with 10 “tracks” with a preamplifier and a whole fan of pre-prepared settings.
It will help you customize the sound to suit your personal sense of beauty: squeeze out their headphones or iPhone speaker maximum.
It’s just a pity that Flacbox and similar applications cannot access Apple Music.
5. Mix the recordings into a music set
If we are not talking about personal listening to musical compositions, but about a group, in this case the first place comes not just from high-quality sound, but from playback that is not interrupted by pauses.
The next time you gather your friends and have a party, be sure to try apps that mix selected songs without pause.
The most famous of these programs is djay Pro for iPhone (RUB 749). Free analogue - Pacemaker Music.
You just need to create a playlist of your favorite recordings, connect your iPhone to loud speakers and turn on the automix.
Such applications are especially relevant for the holidays, and before the New Year you need to learn how to use them 100%.
