Many rumors say that Apple is testing many different iPhone prototypes using USB-C ports. In the product range, almost the company has switched to this port instead of Lightning, except for the iPhone. Therefore, many people hope that the company will switch to USB-C on the iPhone 14 Pro, so that they will only need to use 1 charger cable for everything from their iPhone, iPad to Macbook. However, the recent leak may disappoint you: Apple will still maintain the 10-year-old Lightning port.

The real cause may not be what many people think. Some say that Apple firmly refuses to kill Lightning on the iPhone because they want to head to a future without ports. According to iDropnews, the actual cause for this is actually very predictable and not as profound as you might think. In fact, the iPhone 14 Pro will still use the Lightning port, just because it brings money, a lot of money for Apple. The USB-C port may be handy for you, but it goes against that purpose of making money.

Very simple! Apple can charge a royalty to any manufacturer that wants to sell hardware with a Lightning port. From cables, dongles, charging docks, battery cases, headphones,... So they will make a lot of money and won't have to switch to USB-C because they will lose that abundant source of income. Apple will continue to exploit Lightning until it has enough technology to realize an iPhone without a port.

At this point, the battery charging or data transfer jobs will be done via MagSafe. And of course, the company continues to collect royalties.

For Apple supporters, the Lightning port on the iPhone 14 Pro may still be something of value. The company is currently maintaining the rather outdated USB 2.0 standard on Lightning ports. But to the iPhone 14 Pro generation, this connection port will be upgraded to USB 3.0 speed. If you have a need to record high-quality movies according to Apple's ProRes standards, this will be a worthwhile improvement. Copying data to a computer will be faster thanks to the larger bandwidth of USB 3.0.

According to iDropnews' own source, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are unlikely to have this upgrade. However, he is quite sure that the iPhone 14 Pro and the most advanced Pro Max version will have USB 3.0 standard Lightning. At the same time, the company continues to upgrade the MagSafe transmission speed to a higher level. Not only with products in the ecosystem but also with outside, such as Windows or Linux computers.

They are pouring a lot of resources into R&D to completely solve technical barriers. Perhaps by the iPhone 16 or 17 generation, Apple will remove the Lightning note to move towards a portless future.

Samsung is the name most talked about in terms of issues surrounding phone performance squeezing lately, but it seems to be getting more common and likely to get worse.

Samsung admits to squeezing the performance of apps, though it explains the reason behind this is to make sure the phone doesn't overheat. According to the information, the cause may be due to the ARM design platform that Samsung and Qualcomm have taken advantage of for their flagship processors.

Unlike Intel, ARM does not manufacture its own chips. Instead, the company designs the processors and licenses those designs to any company interested. Qualcomm and Samsung are two of ARM's biggest customers. Both use ARM designs in their flagship Snapdragon and Exynos processors.

According to BusinessKorea, industry experts believe that ARM's latest designs are partly to blame, as the problem affects many different manufacturers. Samsung chips, as well as those made by TSMC for Qualcomm, are equally affected, not by the manufacturing process.

Interestingly, Apple's chips do not appear to be affected, despite being based on ARM designs. Industry experts believe that Apple and ARM can better tailor the processors for use with iOS. In contrast, Samsung and Qualcomm are shouldering the burden of making their chips work with different device manufacturers and Android versions, making it difficult for those processors to be as well optimized as the Apple A series. -series or Apple M-series (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra).

Hopefully, Qualcomm and Samsung will find efficient ways to adapt their designs to compete with the power efficiency Apple offers. Otherwise, overheating phones and performance-squeezing processors could become the "new normal", something that is clear to those users who have spent tens of millions of dong on high-end devices that they don't want.

Recently, Vivo has launched its first folding screen phone, the X Fold. This phone series takes a similar approach to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and is also a market competitor with an internal folding screen measuring 8.03 inches to use as a tablet and a screen. Compact size 6.53 inches on the outside with features like a regular phone.

Similar to Samsung, Vivo's folding screen uses a layer of Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) manufactured by Schott with high durability. GSMArena says the hinge of the X Fold can be opened 180 degrees or held at angles from 60 to 120 degrees. According to Android Autoity, Vivo advertises its X Fold phones as being able to fold 300,000 times, much higher than the 200,000 times figure on Samsung's latest folding phones.

In addition to the ability to fold, Vivo X Fold is also equipped with leading hardware. In particular, X Fold is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, battery capacity up to 4,600 mAh, 50W wireless fast charging technology and 66W wired fast charging. Both screens of the X Fold support 120Hz refresh rate and have an integrated ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

According to Android Authority, on the back, Vivo X Fold is equipped with 4 cameras including: 50MP main lens, 48MP super wide-angle lens, 2x 12MP telephoto lens and 5x 8MP periscope lens. Both the inside and outside screens are equipped with a punch-hole front camera with a resolution of 16MP.

Vivo is a brand of the BBK empire, which is also the parent company of Oppo, OnePlus and Realme. Last year, Oppo also launched its first folding phone called Find N, an impressive product and slightly smaller in size than Vivo X Fold. Currently both products are only for the Chinese market.

The price of Vivo X Fold is about $1,413 for the 12 GB Ram version and 256 GB flash kit. There is also a 512GB version of memory priced at $1,570

Last week, Microsoft delivered one of the most important updates to Windows 11. This update brings a number of taskbar improvements, a redesigned Media Player, and improved Notepad (plus dark mode). However, one of the other standout features in the update is the ability to run Android apps on Windows 11. Hence, it's quite surprising that the 2000 and lower AMD Ryzen processors were released without the feature.

Windows 11 officially supports AMD Ryzen 2000 series processors, so being crossed out like this can disappoint many users. Many people have been looking forward to this feature because the Amazon Appstore brings more than 1,000 additional apps and games to Windows 11.

Microsoft did not give a reason for the “AMD Ryzen 3000 (minimum)” specification requirement. However, the Android compatibility layer implementation relies heavily on Intel Bridge Technology, so these are probably the minimum system requirements for that technology.

The other three important requirements are that the system needs at least 8GB of RAM and is recommended to have 16GB of RAM, install and run their Amazon Appstore apps from the SSD instead of the HDD, and have virtualization enabled. otherwise will face some unforeseen problems. Windows 11 only needs 4GB of RAM and can run on a regular HDD.

Back in June of last year, it was confirmed that Microsoft will support Android apps on Windows 11 and that AMD Ryzen processors will still be compatible with this function. Intel says Intel Bridge Technology will "support all x86 platforms (including AMD platforms)". However, the difference in specifications between the Zen+ and Zen 2 processor architectures could be the main reason why the Ryzen 2000 series was dropped.

Android apps are not originally designed for desktop computers and don't run natively on Windows 11. Virtualization and emulation often have higher hardware requirements, and that may explain why 8GB of RAM is the minimum. Android apps are also tweaked to run on flash memory, so the HDD is too slow.

Microsoft has created a lot of controversy when it comes to recommended minimum system requirements for Windows 11, which include 8th Gen Intel CPUs and above as well as AMD Ryzen 2000 and above. There are many questions raised regarding the specifications of these processors as well as the need for the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) requirement.

Microsoft later asserted that previous generations of processors were "not recommended" due to "compatibility or other issues". At the same time, systems that do not meet the minimum specifications will "no longer be guaranteed to receive updates, including security updates."
