Smartphone sales are plummeting
Current coronavirus crisis literally she changed the world. Many people have lost their jobs and some are living in uncertainty. This, of course, is reflected in the very thinking of individuals who now definitely they won't annually to cross to the latest phone. Falling sales there are quite a few smart phones inevitable matter which was influenced by several factors. First, they are customers, who now value their money more than ever before. Due to the spreading pandemic, however, there was also closure quite a few factories and plants, among which of course there is no shortage phone manufacturers and individual components. According to the agency TrendForce unfortunately, the second quarter of this year will bring a record 16,5% drop in smartphone sales, precisely for the reason mentioned crisis. Overall, TrendForce expects that in 2020 there will be k 11,3% drop, which points to the fact that phone sales could at least partially pick up again in the second half of the year up. A new one could also do its job iPhone SE, which now combines perfect performance and is available for relatively a low amount.
Of course, closed factories and generally low demand also reflected on the side Apple. As we could currently see, the whole world expected that we will see the presentation of the mentioned iPhone SE of the second generation already in March. But the opposite was true and we had to wait until mid April. The same news is now circulating about the flagship, or iPhone 12, at which it is considerable the performance date is in jeopardy. The Californian giant presents its premium models every month September, which, of course, we cannot count on at all this year. The main contractor can also have a big part in this delay Foxconn. Apple phones are assembled in this company, but Foxconn continues to be remains closed. It remains to be seen how sales will fare unclear and of course we will have to ask for more detailed answers wait.
The iOS 13.5 beta revealed two great features
Tiles on a group FaceTime call
FaceTime ranks as one of the most popular channel for communication across the apple community. If you are one of these users and often use e.g group video calls, you will definitely be pleased with the new feature that appeared in beta operating system iOS 13.5. Until now, group calls offered the so-called dynamic appearance. This means that the person who just speaks automatically enlarged her tiles while the others seemed to movebackground. Although this may seem logical and most users are comfortable with it, there are definitely groups of people for whom the mentioned dynamic appearance is literally thorn in the heel. Because of this, Apple is adding a brand new feature to the settings that will enable you to do this turn off and FaceTime offers you so you can say static appearance.

How will Face ID deal with a masked user?
Another great news from Apple will delight users in particular newer iPhones, who rely on technology Face ID. Due to the current coronavirus crisis governments all over the world had to make people compulsory wearing masks, thereby partially preventing the transmission of the infection. But the problem lies in the technology Face ID. Although this is still a revolutionary technology that uses a 3D scan of your face to recognize whether you are an authorized person, with mask of course you already are won't help. So far it has been offered to the users themselves a few options how to make your life easier with this biometric authentication even in these times. Either you could be clever by a trick scan your face to give you Face ID recognized even with a mask, by which you are considerably breached security of this function, or you could Turn off Face ID completely and rely only on code lock.

But let's pour some pure wine - neither of these variants is suitable for normal use. Apple has finally responded to this problem and in beta released today we waited new features, which will make unlocking the phone much easier for users with Face ID and a face mask. Once Face ID in this beta version detects that you have a mask will immediately offer you the option write the code. You can certainly argue that this function is relatively useless and you can do without it. But the problem is that the Californian giant can not make compromises on the side security and this is probably the only option that will really make life more pleasant for several users. You have had to wait until now a few seconds in addition, before the iPhone offered you to enter code, which was especially true when paying through Apple Pay annoying. This feature is currently only available in beta, however, the release of the operating system iOS 13.5 for the public we should wait in the coming weeks.

No trick is needed to unlock an iPhone with a mask. iOS has a feature to set an alternate skin for this and it works for me without too much trouble.

And by the way - you can't send posts to the discussion on wifi in the UPC network. Either you have something stupidly set up or someone doesn't like you, but this state has been going on for a few months. Of course, you won't find out from the ones that don't work, they'll just stop coming here. Someone probably wants to harm you. ?
