Apple executive says Touch ID is sticking around amid reports the iPhone 12 might bring it back

%name Apple executive says Touch ID is sticking around amid reports the iPhone 12 might bring it back by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When Apple introduces a new technology, it typically signals the end for a piece of legacy technology. The introduction of the Lightning connector, for example, effectively replaced the 30-pin dock connector for good.

With that said, it was only natural to assume that the introduction of Face ID on the iPhone X a few years ago would mark the end of Touch ID. Over the past few weeks, though, we’ve seen reports suggesting that Touch ID may stick around for quite some time.

An all-new chip could give the iPhone 11 features that no other iPhone has

%name An all new chip could give the iPhone 11 features that no other iPhone has by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We’re just one day away from Apple’s biggest press conference of the year: The iPhone 11 keynote. The phones will look a lot like their predecessors, as Apple is still relying on the same overall design it introduced with the iPhone X two years ago. But all three devices are getting a brand new camera system that dictates a significant change on the back — there will be a large triple- or dual-lens camera array, according to rumors.

Like every iPhone generation, the iPhone 11 handsets will also pack new components, but this year’s models are tipped to feature a part unseen before on an iPhone.

Astronauts come one tiny step closer to building an off-world base

%name Astronauts come one tiny step closer to building an off world base by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

NASA will be sending humans back to the lunar surface in the very near future. Following that, plans for a crewed mission to Mars are also in the cards, and eventually, we might even see permanent settlements on one or both of those new worlds. For that to be possible, those brave space travelers are going to need somewhere to stay over the long term, and concrete could play a major role in the construction of off-world homes.

Now, in another first for the International Space Station, astronauts on the orbiting laboratory have tested how common concrete mixtures perform in ultra-low gravity. The experiments, while rather straightforward, are helping to build the knowledge base for future construction projects in space.

New iPhone 11 leak confirms what we already knew about the phone’s design

%name New iPhone 11 leak confirms what we already knew about the phone’s design by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We are just hours away from the official unveiling of the next iPhone, but until Apple takes the stage on Tuesday, the leaks will continue to spring, as they did once again last week. Prolific leaker Mr. White shared a photo on Twitter on Friday that appears to the front panel of one of the new iPhone 11 models. As per usual, he didn’t provide any other details, so all we have is the photo itself and a vague note about it not being special.

In a Reddit thread about the leak, multiple users claimed that the screen pictured is an LCD, which implies that this is not an iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max, but likely the follow-up to the iPhone XR (provided it is a legitimately leak in the first place, of course). Yet more evidence that the 2019 iPhone line will look similar to the 2018 line.
