Speculation Grows About a Foldable iPad or MacBook

The delay in Apple’s entry into foldable tech is attributed to its commitment to maintaining high-quality standards. Despite working with Samsung on displays, Apple is looking for a foldable panel that meets its strict requirements. Engineers, even from projects like Vision Pro, are now dedicated to perfecting the foldable technology.

The report hints at a delayed release, possibly not before 2025, due to Apple’s meticulous approach. While this delay might disappoint those anticipating a foldable iPhone, it sparks speculation about Apple’s debut form factors in the foldable market.

One possibility is a foldable iPad, with enthusiasts speculating about a redesigned iPad Mini featuring a foldable display. Such a device could offer portability without compromising on screen size, appealing to users wanting a compact yet powerful tablet.

Rumors of a foldable MacBook also circulate, though with less certainty. Some suggest Apple should focus on perfecting foldable tech for smaller devices before venturing into laptops.

In the end, whether Apple’s first foldable device is a foldable iPad, MacBook, or a surprise, one thing is certain: the tech world will closely watch as Apple reveals its vision for the future of foldable technology.

Sundar Pichai Unveils Advanced Gemini Ultra: Gemini AI

Pichai highlighted the smarter features of Gemini 1.5, emphasizing its ability to comprehend a vast amount of information simultaneously. The model can now handle up to 1 million pieces of information at once, a remarkable improvement.

Also Read: Sundar Pichai Unveils Advanced Gemini Ultra

Google’s CEO mentioned that this allows 1.5 Pro to process extensive data, including one hour of video, eleven hours of audio, codebases with over 30,000 lines, or more than 700,000 words. In their research, Google successfully tested up to 10 million tokens.

What can Gemini 1.5 Do?

Gemini 1.5 employs a new Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, praised by Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, for its efficiency. The MoE architecture uses only the necessary parts of the model’s brains for the task at hand, making it work better and faster.

Hassabis explained in a blog post that these advancements in model architecture enable Gemini 1.5 to learn complex tasks more quickly and maintain quality while being more efficient to train and serve. Google’s teams are benefitting from these efficiencies, allowing them to iterate, train, and deliver more advanced versions of Gemini faster than before.

Currently, Gemini 1.5 is accessible only to developers and enterprise users. Google has not disclosed when and how it will be made available to the public. However, in its announcement blog, Google assured its commitment to responsibly bringing each new Gemini model generation to billions of people, developers, and enterprises worldwide.

Google mentioned that when releasing Gemini 1.5 Pro to a broader audience, it will have a standard context window of 128,000 tokens. The company plans to offer different pricing levels, starting with the standard window size and going up to 1 million tokens as they improve the model.

During the testing phase, early users can try out the 1 million token window for free, but Google cautions that response times may be longer with this new feature.

Apple Set to Resolve Trade Secrets Dispute Rivos: Tech Update 2024

In a joint court filing in California federal court on Friday, both companies informed the US District Court for the Northern District of California that they have reached an agreement potentially settling the case. This agreement grants Apple the opportunity to inspect Rivos’ systems and recover any confidential information.

Also Read: Apple Set to Resolve Trade Secrets Dispute Rivos

The lawsuit was initiated by Apple in 2022, alleging that Rivos, a “stealth” startup based in Mountain View, California, had hired numerous Apple engineers and utilized their confidential information to develop competing “system-on-chip” (SoC) technology. SoCs are integrated circuits containing various computer components in a single chip, including central processing units and graphic processing units.

Apple emphasized that it invested billions of dollars and over a decade in research to advance its SoC designs, which played a pivotal role in transforming personal and mobile computing.

Rivos, rejecting the accusations, contended that Apple aimed to penalize both Rivos and any Apple employees considering employment there from the moment Apple became aware of the promising startup. In response, Rivos filed a countersuit against Apple last September, citing unfair competition.

Last month, Apple settled associated claims against six former employees who had departed the company to join Rivos. The details of the settlement between Apple and Rivos remain undisclosed, and representatives for both companies have not provided immediate comments on the matter.

WhatsApp Introduce Lock Screen Spam Blocking Feature

This update is aimed at tackling the increasing issue of spam messages, providing users with more control over their messaging experience. Spam messages on platforms like WhatsApp have been a persistent problem, bombarding users with unwanted messages, including promotional offers and scams. With this new feature, WhatsApp aims to improve user privacy, enhance security, and create a smoother messaging experience.

The feature allows WhatsApp users to identify and block spam messages without unlocking their devices or navigating through the app. When a spam message notification appears on the lock screen, users can long-press on the notification to access various options, including the ability to block the sender instantly. WhatsApp also prompts users to report the contact.

Also Read: WhatsApp Introduce Lock Screen Spam Blocking Feature

Additionally, WhatsApp already displays a cautionary note below the contact details of any unknown number that sends you a message. This includes options to add the contact, block it, or report and block it. Apart from these direct options, users can proactively block a contact. In the “More Options” section on the Home page, go to Settings > Privacy > Blocked contacts > Add > Search or select the contact you want to block.

To use WhatsApp, users need to register their phone numbers. However, sharing phone numbers has raised privacy concerns. The company is reportedly working on a solution to allow connections on the platform without the need for phone number exchange.

In the near future, WhatsApp will also support cross-platform messaging, enabling users from different messaging platforms to text those on WhatsApp. A “Third Party Chats” section will be available on the application’s home interface, displaying messages received from users on other platforms while keeping them separate from in-app chats protected by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption.
