iPhone 12 Pro can measure body height and other things using LIDAR

For the first time, Apple is also integrating a LIDAR module into its smartphones. The “Light Detection and Ranging” technology works with laser beams and can precisely detect distances; the sensor is located together with the photo technology on the back of the iPhone 12 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 12 Pro Max As Apple now writes in a new support document, the LIDAR module is not only used for improved augmented reality experiences (AR) or faster autofocus. Practical applications such as size measurement are also possible.

The measuring tape app does it The “Tape Measure” app, which Apple has preinstalled, is used for this. This is possible “from the floor to the top or the top of the silhouette (hair or hat)”. You can even “measure the height of a person sitting in a chair”. It is not particularly difficult: With the measuring tape app open, you only have to point the iPhone at the person to be measured – they must be completely visible on the display.

“After a short time, the Person (or above the hair or a hat) and directly below you can see the result of the measurement, “says Apple. It is also possible to take a photo of the measurement and save it. Then the recording ends up in the Photos app and can be edited and shared.

Measuring went earlier The tape measure application can do even more. Do-it-yourselfers should be happy about the automatic detection of the dimensions of rectangular objects; In addition, you can also take manual measurements and use an edge guide in which auxiliary lines are displayed – for example when taking measurements of furniture, doors and the like.

Measuring sizes with the iPhone is basically not a new function – it is previously there was the measuring tape app with V

All hopes of Apple’s AirPower charging mat are lost, yet again

If you haven’t heard of the AirPower charging mat, it was a product that Apple announced in 2017 along with the drastically redesigned iPhone X which would let you wirelessly charge AirPods, an Apple Watch, and the iPhone, wherever you placed them on the mat. Apple eventually announced it was abandoning the project, reportedly due to complications with overlapping charger coils overheating.

Apple shows off the AirPower charger during its September 2017 keynote

Some time passed after the initial cancellation and new reports from reliable Apple leaker @JonProsser claimed that the AirPower charging mat had re-entered development and even managed to get the Apple Watch to charge (which was a reported issue within the first round of development.

All AirPower prototyping / testing has been removed from the schedule for 2021.

Sources doubt that it’ll ever be picked back up again.

Seems like once again, AirPower is dead.

— Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) October 26, 2020

On Monday, the same leaker refutes his own reports stating that Apple has once again cancelled the AirPower mat. According to Prosser’s sources, they doubt that Apple will ever get the AirPower into development again. This would coincide with a shift in Apple’s recently announced MagSafe, which has created a new ecosystem for iPhones and accessories. MagSafe seems to be a lower-risk alternative to AirPower for Apple and besides, other third-party OEMs have already invented a similar three-product wireless charging pad without the overlapping coils.

The spirit of the AirPower mat unofficially lives on with the new 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe made by Belkin. It has the magnetic mounts for the iPhone 12’s MagSafe with up to 15W wireless charging speeds and supports AirPods and an Apple Watch, all simultaneously. This Belkin charger retails for $150 in the US.

PSA: Your new iPhone 12 or 12 Pro might need contact tracing re-enabled

Getting a new phone is exciting, but it can also lead to spending an annoying amount of time adjusting settings, permissions and notifications for all your apps. Cloud backups are supposed to make this process easier, but they don’t always catch everything – for instance, you’ll want to double-check that COVID-19 exposure notifications are still enabled on your new iPhone 12 if you restored from a backup. They might not be, according to BBC News.

If you’re concerned you might be affected, you can re-enable exposure notifications in iOS by opening the Settings app, selecting Exposure Notifications, and clicking “Turn On Exposure Notifications.”

Users first noticed issues with the official National Health Service (NHS) contact tracing app in the UK. When some iPhone 12 and 12 Pro owners tried to open the app after restoring an earlier iPhone backup, they were presented with an error message. Deleting and redownloading the app seemed to solve the problem by prompted the users to re-enable COVID-19 exposure notifications — but also deleted all the locations the users had previously checked into.

It’s not clear if this issue is exclusive to iPhone 12 models or if restoring any iPhone from a backup might turn off the setting: we’re asking Apple and will update you with what we hear. When we restored one of our own iPhone 12 phones from a backup, we did notice exposure notifications were turned off — so we suspect the issue might be at a system level rather than with specific apps like NHS.

The exposure notification system was originally announced in April and uses your phone’s Bluetooth to let you know if you’ve come in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19. The resulting notification can also direct you to up-to-date COVID-19 information online and where you can schedule a test for yourself.

Contact tracing, whether automatic or conduc

Apple's new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro iFixit dismantled

New iPhones get an overall rating of 6 / 10. The main criticism is of the rear window, which requires the whole phone to be dismantled and the body to be replaced.

Apple released the iPhone later this year after getting used to it, apparently due to delays associated with the corona pandemic. The iPhone 12 collection now includes four different models, of which the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have now been unpacked by iFixit.

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are carved from almost the same wood. According to iFixit, as an interesting detail, the screens work crosswise, although the typical maximum brightness of the Pro model screen is higher. When the screens are removed, the biggest difference between the phones is in the protective covers of the rear camera module. The new iPhones have been built almost as mirror images as usual, so that a larger circuit board has been fitted. Apple is praised for its SIM reader, which is modular and easy to replace, in addition to which the speaker elements are attached this time with standard Phillips screws. However, pentalobe, tri-point and standoff screws have also been used in telephones.

The similarity of the phones also applies to the battery. Both use an identical 10, 78 watt-hour battery and also cross-tested when tested by iFixit. The new batteries are clearly smaller in capacity than the last generation, but apparently the new components are at the same time the most current-efficient, as the battery life has not deteriorated, at least according to Apple’s official position. The special L-shaped batteries seen in the iPhone 11 generation have given way to the traditional rectangle.

The motherboard of the new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models continues its familiar almost identical line. The only differences between motherboards consisting of two separate circuit boards are in the serial numbers of the circuits and in the memory of the system circuit. The iPhone 12 is equipped with 4 and 12 Pro 6 GB of LPDDR4 memory. The modem for the phones is the Snapdragon X 55, known from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 platform, which is supported by an SDR 865 5G and LTE transceiver. The demolition images also show the mmWave 5G antennas found in the US model, one of which is located

Apple iPhone 12 in for review

A new iPhone must be viewed through the lens of your current handset – how you see the iPhone 12 is quite different if you’re holding, say, an 11 Pro compared to how you see it compared to something like the XR or even older. And if you have an Android, Apple’s phones may be a preview of what’s to come in 2021.

The new vanilla model represents a fairly major upgrade over its predecessors, the iPhone 11 and XR. The first thing you’ll see is the OLED display – it’s the same size (6.1”), but is sharper, supports HDR10 and has that excellent contrast native to OLED panels.

There’s also 5G connectivity (including mmWave in the US), so your phone is future-proof. We know that coverage is spotty or even non-existent in some regions, but Apple provides 5 years of major iOS updates and the coverage map will look quite different in 2025.

MagSafe is another way the new model is future-proof. With new accessories from Apple and others already unveiled, the future of iPhone’s add-on ecosystem seems strongly tied with the magnetic wireless charging system. If nothing else, it’s faster than Qi (15W vs. 7.5W) and enables new use cases (e.g. Belkin’s in-car mount).

This is a good time to segue into the topic of in-box accessories. Or should we say “accessory” as you’re only really getting a USB cable (the SIM ejector doesn’t really count). It’s a USB-C to Lighting cable, meaning you finally get a cable that can connect your iPhone and your MacBook. Also, a cable that can’t be plugged into your old chargers without an adapter (which you have to buy separately).

And since we’re talking about money, the iPhone 12 is more expensive than before. The mini took over the iPhone 11 price point, the vanilla model now starts at $800.

While you can use the charger and cable from your old iPhone, you can upgrade your charging speed to 20W by spending just $20 for the new USB-C charger. A MagSafe charger is $40 and requires a USB-C charger, anyway. Reasonable prices, but they do add up, especially considering that you’re starting $100 higher in the first place.

We did buy a MagSafe charger, as you can see, so we will be testing the charging speed. Actually, we received our iPhone 12 last Friday so we’ve already begun the testing procedures and will have results to share with you soon.

Moving on from the accessory situation, even that $100 price bump isn’t enough to get 128 GB, base storage is still 64 GB. And telephoto cameras remain exclusive to the flagship models.

But this year the hardware gap between the vanilla and small Pro models seems smaller than it did last year. The price gap is smaller too as the vanilla got pricier, but $200 is not easy to overlook. We also have an iPhone 12 Pro on the way, so we will be a

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro ace the drop test, but the back glass is vulnerable

With the iPhone 12 series Apple introduced Ceramic Shield, a new type of screen glass which “provides the biggest jump in durability ever on iPhone”. The company specifically advertises a 4x increase in drop resistance, so naturally, someone put those claims to the test.

The videos below show an iPhone 12 and an iPhone 12 Pro. Note that the Shield only protects the front, the type of glass used on the back is unknown, but it’s definitely less strong. Also, the Pro models have stainless steel frames while the two vanilla phones use aluminum.

And you’ll see that the two materials are damaged differently. Apple’s revised design for the front also helps as the screen glass is flush with the frame, so the metal absorbs some of the impact.

Make sure to watch until the end – in the “bonus bonus round” the phones are dropped from just under 1.5 meters (5 ft) onto concrete, which is more likely to cause damage. And before the concrete drop, each phone faceplants onto a smooth metal surface 10 times.

The damage isn’t exclusive to the front, mind you, damaging the glass on the back risks ruining the camera too, so using a case is still probably a smart idea (but you can forgo a screen protector). Still, keep in mind that out of warranty screen repair will cost you

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro without secrets and without veils in the iFixit teardown

The new iPhone users have passed under the irons from iFixit, which unveiled some interesting details of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, such as the interchangeable display

by Nino Grasso published on 26 October 2020 , at 11: 45 in the Apple channel

Apple iPhone

After broadcasting the teardown live on YouTube last Friday iFixit has published the images complete with details on what is inside the new iPhones 12 and iPhone 12 Pro . The company demonstrates the presence of some changes compared to last year, and some gems such as the possibility of replacing the iPhone display 12 Pro with that of the iPhone 12 and vice versa.

The same panel, in fact, can work both if installed on the base model and on the “Pro” variant, even if there is a small difference between the two models in terms of maximum brightness. The Pro’s display is in fact slightly brighter. Another interesting detail, among the “secrets” discovered during the teardown, is that the two smartphones are very similar under the body , to such an extent that iPhone 12 has a sort of plastic spacer where the Pro implements the tele modules and LiDAR sensor in the rear camera. The two modules are in fact absent on the iPhone 12.

Both devices use modular components , therefore easily replaceable and a godsend for do-it-yourself repairs. Among these we have the SIM slots, often subject to breakage. A new improvement in terms of repairs is related to the introduction of new rubber seals to protect the speaker grilles from various types of infiltration by keeping them in place: “This makes it easier to remove the speaker and the replacement procedure than over the years. previous years required to work with various adhesives “. Considering that the speaker must be removed for battery replacement, the new design is certainly welcome.

Compared to the L-shape design previously used for the battery, the new iPhones use a more traditional rectangular unit which should have allowed Apple to save on production costs. The Taptic Engine, or the advanced vibration motor, is the same between iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, while it is different than previous models (smaller and slightly thicker) . One of the novelties is MagSafe, the new hooking system of the rear body that makes use of 18 magnets reachable by disassembling all the components of the devices.

The repairability rating? iFixit assigns a score of 6 out of 10 , the same as the last generation. Two strong points: the replacement of the display and battery is facilitated by the design, chosen on purpose to make the procedure as simple as possible, and the modularity of many components that can be easily replaced. However, some historical problems remain: the use of proprietary screws and increased resistance to liquids can make repairs complicated, just as the use of double-sided glass adds the risk of breakage during operations.

(Pocket-lint) – Back in 1999 Honda launched a small, quirky coupe known as the Insight. It was the first hybrid car to officially be sold in the UK, beating the Toyota Prius to our shores by a matter of months.

Since then, most of the Honda range has received the hybrid treatment at one stage or another, so it’s perhaps surprising that we’ve had to wait so long for the company’s first hybrid SUV.

Outwardly, the new Honda CR-V Hybrid is fairly conventional. There’s no plug-in option as yet, so its electric-only range of 1.2 miles is about what you’d expect. Underneath the skin, however, it’s subtly different to the majority of existing hybrids.

How does it work?

For much of the time, the 2-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine is simply used to power a generator. It’s only under high loads that an automatic clutch kicks in to provide a physical connection to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission.

1/7Pocket-lint

This means the CR-V’s control system flits backwards and forwards between three different modes: EV Drive, where the motor simply runs on charge stored in the battery; Hybrid Drive where the engine functions as a generator; and Engine Drive where – you guessed it – the engine is connected directly to the wheels.

In terms of capabilities, it’s similar to the ‘e-CVT’ setup found in cars such as the Prius, but Honda claims its single-speed transmission is smoother, more refined and more compact. We’ve found it capable enough, but there is that band-on-a-wheel feeling to acceleration – i.e. it’s not the quickest to get moving.

Design

The new CR-V range debuted in 2018 and apart from a few badges the Hybrid is identical to the petrol models (diesel is no longer an option, which is no surprise in eco-focused markets).

Pocket-lint

There’s a notable step up in interior space compared to the outgoing CR-V, thanks to a longer wheelbase, although the battery pack does eat into the boot volume somewhat on the Hybrid. That also means the Hybrid is denied the regular CR-V’s seven-seat option, but unless you have young children that’s unlikely to be a concern. That said, whether you’d want a vehicle this large without such capacity is up for question – it’s not as visually refined as many other SUV options on the market in our view.

Indeed, Honda has played it quite safe with the styling, both inside and out. You won’t find any giant touchscreens looming out of the dash, any fancy ambient lighting, any delicate visual touches. It is, however, cleanly presented and logically laid out. Material quality is generally very good too, although there are a few flimsier plastics to be found and not everyone will be a fan of the wood-effect trim (see our pictures) – count us in on that – but fortunately there are other options are available.

What’s it like to drive?

As with the rest of the range, the Hybrid comes with choice of two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, but the motor and battery configuration remains unchanged.

Consequently, it’s the lighter two-wheel drive variant that’s quicker off the line, covering 0-62mph in a respectable 8.8 seconds (versus 9.6 seconds for its four-wheel drive counterpart). The two-wheel drive variant is also marginally more economical, posting an official combined fuel consumption figure of 53.3mpg, while the four-wheel drive model comes in at 51.4mpg.

1/12Pocket-lint

Those figures might not sound especially impressive for a hybrid, but they translate well to the real-world, with our test car recording 49mpg – usefully more than we would expect to see from a petrol-only model in similar conditions – when driving from Kent to Oxford for a test day. So while the 1.2 miles of pure electric sounds like nothing – which is accurate in EV-only mode – you can actually see the knock-on benefit here.

You do get clear benefit from the hybrid setup though. Pulling away in EV Drive is remarkably quiet and almost eerily smooth. Outright performance is relatively modest in this mode and it obviously doesn’t take long for the battery to run out of juice, but the switch over to Hybrid Drive is virtually seamless.

For a car with no plug-in option, it’s also remarkable how often the CR-V Hybrid seems to get by on electricity alone. That said, with so much going on in this space and some great options – such as the Skoda Superb iV Estate plug-in – being available, if you really do want enhanced hybrid benefits then we’d suggest looking elsewhere.

The CR-V’s throttle response is noticeably more direct than a typical CVT setup and the sound isn’t as intrusive either – thanks, in part, to Honda’s Active Sound Control system, which uses the cabin speakers to cancel out certain frequencies in the engine noise.

Pocket-lint

There’s a pleasingly soft edge to the Hybrid’s ride, aided by the use of hydraulic bump stops that aren’t found on the standard CR-V. It’s a good fit with the car’s easy-going nature, which majors on comfort. Push a little harder and you can start to sense the added mass compared to the non-hybrid model, but if that’s a major factor in your buying decision, the CR-V probably wouldn’t be your first choice anyway.

Which trim?

The Honda CR-V Hybrid is offered in various grades: S, SE, SR and EX; with S only available in two-wheel drive form, and EX only with four-wheel drive.

Pocket-lint

All models come with a sophisticated suite of safety features, dubbed Honda Sensing, which includes automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition. Upgrading to SE adds parking sensors and a rear-view camera, while the SR and EX also feature blind-spot warning and cross-traffic monitoring.

There’s a slightly bigger gap to SR spec, which adds smart entry and keyless start, plus a leather interior and active cornering lights. Meanwhile, the top-spec EX edition includes a heated steering wheel, head-up display (HUD), hands-free powered tailgate, heated rear seats, and panoramic glass sunroof.

Tech

Gone are the old CR-V’s analogue dials, replaced by a virtual instrument cluster based around a 7-inch LCD display. Along with a large digital speedometer, a power gauge (in lieu of a rev counter) and a charge status indicator, there’s what Honda refers to as a content zone. This is a configurable area where you can scroll through things like navigation instructions, media information and smartphone contacts. There’s even an Eco function, which can analyse your inputs and award points for greener driving.

Pocket-lint

From SE trim upwards, the CR-V Hybrid comes with Honda’s Connect infotainment system based around a 7-inch touchscreen display. The in-built apps aren’t the slickest to use or the smartest to look at, but they do feature plenty of functionality, including Garmin satellite navigation with five years’ free map updates as standard.

Smartphone connectivity, however, opens up a host of other options via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, including Google Maps, Waze, Deezer and Spotify. That’s the ticket.

Verdict

The Honda CR-V has never been the most exciting car in its class. Instead, it focuses on providing comfortable, spacious and practical family transport – although in Hybrid form you can’t get it as a seven-seater.

Starting at £29,105, the Hybrid is just over £3,000 more than the equivalent petrol model. That’s around the same premium that you might pay elsewhere to go from a petrol manual to a diesel automatic, with the Hybrid offering roughly the same reductions in CO2 and fuel consumption.

Thing is, while you needn’t plug this SUV in (indeed, you can’t), the electric-only range of 1.2-miles only really brings minor benefits. And with so much else coming to market, such as the Skoda Superb iV Estate plug-in – which has regenerative capabilities that would serve better range even if you never plugged it in – it’s hard for the CR-V Hybrid to compete against a widening crowd. Even its diesel competition, such as the Mazda CX-5, will serve you well for long journeys with a smaller cash outlay to start wth.

Overall, the Hybrid builds on the standard CR-V’s quietly conventional strengths without any major compromises. Its blend of practicality, dependability and build quality is commendable, even if it lacks excitement or a more advanced tech setup inside.
