    Thai organ donation center warns that selling kidneys to get an iPhone 14 is ‘unethical’

    A meme claiming that three people with bloodied bandages on their abdomens sold their kidneys to purchase the latest Apple iPhone 14 has been condemned by a Thai doctor.

    The executive director of the Thai Red Cross Organ Donation Center, Dr Sophon Mekthon, issued a warning about the illegality of organ trading in Thailand and denounced the meme that had been going around since it appeared on Thai social media over the weekend.

    “There is no organ trading. That is prohibited,” Mekthon said. “It is inappropriate to suggest selling organs, especially to get money to buy an iPhone. It is morally wrong and unethical.”

    According to reports, the image came from a Vietnamese beauty parlour with a Laos base. It has subsequently been removed.

    The image showed three persons with their abdomens exposed and bandaged, suggesting that each of them had sold one of their kidneys to pay for an iPhone 14.

    The meme was allegedly taken as a joke in Laos, but when it appeared on social media on Saturday, users in Thailand took the image seriously. The joke and the message it conveys to young people have drawn criticism from several commenters.

    A Chinese guy who sold his kidney in 2011 to purchase an iPhone 4 was later diagnosed with serious organ failure, according to a similar case that surfaced in 2019.

  • iPhone 14 may feature lock screen display and widgets

    iPhone 14 may feature lock screen display and widgets

    Several rumours are presently circulating the internet about the forthcoming iPhone’s traits and powers. According to some reports, Apple may forego the notch this time around in favour of a larger display.

    As nothing has been confirmed so far, and most predictions are a little overstated, all such leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt.

    There have been no official reports about when the new iPhone will be released. We already know that Apple will host WWDC 2022 on June 6th. It is also expected to release iOS 16, the next major software version for the iPhone.

    It will most likely introduce iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, and macOS 13 at its upcoming event.

    The company hasn’t revealed a date for its fall event, which is usually when the next iPhone is unveiled. Apple usually holds its annual autumn iPhone event in September, with releases following soon after.

    On the first or second of September, Apple usually announces its new iPhones. Last year, the iPhone 13 series made its official premiere on Tuesday, September 14th, with preorders beginning on Friday, September 17th, and the phones going on sale on September 24th.

    Apple’s fall event for the iPhone 14 could take place on Tuesday, September 6, or Tuesday, September 13. Because iPhones normally go on sale for presale on Fridays of the same week.

    iPhones are normally released a week and a half after Apple makes an announcement. Specific model introduction dates are sometimes staggered, especially when introducing a new design or size. As a result, it’s feasible that the iPhone 14 lineup will have multiple release dates.

    For the time being, however, the additional features that these operating systems will bring are unknown. According to a source, Apple may include the ability to include lock screen widgets, support for always-on displays, and much more.

  • Apple cuts prices, launches cheap iPhone 11

    Apple cuts prices, launches cheap iPhone 11

    Apple has announced its three new iPhone models iPhones 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone Pro Max for 2019 with prices starting at $699 (Rs.109466), $999 (Rs.156448) and $1,099 (Rs.172108), respectively.

    These new iPhone models pick up a fresh palette of colors, longer battery life and a A13 Bionic processor inside that promises faster performance.

    But more than any other features, it’s the camera hardware and software that take the headlining role. There are three cameras on the back of the two Pro models and two on the back of the simple iPhone 11.

    iPhone 11:

    The new iPhone 11 comes with a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display, which is the same size as the screen on 2018’s iPhone XR. The notch remains at the top of the screen and it weighs in at 194 grams.

    It features a 12MP wide camera with a 26mm lens, paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens with 120 degree field of view, and the selfie camera comes with a 12MP TrueDepth lens to take wider images.

    It is available in Purple, White, Yellow, Green, Black and Product Red. The rear of the phone is glass, and there’s a Lightning connector on the bottom edge. It’s also water resistant, meaning it can survive in up to two meters of water.

    The iPhone 11 comes with a A13 Bionic chipset which the company claims that it will provide faster performance. The device will come running iOS 13 software out of the box immediately that comes with a system-wide Dark Mode for the first time.

    It will be available in 64GB, 128GB or 256GB options, however, the prices can vary with different storage options.

    The iPhone 11 is the “affordable” iPhone in Apple’s new lineup, which also includes two high-end iPhone 11 Pro models. The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max replace last year’s iPhone XS and XS Max. The new models come with triple rear cameras that include an ultra wide angle lens and a telephoto lens. All three 12MP sensors can shoot in 4K at 60fps and the phones also come with Night mode.

    iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max:

    Apple has also launched the pro models for iPhone 11 as well, which is iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The Pro models offer a 5.8-inch OLED display, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max gets a large 6.5-inch OLED screen, which Apple calls Super Retina XDR display.

    Like the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro models also feature the A13 Bionic chipset. The company also claims 4 hours extra battery life on the Pro model as compared to its predecessor and 5 hours more battery life with the 11 Pro Max.

    On the rear side both feature three-camera lenses, a 12MP telephoto lens, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP wide lens. Apple has included a new Deep Fusion feature which aims to take on the Google Pixel’s portrait mode. 

    The high-end iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max both start with 64GB inbuilt storage space
