Apple goes 5G maybe in 2020
When it comes to LTE Advanced, so called 5G, Samsung
already has released their first smartphone to do so. 5G
is already launched in some countries already for usage.
But what phone should you buy now? Hard to say…

In Switzerland, 54 cities will now benefit from 5G networks.
The three major carriers, Swisscom, Salt and Sunrise have
activated the necessary infrastructure to provide the users
with fast cell network. However there’s one catch…
Samsung is already stating that the first charge of Galaxy
Fold is sold out… Hooray! Err… wait a minute. Do we smell
another Galaxygate here? It seems as if first customers
report that their phone begins to black out (screen breaking)
When it comes to huuuuuge airplanes, we all suddenly
think of the Airbus A380 or some others might also see
the Antonov 225 as being the largest flying plane to date.
But now the Roc enters the field.
Well just few days ago, one would have thought, it’s the final
showdown between Apple and Qualcomm especially with
Apple having four more chip manufacturers at hand who also
stated that Qualcomm’s practices about license fees aren’t ok!
It gets uglier and uglier in the fight between Qualcomm and Apple
But now there’s a new competitor in the house. With four new
fighters on the side of Apple, the tide may turn against Qualcomm.
Not less than 27 billion(!) US$ are on stake here!
Hardly any other brand has such interest when it comes

fan community who give suggestions on how the
upcoming generation of the iPhone might look alike.
It seems as if the battle between Intel and AMD takes a new step.
Especially when it comes to features, AMD does everything right.
The EPYC however is a server processor or at least a workstation
processor aiming at those users which demand CPU power.
Intel has revealed a new NIC that might open 100GbE network
speed to end users. Although it’s doubtable that one would
pay 1500 US$ and more for a NIC just to have 100GbE in his
machine, it’s obvious where network speeds head to.
When it comes to chip production, TSMC is a major brand.
7nm is already working fine although Intel still struggles.
AMDs newer ZEN processors are produced at 7nm already.
TSMC now starts production at 5nm and the Cortex A72.
Privacy is a thing of concern and they all seem to have their
problems with it. Facebook however got caught several times
failing to secure personal data. In this case again millions of
user datasets have been exposed using cloud services.
Who of you still know the high-end brand “Vaio” of Sony?
5 years after their last presentation of new notebooks it
seemed as if Sony had Vaio die in silence and focus solely
on entertainment devices. But now they’re back! And how!
Apple has put up 14 (another writing form for 1.1.1.1) in the

purpose: The Archos Play Tab.
NVidia has released a new type of Graphics drivers for
their graphics cards. All these with Turing chips will now

The ECG feature of the Apple Watch Series 4 has been
locked down to the USA since it’s release. With the new
release of WatchOS 5.2 this has changed: The ECG feature
has been made available outside USA now.
It seems to be hard times for Oracle when it comes to
Cloud Services. According to various news portals,
Oracle has started laying off employees who are involved
in Cloud development. An internal mail shows changes…
This is truly a bad day in european history!
Despite the fact that Article 13 of the copyright
plan will definitely lead to an uncontrollable
censorship of free opinion and free speech…
Quicktime facing end of life soon. Apple dropping
32bit-Support in MacOS thus cutting off Quicktime,
Cinepak, Radium and DivX video codec support.
This means 64bit-capable codes are the only choice.
When Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada
accused for industrial spionage her personal
goods were also seized for forensic investigation.
Interesting that she uses an Apple iPhone…
3D with photorealsim was always a dream of the computer
industry since the very beginning of 3D graphics rendering.
The main problem however was that real-time rendering of
3D scenes was complex and computers didn’t have the power.
When it comes to new gadgets and releases, Apple
is always in line for surprises. But also the apple fan
community takes it’s time to create interesting
mockup concepts of possible upcoming devices.

The 7th generation of the iPad Mini now supports
the Apple Pencil 1st generation and comes with
the A12 Bionic processor but without FaceID.
When you speak of Privacy, then mostly the own
data is meant. Where Cloud Services and also
manufacturers of hardware, like Apple or Samsung
point out to be safe, Apple sees their hardware safe!
This may not be a good day for Qualcomm at all!
In the ongoing fight between Qualcom and Apple
it seems as if Apple sees some light in the case.
Qualcomm demands patent royalties from Apple.
DirectX 12 on Windows 7? Am I seeing right?
Yes, you do. With the release of World of
Warcraft Patch 8.1.5, Blizzard made DirectX 12
available with limitations to Windows 7 users.
While other smartphone companies prefer the
spotlight of the MWC to show their latest phones
and software releases, Apple prefers to hold their
own event inhouse to do so.
Ever thought, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is up to
level with the FaceID technology from Apple?
Well… it should be but it seems as if Samsung
still thinks that their security feature is secure.
It seems as if Qualcomm tries to squeeze out
money from Apple wherever possible. Their
newest lawsuit case is about 31 million US$
for three patent infringements.
No good time for Boeing at the moment. Another
plane of the just recently released Boeing 737 Max 8
has crashed in Ethopia. Few months before the same
type crashed in Indonesia. What’s wrong, Boeing?
