A post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo attracted attention last Thursday (April 22), revealing what appears to be the architecture of the rumored new iPhone 13 pro and iPhone mini. The unit, which has already been the subject of other rumors and leaks, is depicted in a picture of a potential rear prototype.

Although the cell phone in the picture has a rather refined finish, it is still unclear if it is a working prototype or merely a demonstrative version for testing.

However, the image confirms other reports about the device’s camera configuration and design language, which had previously been seen in digital renders. Here’s an example of a comparison:

Similarly, the rumor claims that the smartphone in the picture is a teaser of what to expect from the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, the most powerful models in the future line. On the other hand, because Apple’s sales of the iPhone 12 mini were far below estimates, the latest mini edition could also replace the iPhone SE 3.

It’s worth noting that, as with any rumor, several aspects of the product might change before its official launch, so all that’s left to do now is wait for Apple to confirm the news.

The creation and maintenance platform sites WordPress joined the fray against the new advertising system Google that replaces the famous cookies and increases user navigation trace.

In a post on the service’s official blog, WordPress announced that it will treat the Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) as a security threat, preventing the feature from being used within the platform’s command center. According to those responsible for the publication, this is possible with just four lines of code that prevent the execution of the screening.

According to the organization, “placing people in groups based on browsing habits probably facilitates discrimination in employment, housing, and other types, as well as predatory advertising of consumers without sophisticating them”.

And?

Their positioning is important: WordPress is responsible for 41% of all websites. That is, nearly half of all websites on the planet will stop using Google’s “new cookies.”

“This is coupled with privacy concerns about tracking people and sharing their data, apparently without informed consent, and makes it more difficult for regulators and legislators to protect people,” says the statement.

Google started testing FLoC in April 2021 from Google Chrome. WordPress version 5.8, which promises to debut the blockade, arrives until July this year. The Brave browser has also expressed its opposition to the project.

Test your browser on this website to see if you’re part of the limited number of people who are actively participating in the FLoC trial. You should easily avoid using Google Chrome if you are being “FloCed” and don’t want to use blocking extensions. If you can’t or won’t do that, at the very least, log out of your Google account, switch off “Web & App Activity,” and turn off “Ad Personalization” in your browser’s settings. These seem to work in removing users from the FLoC trial, at least for the time being.

Twitter has finally updated its imaging system and now allows Android and iOS users to post 4K resolution images on the social network. The novelty is already being released globally and just needs a configuration in the app to start working.

The user can enable the upload and view of images in resolutions up to 4K by entering the Twitter settings and going to the “Data Usage” tab. Then just activate “Upload high-quality images” and “High-quality images.”

Twitter allows the user to enable viewing and sending 4K images only on Wi-Fi or also on mobile networks. However, it is worth noting that the use of the function in cellular connection increases data consumption.

With the update, the Twitter application is finally able to keep up with the web version of the social network, which already has support for images up to 4,096 x 4,096 pixels. Previously, users of the mobile version of the microblog could use photos up to 2,048 x 2,048 pixels in their publications.

Support for high-resolution images is not the only novelty that has recently come to the social network application. Twitter for Android and iOS also received Spaces, an audio tool similar to the Clubhouse app, this year.
