Here are two new features coming to Google Photos:
1) Photo Stacks: Google Photos will now automatically identify and group similar photos that were taken close together into a Photo Stack and select the top pick that best captures that moment. You'll have the option to select your own top pick, modify stacks, or turn off Photo Stacks entirely.
2) Better screenshot and document organization: Google Photos will now better identify and automatically categorize screenshots and documents into more helpful albums like IDs, receipts, and event information. Also, Photos will automatically identify things like dates in screenshots so you can quickly add a reminder in your calendar.

WTF, Both are exactly same smartphones
Xiaomi is back with the Redmi Note 13R Pro, proving that when it comes to innovation, they've hit the copy-paste jackpot. Same specs as the Redmi Note 13 5G from September, but with a cheeky name change & different back panel
The Three R's for Xiaomi basically means — Recycle, Repackage, Repeat
Recycle specs for that eco-friendly touch. Repackage with a fresh coat of paint because who needs new features? And Repeat, their signature move – launching the same phone with a different name, , hoping no one catches the déjà vu.
Also, the Pro in Xiaomi smartphone stands for 'Promoting Recycling'!
XIAOMI= The KING of GARBAGE in Smartphone Industry

Why Apple Watches are not compatible with Android smartphones
Source
Once upon a time, Apple put its engineers deeply engaged to make the Watch & Health app compatible with the billions of Android devices
This was codenamed Project Fennel and “would have brought the company’s health features & its benefits that Apple underlines to many more people"
The work was "nearly complete" as well.
But in the end, Apple canceled Project Fennel because the Apple Watch is a driver of iPhone sales.
“If you gave up the watch to Android, you would dilute the value of the watch to the iPhone,”
So, Apple reminded itself that it is Apple and business matters most to them than people's lives & health and ironically after losing Masimo's patent battle, Apple argued "Masimo has wrongly attempted to use the ITC to keep a potentially lifesaving product from millions of U.S. consumers"
Anyways, in 2024 Apple Watch could get a new sensor to help detect elevated blood pressure & sleep apnea detection.

#RCS
RCS is coming to iPhones later this year
In a statement to 9To5Mac, an Apple spokesperson has announced that later next year iPhones will receive RCS support with an OTA update.
Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association. We believe RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS. This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users.
RCS (Rich Communication Standard) is a texting standard which brings many features present on iMessage to other devices, like read receipts, typing status, reactions or high quality media.
Apple's implementation of RCS will also give users the ability to share the location with other people.
This does not mean that iMessage is opening up to other platforms, as RCS and iMessage will work separately.

FunFact: Apple announced RCS coming to iPhones just a day before Carl Pei will roll out Nothing Chats that can iMessage from an Android phone.
Anyway, I think that Apple knew that, in the future, EU could force Apple to support RCS if it cannot force it to open iMessage since it is a proprietary tech
Also, this does NOT mean that Apple will change the green color in the USA to end blue bubble v/s green bubble nonsense. It could still continue as usual
It can also be that Apple announced the RCS support for iPhones this early as its coming in 2024 just to PISS OFF Carl Pei Lmfao
Carl Pei seems to have very bad announcement timing for his Nothing Chats 😂

CPU: manufactured by TSMC on its 4nm process
• 1x Cortex-A715 @ 2.63GHz
• 3x performance cores @ 2.4 GHz
• 4x efficiency cores @ 1.8GHz
GPU: Adeno 720
Modem: X63 5G
Display: 4K at 60Hz & FHD+ at 168Hz
Spectra ISP can handle 4K HDR video at 60Hz & 200MP main camera
AI Remosaic captures sharp, higher-resolution photos, eliminating discoloration & graininess
Compared to Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, it offers
• 15% improvement in CPU performance
• 50% faster Adreno GPU
• 60% faster AI
If you notice clearly, Qualcomm did NOT compare it with Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 because the 7 Gen 3 is "inferior" to it.
That's because:
• Snapdragon 7s series focuses on energy efficiency
• Standard Snapdragon 7 series focuses on experience
• Snapdragon 7+ focuses on performance
Vivo V30 and Honor 100 to be the first devices to equip Snapdragon 7 Gen 3
MediaTek Dimensity 8300 will be MORE Powerful than Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and its launching on 21st November

Stop pretending Nothing Chats had anything to do with RCS on the iPhone
Apple announced RCS support coming to iPhones just 2 days after Nothing announced an iMessage app through Sunbird which is a very sussy client
After the announcement, Nothing brand quickly came out to take the credits
Carl Pei tweeted a Steve Jobs quote implying that Nothing pushed Apple along.
Nothing's Co-Founder said "Haters gonna say it's not because of Nothing "
Honestly, Apple likely didn’t even think twice (or at all) about “Nothing Chats.”
Big decisions aren't taken in just 2 days
Actually, the EU’s deadline for appeal for Apple to avoid “gatekeeper” status for iMessage in the DMA was 16th November, which is likely why Apple announced on that day
It is such a CREEP move by Nothing to take credits for something that Google has been doing for months by advertising on billboards/iPager & even complaining to EU
Nothing brand is just like the next Xiaomi after seeing their fake hype & cringe moves

Nothing Chats is a Privacy Nightmare
Nothing Chats features Apple's iMessage based on Sunbird's tech.
Apple ID is required to use iMessage which gets signed into a Mac Mini on a remote server
Nothing says, that Apple ID is then tokenized in an encrypted database & then Apple ID data is destroyed, ensuring Apple ID security
It’s also end-to-end encrypted & Sunbird is ISO 27001-certified too
In reality, encryption & privacy are just pure LIES by Nothing as its extremely insecure
Nothing Chats is NOT even using HTTPS & credentials are sent over plaintext HTTP
Nothing said: "While the protocol is HTTP, all data is encrypted & the encryption key is provided via HTTPS, so Apple credentials sent via HTTP are secure & not open to public."
However, they did NOT mention any reason for not using HTTPS protocol
Digging further revealed, Nothing Chats stores ALL incoming texts/media unencrypted on Firebase
Also, ALL outgoing texts are being "leaked" to a sentry server that too in plaintext

Sunbird can access every iMessage in Nothing Chats
After finding that Nothing Chats is NOT even using HTTPS & credentials are sent over plaintext HTTP, Nothing responded:
"While the protocol is HTTP, all data is encrypted & the encryption key is provided via HTTPS, so Apple credentials sent via HTTP are secure & not open to the public."
But, when a message is sent using Nothing Chats, it is sent to Sunbird’s Sentry (a debugging platform) with links visible in plain text.
Further, “all” data is sent & stored through Firebase and is completely unencrypted too
This means employees at Sunbird can view them from their Sentry dashboard.
So Sunbird is abusing Sentry by logging real messages, pretending they are errors.
Also, you can even list ALL the media ever sent on Sunbird.
After counting, there are more than 637,780 media stored by Sunbird including videos, photos, audio & vCards etc
Another issue is with the file names as ALL files are stored with the original names

Open-source app that can show every message sent using Nothing Chats
Since Sunbird stores messages & attachments in Firebase without any encryption, someone asked "ChatGPT" to do a web page where you can log in with your Nothing Chats credentials & get clear text messages they store in Google's Firebase printed.
To demonstrate this, a guy sent a message from his real iPhone using iMessage to an account linked with ‘Nothing Chats’.
The app showed all the messages even the ones sent from iPhone
Surprisingly, the repository contains NO decryption methods as well & Nothing claims that all messages are end-to-end encrypted
Although, Nothing just designed the app & the backend is all Sunbird, it was Carl Pei's responsibility to first verify the app
He just hyped about the iMessage possibility using Nothing Phone 2 & everything about privacy & encryption was a LIE
This is probably the biggest "privacy nightmare" seen by a phone manufacturer

RIP Nothing Chats
Many people found out about FAKE Privacy and end-to-end encryption Carl Pei was offering through his Nothing Chats to offer iMessage capability after asking user's Apple ID
Now, Nothing has removed the app from PlayStore & surprisingly, the app was even in BETA state LOL
Nothing is still continuing to work with Sunbird to fix the "bugs" & the launch has been delayed indefinitely
So, Acc. to Nothing: Fake end to end encryption, public data exposure, lack of HTTPS protocol are classified as “bugs".
Nothing Chats WILL BE remembered for the biggest "privacy nightmare" by any OEM
Remember the date: 17/11/23 ~ 18/11/23
