Happy New Year and Apple Battery Replacement Plan

It's Tuesday January 2nd 2018 happy new year and after Apple said last week they would start replacing iPhone batteries at a discount at the end of this month that didn't go over too well so now the company says they will get and replacing the batteries forthwith as in right now however it should be noted that the Apple replacement program is so far limited to iPhone 6 models and later so if you have an iPhone 5 5 s 5c or iPhone 4 you're sort of out of luck we say sorta because I device repair site I fix it is matching apples replacement offer including for the 4 and 5 models with a small caveat you have to do it yourself fortunately I fix it org is popular for just that reason they have clear step-by-step instructions and videos on how to correctly do the battery swap and in the case of the iPhone 4 and 5 models it's actually pretty easy I fix it even includes the tools you'll need in the package hit the link for all the details

CES is just around the corner really it's next week we're gearing up for the annual tech carnival here at DT with some early news releases including this literally big announcement LG will be showing off a mammoth 88 inch 8k OLED TV at the show not a 4k set like their previous $20,000 77 inch OLED flagship and 8k said so is 8k about to take over like 4k did with HD just a few years ago well maybe but probably not for a while while 8k TVs look damn impressive prototypes have been on the CES for four years now there is no content to play on them which was the same problem 4k video had for years even now most broadcast and cable is still in HD so a world of 8k video is still a ways off but what a world ould be on a huge set like the LG 88 8k video is so detailed it almost looks 3d without being in 3d it's kind of weird actually but still pretty cool so we can't wait to see it firsthand

Ever since the very first cameras were put in use back in the 1800s photographers have had to grapple with one aspect of cameras that could vary widely in quality the lenses because light is a fickle mistress the pursuit of the perfect lens goes on to this day but a reason breakthrough at Harvard may change things in the near future called a Meadowlands the optical device is capable of focusing light passing through it onto one point very evenly the holy grail for lens makers the problem with regular lenses from the spendy one's Pro photog fused to the ones and telescopes VR and AR headsets your phone and nearly everything designed to capture an image is that the light doesn't quite land evenly on the film or chip leaving photos slightly distorted or with color fringes more glass elements and lenses are used to correct the problem meaning lenses are big heavy and expensive to make and by plane our meta lens tech changes all that it's complicated tech but basically these tiny things here are smaller than the wavelengths of light itself so they can focus it very precisely and the meta lens itself is paper-thin lightweight and compared to traditional lenses sort of simple it can be created in the same way computer chips are made so the tech there isn't that new it was just a problem making it work across the visible spectrum the Harvard s CAS team says they've solved that big issue no commercial metal lenses are available just yet but this could revolutionize photography and many other lens dependent technologies especially AR and VR headsets which could shrink a lot

A mammoth 88 inch 8k OLED TV will be shown off at CES.

iPhone 6 models and later so if you have an iPhone 5 5 s 5c or iPhone 4 you're sort of out of luck we say sorta because I device repair site I fix it is matching apples replacement offer including for

for a while while 8k TVs look damn impressive prototypes have been on the CES for four years now there is no content to play on them which was the same problem 4k video had for years even now most broadcast and cable is still in HD so a world of 8k video is still a ways off but what a world ould be on a huge set like the LG 88 8k video is so detailed it almost looks 3d without being in 3d it's

of cameras that could vary widely in quality the lenses because light is a fickle mistress the pursuit of the perfect lens goes on to this day but a reason breakthrough at Harvard may change things in the near future called a Meadowlands the optical device is capable of focusing light passing through it onto one point very evenly the holy grail for lens makers the problem with regular lenses from the spendy one's Pro photog fused to the ones and telescopes VR and AR headsets your phone and nearly everything designed to capture an image is that the light doesn't quite land evenly on the film or chip leaving photos slightly distorted or with color fringes more glass elements and lenses are used to correct the problem meaning lenses are big heavy and expensive to make and by plane our meta lens tech changes all that it's complicated tech but basically these tiny things here are smaller than the wavelengths of light itself so they can focus it very precisely and the meta lens itself is paper-thin lightweight and compared to traditional lenses sort of simple it can be created in the same way computer chips are made so the tech there isn't that new it was just a problem making it work across the visible spectrum the Harvard s CAS team says they've solved that big issue no commercial metal lenses are available just yet but this could revolutionize photography and many other lens
