Samsung issues patch for Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor problem
Nope - saw a video that showed exactly that in detail. Enrolled a new set of fingers, saw them work, saw wrong fingers not work, put piece of film over reader/screen, wrong finger works.

iPhone 11 Pro may have extra 2GB of RAM devoted to the camera
This could be an interesting way to avoid the battery life penalty imposed by system RAM while still having additional RAM for intensive tasks. The RAM could just be turned off when the camera is not in use.

Apple's iOS Contacts app claimed to be vulnerable to SQLite hack
The replaced a component of the Contacts app... assuming that language is precise, an unlocked phone isn't sufficient. While some parts of the file system are accessible via USB, they are restricted to the data partition and there is no way to tamper with an App without jailbreak and afc2 or something comparable.

Alleged 3D renders of Apple's 2019 iPhone hit the internet
The reason has to do with perspective- a triangular arrangement provides the iPhone with 2D perspective capabilities versus the 1D provided by a horizontal or vertical arrangement. This should provide a better DOF estimation and more successful computational photography dependent on it, such as portrait mode.

US Supreme Court greenlights lawsuit over App Store monopoly
SCOTUS is hardly the wisest court in the land, simply the highest and a 5-4 indicates this wasn't clear cut in either direction. Also, the ruling is clear that they are saying nothing about the actual merits of the case, just that the dismissal wasn't upheld.sdw2001 said:n2itivguy said:Clear waste of taxpayer dollars letting this proceed. There are alternatives to iPhones and the App Store. Ridiculous.
It's not ridiculous at all, or SCOTUS wouldn't have allowed it. It means there is at least some substantial chance the plaintiffs will prevail.
