Apple iPhone 14 May Have A Sad News For Its Fans

Image source: 9to5mac.com

According to the source, the upcoming iPhone 14 won’t have an improved version of Touch ID. The fingerprint-scanning system was the primary way to unlock iPhone for years.

Touch ID went away in 2017 when the iPhone X arrived, bringing over 3D face recognition to replace it. Apple has improved Face ID ever since, both when it comes to design and functionality. However, now the wearing of face masks is so widespread, Face ID is less useful than it used to be.

Face ID is more sophisticated and secure than Touch ID, but some iPhone fans have been waiting for years for Apple to bring the fingerprint sensor back to the iPhone.

Fingerprint Sensor Returns 

Rumors had recently suggested that Touch ID would return with the iPhone 14, which is supposedly going to launch in September.

It was said that Apple is reportedly working on an under-display fingerprint scanner to match those offered by rival devices from Samsung and Huawei.

However, the recent trusted resources that the engineers have now abandoned the plans.

“Apple engineers are no longer working on an under-display fingerprint sensor for the iPhone. The Cupertino-based company has been working on this for years, but it looks like Face ID is the way to go.” According to a source.

According to the resources, the staff who used to work on touch ID has been moved to the face ID department back in January.

Meanwhile, the company recently released an update to iOS 15, the latest version of the iPhone software. It allows users to unlock their devices while wearing a mask so this might be the last nail in the coffin for the touch ID scanner and the fans might never see it again.

This year’s iPhone timeline is almost similar. However, a slightly different format suggests the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be in the launch lineup.

That means the iPhone Mini has been swapped for the iPhone Max, likely due to buyers preferring bigger screens.

Apple has two ways of adding Touch ID to the iPhone 14. One of them is placing the sensor under the screen, just like most Android phones. The other comes from the iPad moving Touch ID to the standby button. But Ross Young said on Twitter that iPhone 14 won’t be getting Touch ID.

Young is the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC). He has been a steady source of accurate display-related rumors for unreleased products, iPhone included.

Isn’t This Boring By Now?

We have lost count of the number of celebrity dancing videos we have seen at this point that has angered netizens. And it makes us wonder for real: are they not bored by now? There are a host of things happening right now that their attention could be diverted to! However, why does the roving eye always settle on a celebrity doing what normal humans do?

The answer could lie in netizens simply not perceiving celebrities as humans. They’re seen as these symbols of glamour and luxury and are also burdened with being perfect. However, here’s where the irony comes in: since when did dancing become indecent or immoral? The issue is simply that Mishi Khan is old and older women are supposed to become more religious as they age.

Registration of a vehicle is required before you can bring it on the road. Moreover, the registration fees are different depending on the vehicle and its engine capacity. After the purchase, you also need to pay a tax. Tax is collected on two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles. While registration is only required once, car tax needs to be paid annually.

You must also know that the rate of vehicle tax varies. It depends on the engine capacity too. For engines with capacities up to 800CC, the tax is Rs.1,000. As the engine capacity increases, so does the tax rate proportionally. So for instance, for commercial vehicles, the tax rate is calculated based on the seats.

What Is MTIMS

MTIMS is the Motor Transport Information Management System that was created in collaboration with the Federal Excise Department. The system is an advanced car management system that does pretty much everything for them. 

It has the ability to provide information on the status of a car’s registration and also its current ownership or its tax. 

MTMIS In Sindh

The Govt has announced that the Excise and Taxation Department will initiate the ‘Sindh Vehicle Registration and Verification Online’ services. They plan to do this through MTMIS. The purpose of this is to allow the public to get basic information on cars by adding basic information like the vehicle’s registration plate or CNIC number.

MTIMS can also help protect you from any type of vehicle-related theft or fraud. Also, it is important to note all this also applies to motorcycles.

Ever wanted to know what space tasted like? Well, even if that’s not on top of your flavor list, now you can find out with Coca-Cola releasing a Starlight flavor.

The limited-edition flavor is currently available only in the United States. According to Coca-Cola, it has “notes reminiscent of stargazing around a campfire, as well as a cooling sensation that evokes the feeling of a cold journey to space”.

Starlight Coke

Starlight Coke comes in both sugar-free and original form. The reddish color is described as a “dash of the unexpected” by the company.

Coca-Cola have high hopes when it comes to the impact this new flavour will have, with a press release from the brand describing it aiming “to bring space to life with one sip” and “capturing some of the mystery and essence of what we love about what lies beyond our atmosphere”.

Twitter Reacts

The new flavor of Coca-Cola doesn’t seem to fit the imagination of Twitter. Whoever has got their hands on the drink has a thing or two, to say the least.

“Coke Zero sugar, “starlight” limited edition: Eh? Like cream soda, caramel flavor. My first impression of smelling it was cotton candy. Weird (slight) aftertaste. I’ll get the regular Diet Coke next time, but I’ll drink these on the meantime.” Another wrote.

Did Designer Omar Farooq Just Copy Burberry’s Campaign?

Marketing campaign holds a great space in the fashion industry. Coming up with new designs and launching a brand isn’t just about designing but also portraying the best image of your brand. Meanwhile, designing marketing can only be done with creativity and passion.

However, not all designers put an effort to come up with the right marketing ideas and strategies and just like designs and accessories, campaigns are also copied.

Recently, designer Omer Farooq copied Burberry’s campaign or as we would like to think so. However, we will let you be the judge.

Omar Farooq’s New Collection 

What seems like a fashion campaign for the latest fashion editorial is raising eyebrows everywhere. The picture of the model shows him standing on a replica of grass and weed. It seems very ordinary but only until you take a look at Burberry’s campaign for sustainable fashion back in 2020. Fancy taking a look?

Plagiarism Or Inspiration?

Ricardo Tisci, the creative director for the British brand Burberry, offered a line of sustainable goods back in 2020. The collection offered clothes and accessories featuring recycled and repurposing materials, fabric scraps, and fishnet.

While the campaign aligned with the brand’s idea and produce, it seemed quite sensible to make the model stand on the replica of grass. Because what is sustainable fashion if you are not thinking about the environment? However, does the same apply to Omar Farooq’s campaign? Did he produce this collection while keeping sustainability factors in mind? We don’t think so!

Not to mention that his latest collection is named “Space/Time” which sure doesn’t align with the theme of the photoshoot.

While the boxes might not look like a word game at first, they represent how well a player did on the day’s puzzle, without giving away the solution.

Want to get in on the action yourself and see if you can guess the right word? Use this guide that includes tips and tricks to get started right away.

1. Pick The First Word Carefully 

The most important tip is to pick your first word carefully. According to Tyler Glaiel, who ran all the numbers to find the perfect starting word, the best first words are ROATE and RAISE. On average, you can get the correct answer within three guesses when using either of those words.

However, since Wordle solutions are usually only commonly used words (not off the wall Scrabble words like “syzygy”), ROATE probably won’t ever be the unicorn first guess answer. RAISE, on the other hand, could be.

2. Play Around With Vowels

You’re not going to run into a Wordle without at least one vowel. So, make sure your first word includes at least a few vowels, especially “a,” “i,” and “e” as these are the most commonly used vowels.

3. Play Past Puzzles 

While there’s only one puzzle per day, if you didn’t start playing from day one, there are some archived puzzles to take advantage of. This helps you build your own strategy. Wordle Archive lets you play all the past puzzles in one place.

4. Choose Between Default and Hard Mode

You might not realize there’s a Hard mode if you’ve never clicked the Settings icon at the top-right corner. To add an extra layer of difficulty, Hard mode makes you use any hints you’ve been given in subsequent answers. This means you can just guess another random word to get more hints. Your next guess must incorporate all hints you’ve received thus far.

5. Skip Grey Letters 

This might sound obvious, but one of the best Wordle tips is to just avoid using any gray letters. However, remember if a letter turns green or yellow, you could still have a duplicate of that letter. For instance, if you guessed “CHILD” and everything turned green except the “D,” the solution could be “CHILL.”

Dove’s Latest Campaign Sheds Light On Beauty Standards

Image Source: Vimeo

Have you ever posted a selfie without editing it? None of us has been spared by the tempting world of filters and editors. We all have at least a few pictures in our album with filters the social media has to offer. But the question is who is the one to come up with the idea and why have we given into it?

A similar question was raised by Dove in its latest campaign. They asked young, Chinese women, whether they would post a picture on social media without a filter and the answer is an overwhelming ‘No’.

“The pressure to present an ideal image online is tearing down the self-esteem of girls across China,” further adding.

My Beauty, My Say

The campaign “My Beauty, My Say” includes a five-minute video. Documenting some young Chinese women who shared their personal stories about their appearance.

Throughout the five-minute film, they reveal that “posting non-beauty filtered pictures is like stripping online”, while also discussing their beauty anxiety and which parts of their face and bodies they prefer to alter before sharing them online.

Take a look at the video below.

“When confronted with childhood pictures of themselves, the film takes an emotional turn when the women realize that their younger selves didn’t need nor want any photo filters. When asked if they would like to be part of a photoshoot and post entirely unedited pictures of themselves, they’re initially reluctant but eventually agree.”

Testimonial From The Vice President 

“For over 60 years, Dove has advocated for real beauty, representing beauty as it is in real life,” said aid Alessandro Manfredi, Executive Vice President at Dove Brand.

“With the advancement in mobile technologies and applications, digital distortion is now happening on a much bigger scale. The selfie beautification apps have profoundly changed how we look at ourselves and each other.”

The campaign notes that so many apps are available that easily allow image-altering capabilities that once were reserved for photoshop. The social pressure of always looking your best online has triggered more people in general. It isn’t related to celebrities and influencers only to alter characteristics and our appearances that we believe are flaws.”

“We see so much creativity and expression of self-identity through the use of filters and editing apps. However, these apps are used to digitally distort images to conform to narrow beauty standards.  With women, in particular, feeling the pressure to edit and distort themselves to create something ‘ideal’ which cannot be achieved in real life,” added Manfredi.
