iPhone 11 is a few months older than the iPhone SE that launched recently in the last week of April 2020. Both the phones offer more or less similar features but are different in their sizes and other few features. iPhone SE is more compact than the iPhone 11. Both of them support iOS 13, work on the Apple A13 Bionic processor, and come in the storage variant of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB. Their pixel density is also similar, i.e., 326ppi and they don’t have a headphone jack. Both iPhone SE and 11 are capable of capturing 4K videos. They are also powered with light and proximity sensors. Some other common sensors indulged in it are gyroscope, accelerometer and compass.

If you are someone looking for the best iPhone to invest in, you should consider these two options before you make your payment in any other module.

Here is the list of differences to look upon:

• As mentioned earlier, iPhone SE is compact so it has a 4.7-inch retina display with 1334 x 750 pixels while the iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch LCD liquid retina display with 1792 x 828 pixels.
• iPhone 11 has a better camera than SE. iPhone 11 has two 12 megapixel rear cameras with the power of capturing wide and ultra-wide pictures. iPhone SE cannot click ultra-wide pictures because it has one 12 megapixel rear camera.
• iPhone 11 also tops the competition in a better front-facing camera with 12 megapixels and the iPhone SE has a 7-megapixel front-facing camera.
• Their weight also varies. The iPhone 11 is 46gms heavier than the iPhone SE.
• Their price also varies as iPhone SE is cheaper in all variants than the iPhone 11. iPhone SE costs $400 for 64GB, $500 for 128GB and $550 for 256GB. While the iPhone 11 costs $700 for 64GB, $750 for 128GB, and $850 for 256GB.

• iPhone 11 supports two sims where sim 1 slot supports nano sim and the other slot supports eSIM. But iPhone SE has only one sim slot that supports nano sim.
•  iPhone 11 is more durable and water-resistant than the iPhone SE because it has IP68 while iPhone SE IP67.

First covered by Macrumors, Apple users are reporting serious problems with their iPhone displays saying that a weird green tint colors the whole display with a swampy hue. While some face this issue only in low light, for others, it stays shortly when the iPhone is unlocked. Many other users have also said that the unusual green color is permanent. It is claimed that the issue may have arisen due to a recent iOS update, while Apple has accepted that this might be a hardware fault. People are taking platforms like Reddit, tech forums and other social media to showcase their display problem in the iPhones and iPads.

iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are severely affected and even going back to iPhone X won’t solve the problem as the issue may be due to bad OLED displays which are common in these iPhones. The problem started with iOS 13.4 and then became worse for iOS 13.5 and 13.5.1. Some reports also say that for many new buyers, the problem was the same since the day they unboxed their iPhone. People are also able to get rid of the tint by restarting or rebooting their iPhones but it worked only for few.

While it’s skeptical about how this problem would be solved but it appears that Apple can fix it. As brought into light by Apple, taking a screenshot and viewing it on a different display does not change the greenish tint. Hence, it’s indicated that it is not a problem at the software level and that it might be a combination of both hardware and software issues. Acknowledging the trouble, in some cases, Apple has also allowed the official resellers to replace the displays, under warranty. Suspicions are, that a bad batch of OLED displays was used in the iPhones which, impacted by an underlying change in the recent iOS update resulted in the bizarre green tint. Affected people claim that the problem is the same with Apple’s new iOS 13.5.5 beta, and hence, the time it will take and the mode it will choose, to fix the fault is unknown.

Though the newly launched iOS 14’s inclusivity will help Apple buy some time, yet it’s under constant pressure due to the arising complaints as such kind of issue is very rare and even difficult for Apple to understand and solve it.

Almost four years later, the original iPhone SE came out as Apple introduced the all new model in April 2020. According to the reports, many people who loved the original SE model would have been filled with joy following the new of new SE launch.

The new SE is reportedly identical to the iPhone 8, but introduces the A13 chipset processor of iPhone 11 as well as uses a 4.7-inch screen.

According to the company, it is a tiny phone that many Apple users love. It is also the tiniest, as well as the most affordable iPhone at the present time. The device is pretty small when compared to the current mobile phone standards. Even it is compared with Galaxy S20 that has a 6.2-inch screen, which is pretty large when compared to SE.

However, the people that love the original iPhone SE will still found it approximately 20 % bigger than the original SE that was released four years back. The screen size of the original SE iPhone was 4 inches.    

If you still wish to own a pretty tiny cell phone, then 2020’s iPhone SE will not make you that happy as it is still far larger than your fantasy iPhone SE that was launched about 4 years ago. Some people just want to add unnecessary bulk to their pockets when a smaller phone can do the same job. Considering the fact it has a 4.7-inch display, it is not for the people who want a true tiny powered pack phone. 

The news about new iPhone SE with A 13 bionic chip might have thrilled the users that love small size powerful phone. However, when they heard that it is 4.7 inches large, their excitement faded away.

Now, this also means that Apple doesn’t care what people want for, and they simply don’t want to bring the small phones back into the market. No matter how much people loved the original SE, Apple decides to carry on its new iPhone in big screen sizes. However, 2020’s SE is still the smallest set in the market till date. 

This does not mean that Apple will not be likely to lower down the screen size of its upcoming smartphones. As per the rumors, Apple will release the iPhone 12 with a 5.4-inch display for the people who love compact devices in their pockets.

I actually agree with Apple’s decision, for it will release only bigger display phones but think about the people who feel uncomfortable or strained while carrying 6 inches of phones in their pocket. Yes, a large screen size means better picture experience, but it is also tough to carry in small pockets. 

Think about fitness enthusiasts who want their phones to be as small as possible, along with modern features. While running, jogging, and doing an intense physical workout, they can’t carry a big phone that can make them very uncomfortable. It also adds significant weight to the pocket, and running gets very challenging. 

Small phones like the original iPhone SE was a perfect choice for such people who want to keep their phone small and lightweight as much as possible. For moderate people who don’t work out, the latest SE is a perfect choice. It will be a perfect choice for these users.

A MAN WITH THE CLASH:
AN INTERVIEW WITH AZAZEL JACOBS

The Film Review

Azazel Jacobs is the son of noted avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs and writer/director of Nobody Needs to Know, one of seven films screening at New York City’s Gen Art Film Festival.

Manhattan, circa 1982. Azazel Jacobs was in seventh grade spending most of his time actively flunking science and skateboarding to the sounds of The Clash. His parents knew, but were largely unconcerned – with the failing that is. The Clash well, that’s a different story.

By ’83, a Clash-led punk revolution was herding America’s youth and the innately cool Aza had answered the call. He owned a pair of clunky Doc Martins and a black top hat. Joe Strummer posters owned his bedroom walls. Oddly, more than any number of impoverished report cards, this pop-culture adulation worried the elder Jacobs. It smacked of thoughtless acceptance, whereas skipping class was at least a conscious decision if not a sign of careful deliberation.

“To my folks, failing at school wasn’t failing at living,” Aza recalls. “But failing to think sure was.” In response to Aza’s adoption of advertised “cool,” a family meeting was called. The goal was simple: awareness. It seems, whether treating The Clash or the clap, knowledge is prevention and education isn’t always found in school. Or so were the beliefs of the Jacobs household, particularly of Aza’s father Ken.

“Academically, you do what you’re inclined,” was Ken’s stance, a former scholastic also-ran but more memorably, an avant-garde filmmaker who is to the camera what Jack Kerouac is to the pen. Ken’s films refresh the whole medium with elated possibility. In Nervous System, he creates new relationships within the frames of existing film, cutting and pitting scenes against each other on a single screen. He calls it “mining” and with live screenings, Ken’s film (you can download live wallpapers from your favorite films) direction is akin to performance art.

Despite no formal training, in 1969 Ken was offered a professorship teaching experimental film at SUNY Binghamton, where he remains today, still harboring a wariness of traditional education. “Dangerous,” Ken called it while visiting UC Berkeley in 1999 to participate in their Conversations with History series. “Sometimes you just have to learn to wrest an education from the patterns of education,” he rejoined. Indeed, Ken’s education was subjected to Ken rather than the other way around. If inclined, learn it, his actions espoused.

Young Aza was taught the same acid test for knowledge and if that meant subjecting science to indifferent failure, so it did. There was just one caveat, the same implicit message that underlined The Clash awareness chat of ‘83: own your decisions.

“It was never about The Clashes lyrics or values. [My parents] were just frightened that I wasn’t thinking for myself,” Aza says reflecting on that childhood sit-down. “They just saw all my gear and my attitude and felt like it wasn’t true-individuality, but a store bought stand-in.”

Ultimately Aza was just wresting, not unlike poppa Jacobs had taught. Imitating Joe Strummer wasn’t the idle acceptance of approved cool; it was modeling an uncompromising artist. It was education by inclination and Aza owned it.

“Joe Strummer and The Clash and Lenny Bruce before them embodied the balance,” Aza says. “They’re on CBS and in stores and reaching this incredibly wide audience but ideals are never compromised. You’re still producing things you care about and projects are still coming from a place of sincerity.”

The Clash left that place after headlining The Combat Rock Tour at Shea Stadium. The performance breached an odd crossroads: At a new commercial high, Clash “individuality” was a full-blown commodity. And what then? What happens when a group founded as different becomes so popular that their differences cease to be?

The Clash didn’t stick around to learn the answers. Instead, they disintegrated, almost willfully, in 1983. “They knew they were playing in a world that was self-defeating,” says Aza. “So the question was never how were they going to succeed, but how would they fail? And what would they accomplish before they failed?”

Are you too possessive about your partner?

It is quite natural for both men as well as women to feel possessive about the other in a relationship (for a new relationship try the video chat app). The situation though can be quite a taxing one and may spell doom for the relationship. A possessive partner makes the situation very uncomfortable for the other partner who may find it difficult to handle the situation.

Insecurity is apparently the main reason for possessiveness in people. A self-confident person has full faith in his partner and does not feel the need to control her or their relationship. On the contrary, an insecure person doubts the dedication of the partner and tries to control their relationship. Their action is aimed at preventing their vulnerability and making sure they do not hurt.

The feeling of possessiveness and a little jealousy exist in all relationship, however, you should watch out and ensure that the situation does not get out of your control. The reasons that make you possessive may entirely be your own and you must make an effort to identify them and resolve them to ensure a healthy relationship.

If you feel possessive for your partner, you should get rid of any fear or insecurity that you may have and work on building your self-esteem. It is important for both partners to avoid any negative feelings and make a genuine effort towards securing their relationship with love and devotion. The feelings of possessiveness in your partner can be overcome by just reassuring your love to him or her. So, let go of this feeling and reignite the love and care in your relationship.

According to BuzzFeed News, Apple has disabled the app of ClearView artificial intelligence facial recognition due to the controversies copped up regarding the app. Apple took this decision after it found that the app is violating the developed agreement and so suspended it. Amidst all, the move taken by the company is a big blow to the facial recognition that starts up. The app has faced several challenges and lawsuits from privacy advocates. In an analysis of a clear view artificial app, BuzzFeed found that the company is violating the rules of iPhone makers while distributing its apps to customers and law enforcement agencies.

ClearView has claimed that the iOS application developed by it has worked with thousands of organizations and institutions and has amassed a database of billions of photos but the application has been disabled by Apple. It was found that the NewYork based company has violated the rules of iPhone makers around the app distribution. BuzzFeed News has stated that facial recognition application of ClearView has been used by more than 2,200 private and public organizations which also includes the NBA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the FBI has sidestepped the Apple app store.

The sidestepping of the Apple App Store further encouraged those people who were willing to utilize the software for downloading its app through an exclusively reserved program for the developers. Further, Apple investigated the matter responding to the inquiry done by BuzzFeed and suspended the ClearView developer account preventing it from operating. Apple has also sent 14 days’ notice to ClearView to respond to the mater and said that those companies violating the rules regarding the Apple Developer Enterprise Program will be liable for revocation of their respective accounts.

Meanwhile, the spokesman of ClearView has said that the company is in contact with Apple and continuously working on complying with the terms and conditions laid by Apple. The CEO of ClearView AI Hoan Ton-That said in an interview the customers and users can not use the app without having a valid account of ClearView. However, the users can download the application but they will not be able to search for anything without having the proper credentials and authorization.

However, it is not clear that what the CEO of ClearView wanted to say in his statement and what he meant by credentials and authorization. It is noteworthy that the facial recognition application of ClearView is used by several entities and organizations which includes banks, private investigation agencies, retailers, corporate and government organizations. The application technology of ClearView can be used through both mobile apps and desktop computer software.

Amidst all these controversies, it should be taken into notice that ClearView AI is not the first company that is facing the lawsuits and allegations by violating the Apple Developer Program rules as earlier Google and FaceBook were also found violating the rules. Both Google and Facebook were restricted by Apple to use its platform by suspending their accounts. However, ClearView is busy in promoting its application but it will be interesting to see how the company resolves the matter with Apple.
