More and more devices are ditching rear mounted fingerprint scanners and opting for in-display readers. Apple looks like it may be hopping onto the bandwagon soon with the iPhone XI but it will be a little more interesting than other device’s fingerprint readers. The new technology is called “acoustic imaging”.

We’ve all been raving about the Huawei P30 Pro’s camera capabilities from Night shot to the 50x zoom but how well does the selfie camera fare? DxOMark, a company that tests out camera capabilities extensively, the device fares pretty decently, scoring a score of 89 with 90 points in photo and 88 in video.

2019 may be the year of change for Apple. Apple’s infamous lightning cable for the 2019 iPhones may be replaced with the USB-C just like the latest iPad Pro. Big wow, amirite? It may be a move by Apple to slowly expand their ecosystem to be more inclusive which is definitely a welcome move.
