Samsung is copying Apple again. The Galaxy S21 series reportedly will not come with a wall charger or a pair of headphones when the new top-tier handset debuts in January.

This despite Samsung mocking Apple in October for leaving these accessories out of the iPhone 12 box.

The Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra scored approval today from Agência Nacional De Telecomunicações, according to Tecnoblog. ANATEL is the Brazilian agency that must sign off on phones, and it supposedly leaked some details about Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone.

That includes the fact that none of the S21 series models will come with a wall charger or a headset.

No Samsung charger: A bit of hypocrisy, hmm?

Apple made headlines this autumn when it stopped including a wall chargers and headphones with the iPhone 12, as well as every handset sold through the Apple Store.

Archrival Samsung quickly made fun of the decision. It posted a Tweet with a picture of a power adapter and the note “Included with your Galaxy.”

But it seems Samsung quickly came to regret its mockery, as the post has since been deleted. And now we apparently know why: because the Galaxy-maker is about to follow Apple’s lead.

Helping the environment

Lisa Jackson, Apple’s head of environmental initiatives, explained why her company stopping bundling wall chargers and headphones with every iPhone. “We are removing these items from the iPhone box, which reduces carbon emissions and avoids the mining and use of precious materials.” The change also makes the iPhone box smaller, reducing greenhouse gases needed to ship these products.

Samsung could well be imitating Apple’s move for the same reasons.

We get a lot of inquiries from people with iPhones displaying Error Code 14. If you are one of these people then you’re probably wanting to find a way of recovering the files and data from your phone, without performing a Factory Reset and wiping its contents.

iPhone Error 14 – How does this happen?
Before the fatal error 14 code is issued, the iPhone will notify you that it is getting very short on memory. The “Storage Almost Full” message that you see is really prompting you to free up some space on the iPhone by deleting some of the data on it. This could be Apps that are no longer used or maybe a few photos or videos: anything that frees up some space on the phone.

If you follow this instruction the “Storage Almost Full” message will disappear and you’ll be able to carry on as normal. The problems come when you don’t do anything about freeing up some space on the iPhone. That space, which was already critically small just gets even smaller until eventually, the phone will fall over as it’s run out of space to function.

Once this happens the iPhone will most probably enter a continuous boot loop. If you connect the iPhone to iTunes and try to restore the phone you’ll see the Error 14 code.

What can be done to recover the data from an iPhone with Error Code 14?
If you Google the error code you’ll see a lot of incorrect advice from Apple and others about changing the USB cable or updating software etc. We’ve never known this to be successful, but you can follow Apple’s advice and give that a go if you want. But in our experience, once the phone is displaying error 14 it’s not possible to recover the data from it. There is simply no space on the phone to allow it to function normally, and there is no workaround. The only choice you have is to factory reset the phone, which will lose the data on it. Hopefully, you’ll have enabled iCloud to store a backup of your data, but if you haven’t your data is lost.

And Finally…

You’ll come across web sites that say they are able to fix this problem, but you’ll find they all want money upfront. That’s the scam – they are just using your desperation to get money out of you. Don’t fall for it, they can’t help you.

Apple has struggled hard to make iOS 12 available to its older iPhones and iPads while the company abandoned a number of new features to make the system more stable and faster than before. According to rumors, several devices might not be able to download the company’s next operating system update.

The Tech Giant is currently in the process of developing the next major update. iOS 13 will be presented for the first time at the company’s annual developer conference, the WWDC 2019, which will take place this June. According to previous years tradition, it is expected to be released to all users in September, along with the launch of the new iPhones.

However, before we even get a look at the Apple’s next major iOS 13 and its innovations and features that it will bring, According to The verifier, it is rumored that the company will reportedly drop support for several iPhones including iPads.

Here is the list of iPhones and iPads which will allegedly no longer be updatable

iPhones                          iPads                        iPod

iPhone 6s                    iPad Mini 2              iPod touch 6th generation
iPhone 6s Plus            iPad Mini 3
iPhone 6 Plus              iPad mini 4
iPhone SE                    iPad Air
iPhone 5s                    iPad Air 2

Well, this is not a short list, but these models are unfortunately not going to get support for iOS 13. The company will also limit the new features, some of which will not work on devices like iPhone 7, 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Moreover, according to rumors, the iPhone X also will not enjoy some of the new features to make as many customers upgrade to their latest iPhone models.

Of course, the new iPhones that will be launched in September will receive exclusive features on iOS 13.1, will be released in a first development version in October.

If you’re using an old iPhone / iPad device and it’s in good shape, we’d suggest starting to save and even selling the older model that won’t get support iOS 13 updates, except for the security updates.

Gerard Williams III led the design of all Apple processors from the A7.

Apple’s senior director in platform architecture, Gerard Williams III, left the company last month after nine years, according to CNET. He might not be the most recognizable name from the tech giant, but he held a very important position for a company that’s making it a point to design more and more of its own components. Williams led the development of all Apple processors from the A7, which first appeared on the iPhone 5S, to the A12X that’s inside Cupertino’s latest iPad Pros.

As CNET noted, A7 was the first 64-bit processor for mobile devices. Its debut on the iPhone 5S forced Qualcomm to release a 64-bit mobile processor of its own — one that had big issues and wasn’t ready for primetime. In addition to leading the processor design process, William was also in charge of the layout on Apple’s systems-on-a-chip (SOCs) in recent years. In other words, he was the one who decided the placements of the SOCs’ components, such as the CPU, GPU and memory.

It’s unclear why Williams left Apple, and he’s also yet to update his LinkedIn page. He probably still had a hand in the development of the next few devices Apple will roll out, though, maybe even the first Macs powered by in-house processors — that is, if reports that Cupertino is dropping Intel for its own laptop chips are true, of course.

Apple is reportedly contemplating switching from the Lightning port to USB-C, for its latest line of iPhones.

They will be bringing out updated versions of their XS, XS Max and XR this year which could have the different ports, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The Lightning port has been used on Apple’s flagship smartphones since 2012. Transitioning over would mean iPhones would be compatible with hundreds of Android phones. It’s not clear whether Apple will actually make the crossover, but bringing Apple devices over to USB-C would be an incredibly popular move for both Apple and Android users. The testing shows that the brand is seriously considering making the leap.

They’re also testing a three rear camera setup, similar to the adopted design of LG and Huawei’s 2018 flagships. Apple’s XS and XS Max phones only come with a two camera setup that includes a portrait lens. Adding a third camera would help to take ultra-wide-angle shots; capturing a larger field of view and enabling a wider range of zoom.

It was also revealed in Mark Gurman’s report that Apple is working on a 3-D camera to be released in 2020. Over the years Apple has continuously pushed augmented reality through its facial-recognition software and ARKit. The new camera would allow for more accurate depth perception and placement of virtual objects.

While it doesn’t sound like we will be seeing any major changes to the iPhone design this year, it will be interesting to compare the iPhone camera setups over the next couple of years.

In the meantime, switching to USB-C would make the differences between Apple and Android slimmer than ever before. Could the iPhone become the next flagship Android?
