How much will the iPhone 12 cost? Real prices leaked onto the internet
The presentation of the new generation of Apple phones is just around the corner. There is currently a lot of talk among Apple fans about what the new iPhones will bring and what their price tag will be. Although some of the information has already leaked onto the internet, we still know little. The iPhone 12 should copy the design of the iPhone 4 or 5 and thus offer its user first-class performance in a more angular body. There is also a lot of talk about the arrival of 5G technology, which all upcoming models will handle. But how are we doing with the price? Will the new flagships be more expensive than last year?

The first information about the price of the new iPhones came already in April. It is necessary to realize that this was more of a first tip, or approximation, at what price level the iPhone 12 could be. The latest information came from the well-known leaker Komiya. According to him, the basic versions, or models with a diagonal of 5,4 and 6,1″, would offer 128GB of storage and a price of 699 and 799 dollars. For a larger 256GB storage, we should pay an additional $100. The very basic 5,4″ iPhone 12 should cost around 16 without tax and other fees, while the second mentioned option will cost 18 and again without tax and fees.

As you all know, there are still two more professional models waiting for us with the designation Pro. The basic version with 128GB of storage and a 6,1″ display should cost $999. We will then pay $6,7 for the larger model with a 1099″ display. Models with 256GB of storage will subsequently cost $1099 and $1199, and the highest version with 512GB will cost $1299 and $1399. At first glance, the prices seem quite normal. Thinking of buying a new iPhone?
The new virus can also get into applications on the Mac App Store
Exactly a week ago, we informed you about a new malware that spreads in a really interesting way and can make a real mess of your Mac. Researchers from the company were the first to draw attention to this threat Trend Micro, when they described the virus at the same time. This is a relatively dangerous virus that is able to take control of your Apple computer, obtain all data from browsers, including cookie files, create so-called backdoors using JavaScript, modify the displayed web pages in various ways and possibly steal a number of sensitive information and passwords, when internet banking may be at risk.

The malicious code itself began to spread among developers when it was located directly in their GitHub repositories and thus managed to get into the Xcode development environment. Because of this, the code could spread smoothly and, most importantly, quickly, without anyone noticing. But the main problem is that to get infected, it is enough to compile the code of the entire project, which immediately infects the Mac. And here we run into a stumbling block.
Some developers may have mistakenly packaged malware in their application, sending it among the users themselves. These problems have now been pointed out by the aforementioned two employees of Trend Mikro, namely Shatkivskyi and Felenuik. In an interview with MacRumors, they revealed that the Mac App Store could theoretically be at risk. Bugs can be overlooked fairly easily by the approval team that determines whether or not an app will even get a look at the apple store. Some of the malicious code is practically invisible and even a hash check cannot detect the infection. According to the researchers, it is not at all difficult to hide a hidden function in an application, which Apple subsequently overlooks, and the program with the given function appears in the App Store without any problems.
So it is certain that the Californian giant has a lot to work on. However, the employees of Trend Mikro remain optimistic and believe that Apple will deal with the problem. For now, however, we unfortunately do not have more detailed information from the apple company.
