BIG leak ahead of WWDC 2023! This is what the Apple mixed reality headset could look like - HT Tech

In just 5 more days, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 will go live. And this year's event is special. Not only will we get to see what iOS 17 could bring to iPhones, but we might also see a new product line being launched by Apple. Yes, we are talking about the Apple mixed reality headset which is also called the Apple AR/VR headset and the Apple Reality Pro. The new Apple product will be instrumental in creating the augmented reality and virtual reality ecosystem for the company, as per reports. And right before the event, we have a new leak that tells us about the display specifications of the headset. Let us take a look.

The leak comes from display analyst and tipster Ross Young who reveals the specifications for the two displays that have been rumored to be placed inside the headset. According to his tweet, the headsets can feature micro OLED screen technology. The two displays will be 1.41-inch diagonally with 4000 ppi (pixels per inch) and more than 5000 nits of peak brightness, as per his claims.

It should be noted that if true, these display specifications will be more than we have seen in any VR headsets in the market. For instance, the PSVR2 has 2000 ppi whereas Meta Quest Pro offers 1800x1920 ppi.

What else we know about Apple mixed reality headset

Various sources have claimed that the first-of-its-kind headset can be priced $3000. This is a much higher price than the PSV 2 which starts at $550 and Meta Quest Pro which starts at $999.

If it seems a bit too expensive for your casual gaming sessions over the weekend, then don't be alarmed. This headset is not targeted towards gamers. According to reports, the device is being targeted at developers who will use it to build apps and tools in AR and VR to create Apple's new ecosystem. And to justify the price, it has been rumored that Apple can add a wide range of high-end AR/VR features.

Do note that these are all based on leaks and rumors and no official sources have confirmed the information shared. So, do take it with a pinch of salt and wait till the WWDC 2023 to know what these headsets will be like.

Canalys: Four iPhones top flagship sales charts in Q1 2023, S23 Ultra most popular Android - GSMArena.com news - GSMArena.com

Canalys's latest report Apple's iPhone lineup topped the premium segment during Q1 2023. According to their estimates, the iPhone 14 Pro Max was the best-selling flagship, followed by the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14, and iPhone 13.

31% of all shipments between January and March 2023 were of premium devices that are over $500 MSRP, the highest in the last five years. This particular segment increased 4.7% YoY far outperforming the overall smartphone market, which declined 13.3% on a yearly basis.

The data revealed that the best-selling Android flagship for Q1 was the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Top 15 is primarily occupied by Samsung and Apple devices, which is understandable given the far wider availability of their premium devices.

For example, Google is selling the Pixel 7 series in 17 countries; Oppo is keeping the Find N2 to China, while Honor is still trying to catch up and was late to the party with an April launch of the Magic5 Pro.

Canalys analyst Nicole Peng said earlier this week it will take some time for vendors to get back on track and record a healthy increase in shipments. The forecast for 2023 is a demand to remain slow, but hopes are 2024 will see a return to growth.

DogeRAT Malware Impersonates BFSI, Entertainment, E-commerce Apps - Infosecurity Magazine

Editorial image credit: 22 TREE HOUSE / Shutterstock.com

A sophisticated malware campaign called DogeRAT has been observed impersonating Android banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), e-commerce and entertainment apps.

Discovered by security researchers at CloudSEK, the malicious campaign relies on open source Android malware to compromise the security of victims’ devices and obtain sensitive information, including contacts, messages and banking details. 

Upon installation, the malware requires various permissions, including access to call logs and audio recordings and to read SMS messages, media and photos.

It then uses these to manipulate the device and carry out malicious activities, like sending spam messages, making unauthorized payments, altering files and taking pictures through the camera without the user’s knowledge. 

“This campaign is a stark reminder of the financial motivation driving scammers to continually evolve their tactics,” explained CloudSEK threat intelligence researcher Anshuman Das.

“They are not just limited to creating phishing websites, but also distributing modified RATs or repurposing malicious apps to execute scam campaigns that are low-cost and easy to set up, yet yield high returns.”

DogeRAT is advertised by its creator through Telegram Channels, which offer a premium version of the malware costing roughly $30 and featuring additional capabilities like taking screenshots, stealing images, acting as a keylogger and more.

The malware’s developer has also created a GitHub repository to host it, which showcases a video tutorial and a comprehensive list of features and capabilities.

DogeRAT operates using Java-based server-side code written in NodeJs, enabling communication between the malware and the Telegram Bot.

It then uses a web view to show the URL of the targeted entity, making it seem more legitimate.

To safeguard against this risk, experts suggest practicing careful clicking habits when it comes to links and attachments, regularly updating software, utilizing a security solution, being mindful of common scam indicators and educating oneself about malware.

The CloudSek advisory comes days after ESET security researchers shed light on a separate trojanized Android app with thousands of installs.

At WWDC, Apple likely to launch trade-in scheme for new Mac models - Hindustan Times

ByHT News Desk, New Delhi

May 29, 2023 06:03 PM IST

The scheme is likely to be announced on June 5 which, incidentally, is also the opening-day of the 2023 edition of the tech giant's annual WWDC event.

On June 5, Apple is planning to introduce a trade-in scheme for a range of new Mac models. Interestingly, this is also the first day of the 2023 edition of Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC); the trade-in scheme, therefore, is an indication that the tech giant will launch new Macs at the 5-day event.

Every year, Apple introduces a variety of hardware and software innovations at WWDC.(REUTERS)

That the Cupertino-based company is planning to begin such a programme for new Macs, is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is its Chief Correspondent on Apple.

According to Gurman, Apple, under the scheme, will accept trade-ins for Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro. For instance, the owner of an M2 MacBook Air will be able to trade-in the former and, in turn, obtain credit towards the long-rumoured MacBook Air (15 inch).

Which new Mac models will be launched during WWDC 2023?

In an article, Gurman noted that the company has several new models in the work, besides the 15-inch MacBook Air. These are 13-inch MacBook Air (updated), entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro, a refreshed 24-inch iMac, the first Mac Pro with in-house chips, and updated high-end MacBook Pro models.

Apple trade-in programme

Under this, one can exchange an existing Apple device (Mac, iPad, iPhone, tablet, and laptop) and earn credit towards a correspnding new device. More details are available here.

iPhone 15 impact: Apple to discontinue iPhone 12? Check list NOW - HT Tech

The iPhone 14 might be the latest Apple smartphone in the market, but the iPhone 15 is definitely the talk of the town. There have been plenty of leaks and rumors about the upcoming lineup and they have painted a stunning picture of what the phone can potentially be. But while there is excitement on one hand, there is also a little disappointment because this would also be the time when Apple would inevitably discontinue some of its older smartphones and they will not be available for purchase. iPhone 12 could be one of them. But which other smartphones are likely to disappear in the Fall of 2023? Let us take a look.

The current Apple lineup

These are smartphones that can be directly bought from either the online Apple website or Apple stores across the globe. And every year, Apple removes some smartphone models as it introduces new ones. You can still find older iPhones such as iPhone 11 on Amazon and some other retailers but either these are refurbished or pre-owned smartphones or the stock that reached a dealer but did not sell out yet. With that being said, let us take a look at the smartphones you can currently buy from Apple.

The list includes iPhone SE 2022, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Not sure which
mobile to buy?

Which iPhones can be discontinued after iPhone 15 is launched?

The most obvious one is the iPhone 12. Apple never keeps iPhones in its stores that are older than three years, and so once iPhone 15 comes to the shelves, iPhone 12 will be the first to be discontinued.

The other two likely to be discontinued models would be iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple has been discontinuing previous year's Pro models as soon as new flagship smartphones are launched for a number of years and we do not think that would change this year.

Now, coming to the trickier part, iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 14 Plus may also be discontinued. It is known that the mini models never sold much and that's why Apple decided to not include it in the iPhone 14 lineup. However, a case could be made for it that Apple may just take $100 off its price and make it available for $499, which would become a unique price point.

iPhone 14 Plus was launched for the first time last year so no one is really sure what Apple may do with it. But there are two reasons why it might be discontinued. First is its display size. Apple may feel having iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max as three 6.7-inch displays might be a bit too much. Also, if Apple knocks its price by $100, it would cost as much as the new iPhone 15 (provided there are no price hikes), which might be counterproductive for Apple.

However, we will still have to wait till the launch of the iPhone 15 series to really know which smartphones will be discontinued.

5 things about AI you may have missed today: Opera browser gets Chatbot, India's supercomputer and more - HT Tech

As the European Union is nearing the completion of its artificial intelligence act, regulators and business leaders across the globe are waiting to understand how the dynamic shifts after the first AI regulation comes into effect. But we will have to wait longer to see it happen. On the other hand, today was another interesting day in the AI world as the Opera browser joined Microsoft Edge after introducing a ChatGPT-powered chatbot side panel. This and more in our daily AI roundup. Let us take a look.

Opera browser gets AI chatbot

Opera browser has joined the ranks of Microsoft Edge browser after it unveiled its new AI side panel called Aria. It is powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 language model, and it can answer questions, translate languages, and generate text, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc.

Aria can be accessed by clicking on the chat icon in the Opera toolbar. Once you have opened the chat, you can type in your question or request. Aria will then respond to your query. Users can access it for free.

India's AI supercomputer Airawat ranks 75 globally

In the latest ranking of global supercomputers by Top 500, a non-profit organization, India's AI supercomputer Airawat bagged the 75th rank globally. Airavat was developed by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) and the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM). It was inaugurated on 10 December 2022. Airavat is the first supercomputer in India to be based on the ARM architecture.

It has a peak performance of 1.3 petaflops and a sustained performance of 0.7 petaflops. Airavat is used for a variety of scientific and engineering applications, including climate modeling, drug discovery, and materials science.

Union Minister says India has its own AI plans, responding to Sam Altman's United Nations of AI

Responding to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's statement on the need to develop a United Nations-like body for AI to regulate the space, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, “Sam Altman is obviously a smart man. He has his own ideas about how AI should be regulated. We certainly think we have some smart brains in India as well and we have our own views on how AI should have guardrails”.

He added, “If there is eventually a United Nations of AI – as Sam Altman wants – more power to it. But that does not stop us from doing what is right for our digital nagriks (citizens) and keeping the internet safe and trusted”.

AI images of Bollywood actors turned into women go viral

Digital artist and AI enthusiast Sahid has again taken the internet by storm as he shared images of Bollywood actors reimagined as women. He posted pictures of stars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Varun Dhawan, Rajpal Yadav, Aamir Khan, Tiger Shroff, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar Pankaj Tripathi, and Shahid Kapoor on his Instagram account.

AI discovers superbug-killing antibiotic

A group of researchers have used artificial intelligence to discover a superbug-killing antibiotic. Superbugs are those bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and thus are very hard to kill. As a result, many people die as medicine does not work properly on these pathogens. 

Now, a study published in Nature Journal has revealed that an AI model, that was trained on thousands of drugs, came up with a chemical structure that can kill a nefarious superbug called Acinetobacter baumannii. It took the AI 90 minutes to accomplish the task.

Realme ropes in Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as its brand ambassador for smartphones - GSMArena.com news - GSMArena.com

Realme's Indian branch today announced it has roped in Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) as its brand ambassador for the smartphone category. The company said it signed SRK - also referred to as "King Khan" - because he "truly embodies the spirit of Realme with his remarkable journey and charismatic persona" and "represents Realme's commitment to providing users with a leap-forward experience."

The five-year-old brand also said that by joining forces with SRK, it is "showcasing its focus on delivering powerful, stylish, and youth-oriented smartphones that resonate with the aspirations and ambitions of today's youth."

The first Realme products SRK will endorse are the Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+, introduced in China about a couple of weeks ago and set to debut in international markets - including India - in June. You can check the Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+'s detailed specs comparison here to know more about them.

Realme 11 Pro • Realme 11 Pro+

It's not the first time Realme has partnered with a Bollywood actor for its Number series smartphones. In 2020, Realme collaborated with Salman Khan for the Realme 6 lineup. It had also roped in Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor for some of its AIoT products. However, we are hopeful Realme won't sell the Realme 11 Pro series in India with pictures of SRK on its boxes like Salman Khan's pictures. Not everyone likes that after all.

DragGAN AI-powered Photoshop: Know how to edit images with simple drag controls - OTV News

Recommended Stories

Introducing DragGAN: the user-friendly tool that simplifies learning Photoshop by leveraging generative AI.

According to the report, making significant image alterations with DragGAN becomes effortless.

Discover its remarkable features and what sets it apart from other editing tools.

DragGAN

In a research paper co-authored by Google, the Max Planck Institute of Informatics, and MIT CSAIL, DragGAN presents a distinctive method for image manipulation

By simply placing a single point on an image, users can effortlessly modify its structure and pixels as a whole.

Unlike other popular generative AI tools like Dall-E and Midjourney, DragGAN excels at generating precise poses and layouts without the need for highly specific prompts.

Realistic Transformations

The research paper highlights impressive examples that demonstrate DragGAN's capabilities.

For instance, it seamlessly transforms an image of a lion with a closed mouth into one with an open mouth. 

Similarly, it effortlessly alters the perspective of a car, giving the impression of a different angle.

Furthermore, DragGAN extends the height of a mountain effortlessly.

Despite these substantial edits, the resulting images maintain their authenticity, thanks to the remarkable power of generative AI.

Advanced Features

According to the report, DragGAN is praised for its simplicity and intuitiveness.

Its user-friendly interface allows users to quickly understand its functionality without needing to delve into the complexities of the underlying technology.

With DragGAN, desired image alterations can be achieved by adding a starting and ending point.

For example, to create a smile, placing points at the corners of the mouth and slightly further away will initiate the transformation.

DragGAN seamlessly extends the mouth between the points, ensuring realism through generative AI, which handles any gaps in the process.
DragGAN offers a masking feature, allowing selective highlighting of specific image parts for alteration while leaving the rest untouched. 

Photo Editing

DragGAN stands out from existing photo editing tools that manipulate facial expressions and features.

While other tools may provide options for perspective correction, DragGAN goes beyond by allowing users to change the photo's angle of capture.

This unique feature sets DragGAN apart, enabling users to achieve their desired results with enhanced accuracy.

Alert! Fake ChatGPT Apps Are The New Money Minting Machines For Developers; Check App List - Jagran English

CHATGPT AI model is now everywhere on the internet and so are its counterfeit replicas on Apple App Store and Google Play Store. These apps are categorised as 'fleeceware' that aims to push the user to buy a paid subscription, as the free version is stuffed with ads to the brim, as per Sophos News. Further, these apps intend to make a paid replica of a free service.

Poor replica of ChatGPT

One of the apps discovered by the cybersecurity company on Google Play Store was - Chat GBT. It uses an alphabet alteration in the name to lure users to download the app.

As per the report, the free version has rich advertisements that hamper the user experience. This forces the user to opt for a subscription plan. The default pick is a three-day trial followed by a $10 fee for a month. Further, the annual rate is $30.

On iPhone, an app named -GAI Assistant works similarly to its Android counterpart. The plan for the service starts from $6 per week. Going by estimates of Sensor Tower, the Android version minted $5,000 in March and iOS variant generated $10,000 in the same month in revenue.

Another app, 'AI Chat GBT' prompts a user to perform similar functions as the above-stated apps. On iOS, AI Chat - Chatbot AI Assistant, Genie AI Chatbot and AI Chatbot - Open Chat Writer.

How To Cancel Subscription?

If you have downloaded one of these apps and purchased a subscription, uninstalling these apps won't solve the problem. Here's how you can abort your bank deductions.

On iPhone

Head to settings, then tap on your name. Tap on Subscriptions, select the app subscription you wish to cancel and hit 'Cancel Subscription.'

On Android

Head to the subscriptions section in Google Play and select the desired subscription you wish to cancel. Hit - Cancel Subscription.

Ahead of iOS 17 launch, iOS 16.6 to unveil CRUCIAL update for iPhone - HT Tech

iOS 17 launch is just a couple of weeks away! It is expected to be announced during the Apple WWDC 2023 event starting on June 5. It will bring many exciting features, but ahead of that, Apple is planning to roll out a crucial iMessage update with the iOS 16.6 update. Apple released the iOS 16.6 beta yesterday which includes iMessage Contact Key Verification, a MacRumors report suggested. Although it remains uncertain whether the feature is fully operational in the initial beta release or not.

As per the report, the beta version has an iMessage Contact Key Verification option available in the Settings app of the iPhones. However, it is not showing any function while tapping on it so far. The report says that it may need additional settings to be activated or there are chances that the feature has not been fully implemented.

What is iMessage Contact Key Verification?

iMessage Contact Key Verification was introduced last year to cater to Apple users who are prone to face "extraordinary digital threats." Its purpose is to provide an additional layer of security for users such as journalists, human rights activists, and government officials who face the risk of targeted digital attacks by state-sponsored actors or other malicious entities. Apple says that "The vast majority of users will never be targeted by highly sophisticated cyberattacks, but the feature provides an important additional layer of security for those who might be."

How does it work? iMessage Contact Key Verification allows Apple users to verify that their messages are being exchanged with required recipients instead of malicious entities. Not just that, in case two or more individuals who have enabled this feature will be having a conversation, Apple will issue an alert if there is ever a breach in the cloud servers. This will help in indicating if the conversation is susceptible to unauthorized access.

Apart from these, iMessage Contact Key Verification enabled iPhone users can compare a Contact Verification Code in person, during FaceTime, or via any other app to verify the identity of the receiver.

iMessage Contact Key Verification rollout

Apple had earlier said that iMessage Contact Key Verification will be available globally in 2023, hence it is expected to be rolled out with the iOS 16.6 final update for all iPhone users.

Google Pixel 8 Pro Could Come With Temperature Sensing Tech; Check First Look Here - Jagran English

GOOGLE will likely unveil the highly-anticipated Pixel 8 series in 2023. Like previous years, the company could announce two phones - Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. While the smartphones have not been subject to intense grilling by the rumour mill, an alleged video of the Pixel 8 Pro shared by tipster Kuba Wojciechowski with 91Mobiles garnered media attention recently.

The platform claims the phone will double up as a thermometer. Pixel 8 Pro is visible with a triple camera setup packed in a single module, unlike the Pixel 7 Pro, which has a third sensor next to the dual camera setup. A centre-punch hole display is visibly similar to its predecessor.

Pixel 8 Pro temperature monitoring sensor

The sensor is placed next to the camera and below the flash. It is a dedicated IR thermometer sensor to measure temperatures in a contactless fashion. Other than body temperature, it can also assess the temperature of objects. As per the report, the data will be managed locally via Android Private Computer Core which is in the testing phase by Google workers.

To use the sensor, a user will ensure the skin is not covered with any accessory. Once the phone obtains the temperature, it will vibrate. And a user will be presented with the readings on the screen.

According to the platform, the leaked video of the Pixel 8 Pro was removed by YouTube due to "copyright" issues. But you can have a look at the feature in action on Twitter. Here's the video:

First leaked video of the Pixel 8 Pro showing off the phone and it’s new thermometer feature.

Leaks are from 91 mobiles pic.twitter.com/mg3I2BRO3u

— Neil Sargeant (@Neil_Sarg) May 18, 2023

As for other leaks, the Pixel 8 series could debut in India in October. A 6.52-inch display will likely be present on the front. It might have a Tensor G3 chip under the hood. As for optics, a 50MP sensor is rumoured by reports. However, do note these details are not from official circles of the company and are subject to change before launch.

Meanwhile, the tech giant recently announced the launch of the Google Pixel Fold. The smartphone marks the official entry of the search leader in the foldable market. Alongside the foldable, the company also announced the Pixel 7a as a successor to the Pixel 6a.

Samsung Galaxy F54's price in India leaks and it's higher than you might expect - GSMArena.com news - GSMArena.com

Samsung's Galaxy F54 was initially rumored to become official in India in April, but after that didn't happen we heard it would be launched by the end of this month. As that's getting closer and closer, more and more details about the handset are starting to leak.

Today a central piece of the puzzle has been outed by a usually reliable source. We're talking about price, which will allegedly be INR 35,999 for the version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This is not the base - aka cheapest - model, mind you. That one will have 128GB of storage, and it's unclear how much it will go for.

The leaked price has, however, irked a lot of people over on Twitter, who are saying the specs aren't worth it. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. And speaking of specs, here's the list that's been leaked so far.

The Galaxy F54 is said to come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh rate, the Exynos 1380 SoC at the helm, 8GB of RAM in either storage version, a triple rear camera system (108 MP main with OIS, 8 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP decorative sensor of some sort - probably macro), a 32 MP selfie snapper, and a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. It will run Android 13 of course, with One UI 5.1 on top.

We’re rolling out web browsing and Plugins to all ChatGPT Plus users over the next week! Moving from alpha to beta, they allow ChatGPT to access the internet and to use 70+ third-party plugins. https://t.co/t4syFUj0fL pic.twitter.com/Mw9FMpKq91

iPhone 15 Pro price hike likely! Phone to cost over $1000 - HT Tech

Battery drain issue on Pixel 7 Pro and other Google smartphones? There is a fix; Check NOW - HT Tech

Google recently launched its latest affordable phone, the Pixel 7a at the Google I/O 2023 and it has left us impressed with the features it offers at its price point. At $100 less than the Pixel 7, the Pixel 7a gets the same processor and RAM and Pixel-specific features. What's shocking is that the Pixel 7a offers even better cameras than the more expensive Pixel 7. So, if you've been searching for a pure Android experience, we would recommend you get the Pixel 7a. But even Google's own smartphones have their own fair share of problems.

Battery drain issues

Recently, we have noticed that Pixel owners are suffering from severe battery drain issues on their smartphones. Moreover, it is also causing the phones to overheat, harming the battery life and health of the device even further. We have been using the Pixel 7a for a couple of weeks but haven't run into any battery or overheating issues so far but we'll keep an eye on it. However, Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro users have reported suffering from these issues on platforms such as Reddit.

Users on Reddit have reported as much as a 32% battery drain by just the background processes run by the Google app Android Systems Intelligence alone. Pixel owners believe a May 12 update could have triggered the battery drain problem and the culprit behind this issue is the Google app. And to confirm their suspicions, Google has recently released a statement acknowledging the issue.

Not sure which
mobile to buy?

Google, in a statement to 9to5Google, has acknowledged that the battery and overheating issues are occurring due to a “backend change” within the Google app. This has been causing battery drain on a“subset of Android devices”.

Google releases a fix

Fortunately, Google has taken note of the issue and has already started rolling out a fix. This fix shouldn't require a system or app update but it will just be a server-side fix that will fix the issue immediately. “We rolled out a fix shortly after becoming aware of the issue and impacted users should see their devices return to normal behavior immediately, “ Google said in its statement.

So, if you've been suffering from battery drain and overheating issues on your Google Pixel phones, then we suggest you wait for this fix to arrive and it could solve the underlying issue.

These top 5 tips will turn you into an iPhone typing wizard; it's easy, just do it this way - HT Tech

When it comes to typing really fast on any phone, we are usually laggards. So, after a really torrid session of typing and sending a number of urgent messages on an iPhone to the boss recently (suffice it to say that he was not impressed), we thought that there has to be a better way of doing this. And, not much to our surprise, there is!

Apple iPhones have several tricks and tips to make your work easier. However, not everyone knows about them. From opening the camera to even typing, there are tricks for almost every task you can do on an iPhone. So, if you are someone who is suffering from slow typing speed (like us) and want to improve it (just like us), here are 5 best typing tricks you can try on your Apple iPhone. From one handed keyboard to text replacements- you can increase your texting speed now. Just check the step by step guide below.

1. Text replacements

You can set up text replacement with the help of which you will be able to enter a word or phrase by typing just a few characters. For example, type “omw” to enter “On my way!” That one's already set up for you, but you can also add your own. Isn't it helpful? It will surely help you increase your typing speed. Here is how you can create a text replacement.

While typing in a text field, touch and hold the Next Keyboard, Emoji key or the Switch Keyboard key. Tap Keyboard Settings, then tap Text Replacement. Click on the Add button at the top right and then type a phrase in the Phrase field and the text shortcut you want to use for it in the Shortcut field. You can also go to Settings, look for General option and click on Keyboard. Then tap Text Replacement. Tap the Add button at the top right, then enter your word or phrase in the Phrase field and the word you want it to replace with in the Shortcut field.

2. Double-tap the dot (.)

Go to Settings, look for the General option, click on Keyboard and ensure that the dot (.) is turned on. By switching the dot on, whenever you will be typing simply double-tap the spacebar and it will insert a period followed by a space.

3. Dictate text on iPhone

This one really has won our heart! With Dictation on iPhone, you can dictate text anywhere you can type. You can also use typing and Dictation together—the keyboard stays open during Dictation so you can easily switch between voice and touch to enter text. For example, you can select text with touch and replace it with your voice. It can be noted that Dictation may not be available in all languages or in all countries or regions, and features may vary.

In order to turn on Dictation go to Settings, tap on General and then click on Keyboard. Now all you need to do is Turn on Enable Dictation. Now in order to dictate text Dictate text tap to place the insertion point where you want to insert text. Tap the Dictate key on the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears (as in Messages, for example). Then speak. As you speak to insert text, iPhone automatically inserts punctuation for you. You can also insert emoji by saying their names (for example, “mind blown emoji” or “happy emoji”). When you finish, tap the Stop Dictation button.

4. One-handed keyboard

If you want to use your iPhone using one hand, open a chat, hold down the keyboard's globe emoji, then tap the left or right icons at the bottom. Doing so will shrink the keyboard, making it easy to type with one hand.

5. Auto correction

This one we all know about. We also know that it can go horribly wrong sometimes and an eagle eye must be kept on it all the time. Auto-Correction uses your keyboard dictionary to spellcheck words as you type, automatically correcting misspelled words for you. To use it, just type in a text field. To make sure that Auto-Correction is turned on:

Open the Settings app, tap General and click on Keyboard. Now Turn on Auto-Correction. Notably, Auto-Correction is on by default.

Google Just Announced “Help Me Write” Feature in Gmail: AI Creates An Email With Just One Line Prompt - MarkTechPost

During Google I/O 2023, Google unveiled a new Gmail feature named Help Me Write, which generates emails on behalf of users. With just a one-line prompt from the user, the tool creates emails in a matter of seconds with the option of even choosing different writing styles, including professional, catchy, and funky.

While announcing the feature, Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google) used the example of asking an airline for a refund for a flight. Using past exchanges with the airline, the AI tool creates an entire email asking for a refund. Not only this, there is an additional feature of refining the email by formalizing it, shortening, or elaborating the same.

For those who have faced difficulties in writing impactful emails, Help Me Write is truly a godsend. This incredible tool assists users in efficiently creating thank-you notes, follow-up emails, and cover letters for job applications. Acting as an extension to Gmail’s Smart Reply and Smart Compose features, it enables users to generate these types of emails swiftly and effectively.

🚀 JOIN the fastest ML Subreddit Community

Benefits of Help Me Write

Help Me Write is a valuable tool that can save users time by generating email drafts. The tool keeps track of email templates, which allows users to stay organized. It also helps users improve their writing skills by offering suggestions and feedback, resulting in more polished and professional emails. 

For those who use Gmail and want to enhance their email writing skills while saving time, Help Me Write is a feature worth trying.

Simply start writing an email and click on the ‘Help Me Write’ button. The tool will generate an email draft that can then be personalized as needed. Users have the option of changing the mood and tone of the email as well as making it more formal, shorter, or longer.

The tool is still in its early stages of development and, once made available for everyone, would be greatly helpful for millions.

The feature has the potential to save time and increase the productivity of users when it comes to sending emails. However, a few things should be kept in mind to extract the most of this feature.

• Be specific and add details: To improve the quality of the text, it’s important to provide specific details. For example, when writing a job application email, keywords such as the user’s name, the job title, and the company name should be written. This will enable the AI to generate a well-written email that includes all the necessary information.

• Put some effort into editing the draft: Although the tool can generate the template, users must put in the work and exercise their writing skills to make the email more customized and pleasant to read.

• Give feedback: The more feedback a user provides, the better the tool will become at generating email drafts.

Help Me Write has the capability to significantly reduce the time and effort required for composing emails. The idea behind the feature is to save time on relatively mindless emails. AI is constantly learning and improving, so the tool will likely become even more helpful in the future.
