It's Friday, October 13th, and Apple fans with $1,000 to burn are counting down the days until Cupertino releases the iPhone X or iPhone 10, the new halo phone that features an OLED screen from top to bottom with almost no bezels, although it could be fair to say it has ears. Our friends over at BGR have been poking around and found some interesting new features most notably around how Apple was able to create that top-to-bottom display.
Apparently, Apple folded the bottom of the display around itself in order to connect it to the display controller which runs the display. However, since the controller takes up some display room and there was no room at the bottom of the phone, they came up with that interesting solution. But this raises a question: if they can make the OLED display do a 180 like this, would it not be fairly easy to make a curved or bendable iPhone? Sure seems like it now.
Apple also changed up how notifications are displayed on the iPhone 10 according to phone arena. The content of notifications will only display if the face ID system recognizes your mug, otherwise it just shows you have a generic notification. This is a little privacy please, we appreciate it. It appears that the iPhone 10 will quickly disappear from store shelves on November 3rd in case you missed it.
Virtual reality gear has just gone from expensive and somewhat cumbersome to cheap and wireless in like a year, pretty amazing. Facebook owned Oculus recently announced their upcoming Go headset which they say will cost just two hundred dollars and be entirely self-contained, no tethers to spendy computers needed. The debut of the Go headset is set for early next year, sadly.
We do know what's going to power the Go system, a device this size is essentially a specialized smartphone without the phone part, so it makes sense that a smartphone chip like the Snapdragon 835 or maybe something a bit newer will power the headset. We also know the view screen will be a dense 2560 by 1440 pixels, further reducing the screen door effect that plagued first gen headsets and motion tracking will be done from the Go headset itself using a three degrees of tracking system or three DOF, a new acronym you should probably learn ASAP.
The Go will also support apps including Facebook 360, Hulu, Netflix, astronomy apps, and more. We've got a full rundown of what could be a breakout VR system that finally cracks the wider tech market. If you want to learn more, hit the link for all the details.
For car fans and Corvette fans in particular, Chevy is looking to produce a mid-engined Vette, well it sure seems that way if these spy shots are any indication. Auto blogs tireless photo spies caught what appears to be a heavily camo'd mid-engine vette trolling the streets of ironically Cadillac Michigan where the test driver apparently made a pit stop at Mickey D's. Rumors of a mid-engined Vette have been around for decades but it looks like GM is serious about the project now and there could be a new engine in the mix as well, Corvettes currently use powerful but technically archaic pushrod v8.
The new car could transition to a double overhead cam plant which would improve fuel economy and also boost power variable valve timing, well chirp why not but we're only guessing on that point. Anyway, hit the link for the whole story and start saving up for your dream car.
