Apple says iPhone and iPad apps will show up on the visionOS App Store from the get-go

Posted by in category: mobile phones

While Apple’s famed Vision Pro headset is not available for purchase, the company is making sure that users get plenty of apps to use when they finally get it. The company said today that iPhone and iPad apps will show up on the visionOS’ App Store on the launch day.

This means developers won’t have to do extra work to port their existing apps. Apple said that this fall, it will release a developer beta version of the visionOS including the App Store.

“By default, your iPad and/or iPhone apps will be published automatically on the App Store on Apple Vision Pro. Most frameworks available in iPadOS and iOS are also included in visionOS, which means nearly all iPad and iPhone apps can run on visionOS, unmodified. Customers will be able to use your apps on visionOS early next year when Apple Vision Pro becomes available,” the company said in a post.

The First ‘Apple Silicon’ : The Aquarius Processor Project

Posted by in categories: computing, mobile phones

Apple’s own System on Chips (SoC) designs used in iPhones, iPads and now Macs (with ‘Apple Silicon’ branding) are a key source of competitive advantage for the Cupertino giant. The Arm instruction set compatible, but Apple designed, processors used in these SoCs, consistently outperform competitors’ designs.

Apple is the modern exemplar of the maxim from Herman Hauser, founder of Acorn, Apple’s partner in the original Arm joint venture, that ‘there will be two types of computer company in the future, those with silicon design capability and those that are dead ’.

But Apple’s first attempt to design its own processor came over twenty years before the appearance of the first iPhone. We’ve seen in the RISC Wars Part 1: the Cambrian Explosion how, as the 1980s progressed, almost every semiconductor manufacturer and computer maker felt the need to have their own processor design. Apple was no exception.

Posted by in categories: mobile phones, space

Two new sleep studies on the International Space Station are helping astronauts and folks here on earth get a better night’s rest.

“Have you ever been told not to look at your phone before bed? This is because the blue light affects your Circadian rhythm — your natural response to changes of daylight,” reads a European Space Agency (ESA) X post from Friday.

Russian State-Backed ‘Infamous Chisel’ Android Malware Targets Ukrainian Military

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, military, mobile phones

Infamous Chisel is described as a collection of multiple components that’s designed with the intent to enable remote access and exfiltrate information from Android phones.

Besides scanning the devices for information and files matching a predefined set of file extensions, the malware also contains functionality to periodically scan the local network and offer SSH access.

“Infamous Chisel also provides remote access by configuring and executing TOR with a hidden service which forwards to a modified Dropbear binary providing a SSH connection,” the Five Eyes (FVEY) intelligence alliance said.

Honor Magic V2 & Honor V Purse — The Future of Foldables?

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, mobile phones, sustainability, transportation

Don’t always follow what is popular, as what is good becomes popular, like the iPhone vs Nokia phones. How many people has Tiktok poached from Facebook? WeChat is inspiring Elon Musk. Yeah China has made fake stuff in the past, but this isn’t as well as China’s electric car market. I don’t discriminate, and I even want to buy my parents a Nigerian car that runs on LNG and CNG. Eric I hope if they make this concept, you buy Gen this Honor V Purse, or even buy both of you the Honor Magic V2.

How ubiquitous keyboard software puts hundreds of millions of Chinese users at risk

Posted by in categories: computing, mobile phones

For millions of Chinese people, the first software they download on a new laptop or smartphone is always the same: a keyboard app. Yet few of them are aware that it may make everything they type vulnerable to spying eyes.

Since dozens of Chinese characters can share the same latinized phonetic spelling, the ordinary QWERTY keyboard alone is incredibly inefficient. A smart, localized keyboard app can save a lot of time and frustration by predicting the characters and words a user wants to type. Today, over 800 million Chinese people use third-party keyboard apps on their PCs, laptops, and mobile phones.
