Kuo: 2019 iPhones and New iPad Pro Models in Late 2019 to Early 2020 to Adopt New Antenna Technology - Mac Rumors

Apple plans to use modified-PI (MPI) material for most antennas in 2019 iPhones, rather than the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) material used for the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR antennas, according to the latest research note from reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, obtained by MacRumors.


Kuo believes that LCP limits the RF performance of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR antennas due to current technology limitations and production issues. This puts the RF performance of MPI material at least on par with LCP, despite MPI being easier and cheaper to produce.

While switching to MPI material for 2019 iPhone antennas appears to be a no-brainer decision for Apple, Kuo expects that LCP will still be the primary material for 5G antennas in 2020 iPhones, as he believes that the production issues limiting the RF performance of LCP will be resolved by then.

In today's note, Kuo also said he expects Apple to use LCP material in future iPad models, starting from the late fourth quarter of 2019.


In a separate research note last month, which has only been seen by Taiwanese media so far, Kuo said two new iPad Pro models with the same 11-inch and 12.9-inch screen sizes as the current models will enter mass production between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

Kuo said those new iPad Pro models will feature flexible circuit boards using LCP, but we've yet to receive that research note in English, so we cannot confirm any further details at this time.

After Math: Liar, liar, pants on fire - Engadget

Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you this week a broken man. My childhood dream of seeing a speedy video game rodent hero break the fourth wall and go on a road trip with a middling white male actor I only sort of recognize has been shattered. Not because he doesn't do exactly that, but because of those teeth. Those human, human teeth.

Weekend poll: Will you be tuning in to Google I/O? - Android Police

We're just a few days out from Google's upcoming I/O developer conference, where Google is expected to announce and formally reveal a whole pile of things, from the Pixel 3a to new Android TV hardware. If history is any indicator, the company will also discuss some of its long- and short-term plans for a little operating system called Android — ever heard of it?

I/O is sure to be an information-dense few days, how much are you planning on watching?

The full schedule is available online, and there will be plenty of talks to tune in on other than just the normal event-starting, 10AM Keynote. The Developer Keynote usually reveals a few more technical tidbits that escape translation for general appeal. The Fireside Chat with Hiroshi Lockheimer on May 9th could also be fun, as will the customary Android Fireside Chat. What's New in Gaming at Google is likely to reveal more information about the upcoming Stadia service as well, though odds are we'll get summaries when it comes to most of this stuff in the general Keynote.

More esoteric and interesting events include Teaching a Car to Drive Itself by Imitation and Imagination, Making Art with Artificial Intelligence: Artists in Conversation, The Power of Looking Up, with Astronaut Mae Jemison, and a ton more machine learning/AI talks.

The schedule is, frankly, a bit overwhelming, and plenty of cool stuff unfortunately overlaps. At least all the big talks will be recorded for later viewing. Last year most of you watched the Keynote or nothing. So, how much will you be tuning in for this time? (And don't worry, we'll be around to print up the most important details.)

Google Pixel 3 XL international giveaway! - Android Authority

It’s time for the Sunday giveaway! Like every week, we’re giving away another a brand new Android phone to one lucky Android Authority reader.

A big congratulations to the winners of last week’s Honor View 20 giveaway, Jordi V. from Spain.

This week we’re giving away a brand new Google Pixel 3 XL, courtesy of courtesy of the DGiT Daily Newsletter!

The DGiT Daily newsletter is a brand new daily briefing focused on bringing you the best tech news and links to what’s happening all around the web. It doesn’t matter if it’s from The Wall Street Journal or the depths of a 41-tweet Twitter thread — we’ll find it, and tell you what it means.

The daily email arrives fresh at around 7 a.m. ET every day, and we’re committed to making sure it entertains with a brief, honest, authoritative, and never-too-serious look at the tech news of the day via our Senior Editor, Tristan Rayner.

The DGiT Daily also comes with two bonuses. The first is a daily surprise segment you’ll have to read each day — you’ll get an idea by looking at our recent editions from this week: Tumblr, or what’s left of it, is up for sale from Friday and How NASA’s two failed rocket launches came from fraudulent metals from Thursday.

The second bonus is… a podcast! Yes, the DGiT Daily is also going to be available as the DGiT Daily podcast, accompanying the newsletter but made for your ears, via always entertaining podcast host Adam Doud (yes, he’s on the Android Authority podcast too).

While the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL may not rival the Galaxy Note 9 in terms of specs, these phones improve on the very aspect that made the Pixel 2 so great — the camera. They still sport the same single rear cameras as the Pixel 2, but there are a ton of camera software improvements here. Top Shot mode takes multiple pictures of your subject and recommend the best one. Night Sight mode also brings next-level low-light photography thanks to computational photography.

They both have 18:9 screens (well, 18.5:9 for the XL), yet they still look very different from one another. The Pixel 3 has a 5.5-inch Full HD+ screen that makes it look like a smaller Pixel 2 XL, while the Pixel 3 XL has a big ol’ notch at the top of its screen. Both phones also come with Qi wireless charging support, no headphone jack (womp womp), and still manage to squeeze in front-facing speakers.

To learn more about the Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL, head to our related coverage below:
