Speaker 1: Not one, but three new iPhones this year. I'm Rich Demiro.
Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech Daily. A new report says
Speaker 1: Apple will launch three new phones this fall, including a
Speaker 1: less expensive model. So what we're looking at here are
Speaker 1: basically three iPhone tens, but in different sizes. They're all
Speaker 1: gonna have face ID plus those edge to edge screens,
Speaker 1: but they're going to come in small, medium, and i'd
Speaker 1: say extra large in the high end, a six and
Speaker 1: a half inch screen. This is an inch bigger than
Speaker 1: the eight plus. There's also going to be the smaller
Speaker 1: updated iPhone ten plus an even smaller version of the
Speaker 1: iPhone ten that should cost less. So how are they
Speaker 1: going to get that price down? Will it may not
Speaker 1: have the super expensive screen of the flagship model, or
Speaker 1: maybe they'll do something with the camera last year's technology.
Speaker 1: This report is out of Bloomberg from a reporter that
Speaker 1: is pretty good about knowing about this stuff all right,
Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen could be the year of mobile malware. Secure
Speaker 1: for McAfee reported sixteen million infections in twenty seventeen, which
Speaker 1: is way more than the previous year, and they say
Speaker 1: hackers are becoming more focused on mobile attacks. Some of
Speaker 1: the predicted targets. In twenty eighteen, banking trojans aimed at
Speaker 1: account holders at large and small banks, virtual bank robberies
Speaker 1: to grab cryptocurrency, and using the cameras, microphones and GPS
Speaker 1: on our phones to spy on us. This is what
Speaker 1: we really have to watch out for as the average person.
Speaker 1: My advice when you download any app, be very weary
Speaker 1: of the permissions it asks for, especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to the camera, GPS and microphone. If you think an
Speaker 1: app does not need the permissions that it asks for,
Speaker 1: press that cancel button and find a new one. Speaking
Speaker 1: of apps, a new one is heading to the top
Speaker 1: of the charts because it's sort of the anti Instagram.
Speaker 1: It's called Vero, and it lets you share movies, TV music,
Speaker 1: places photos, and links in a way that Instagram kind
Speaker 1: of used to be. There's no algorithm and there are
Speaker 1: no ads. You see your friend friends posts in chronological order.
Speaker 1: Plus you can choose the audience for each and every post.
Speaker 1: You can say only your close friends see it, or
Speaker 1: only your friends, acquaintances, or followers, which is basically public
Speaker 1: Vero is now topping the app charts for social media
Speaker 1: both on Google Play and the App Store. I played
Speaker 1: around with this, I signed up. It actually looks very promising.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be around in six months,
Speaker 1: if a lot of people are gonna be using it,
Speaker 1: but I really like how you can recommend things like
Speaker 1: movies and the music that you're listening to, because sometimes
Speaker 1: you just want to see what someone's into and there's
Speaker 1: not really an easy way of doing that. Right now,
Speaker 1: you can find a link on my website. Just go
Speaker 1: to Rich on tech dot tv. Thanks so much for listening.
Speaker 1: The best thing you can do for me is to
Speaker 1: rate and review the podcast. Just open up the podcasts
Speaker 1: app there's a place to do that right at the bottom,
Speaker 1: and don't forget to subscribe. I really appreciate you listening.
Speaker 1: I'm richdmiro Rich on tech dot tv. I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you next time.
