Read Apple CEO Tim Cook’s letter to employees about the decline in iPhone sales
Addressing the problem of iPhone sales slowdown, Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook told his employees that he doesn’t hold “external factors” responsible for the low holiday quarter.
Bloomberg News has obtained a memo in which Cook said he was disappointed that the Cupertino based technology giant had to cut its revenue outlook for the first time in about twenty years.
He said that the situation arose from a “number of factors — some macroeconomic, and some specific to Apple and the smartphone industry.” However, he also added that Apple will be setting record revenues for its services, wearables and Macs. Read his full letter here to know what he had to say:
Team,
Happy New Year — I hope everyone was able to rest and enjoy time with loved ones over the holidays.
This afternoon we issued a letter to Apple investors explaining that we are revising our financial guidance for the holiday quarter. I encourage you to read it. As you will see, our revenue shortfall in Q1 is from iPhone, primarily in Greater China.
While we are disappointed to be falling short of our quarterly revenue goal, our fiscal first quarter was also a record setter for revenue from Services, Wearables and the Mac. iPad revenue grew double-digits over the year-ago quarter, and iPhone activations in the US and Canada set new Christmas Day records. We expect to set all-time revenue records in key markets including the US, Canada and Mexico, Western European countries including Germany and Italy, and countries across the Asia-Pacific region like Korea and Vietnam. Our worldwide installed base of active devices also hit a new all-time high, reflecting the loyalty of our customers and their appreciation for the work you do.
We are tremendously proud of the innovations we’re delivering to our customers with iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. These are, without a doubt, the best iPhones we’ve ever made. We did not set a new record for iPhone sales in Q1, however, due to a number of factors — some macroeconomic, and some specific to Apple and the smartphone industry.
External forces may push us around a bit, but we are not going to use them as an excuse. Nor will we just wait around until they get better. This moment gives us an opportunity to learn and to take action, to focus on our strengths and on Apple’s mission — delivering the best products on earth for our customers and providing them with an unmatched level of service. We manage Apple for the long term, and in challenging times we have always come out stronger.
With that in mind, please join me for an all-hands meeting on Thursday morning at 9:30 am PT. Be sure to check AppleWeb for more details. Due to construction at Apple Park, we’ll be gathering at Town Hall on the Infinite Loop campus. Join us there in person, or via live stream through AppleWeb. I’ll have more details about the quarter, and I’m looking forward to your thoughts and questions.
Hope to see you there.
Tim

CES 2019: Here’s everything you can expect from the biggest tech show of the year
Consumer Electronics Show is undoubtedly the biggest technology event of the year. Annually held in Las Vegas in January, the show sees all the major technology companies showcase their latest products and talk about what they are working on. The show is known to be full of futuristic technology. And this year is going to be no different. Right before it is about to begin on January 8, here we list down everything that you can expect to see at the biggest tech show of the year:
Samsung will be mostly showing off its technology other than smartphones at CES 2019. We are expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy Home that it unveiled at Galaxy Note 9’s launch and also its Notebook 9 laptop. The Windows laptop by Samsung has a colour scheme similar to that of Galaxy Note 9 smartphone and comes with a pop-out S Pen. The South Korean technology giant will also be seen showcasing televisions at CES 2019. Although there is no confirmation about the company has up its sleeve, it is expected to showcase devices with 8K and QLED. Usually, Samsung also has refrigerators and stoves at CES 2019, so we are expecting to see some of them too. While there are reports that claim that Samsung’s foldable phone will also make an appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show, we’ll have to wait to see how true is that.
While we aren’t sure about Samsung showcasing its foldable device at CES 2019, there are numerous reports that suggest that LG will give us the first look of its foldable phone at the tech show. But then again, we would have to wait a little more to see how credible these reports really are. However, even if we don’t get to see the foldable phone, we will get to see some televisions, display technologies and smart kitchen appliances from the consumer electronics maker. CES 2018 saw LG showcasing a prototype of its rollable TV so this year, we are keeping our fingers crossed to see its commercial version.
Google
CES 2018 saw Google make its debut at the technology event. And much like last year, the technology giant is expected to focus on Google Assistant and related products at CES 2019. It’s highly unlikely that Google will announce new hardware, but yes, we can expect to see some new services like Google Pay pop-up like they did last year.
2018 was the year of controversies for Huawei. The biggest controversy that surrounded the company is the one that alleges its ties with the Chinese government, which led to multiple countries banning Huawei’s networking equipment. Considering all of this, we don’t expect to see any smartphones from the company at CES 2019. However, it may launch some laptops and tablets. If we aren’t wrong, Huawei is likely to maintain a low-profile the tech event this year.
While we don’t expect to see any smartphones from Huawei at CES 2019, we do expect to see the recently unveiled Honor View 20. The device from Huawei’s sub-brand was launched in China recently and its global launch is scheduled for later part of January in Paris. But we are hoping that it makes an appearance at CES 2019 too.
Sony is one company which is mostly seen launching its new smartphones at the Consumer Electronics Show. And this year should be no different. Reports have suggested that Sony Xperia XA3 Plus will be launched at the show. And it is highly unlikely that it will be unveiled alone as Sony always launches an entire smartphone range together. We can also expect the company to showcase some televisions and display technologies this year. And needless to say, we are really looking forward to some audio products from the technology firm.
The Chinese consumer electronics brand usually focuses on its laptop lineup at CES, and we don’t really expect this year to be any different. A listing from Lenovo recently surfaced online and it mentioned Legion Y530 and Y7000P devices that come with NVIDIA GTX 1160. So there is a possibility of these two being showcased at CES 2019. We may also get to see some smart home products, but as of now, there is no other word on what Lenovo plans on doing.
While we don’t expect to see smartphones from BlackBerry at CES 2019, we do expect to see some of its automotive-based software, BlackBerry QNX. However, considering that the company never really gives up on making Android smartphones with physical keyboards, we wouldn’t be surprised if that pops-up at the event too.
When it comes to Taiwanese technology giant Asus, we expect to see some laptops and Chromebooks from the company at the event. Reports have suggested that the company will launch a Chromebook at CES 2019 that will be powered by Intel’s Gemini Lake series chip. A Chrome OS tablet is also expected to be showcased. What we are not expecting from Asus is a smartphone or a tablet, but we would like to be surprised.
Media reports suggest that HTC will only be focussing on HTC Vive this year at CES. So we can expect to see some gaming demonstrations and accessories at the tech show. Since HTC hasn’t had the best year in smartphones, chances of a mobile device being showcased are really slim.

PUBG Mobile update may add Zombies mode, Tuk-tuk among other things to the game soon
PUBG mobile is one of the most widely played games across the world in the present generation. Every day Tencent games, the creator of PUBG, gets 87 million gamers playing it world over. PUBG is the acronym for Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, which has made a prominent identity in the E-sports industry. No sooner has Tencent Games launched the Vikendi Map update that we are tipped about the availability of a new futures. It is the PUBG Mobile 0.10.5 update that would bring Zombies mode, Tuk-tuk vehicle among other things to life in the game.
If you are new to the game, in this game, players choose their own map in which they want to battle and are airdropped solo or in a group of two/four. Next, they collect a range of equipment that includes guns, backpacks, med-kits, and grenades. The players have to stay in a safe zone, breaching of which would be precarious to their game life. Once a player crosses the safe zone, they are trapped within the blue zone where enemies can target them and wipe them off within seconds or vice versa.
Their allies also might end up getting killed. To revive them they need to use a medikit. The 0.10.0 update which introduced the Vikendi map created latency issues leading to a lot of gamers complaining about it. However, Tencent Games has promised that they are going to resolve this problem soon. To recall, the Vikendi Map’s theme was based on Christmas, the home screen of the game is based on holiday lights. It also has a snowy background with an SUV standing there that has Christmas lights on it, too.

Samsung Galaxy M20 gets certified by FCC
Last month, the FCC published its certification documents for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy M10 smartphone that gave us an insight into some specifications of the device. And today, the regulatory body has done the same for another upcoming Samsung device – Galaxy M20.
We should mention that according to a report in IANS, Samsung is all set to launch its Galaxy M series smartphones this month. The same report also said that the global launch of the Galaxy M series devices will be held in India. This does make sense because according to prior reports, Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy M series to replace its Galaxy On series and Galaxy J series, both of which are extremely popular in India.
Coming back to Samsung Galaxy M20 smartphone, according to the listing on FCC, it will feature a 6.13-inch display that will come with a waterdrop-shaped notch on top, that is likely to house an 8MP selfie camera. Other than this, the smartphone will come with Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for connectivity and will pack a Li-Po battery EB-BG580ABN. Previous reports have claimed that Samsung Galaxy M20 will come with a 5,000mAh battery, but the FCC listing didn’t mention anything about the battery capacity. The listing does reveal that the dimensions of the smartphone will be 156.4×74.5×8.8mm.
It has also been reported that Samsung Galaxy M20 will come with 3GB of RAM clubbed with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage and will be available in Blue and Dark Grey colours. The listing on FCC also says that the smartphone will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7885 processor, however, we think that the company may opt to use the newer Exynos 7904 SoC instead. The device will run Android 8.1 Oreo and will sport a dual rear camera setup with 13MP and 5MP sensors.
Speaking of Samsung Galaxy M10, the FCC listing last month revealed that the device will have a 6.5-inch display and will run Android 8.1 Oreo too. It was reported that the smartphone will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7870 processor and pack 3GB of RAM clubbed with 16GB and 32GB internal storage. The battery capacity of the upcoming device was said to be 3,400mAh according to the FCC listing.

Is this the foldable tablet Xiaomi has been secretly working on?
Rumours are rife on the basis of a leak by tipster Evan Blass. In a 20-minute video clip, it has been shown that a user toys with a device that seems like a Xiaomi foldable tablet. Post this, the user folds back the screen on the right side, which converts the device into a smaller tablet and the UI quickly adapts, accordingly.
Next thing is that the device is folded from the left-hand side, turning it into a smartphone with curved edges on both sides. The OS switch’s the phone UI once again, and the interface is optimised according to the small screen. It seems after observing the video that the Xiaomi foldable tablet will provide a smooth user experience with each fold. It might also get Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor coupled with a lot of RAM and on-board storage. To be exact, it might get 10GB RAM to begin with and 256GB on board storage.
https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/1080870489990590464
It is also speculated that the Xiaomi foldable tablet will run Android 9.0 Pie skinned with the company’s MIUI 10 update. Since the video has been shot in the dark, nothing can be commented about the bezels as of yet because the exteriors are not visible. The reliability of this video cannot be ascertained as of now. However, since the trend of foldable tablets is on the loose with Xiaomi’s major competitors like OPPO and Huawei, the company is likely to launch this or a similar device in the near future.
If the Chinese tech giant launches this product, it will be interesting to see how it stands in comparison to that of its competitors. Recently there have also been leaks about Xiaomi’s about-to-launch Poco F2. The smartphone is reportedly said to have a higher screen-to-body ratio compared to the Poco F1. Also, it is said to run on Android 9.0 Pie and would be powered by the latest Snapdragon 845 CPU.
In the Geekbench listing, the smartphone scored 2,321 and 7,564 for its single and multi-core processor test. In terms of camera, the Xiaomi Poco F2 is said to have a vertically-placed dual rear camera setup. Contrastingly, Xiaomi the Poco F1 has a dual rear camera setup at the centre of the upper half of the back panel.

Xiaomi Mi A3 with Android One to launch this year: Report
Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi usually launches smartphones that run Android with its own custom skin MIUI on top. The only exceptions to this are the company’s Mi A1, Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite smartphones that Xiaomi ships with stock Android. The first generation of these devices was launched by Xiaomi in August 2017 and the other two models were unveiled later in July 2018. And now, reports about Xiaomi working on a new Android One smartphone have started surfacing online.
References about an unreleased Xiaomi smartphone with the codename ‘orchid_sprout’ within Android Pie-based MIUI 10 firmware was found by XDA Developers. For those unaware, this isn’t the first time that a smartphone with codename ending with ‘_sprout’ has surfaced online. Actually, most smartphones that fall under Google’s Android One programme come with the suffix in their codenames. Speaking about Xiaomi Mi A1, Mi A2, and Mi A2 Lite, they had ‘_sprout’ as the suffix of their codenames too.
To be more precise, the codenames of Xiaomi Mi A1, Mi A2, and Mi A2 Lite were ’tissot_sprout,’ ‘jasmine_sprout,’ and ‘daisy_sprout’ respectively. It is worth noticing that codenames of all the three smartphones were named after flowers. Considering this, the name ‘orchid_sprout’ can definitely be an Android One powered smartphone by Xiaomi. And if this is indeed true, then there is a good chance that it is Xiaomi Mi A3 smartphone that has been spotted online.
As of now, nothing is known about the upcoming smartphone’s specifications. However, it is being speculated that if the mobile phone is Xiaomi’s Mi A3, then it is very likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 675 processor. It has also been reported that the device will come with support for NFC – which will be a first for the company’s Mi lineup.
It has also been said that the smartphone will not be announced till June this year. However, if the Chinese smartphone brand continues with its development plan, the upcoming handset may also be known as Xiaomi Mi 7X. And if this happens, then we can expect to see the smartphone getting launched by April.

Poco F2 renders are out, reveals waterdrop notch
The Xiaomi Poco F2 renders have come out online. And one main aspect of the phone that has come to light in all its glory is the waterdrop notch. Unlike its predecessor, Poco F1 which has a traditional notch, this one would differ. Tipster Benjamin Geskin posted a render of the Poco F2, which shows the same thing. Quite a number of Xiaomi phones are being publicised ahead of their launch and Poco F2 is no different. Take for example the Redmi 7 Pro. It was recently spotted in TENAA with a waterdrop-style display notch.
The Xiaomi Poco F2 will reportedly offer a higher screen-to-body ratio compared to the Poco F1. Also, in contrast to the Poco F1, it will have a vertically-placed dual rear camera setup. In this regard, the Poco F1 has a dual rear camera setup at the centre of the upper half of the back panel.
The concept render of the Poco F2 shows that it would have a fingerprint sensor at the back near where the Poco branding is situated. Recently, there also has been a listing of the same phone in Geekbench where it was tipped to have a 6GB RAM running on Android 9.0 Pie. It is also expected that the smartphone will come with the latest Snapdragon 845 SoC. In the Geekbench listing, the Poco F2 has scored 2,321 and 7,564 in single and multi-core tests. Seems like the Poco F1 will be replaced by Poco F2 very soon.
However, Poco General Manager C Manmohan wrote on Twitter that the company is still focusing on providing authentic experience with the Poco F1. To recall, the Xiaomi Poco F1 has IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen of 6.18-inches. The screen resolution is 1,080×2,246 and the aspect ratio for the same is 18.7:9. There are two RAM variants available of this device—6GB and 8GB. The 8GB variant comes with an internal storage of 256GB.
The 6GB RAM has two storage variants, that is 64GB and 128GB. A microSD card slot can expand the storage by up to 256GB. The main camera comprises of a 12MP and 5MP sensor whereas the selfie camera has a single sensor of 20MP. Connectivity options include WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, DLNA, hotspot, Bluetooth 5.0, FM Radio, GPS and USB 2.0.

LG’s upcoming smartwatch will let you click photos
South Korean consumer electronics giant LG launched its first smartwatch – LG Watch W7 – in October 2018. We wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t recall it, as the device did not manage to create much stir. However, that hasn’t deterred LG at all, as the company is already working on setting a new trend with its upcoming smartwatch. Don’t believe us? But what if we tell you that the electronics maker is adding a camera to its next smartwatch? Yes, that’s really happening.
LG, along with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), has published a patent for a ‘smartwatch and method for controlling same’. It is worth noticing that this patent was filed on January 15, 2016, and it was published by the company on December 20, 2018. The upcoming Android smartwatch will have a camera on its straps, according to the patent published by LG.
Other methods of adding the camera to the smartwatch have also been spoken about in the patent so that users can take pictures from their wearable. One such method is to let the watch band slide into the watch case in order to allow the camera of the smartwatch to slide on the watch case. Other than this, the camera may be made to move on the band of the smartwatch.
The camera may also be clipped on to the band of the smartwatch – so users will be able to clip and unclip it anywhere they want to on the smartwatch as the watch band would come with sensors all over its surface. This would also let customers use all the functions of the camera.
That’s not all. LG’s patent also says that the smartwatch will have a crown on the side and come with a touchscreen that would let users click images using the camera and perform certain other tasks.
The camera of the smartwatch is also said to help in keeping a track of the calorie intake, scan barcodes and QR codes and make payments on e-commerce websites.
Besides this, the upcoming smartwatch from LG will house a fingerprint scanner and come with a number of other sensors like proximity sensor, a gyroscope, a motion sensor, an RGB sensor, an infrared sensor, an optical sensor, an environment sensor, and a biometric sensor. It has also been reported that the device will come with environmental and health-related features.
