1 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Not one, but three new iPhones this year. I'm Rich Demiro. 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech Daily. A new report says 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: Apple will launch three new phones this fall, including a 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: less expensive model. So what we're looking at here are 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: basically three iPhone tens, but in different sizes. They're all 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: gonna have face ID plus those edge to edge screens, 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: but they're going to come in small, medium, and i'd 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: say extra large in the high end, a six and 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: a half inch screen. This is an inch bigger than 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: the eight plus. There's also going to be the smaller 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: updated iPhone ten plus an even smaller version of the 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: iPhone ten that should cost less. So how are they 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: going to get that price down? Will it may not 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: have the super expensive screen of the flagship model, or 15 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: maybe they'll do something with the camera last year's technology. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: This report is out of Bloomberg from a reporter that 17 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: is pretty good about knowing about this stuff all right, 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen could be the year of mobile malware. Secure 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: for McAfee reported sixteen million infections in twenty seventeen, which 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: is way more than the previous year, and they say 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: hackers are becoming more focused on mobile attacks. Some of 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: the predicted targets. In twenty eighteen, banking trojans aimed at 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: account holders at large and small banks, virtual bank robberies 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: to grab cryptocurrency, and using the cameras, microphones and GPS 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: on our phones to spy on us. This is what 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: we really have to watch out for as the average person. 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: My advice when you download any app, be very weary 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: of the permissions it asks for, especially when it comes 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: to the camera, GPS and microphone. If you think an 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: app does not need the permissions that it asks for, 31 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: press that cancel button and find a new one. Speaking 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: of apps, a new one is heading to the top 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: of the charts because it's sort of the anti Instagram. 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: It's called Vero, and it lets you share movies, TV music, 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: places photos, and links in a way that Instagram kind 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: of used to be. There's no algorithm and there are 37 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: no ads. You see your friend friends posts in chronological order. 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: Plus you can choose the audience for each and every post. 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: You can say only your close friends see it, or 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: only your friends, acquaintances, or followers, which is basically public 41 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Vero is now topping the app charts for social media 42 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: both on Google Play and the App Store. I played 43 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: around with this, I signed up. It actually looks very promising. 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be around in six months, 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: if a lot of people are gonna be using it, 46 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: but I really like how you can recommend things like 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: movies and the music that you're listening to, because sometimes 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: you just want to see what someone's into and there's 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: not really an easy way of doing that.
