El analista Ross Young has commented Some details of what the next generation of the iPhone SE may be, currently based on the design of the iPhone 8 and the power of the A13 chip of the iPhone 11. Apparently, Apple would have planned to renew that iPhone again in 2022.

That renovation would retain its current 4.7-inch LCD screen, along with its design and Touch ID button; but yes that I would add a 5G modem compatible with Sub-6 Ghz mode of the band so that it reaches the maximum speeds of mobile data.

The Meridiani Planum is a Martian equatorial plain located west of the Sinus Meridiani. In 2004, Opportunity landed at the site to study something that had intrigued scientists for many years: hematite. On Earth, this iron oxide appears almost exclusively associated with liquid water.

Fortunately, we have more ways to see the mighty landscapes of the Martian equator.

As noted by the well-known WhatsApp function leaker, the company is working on a function that will allow to move the chats from iOS to Android and probably in the opposite direction as well. It is not something simple due to the operation of WhatsApp itself, but it seems that the function is already in the oven.

The New York Times, The Guardian, the BBC, The country… All the major generalist media have introduced visual modules and data analysis in the last year that sought and searched for trends that would help to interpret the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic that upset our entire lives just over a year ago.

And, in most cases, these large newspapers have used the same source to represent data such as the number of deaths, infections or vaccinations: the Our World in Data portal.
