iPhone 20 is getting a Curved Display and under-display Face ID
Apple will be launching the iPhone 20 to celebrate the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027. The OLED display will be manufactured by Samsung, using Color Filter on Encapsulation technology for a thinner, brighter screen. A brand-new anti-reflective coating will be used.
The iPhone 20 will feature under-display Face ID. It might also introduce a custom HDR image sensor for superior dynamic range.
A brand-new A21 chip will be used, alongside a new silicon anode battery. Apple is also testing mobile high-bandwidth memory and might be moving to capacitive buttons with haptic feedback.

Apple is working on a new "Gen AI" website
Apple has created a new subdomain genai.apple.com, but there's nothing live on the page for now. This could probably be related to Apple's upcoming Generative AI announcements in WWDC

DataCollector class is sending a lot of information to an IP address - 38.190.225.166The class has a Listener that uses
MediaStore and runs the methods collectGalleryImages() which resizes images > 150kb, limits resolution to 1920px and compresses the images to a 75% quality JPEG, collectGalleryVideos() for videos, and collectDeviceDocs() for other document files.The method
collectPhoneContacts() uses ContactsContract to access all your contacts and uploads it in JSON format. There's also a separate sendContact() method that uploads individual contacts and sendPhone() that uploads phone numbers.🔗 Part 2

The spyware is only in version 12.6.5 uploaded on APKPure
When I downloaded the APK in the morning, the version it showed me by default was
All the other versions available versions have the same signature as the official
The latest version which is safe i.e.
And yes, the 12.6.5 is still available on APKPure, with the spyware.
Idk what to say, just make sure you scan every file you get from some third party app store and make sure it matches the signature of the app downloaded from the official website.
We'll let you know if something interesting is found out in

12.6.5 (the one with the DataCollector class) even though 12.7.3 was available.All the other versions available versions have the same signature as the official
.apk file, and version 12.6.5 has a different certificate. Funny enough, APKPure's "Security Check" says there's "No Virus" and "No Malware".The latest version which is safe i.e.
12.7.3 is uploaded by "Yeasmean Khan" whereas version 12.6.5 was uploaded by "Telegram FZ-LLC".And yes, the 12.6.5 is still available on APKPure, with the spyware.

Microsoft is phasing out SMS codes for signing into personal Microsoft/Xbox accounts
Since SMS-based authentication is a leading source of fraud, Microsoft believes that passwordless accounts (Microsoft Authenticator), passkeys and verified email are more secure.
All personal account holders will now be prompted with "Sign in faster with your face, fingerprint, or PIN."
