Apple’s new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max were just released a couple of weeks ago, so isn’t it far too soon to be talking about next year’s iPhone 12? Well, if you’re really asking yourself that question then you don’t know anything at all about how the rumor mill works. Apple obviously starts working with its supply chain partners on future iPhone models more than a year before they’re finally released. And if Apple is working on something with its supply chain partners, then you can bet that the world’s top Apple insider knows about it.

TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo always starts leaking information about Apple’s next-generation iPhone models about a year before they see the light of day, and that’s exactly what happened recently with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series. What about the “iPhone 11s,” you ask? Well, it appears as though Apple is using the same strategy now that it used with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. Since the 7 was something of a minor upgrade in terms of design, Apple skipped straight to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X the following year. Since the iPhone 11 is basically an iPhone XSS, It appears as though Apple is planning to jump straight to the iPhone 12 series next year and give us a major design overhaul for 2020.

No matter how much it hurts Android fans to hear it, Google has been copying the iPhone ever since the first Pixel came out, and the Pixel 4 does it also. And yes, Apple has taking stuff from Google too, but things are far from being even. Up until now, we thought that Google only adapted one iPhone feature for the Pixel 4 series — and Android. That’s 3D face recognition, something that hasn’t been done on phones before the iPhone X. It took two years for Google to pull 3D face recognition off, and Google is one of the few companies that tried to replicate Face ID — Xiaomi, Huawei, and LG did it with a few of their devices too. It turns out there’s one other tiny thing the Pixel 4 swipes from iOS, and that’s an app that’s been on iPhones for years. However, Google’s version of the app will be a lot better.

Huawei didn’t mince words during the Mate 30 Pro event a few days ago when it came to talking about the Android OS the new phones will run. The company explained it can use any of Google’s apps because of the ban. Huawei further announced that its own Google Play store alternative will operate on these devices, and revealed it’s ready to invest some $1 billion to make that ecosystem a viable alternative to Google’s. That sounds great in theory, but in practice, any Mate 30 Pro buyer from the US (if you can get it) and Europe wants Google apps preinstalled, particularly the Play store, Google Maps, and YouTube. Soon after the Mate 30 event, it was discovered that you only need 10 minutes to install all the Google Android apps you love, and turn the Mate 30 Pro into the flagship it should have been without the ban. But that avenue is no longer available to buyers, as a security researcher figured out how the whole thing works, concluding that the workaround might also be a security issue.

Career setbacks can be a real bummer no matter what your profession. For scientists, proposals that fail to gain funding and research efforts that hit dead ends can force them to shelve years of hard work. It’s these failures, and the future careers of scientists that endure them, that is at the heart of a new research paper published in Nature Communications.

For the study, researchers looked at the records of scientists who had applied for research grants from the National Institute of Health over a 15-year period from 1990 through 2005. What they found was that, contrary to what we might think, huge setbacks early in one’s career doesn’t necessarily hinder long-term aspirations, and in some cases, it appears to actually increase the chances of future success.

NASA’s InSight lander has experienced its fair share of hardship since landing on the Red Planet late in 2018. In the months since it touched down on Mars, it’s gotten more attention for getting its drilling instrument stuck in the surface than it has for actually conducting science.

Despite its setbacks, the high-tech lander has been working hard and listening closely for rumblings within the planet. As NASA explains in an update, InSight’s mission of detecting quakes is going rather well, with over 100 quake candidates and nearly two dozen events that the science team firmly believes are indeed marsquakes.

Microsoft has been developing a Windows device featuring two displays for quite some time, with reports saying earlier this summer that the gadget, code-named Centaurus, was shown to Microsoft employees during an all-hands internal meeting. We then learned the dual-screen device might launch in the second half of 2020, complete with support for Android apps as well as iCloud support.

More recently, we saw a brand new technology that Microsoft is testing for foldable and dual-screen devices — a liquid hinge tech that could be sold to other companies for their own foldable creations. All of that brings us to Microsoft’s Surface event on Wednesday, where Microsoft might unveil the Centaurus.
