If you’re wondering why the under-display camera on the iPhone Duo’s internal display isn’t placed in the upper right corner, Chinese leaker Instant Digital has provided an explanation. “The camera under the screen of iPhone Duo was not placed in the upper right corner of the inner screen due to technical difficulties,” the leaker said in a Weibo post this morning. “The next generation will probably move it there, aligning it perfectly with the exterior screen camera.” This looks like a real engineering challenge, since the opposing rear cameras are the thickest elements of the entire phone, but let’s wait…

Buena Vista Distribution The 1982 masterpiece “Tron” is one of the film industry’s finest feats of computer-generated imagery (CGI). The film’s effects were built frame by frame, using a combination of animation and CGI to create the world that Jeff Bridges’ Kevin Flynn finds himself in. However, the work was not recognized or awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which instead disqualified the project from the special effects category that year at the Academy Awards, ruling that the extensive computer use was cheating. “Tron” was still…
One thing that’s important to keep in mind when thinking about the sound and listening features of the new Apple Watch is the S11 chip. It’s designed with what Apple calls “secure exclave,” where the raw audio coming from the watch’s microphone is processed. This is where the sound is transcribed and processed, and only the results of this interpretation leave the exclave. It won’t store any received audio, Apple claims. With this, there are four sound-related updates. The first is the simplest: improvements to Shazam on your watch. Right now, if you want to bring up Shazam to identify…

The iPhone 17e tech specs page lists an identical 26mm, ƒ/1.6 main camera with hybrid focus pixels, the same autofocus terminology Apple uses for the iPhone Duo. The match is not complete, however. The technical specifications of…
