Just recently, one of the popular YouTube pioneers, Wong Fu Productions just released a video entitled "Just Another Day" and although it's their usual slice of life genre (so-good). In fact, it really amazed me that it was shot with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. This also brought up another question - will smartphones be able to take over those rocket-ish cameras in filmmaking? Well, that's a tough question. 

It isn't a feature you're going to need unless you really need it, but water resistance turns out to be the main feature that saved a woman and her friends in an accident at sea near Japan. Reported by the TODAYShow and retweeted by Tim Cook, Rachel Neal and friends were knocked overboard near Okinawa Beach, Japan and lost their way at sea. She made an emergency SOS call with her iPhone, after which she and her friends were rescued.

Apple is quite notorious on their battery and RAM reveal whenever there is a new device released every year annually, but now that we know the real figures, some folks from Tomsguide.com decided to run a battery test on the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Apple are rather infamous for not revealing the RAM or Battery tech specs for their devices. Instead we find out from sites like Forbes and GSMArena that that the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have 4GB RAM while the iPhone XR will have 3GB of RAM. All of them will utilize Apple’s new 7nm A12 Bionic Chipset with Neural Engine for more AI (Artificial Intelligence) driven features along with dual SIM (nano + eSIM) connectivity.
