The next-generation iPhones are months away, but we’re already hearing a lot of chatter. Thanks to reliable leakster Jon Prosser, we now know the specifications of all the iPhones you can expect this year. The recently announced iPhone SE 2020 has yet to hit a few other markets, but the iPhone 12 seems just around the corner.

We knew the basic details about the iPhone 12, including the triple-camera setup, screen sizes, as well as the nomenclature. Now, we’re getting a deeper dive not just with specifications, but also the pricing.

Keep in mind, there could be four iPhones this year. All of them shall be powered by Apple’s A14 processor and will support 5G.

Starting with the iPhone 12, it’ll have a 5.4-inch OLED display, dual rear cameras, 4GB RAM, and an aluminum build. The 128GB option could cost US$ 649 while the 265GB one would be US$ 749. The iPhone 12 Max on the other hand would sport a bigger 6.1-inch OLED display while all other details shall remain the same as the iPhone 12. Its 128GB could be priced at US$ 749 with the 256GB one at US$ 849.

The iPhone 12 Pro would have a 6.1-inch OLED display and according to EverythingApplePro, the screen will have a 120Hz refresh rate. Apple will call it MotionPro officially. The phone will consist of a steel body and get 6GB RAM. On the rear would be a triple-camera setup along with LiDAR. We’ve seen the same technology on the iPad Pro recently.

It’ll have three configurations: 128GB for US$ 999, 256GB for US$ 1,099, and 512GB for 1,299.

Lastly, the iPhone 12 Pro Max would have a bigger 6.7-inch display while all other internals shall remain the same. The pricing would be US$ 1,099 for 128GB, US$ 1,199 for 256GB, and US$ 1,399 for 512GB.

Please note that these are exceedingly early leaks and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

X’s AI accused Klay Thompson of vandalizing houses with bricks

AI thought joke posts were real

Despite the ease that the technology promises, artificial intelligence still isn’t the most reliable thing you can depend on. Today’s models can still flub answers. Now, the pitfalls of AI are abundantly clear with a few mishaps on X. Golden State Warrior Klay Thompson was just “accused” of a vandalism spree involving bricks.

Late Tuesday night, X presented an AI-generated news snippet. The article, posted soon after the Warriors’ play-in loss to the Sacramento Kings, reads: “Klay Thompson Accused in Bizarre Brick-Vandalism Spree.”

The snippet hilariously described an incident where Thompson supposedly vandalized houses in Sacramento with bricks. Thankfully, according to the snippet, no one was hurt. It even had a few sources for its claims below the news summary.

The sources, however, are just joke posts stemming from the recently concluded game. In that do-or-die game, Thompson put up a staggering 0 points on ten shot attempts, the most misses without a make by a Warrior since the ’68 season. Naturally, everyone joked that the Warriors guard just threw bricks all over Sacramento.

Now, X is currently experimenting with a new AI feature called Grok. The model collates trending topics and creates snippets of what’s happening for X users. However, it’s not exactly the smartest in determining real news from satiric ones. The feature notes as much, carrying a fine-print caveat warning users to “verify its outputs” because it’s an early feature and can make mistakes.

New X users must pay a dollar per year to post and reply

Rolling out globally now

Published

New users on X might soon face a tough time on the platform. The social media website will likely start charging new accounts a small fee for the right to post on the platform.

Now, the fee isn’t a new one. Almost six months ago, the company tested the paid system in New Zealand and the Philippines. New users in those countries had to pay a dollar per year for the ability to post and reply to content.

As spotted by X Daily News on the same platform, the company might be ready to take the experiment to a larger market. New text strings have shown that the policy is rolling out worldwide.

The policy is designed to combat a wave of bots appearing on the platform. By preventing new accounts from creating posts, X hopes to stave off the standard behavior of bots these days. You might have noticed them as OnlyFans creators in unrelated posts, peddling NSFW content on their bio.

Though the global rollout was only just spotted, owner Elon Musk has seemingly confirmed the change. Replying to X Daily News, Musk says that it is “the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.” He says that the current breed of bots can easily bypass simple checks these days.
