This Android phone does such a great job of highlighting the iPhone 8’s biggest potential problem

This Android phone does such a great job of highlighting the iPhone 8's biggest potential problem

Earlier this morning, we took a look at the most impressive iPhone 8 leak to date. Using CAD drawings that are believed to have leaked from a Foxconn factory, someone was able to build an iPhone 8 mockup out of real metal and glass. The subsequent video is likely our best look yet at what's coming later this summer when Apple unveils its next-generation iPhone 8 flagship phone.

Of course, there's one major question that no iPhone 8 dummy will ever be able to answer: what are Apple's plans for that cutout at the top of the iPhone 8's display. There are two different directions Apple could go, and a new photo of an unreleased Android phone reminds us of just how awful the first option would be.

Pictured above is an upcoming new phone from a company called Essential, which posted the image to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. Founded by Andy Rubin, one of the creators of the Android operating system, the company's first smartphone is set to be released later this year. It's a neat sounding phone with cutting-edge specs, and it follows the current trend of barely-there bezels most of the way around the display.

As your eye traces the perimeter of the Essential phone's screen, it inevitably stops in one particular spot. Yes, it's that hideous cutout at the top of the screen that takes a huge bite out of whatever graphics are displayed on the phone at any given time. Needless to say, it's a huge step in the wrong direction in terms of user experience.

According to all the leaks and rumors we've seen so far, Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 will have a similar cutout at the top of the display, where the phone's camera, sensors, and ear speaker will be located. The question, of course, is whether Apple plans to take a big bite out of the graphics displayed on the phone, or if it plans to use a smarter implementation like the one we described earlier this month.

As a reminder, here's what the iPhone 8 might look like if Apple takes the same path as Essential:

And here's what the iPhone 8 might look like if Apple uses the top portions of the display as I described:

http://media.zenfs.com/en_US/News/BGR_News/db8c-1zxcaar6fn.jpg?quality=98&strip=all&strip=all

With this solution, the top portions of the display are reserved only for status bar items, and the background always remains black. This way, you won't have a huge chunk taken out of the UI as you use the phone. There are a few question marks here like what happens in landscape mode, and it only works if the face of the phone is black, which would mean no silver, gold, or rose gold iPhone 8.

That sounds crazy, but remember that the iPhone 8 is just one of three new iPhones set to launch this year. It's entirely possible that the iPhone 8 will be made available only in black, while the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus launch with a wider color selection.

Apple is expected to unveil all three new iPhone models in September, though rumors suggest the iPhone 8 might not be released until sometime in October.


EU braces for stormy G20, climate battle with Trump

EU braces for stormy G20, climate battle with TrumpEuropean leaders vowed Thursday to defend the landmark Paris climate pact at a G20 summit next week, setting them on collision course with US President Donald Trump at what is expected to be a stormy meeting. On the biggest challenges, Europe was now "a reference point," said EU Council President Donald Tusk after the G20 preparatory meeting hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The EU stood for a rules-based international system, he said, vowing that "we speak with one voice" at the G20 summit.

Note shows gunman in 2016 Baton Rouge ambush sought to kill policeThe note's contents were among new information offered by local District Attorney Hillar Moore III that provided the most extensive details to date of the shooting rampage. It was the second racially-charged incident in July 2016 in the city, where angry protesters decried the police shooting of a black man outside a convenience store. Citing computer records, Moore said gunman Gavin Long had searched for the addresses of the two Baton Rouge police officers involved in the July 5, 2016, death of Alton Sterling, 37, outside the Baton Rouge store.

Apple is suspiciously interested in Fisker’s electric car

Apple is suspiciously interested in Fisker's electric car

Earlier this month, Apple CEO Tim Cook took the unusual step of confirming Apple's interest in developing self-driving car technologies. During a recent interview with Bloomberg, Cook was asked about Apple's aspirations in the automotive space. Responding quickly, Cook said: "We're focusing on autonomous systems. It's a core technology that we view as very important. We sort of see it as the mother of all AI projects." Notably, there have also been reports that Apple's interest in designing and manufacturing their own branded car have subsided amid a number of technical hurdles.

Curiously, a Fisker Emotion -- an EV with 400 miles of range that will presumably take on Tesla -- was recently spotted at Apple headquarters in Cupertino today. And interestingly enough, the Emotion's appearance came about after Apple engineers indicated that they wanted to take a look at the car's underlying technology.

The Detroit Bureau reports:

The likelihood of a sightseeing tour is slight. And while Henrik Fisker declined to comment – with Apple not yet responding to a request for comment – some of those sources say the Emotion was there for some very practical, rather than emotional, reasons.

Members of the Apple development team apparently wanted a closer look at the Emotion, and a better understanding of its unusual driveline technology, so they asked the Fisker crew to bring one up from that company's headquarters in Southern California.

Additionally, Henrik Fisker tweeted out the following yesterday evening. As anyone who has been to or even seen Apple's current headquarters, it's clear that Fisker was over at 1 Infinite Loop.

https://twitter.com/FiskerOfficial/status/879934037204193280

Range aside, the Fisker Emotion appears to be a technical marvel, with a fast-charging system that enables the vehicle to charge up in just nine minutes. As we noted a few weeks back, the Emotion's impressive battery system is based on supercapacitors using graphene as opposed to the more traditional lithium-ion batteries used in vehicles like the Tesla Model S.

Field studies fuel dispute over whether banned pesticides harm bees

Field studies fuel dispute over whether banned pesticides harm beesBy Kate Kelland LONDON (Reuters) - Two major studies into how bees are affected by a group of pesticides banned in Europe gave mixed results on Thursday, fuelling a row over whether the chemicals, called neonicotinoids, are safe. The studies, one conducted across three European countries and another in Canada, found some negative effects after exposure to neonicotinoids in wild and honeybee populations, but also some positives, depending on the environmental context. Scientists who conducted the European research - in Britain, Hungary and Germany - told reporters their overall findings suggested neonicotinoids are harmful to honeybee and wild bee populations and are "a cause for concern".

OK seriously, we need to talk about the crazy iPhone 8 video that just leaked

OK seriously, we need to talk about the crazy iPhone 8 video that just leaked

As exciting as the upcoming launch of a new iPhone can be, it's also fairly easy for big-time tech fans to grow numb. Especially this year, since iPhone 8 leaks starting pouring in months ahead of schedule. We've seen a constant flow of leaks and rumors hit the web, with new revelations popping up on an almost daily basis now. Most recently, the leaks have focused on the iPhone 8's now-final design, which BGR showed the world back in May.

We've seen iPhone 8 renders leak, we've seen iPhone 8 dummy models leak, and we've seen third-party cases and screen protectors leak. Needless to say, we can get a pretty good idea of what Apple's upcoming new flagship iPhone will look like by piecing all of that together. Of course, imagining the iPhone 8 is one thing and seeing the iPhone 8 is another thing entirely.

Now, thanks to a freshly leaked video, it appears as though we've seen exactly what Apple's new iPhone 8 is going to look like. And yes, it's absolutely stunning.

The video in question was put together by gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer in conjunction with a website called Tiger Mobiles, and we first showed it to you on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after it was posted. It doesn't show us an actual iPhone 8. Instead, it shows a mockup made from real glass and metal that is based on leaked iPhone 8 CAD drawings that are believed to be accurate. In other words, it's not the real thing, but in all likelihood it might as well be.

The real takeaway here is simple: Apple's iPhone 8 looks fantastic.

For reasons unknown to anyone outside of Apple, the company decided to reuse the same iPhone design for three consecutive years. We can all speculate as to why the iPhone 7 looks almost exactly like the iPhone 6s, which looked almost exactly like the iPhone 6, but all we can say for certain is that Apple chose to veer from its typical strategy of refreshing the iPhone's design every other year.

Well, that's not entirely true because there's one more thing we can say for certain: Apple fans are long overdue for a fresh new iPhone design. And this coming September, they're going to get it.

Which brings us to yesterday's big iPhone 8 leak. We had seen the design in one form or another at least a few dozen times, but it all came together in Hemmerstoffer's video. Let's have another look:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW1gx086ZxU

Again, this isn't an actual iPhone 8. Instead, the creators took CAD drawings of the iPhone 8 that are believed to have leaked from one of the Foxconn factories responsible for building the iPhone 8. Using those drawings, they machined parts out of glass and metal.

Here's a look at the parts that were used:

https://twitter.com/OnLeaks/status/880328185182904320

Why are we taking another look at this video? After three years with the same iPhone design, it was important that Apple wow us with its new iPhone 8. Based on everything we had heard, it seemed like that would be the case. Of course, now that we've seen what appears to be a spitting image of Apple's iPhone 8 in the flesh, we can safely say that this new flagship phone is going to be fantastic.

The glass and polished aluminum edges flow into each other, creating a continuous look that no other phone has achieved. This is further enhanced by the removal of the home button on the front. And of course, there's no space for a fingerprint scanner on the back, so it appears as though Apple has indeed managed to integrate its next-generation optical Touch ID sensor into the display itself.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 8 along with a new iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus in September. It's still unclear if the 8 will be released at the same time as its counterparts or if the 7s and 7s Plus will launch first, followed by the iPhone 8 a few weeks later.

After lynchings, India's Modi condemns violence in name of cow worship

Posted: 29 Jun 2017 02:54 AM PDT

After lynchings, India's Modi condemns violence in name of cow worshipBy Tommy Wilkes and Malini Menon NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday broke his silence over a wave of attacks on people accused of eating beef or slaughtering cows, saying that killing in the name of an animal sacred to majority Hindus was wrong. Modi was speaking a week after a 16-year old Muslim boy was stabbed to death on a train on suspicion of possessing beef, the latest of an estimated 28 people killed in cow-related violence since 2010. Most of the victims were killed after Modi and his Hindu nationalist party won elections three years ago.
