IPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max: Things you might have not known about Apple's new phones

Cited.

The iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max have Wi-Fi 6

Similar to the Galaxy S10 Plus, the new iPhones have the next generation of wireless networking known as Wi-Fi 6. As CNET Senior Editor Ry Crist puts it, "Devices that support Wi-Fi 6 still speak that same Wi-Fi language to talk to each other -- they just talk faster and more efficiently than before."
Compared to Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 "supports faster top transfer speeds; lets devices send more information with each individual transmission; lets routers and other access points service more devices at once; helps sensors and other wireless gadgets conserve battery power by scheduling transmissions; and facilitates better, faster performance in dense, crowded environments like airports and stadiums."
But you likely won't see any perks in your iPhone 11 now. Wi-Fi 6 isn't officially certified yet, and Wi-Fi 6 routers are expensive. And even if you do have one, your top speeds only reach whatever your service provider caps you off at anyway. Think of this tidbit as more like future-proofing your phone, instead of an immediate benefit.

They have an Ultra Wide-band chip

Apple didn't make a big deal about this feature during the keynote, but it does care enough to point it out on its product site. The company designed a new chip called U1 for "spatial awareness," and it helps iPhones find other iPhones more precisely when they're in close proximity. 
Apple says this improves AirDrop, a service that lets iPhone users quickly share files with nearby iPhones. With the release of iOS 13.1, the new chip will allow you to "point your iPhone toward someone else's, and AirDrop will prioritize that device so you can share files faster."  
Tantalizingly, Apple added that "that's just the beginning." Many believe that the U1 chip is actually laying the groundwork for a long-rumored Apple tile tracker.

iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max ship with 18W USB-C chargers

Though fast charging has been available to Android users for years, the feature will now be available to iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max users. Previously, Apple would include 5-watt chargers in the box, but the more premium iPhones will have an 18-watt USB-C charger and a USB-C-to-Lightning cable bundled with the phone. The new charger will apparently charge the iPhone 11 Pro up to 50% in 30 minutes, according to Apple.

They're heavier this year

While the iPhone 11 and the iPhone XR weigh the same, the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are a tad heavier than their 2018 counterparts (the iPhone XS and XS Max, respectively). The 11 Pro weighs 11 grams (about 0.4 ounces) more while the 11 Pro Max weighs 18 grams more.
While you may not notice it in real life, especially if you don't have one in each hand, CNET Senior Editor Scott Stein did say he noticed they felt denser compared to last year's models during his brief hands-on with them. The added weight is likely due to the extra camera lens and the bigger battery.

iPhone 11 says goodbye to 3D Touch for good

Apple began to phase out its 3D Touch feature in 2018, starting with the iPhone XR. Debuting in 2015 in the iPhone 6S, 3D Touch allowed you to access additional menu options and commands by hard-pressing your finger against the screen. Now, however, the feature is absent on all three new iPhone 11s.
Instead, the company replaced 3D Touch with Haptic Touch. Haptic Touch works relatively the same way, except instead of having to press down harder on the screen, you'll need to merely long-press on the item.

New year ,New tunes  2017 was bursting with big releases from major artists, but even more breakouts are slated to have their moment in 2018. We picked 12 artists on the rise that we're most excited about going into the new year. Get all the details from the list below.   PRETTYMUCH Mark my words, 2018 is the year of PRETTYMUCH.

Bad temper - A story which i didn't know what it meant until now

😂😂          So , while flipping through some old literature books, I found this story which I didn't know the meaning, for a writer to write something , maybe a book ,does it not mean that he/she is trying to pass a message to the reader?.... I have always been advised to read books , whether it relates to my course of study or not......It sounds lame to me, when I think I can do other fun things like watching dance videos on Instagram or watching some interesting series . Before I forget now....the story goes thus:   There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.  The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled...
