Apple September Event: iPhone XS?

Source: Ars Technica 


Writing after a very long time from a different workstation at a different company. (Yes, I left that company and yes, i'm writing while i'm at work. *First of all I deserve a break and second of all Shhhhhhhhhhh!!!*) Decided to write this as soon as I heard that the Apple has released the official invite for their September Event which as you all know it's their hardware event. (BTW the event is on 12th September at 10 AM PDT) Basically many parties have predicted that they'll be releasing a new Apple Watch, iPhone, high end Mac Mini, and a low budget MacBook Pro. But in this post i'll just stick to the iPhone.

WTH happened to iPhoneX

So the Apple iPhoneX, which was released last year didn't meet their sales expectations mainly due to the price tag. As a result, Apple decided to launch low price editions of the devices (Thanks to China) due to this reason and hence now we enjoying the 9.7-inch iPad. So yes, as you guessed, it is rumoured that we are getting a low budget iPhone this time. Yeiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Let's meet the new iPhones

YES!!!! It is rumoured by so many sources that they are going to release 3 models this year. A 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch with OLED displays and a 6.1-inch one with a TFT-LCD display. (the one in the middle and yes, this will be the cheapest iPhone). So without much jibber-jabber let's just go to the specs, shall we?

This is pretty straightforward since the picture talks for itself. But in regards to color, we are hoping to get Gold color this year. (Last year Apple couldn't deliver a gold color iPhoneX due to some manufacturing issues) And like in iPhone 5C we are expecting to get bunch of fancy colors for the 6.1 inch iPhone this time.

Today, Apple has leaked their new iPhone preview confirming that they are releasing gold color this year. (Someones definitely getting fired for that) Take a look below,

These iPhones are rumoured to be named as "iPhone XS" , "iPhoneXS+" (yes, the whole 'S' drama is gonna be back) and the low budget iPhone will be named as "iPhone 9". 

Finally, we just have less than 2 weeks to see these devices including so many other new Apple products in action. Let's just hope that we might not have to sell our kidneys this time...

App Localization: The Sri Lankan Way

I cannot believe the fact that the last blog post that I have written was in 2018. So I decided to start writing again, while working in a new work place, Yeah.. Yes! I had to move out from the "bank" and this post that I am writing is something that I did while I was at the "bank". So I got the opportunity to develop a mobile application for both Android and iOS for Sri Lankans where it should have the feature of changing the language of the application. Basically an option to switch the app's language between Sinhala, Tamil & English. At first, I was like "Alright!! Not a big deal. I'll do it." Then came the tricky part. they say they need to switch the language from with in, Basically, app's language cannot have a dependency on the device's region. So this is something that apps like "Pick Me" has done. UX POV this is a quite reasonable functionality when we develop apps for countries like Sri Lanka, where the devi...

Android: Unique ID Dilemma

Source: Device ID Despite the fact that I couldn't write anything in the last couple of months due to heavy workload with asshole of teams I decided to write again since I have faced pretty interesting issues over the months. One of that is a Salesforce related issue in Android (Another pretty good story that i'm not suppose to tell *wink*) where I have to come up with a solution which doesn't impact the live version, and during the approach I had to come up with a way where I have to create a unique identifier to identify each device. So in here I'll briefly explain the things I found during that journey. What are our options? If we ask this from most of the developers they might reply saying that we can use Android ID (AKA Android Hardware ID) for this and that's fine, I thought the same thing in the very beginning but I was wrong. So in here I'll explain what are our options, What is the key, what are the pros and cons (The usual sh...
