Apple May Launch iPhone 15 With the World’s Thinnest Screen Ever

The highly anticipated iPhone 15 lineup will be released by Apple at the end of 2023, as per the report, and the Internet has been humming with rumors in the lead-up to it. The tech titan from California will grab attention by producing the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max with the thinnest bezels ever.

Apple will release the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max in the next six months, according to the most recent reports. New periscope camera technology, solid-state volume, power buttons, USB-C in place of Lightning, A17 processors, and other features are anticipated for the iPhone 15 Pro variants.

The Dynamic Island and the switch from Lightning to USB-C will be present on all iPhone 15 models, but the iPhone 15 Pro lineup will also have an improved USB-C connection with USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 transfer speeds.

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are anticipated to include 6.1 and 6.7-inch OLED displays with a Dynamic Island cutout for the camera and Face ID technology, respectively, identical to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will be the only devices to use the nanometer A17 chip; all other iPhone 15 models will continue to use the A16 chip found in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. The A17 processor is anticipated to have more RAM, while all iPhone 15 models will use the same 5G Qualcomm modem chip for connectivity.

Except for one primary difference telephoto camera lens—the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will mostly retain the same features. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will contain a periscope lens that will enable 6x optical zoom, a considerable advance above the 3x zoom on the iPhone 14 Pro models. 

Github Copilot Uses an Open AI-Powered Engine to Suggest Code

GitHub is huge, with 100 million developers, 330 million code repositories, and 4 million organizations utilizing it, including 90% of the Fortune 100.

GitHub Copilot is an Artificially Intelligent (AI) pair programmer that works directly from your editor to suggest code and whole functions. It employs the OpenAI Codex paradigm developed by OpenAI. Code may be written more quickly and with less effort.

It quickly suggests specific lines of code and complete functions based on comments and another code context. It is provided as an add-on for the integrated development environments (IDEs) from the JetBrains family, including Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Neovim, and others (IDEs).

GitHub Copilot transforms natural language prompts into coding suggestions across dozens of languages after being trained on billions of lines of code.

Developers utilize GitHub Copilot to create more quickly, concentrate on business logic rather than boilerplate code, and sharpen their key competencies in creating top-notch software.

It helps Save time by avoiding boilerplate and repeating code patterns. Simply describe the desired logic in a comment, and GitHub Copilot will quickly offer code to implement it.

GitHub Copilot can guide you whether you’re learning to code, working in a new language or framework, or both. Eliminate the need to spend most of your time digging through documentation or conducting online searches to solve an issue or learn how to use a new framework.

According to its statistics, 74% of people work on more fulfilling tasks, 88% feel more productive, and 96% move more quickly using Github Copilot.

3D Avatars Will Be Available in Microsoft Teams for Those Who Don’t Wish to Use Their Webcams

When participating in a Zoom or Teams meeting, there are many reasons to turn off your camera. According to Microsoft’s 365 roadmap, avatars for Microsoft Teams will finally be made available to all users in May 2023, which was first announced in 2021.

Microsoft Teams’ avatars are made to allow users to avoid being seen on camera while in meetings. If you don’t feel like using video or if you need a break from constant calls, then you can replace in a 3D avatar that will move depending solely on your vocal commands.

Microsoft projected in late 2021 that the first iterations of these avatars would only move when users spoke, but soon the company expects them to be capable of replicating users’ actual facial expressions and body movements as seen on their webcams.

Although a full list of capabilities isn’t included in the roadmap update, Mesh for Teams had previously made announcements that included avatars with adjustable body types, skin tones, hair colors, haircuts, outfits, and facial traits.

Microsoft Mesh will also offer virtual workspaces that can be accessed through VR in addition to 3D Teams avatars, giving remote workers the impression that they are in a meeting room as someone talks in front of a PowerPoint deck.
