iPhone Users Need to Update Their iOS NOW!

iPhone Security Update

If you own an iPhone, then you need to hit ‘update; for the latest security updates from Apple.

This is because the tech-titan did not address 3 or 5 problems, but 51 in their latest roll-out!

Apple’s new patches fixed a number of issues iPhone users were facing, including an iOS 12.2’s flaw that could allow malicious applications to access the microphone on your iPhone and record you and those around you.

Another issue which was taken care of was the problem with FaceTime which prevented users to conduct video chat(s) from pausing after leaving the application.

Another fix is to close the loophole allowing users to access sensitive information in the Messages app and websites (Safari) to see information from their phone’s light and motion sensors.

These are just a few of the most shocking security flaws found in iOS devices.

Samsung Pakistan drops Samsung mobile prices in the country.

Although, this move might be the company’s new strategy for its rivals as the discount was announced on the launch date of the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro.

Samsung has slashed the prices for Galaxy S10 and Galaxy A9 respectively. The previous price-tag for the S10 was set at PKR 164,999 that has come down to PKR 142,500, while the A9 was at PKR 99,999 and is now available for PKR 79,999.

Samsung Galaxy S10 & S10+ Officially Launch in Pakistan

One of the leading retailers in Lahore told PhoneYear:

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus which is priced at PKR 185,000 is doing good in Pakistan as compared to the smaller version, Galaxy S10, however, A9 is nearly a dead product in terms of sales

Reportedly, Galaxy S10 sales in Korea have also seemed to hit a speedbump. Which is why the brand has also considered reducing its prices in the Korean markets as well.

While the Galaxy S10 is a high-end flagship for the tech-titan, Galaxy A9 belongs to 2018 lineup and is a mid-ranger.

Mehwish Hayat Receives Love From Bollywood Celebrity

She first paid no attention to the haters but now it seems like she has decided to give final shut down to all the haters.

Earlier today, the Load Wedding actress took to her Twitter account and posted a series of tweets where she gave a befitting reply to all the haters.

She wrote:

Debate all you like whether you think I deserve the award. Every1 is entitled to their opinions. I respect that. However, I draw the line when my character is questioned. I’ve been called a tawaif, a slut, a whore & much more so often that it has stopped affecting me.

She added:

I never wanted to make this a gender thing but it is unfortunate that others seem to be. To suggest that I slept my way to this award is an abhorrent slur on all the hard working women in our country. We may be part of an industry that is seen to be  glamorous

She further said:

but it doesn’t mean that we have forsaken our morals. What gives anybody the right to drag my name into the gutter. You don’t know me! Thank you to all the supporters & also to all the haters, it has only made me stronger.Last couple weeks have been quite an eye-opener for me.

And it’s the first card that actually encourages you to pay less interest.

The card can be used as a Visa or MasterCard all around the world. For every transaction a user makes using the card, they get a certain amount of cash back, and because it is cash, it can be utilized with the next purchase.

The user-friendly interface lets the individual keep a track of all their transaction including the location and amount they were charged for.

Apple Card doesn’t have any fees or any hidden charges as per the brand. There’s no annual, cash‑advance, over-the-limit, or late fees at all. Not just that, but the Apple Card reportedly provides interest rates that are among the lowest in the industry.

Apple Card estimates the interest you’ll wind up paying, based on any payment amount you choose. And it does it in real time, so you can make an informed decision about how much of your balance to pay down

All the advanced security technologies of Apple Pay — Face ID, Touch ID, unique transaction codes are built right in. For utmost privacy, there are no numbers on the physical card.

You can pay with the Apple card if there’s a store or outlet which does not accept Apple wallet payments, thanks to the partnership with MasterCard.

Celebrating Pakistan’s Resolution Day, thousands of Lahoris participated in the annual #LahoreMarathon2019.

The marathon covered a 10km route (starting from Gaddafi Stadium roundabout) and was aimed at promoting a softer image of the country, through engagement of citizens in healthy activities.

With the recent on-going tensions in the region, Lahore Marathon is an initiative of the District Administration Lahore aimed at delivering a message of peace on Pakistan’s Republic Day.

The Marathon invited citizens of all ages and gender to #RunForPeace, symbolizing a communal petition of peace and harmony globally. The non-profit event will be title sponsored by the brand Oye Hoye and organized by Dreamweaver Productions.

Our very own Pakistan-based brand Oye Hoye is truly proud to support the state in delivering this revolutionary narrative to bring out a positive message from Pakistan throughout the world said Director Marketing of United Snacks, Mian Shahzad Khalid.

Participants were facilitated with hydration points and aid stations (staffed by an ambulance team) throughout the route. The road traffic was also restricted throughout the duration of the competition on all running routes with further assistance from traffic and local officers, in accordance with legislation.

While ensuring a positive image for the city and the department, the project also provided entertainment for the public. Acclaimed Bangra band Sahara UK performed live on the closing ceremony at Alhamra Arts Council.

Mawra Hocane Lashes Out At Sushma Swaraj For Interfering In Pakistani Affairs

Sushma Swaraj

Over the weekend, it was reported that two minor girls were forcefully converted from Hinduism to Islam and then married off to Muslim men in Ghotki.

The news created a storm on social media and people just couldn’t stop talking about it.

Prime Minister Imran Khan then instructed Murad Ali Shah, Sindh CM to look into the matter and take steps to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

Athiya Shetty Wants To Visit Pakistan & Meet Mawra Hocane

However, the incident initiated a debate around the world where even Indians criticized Pakistani authorities and held them responsible for it.

Similarly, the Indian Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj took to her Twitter account and posted a Tweet, tagging the Pakistani Information Minister.

She wrote:

Mr.Minister  @fawadchaudhry – I only asked for a report from Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad about the kidnapping and forced conversion of two minor Hindu girls to Islam. This was enough to make you jittery. This only shows your guilty conscience. @IndiainPakistan.

The tweet caught the attention of Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane and she couldn’t stop herself from replying.

She wrote:

While I attach this video I do realise that Two wrongs DON’T make a right. Let’s not make this about protecting Hindu girls or Muslim families, let’s make this about protecting human lives across the subcontinent, across the world.

It’s not about ministers, it’s about the public!

She also requested to stop inculcating hate.

It’s hard to go to sleep while SO MUCH is wrong with the World today. Especially when the People in power instead of finding a solution are giving fuel to the fire. I wonder what will be left for them when they do succeed in their self destructive agendas.

iPhone SE 2 to Finally be Revealed?

iPhone SE 2

Everyone around the world is eager for Apple‘s grand event which is to take place at their Headquarters in California!

There are many different speculated outcomes coming from whispers about what the tech-giant may have in store for their audience, including the most awaited iPhone SE 2.

The SE 2 is rumored to be a 4.5″ (11.43 cm) device with a screen resolution of 640 x 1136 pixels and runs on the iOS v10 operating system. The device is powered by Quad-core, 2.34 GHz processor paired with 2 GB of RAM.

Facebook Stored Millions of Passwords as Plain Text!

Given that Apple’s newer phones are a bit out of range for many individuals who are wanting to purchase an iPhone, Apple can certainly time it right and bring the popular SE variant back.

The original SE was discontinued in September 2018. With a new SE phone in the market and eager fans, this might just give Apple sales a push the brand was eagerly waiting for.

On the other hand, according to MacWorld, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted in early 2018;  along with updates to the iPhone X and a bigger version with an OLED screen (now known to be the iPhone XS and XS Max), Apple would launch a cheaper iPhone in September 2018.

The XR arrived and the SE was discontinued. A typical strategy for the tech titan which we have seen it do for some time now. However, given the reports of Apple’s latest sales, it appears that the strategy is no longer doing the company well.

Could a new cheaper handset be the solution? Time will tell!

Laal Kabootar Review: Closer To Reality Than You Think

laal kabootar

Every once in a few years comes a film that surprises the audience by being closer to reality, different from the run-of-the-mill stuff and making the audience stay on the edge of their seats with its gripping execution.

Last year it was Cake, this year it is Laal Kabootar!

Synopsis

Laal Kabootar revolves around two central characters – Aaliya (Mansha Pasha) and Adeel (Ahmed Ali Akbar) – who are brought together by circumstances.

While Aaliya is searching for her reporter husband’s killer, Adeel wants to make quick money to go to Dubai and to a better life.

Insert a corrupt police officer (Rashid Farooqi), an evil businessman (Mohammad Ahmed) and their henchmen and you have a crime thriller that shows Karachi exactly as it is. Does Aaliya manage to apprehend the killer or does Adeel make it to Dubai, that’s the secondary question.

The primary question is ‘What is Laal Kabootar’ and that question will keep you engrossed in the plot till the climax.

Analysis

When was the last time you saw a Pakistani film where you saw characters instead of actors?

Laal Kabootar takes you in that zone with its perfect casting and rehearsed performances where Mansha Pasha looks the girl in search of a Laal Kabootar, Ahmed Ali as the guy who wants to have a better future and Rashid Farooqi as the cop we don’t want to piss off. Furthermore, the film is shot like a film, with no black frames in between, with proper frames, larger than life action sequences and use on real locations instead of sets.

The background score compliments the story although old cine-goers might not accept it, it perfectly syncs with whatever is shown on the screen. First-time screenwriter Ali Abbas Naqvi does a fine job, although the cuss words come out as disturbing and could have been lessened to add more commercial value.

Verdict – 4/5

Laal Kabootar maybe Kamal Khan’s first feature film but he has been in the field for quite some time, making impressive music videos as a director. He chose an interesting topic for his debut flick and what helped him was the success of web-series notably Sacred Games and Mirzapur. He seems highly inspired by the Guy Ritchie style of filmmaking and its good, considering no one in Pakistan tries to emulate the British director when his films seem closer to our situation than others.

The prominent actors perfectly fit into their characters although the theatre ones have either nothing to do (like Syed M Jameel) or they try to make most of the onscreen time to showcase their talents (Akbar Islam) and going overboard in the process. On the whole, it’s a one-time watch for all those who believe that we can’t make good films in Pakistan, because Laal Kabootar is right there at the top, with the best films ever made in the country.
