Update Macbook Pro Firmware

2019 Macbook Pro Firmware Update

Macbook Pro Smc Firmware Update 1.7

Apple has released a new firmware update for its AirPods Max, one that fixes battery issues experienced by a few owners. The new update name is 3C39 and replaces 3C16, which was the firmware number when AirPods Max was first launched. Here’s an unusual update. Apple has released macOS 11.2.2 Big Sur, saying that the update prevents MacBook Pro models from 2019 and later and MacBook Air models from 2020 and later from being damaged by “certain third-party, non-compliant, powered USB-C hubs and docks.” Apple lists no other changes, even security fixes. By default, 13-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro models are configured with 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of SSD storage. Via custom configuration, some models also can, or could, be equipped with as much as 768 GB or 1 TB of SSD storage at the time of purchase. Additionally, Apple’s latest AirPods firmware update adds the automatic switching feature to your second-gen AirPods and AirPods Pro. We’ll get into both of these below, but for now, here’s.

The MacBook Pro 'Core 2 Duo' 2.4 13-Inch (Mid-2010) features a 45 nm 'Penryn' 2.4 GHz Intel 'Core 2 Duo' processor (P8600), with two independent processor 'cores' on a single silicon chip, a 3 MB shared 'on chip' level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz frontside bus, 4 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) installed in pairs (two 2 GB modules), a 250 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive, an 8X DL 'SuperDrive', a NVIDIA GeForce 320M 'graphics processor with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory', integrated iSight, and an LED-backlit 13.3' widescreen TFT active-matrix 'glossy' display (1280x800 native resolution). Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire '800' port, two USB 2.0 ports, the same 'combined optical digital output/headphone out (user-selectable analog audio line in)' port used by the iPhone, a 'Mini DisplayPort' that supports an external display at 2560x1600 (it also passes an audio signal), and an SD card slot. This model uses a 'Unibody' aluminum case design -- milled from a single piece of aluminum -- and has a backlit keyboard, a new 'no button' glass 'inertial' multi-touch trackpad, and a non-swappable battery design that provides up to 10 hours of battery life. Compared to its predecessor, this model has a very similar external enclosure, but an enhanced trackpad, and the same connectivity, except for the enhanced audio passing Mini DisplayPort. Internally, it has a similar architecture as well (with the same bus speed and memory), but has improved graphics and battery life. Also see:

How do you upgrade or replace the storage in the 13-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro models? Is it the same storage and process as the 15-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro? Is it possible?

By default, 13-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro models are configured with 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of SSD storage. Via custom configuration, some models also can, or could, be equipped with as much as 768 GB or 1 TB of SSD storage at the time of purchase.

Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage after purchase. However, as firstreportedby site sponsor Other World Computing, the SSD is installed as a removable module in all of these systems and is fairly straightforward to upgrade.

However, different lines use different proprietary SSD modules and it is important to identify both the MacBook Pro and the SSD module correctly.

Identification Help

If you're not sure whether or not you have a 13-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro or another model, notebooks with different SSDs share the A1425 and A1502Model Numbers.

As a result, the easiest way to identify them uniquely enough for the purpose of determining the correct SSD type is either by external EMC Number or by the Model Identifier in software.

As always, EveryMac.com has carefully hand documented these details for your convenience:

Upgrade Obstacles & Compatible SSD Details

Apple does not intend for end users to upgrade the SSD in these models themselves, the company even has used uncommon 'pentalobe' screws -- also called five-point Torx screws -- to discourage access. Typora mac. However, access is straightforward with the correct screwdriver, the SSD is simple to access, and upgrades are not blocked in firmware, either. There are two significantly different SSD designs for these models, though.

There is one 6 Gb/s SATA-based SSD for the 'Late 2012' and 'Early 2013' 13-Inch Retina MacBook Pro models. Unlike the 15-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro, the SSD in the 'Late 2012' and 'Early 2013' models is mounted in a small 'drive caddy' that can hold a 5 mm or 7 mm tall SSD (or hard drive), in lieu of the small proprietary SSD module that Apple uses.

Powered by the WebKit engine, Safari offers leading performance, compatibility, and a great set of built-in web development tools. Download Safari Technology Preview. Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu; Apple; Shopping Bag +. Safari 12 download for mac. Safari for Mac has a condensed and minimalistic interface that offers mac users faster, private browsing with fewer interruptions and extended battery life. When you download Safari for Mac you will get enhanced protection against invasive malicious software and customizable private browsing options to protect your information.

The proprietary PCIe 2.0-based SSD in the 'Late 2013' and subsequent models is limited to a smaller 'blade' option, though. By default, the 'Late 2013' and 'Mid-2014' models negotiate a x2 PCIe connection, but in testing, OWC discovered that when a 'blade' SSD from a Cylinder Mac Pro was installed in a 'Late 2013' or 'Mid-2014' model, it 'negotiates a x4 PCIe connection versus the stock cards, which negotiate a x2 PCIe connection,' which means that this newly transplanted SSD was substantially faster than the stock one. The 'Early 2015' models support a x4 PCIe connection by default.

Upgrade Instructions

The bottom panel of the 13-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro is attached with ten screws of differing lengths. After removing the bottom of the notebook, the battery removal process is fairly involved -- with four more screws to unscrew before disconnecting the battery -- but the drive caddy itself is easy to remove.

OWC provides excellent videos to walk one through the entire procedure for all of the 13-Inch 'Retina Display' MacBook Pro models:

'Late 2012' and 'Early 2013' 13-Inch MacBook Pro

'Late 2013', 'Mid-2014' & 'Mid-2015' 13-Inch MacBook Pro

How to Repurpose Original SSD in External Housing

This video explains how to install the original SSD from your 13-Inch MacBook Pro in OWC's convenient 'Envoy Pro' case to repurpose it as an external drive:

By watching these videos, you should be able to determine if you feel comfortable performing this upgrade yourself or if you would instead prefer to hire a professional.

SSD Purchase Options

The 2022 Kia Carnival blends minivan functionality with SUV style

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/the-2022-kia-carnival-blends-minivan-functionality-with-suv-style/

The 2022 Kia Carnival blends minivan functionality with SUV style

Spacious and flexible, approachable and safe — the minivan is a marvel of suburban utility. The problem is that most people don’t actually want to be seen driving one, so many shoppers skew toward cooler-looking SUVs. To combat this, the major players in the class have pushed minivan design in a direction that’s perhaps best described as “sci-fi bullet train” with mixed results.

Kia’s solution to the problem of uncool perception is to dress its new 2022 Carnival “multipurpose vehicle” in SUV cosplay. The result is a minivan that boasts all of the advantages and amenities of its classmates, while standing aesthetically apart with sport utility style.

The Carnival wears an upright, boxy design with a front end shaped more like Kia’s Telluride than the Sedona it replaces. Details like the L-shaped, chrome C-pillars break up the minivan’s profile and, along with the sculpted wheel arches and dark lower sills, help pull the eye upward to create the appearance of a taller, more rugged ride. At first glance, the Carnival looks almost exactly like a full-size SUV from most angles, but then you notice the reversed handles and tracks for the sliding doors and, suddenly, the minivan-ness of the silhouette becomes apparent.

The Carnival is the first Kia to wear what I’ve taken to calling the brand’s new “K-backwards-N” logo.

VIP seating

The Carnival’s power sliding doors open to reveal a spacious interior that’s available in seven- or eight-passenger configurations. The standard eight-seat setup features a 40/20/40-split second-row bench with a center section that can fold over to create a table-like armrest for the outboard seats. The bench can also slide far enough forward allowing front seat passengers to easily reach a car seat. The second row can also be completely removed when you need to access the Carnival’s maximum 145.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

Upgrade from the base LX to an EX or SX model and the cloth upholstery is replaced with artificial leather. Step up to the top spec SX Prestige for real leather trim and a pair of power-adjustable VIP seats in place of the second-row bench. These luxurious buckets automatically recline or return upright at the touch of a button, and they feature heated and cooled surfaces and can even deploy footrests for maximum relaxation. The Prestige setup elevates the Carnival from a nicely appointed family hauler to a fairly luxurious shuttle with more passenger space, more cargo capacity and easier entry than a taller SUV can offer. With the third row folded flat, I can slide the VIP seats far enough back for a full recline and leg extension, even with the front seats in a comfortable driving position. Try doing that in an Escalade.

Kia’s minivan isn’t the only one to offer reclining captain’s chairs, but these are a touch more luxe than most.

Antuan Goodwin/Roadshow

The seven-seat SX Prestige isn’t without its compromises, however. The nonremovable VIP seats mean this trim maxes out at 86.9 cubes of cargo capacity behind the second row, and getting to the third row is more of a squeeze.

Speaking of that standard third row, there’s plenty of legroom back there for two average-size adults, and enough shoulder space for three kids. Pulling a strap quickly folds the 60/40 split bench flat into the Carnival’s floor and a single pull lifts it back up, leaving a still-impressive 40.2 cubic feet for cargo.

On the options list, you’ll find Kia’s smart power tailgate, which automatically opens the hatch when you approach the rear of the vehicle with the key in your pocket. I usually find this feature extremely annoying, but Kia must have improved its detection logic from earlier applications. I experienced almost no false-positive accidental openings during my testing, and the tailgate now automatically closes when you walk away, making loading groceries or other cargo a truly hands-free process.

Backseat tech

The Carnival can be outfitted with a dual-screen rear seat entertainment setup. Each features USB and HDMI inputs that can be shared with the other display. Each can connect to a phone or Wi-Fi hotspot to power apps like Netflix or mirror a smartphone’s display. There’s also a colorful Kid Mode interface that serves up child-friendly content. Bluetooth connectivity allows users to listen using almost any headphones they already own, rather than relying on low-quality pack-ins.

The Passenger Camera and Passenger Talk features help the driver to watch and communicate with occupants in the second and third rows.

Antuan Goodwin/Roadshow

An optional wide-angle Passenger Camera on the Carnival’s ceiling displays a bird’s-eye view of second and third rows on the multimedia screen, complete with night vision. This upgrade works well in tandem with the Passenger Talk feature that amplifies the driver’s voice over the Carnival’s speakers, so they don’t have to shout to speak to folks in the third row.

When equipped with the optional Passenger Voice Recognition tech, second-row passengers can also issue commands to the dashboard UVO system. This is helpful for getting destination suggestions from adults in the VIP seats, but is also defeatable when you need to keep a van full of children from requesting Baby Shark for the fifty-leventh time.

Front seat tech

Up front, Kia’s latest-generation UVO infotainment lives in the dashboard. An 8-inch display is standard, but EX, SX and SX Prestige models all upgrade to a 12.3-inch display. Either way, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity are also standard with USB — but not wireless — connectivity. UVO packs its intuitive interface with unique features like voice memo recording, Sounds of Nature (like calm waves, a forest or bustling cafe) and a quiet mode that limits media volume and disables the rear speakers — useful for when kids are dozing in the back.

The customizable star shortcut button on the dashboard — a small feature that you’ll find on Kia’s other UVO systems — is joined by a second customizable button on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to map features like the Passenger Camera or Passenger Talk to a single press.

There are up to nine USB ports (seven are standard) for charging mobile devices spread across the Carnival’s three rows.

Antuan Goodwin/Roadshow

LX, EX and SX trims all feature traditional physical gauges and a small 4.3-inch information display. The SX Prestige upgrades to a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster with four user-selectable themes, including a dynamic setting that changes along with the time of day. The digital cluster also integrates Kia’s Blind Spot View feature, displaying a camera feed of the adjacent lane when the corresponding turn signal is activated.

DriveWise safety suite

Kia’s DriveWise advanced driver-assistance system suite is standard on all Carnival models. That gets you front, rear and lane-change collision detection, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and a rear camera. DriveWise also rolls in driver attention monitoring and a sonar-based rear occupant alert that prevents accidentally leaving a child or pet in the parked vehicle.

The EX trim adds park distance warnings, enhanced collision avoidance that can also detect cyclists and Highway Driving Assistant, Kia’s umbrella technology that rolls in navigation-based adaptive cruise control that works in stop-and-go traffic and enhanced lane-keeping steering assist. Upgrading to SX brings a surround view camera system online. Finally, the full-fat SX Prestige completes the safety suite with the aforementioned blind-spot camera tech.

2022 Kia Carnival SX Prestige is an SUV-styled MPV for VIPs

Performance and efficiency

The only powertrain offered in the 2022 Carnival is a 3.5-liter V6 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Despite looking like an SUV, all-wheel drive is not an option. On the bright side, 290 horsepower imbues the Carny with pretty good hustle for a minivan, and the 262 pound-feet of torque is enough twist to tow up to a 3,500-pound trailer.

Handling is soft, but comfortable. The Carnival isn’t the most graceful dancer on a twisty road, but the minivan manages to stay off of its own toes well enough that it feels safe. The steering is responsive, but body roll and understeer are noticeable at speed. This is, of course, fine. Despite Toyota’s marketing for the new Sienna, I don’t think that anyone shopping for a minivan is looking for “sport-tuned handling.” More importantly, the Carnival does a great job absorbing bumps with poise and communicating its limits to the driver well and early enough to stay out of trouble.

The EPA estimates 19 miles per gallon city, 26 mpg highway or 22 mpg combined from the 2022 Carnival. That’s on par with other front-drive, V6-powered minivans in this class. The various drive modes — Normal, Eco, Smart and Sport — will have some effect on the Kia’s performance and efficiency balance, but over the course of three days, testing both the SX and SX Prestige trim levels in a variety of situations, my average of 21.7 mpg was almost spot-on with those estimates.

Kia’s betting that the Carnival will find a home in the gray area between minivans and SUVs.

Antuan Goodwin/Roadshow

Pricing and competition

The 2022 Kia Carnival starts at $33,275 (including its $1,175 destination charge) for the base LX model and tops out at $47,275 for the fully loaded SX Prestige. Add $200 for floor mats and $495 for the premium Astra Blue paint to reach an as-tested price of $47,970. I only ever want to be picked up from the airport in a Carny with VIP seating from now on, but for families looking to maximize space for people and cargo, the sweet spot is the eight-passenger SX model starting at $42,275.

The Carnival is priced and appointed competitively against the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. However, Chrysler and Toyota offer all-wheel drive, hybrid and plug-in hybrid configurations that raise the price ceiling but also bring significant performance and fuel economy advantages. Also consider that the Carnival’s sport-utility style has the potential to tempt a few families on the fence away from a new SUV purchase, so one could make the case for it being an indirect competitor to something like Kia’s own Telluride as well.

Kia can call it an MPV and style it like an SUV, but what matters is that the Carnival is a damn good minivan. Kia’s designers have pulled off this stylistic double-take with aplomb. With the 2022 Carnival arriving in dealerships now, the automaker can only hope that shoppers think it’s as cool as I do.

The UniFi Dream Machine router is a great entry point for networking nerds – MoreTechTips

Just a few weeks in the past, Ubiquiti unveiled the UniFi Dream Machine, an all-in-one networking gadget that for $299 combines a router, a change with 4 Ethernet ports and a Wi-Fi entry point. It has what Ubiquiti calls an built-in cloud key that allows you to management your community.

I’ve been utilizing the UniFi Dream Machine on my house community for the previous couple of weeks, so contemplate this a evaluate of the gadget.

Ubiquiti is a well-known networking model. Most individuals are acquainted with the corporate’s entry factors — these rounded antennas that you will discover round faculties, corporations and public areas.

But the upfront funding has all the time been a bit steep for private use instances and even small corporations. The UniFi Dream Machine sits completely in between skilled gear and shopper gadgets. It represents a enormous improve in the event you’re utilizing the router with Wi-Fi capabilities supplied by your web service supplier.

Rebundling UniFi gadgets

Ubiquiti has a vary of routers beneath the AmpliFi model for shoppers who’re wanting for a plug-and-play resolution. The firm just lately introduced a new gadget with great specs in the event you don’t need to fiddle with networking settings.

But in the event you’re studying this, chances are high that UniFi merchandise provide some customizations that you just assume are missing in shopper merchandise.

Switching from an all-in-one networking gadget to a UniFi system has all the time been a bit difficult. The firm has damaged down the networking stack into completely different gadgets to give you extra management.

It implies that it’s important to purchase a Security Gateway (a router, the “brain” of the community), a change (identical to a power strip, however for Ethernet ports) and an entry point (a Wi-Fi antenna). On high of that, a UniFi cloud key is a necessary purchase if you wish to handle your community with the corporate’s controller software program.

If you’re dedicated to the UniFi ecosystem, you get a great expertise. You can handle every Ethernet port in your change individually, you possibly can management Wi-Fi settings from wherever on the planet and plenty of, many extra issues. Ars Technica’s Lee Hutchinson fell down the UniFi rabbit gap and wrote a great story about his expertise working skilled networking gear at house.

The UniFi Dream Machine takes a completely different strategy. It rebundles all of the separate items that make a UniFi community come to life. You should purchase the $300 UniFi Dream Machine and management each little element of your community.

Specifications

Just a few phrases on the specs of the UniFi Dream Machine. The pill-shaped gadget has an built-in safety gateway, which helps you to run a DHCP server, create firewall insurance policies, benefit from a number of VLANs and extra.

In addition to the WAN port to attach your gadget to the web, there are 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. As for Wi-Fi, the Dream Machine helps 802.11ac Wave 2 (“Wi-Fi 5”) with a 4×Four MU-MIMO antenna — no Wi-Fi 6, sadly.

Behind the scene, the gadget makes use of a 1.7GHz ARM Cortex-A57 processor. It has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage and consumes as much as 26W.

Using the Dream Machine

Setting up the UniFi Dream Machine is a great expertise. Ideally, you need to plug an Ethernet cable in your ISP-provided router and put it in bridge mode. This manner, it’ll act as a dumb modem and let the UniFi Dream Machine do all of the arduous work.

After downloading the cellular app and turning on the UniFi Dream Machine, you get a popup that mimics the pairing popup of the AirPods. You can then management your community from that cellular app or use a internet browser in your laptop.

This is when it will get attention-grabbing.

UniFi’s controller software program normally lists all of the UniFi gadgets at the moment working in your community. With the UniFi Dream Machine, you get a single gadget. But in the event you develop that gadget, you possibly can see a checklist of three separate UniFi elements — a gateway, a change and an AP.

As anticipated, you possibly can management each little element of your community. Once once more, this isn’t for everybody and you’ll have to study a lot of issues about networking to be able to optimize your setup. But in the event you’re a digital tinkerer, it’s a breath of contemporary air.

The UniFi Dream Machine acts because the DHCP server in my house. I’ve renamed my gadgets and assigned fastened IPs to all my gadgets to be able to discover them extra simply. You can see in actual time the community they’re utilizing and in the event that they’re getting a good Wi-Fi sign.

I’ve additionally configured Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 public DNS on the community stage.

There are a ton of prospects in the event you care about safety. I created a visitor Wi-Fi community that solely lets my mates entry the web. They can browse Twitter and stream Netflix reveals with none situation, however they will’t entry my computer systems on the native community.

I additionally created one other Wi-Fi community for IoT gadgets, similar to related audio system, a printer and a robotic vacuum. Connected gadgets don’t get a lot of safety patches and have extra vulnerabilities than a laptop or a smartphone that you just preserve up-to-date. I assigned a completely different VLAN to this Wi-Fi community. VLANs allow you to create a partitioned community with completely different units of guidelines.

I utilized firewall guidelines to this VLAN in order that I can management the gadgets from my private gadgets, however they will’t provoke requests to my gadgets on their very own. This is overkill for most individuals, nevertheless it’s enjoyable that you are able to do that from UniFi’s controller. More particulars right here.

When it involves Wi-Fi, all the things is customizable and performances have been stellar. I stay in a small condominium, however the balcony has all the time been a difficulty. I typically work from the balcony, and I’ve been utilizing a low cost Wi-Fi extender that I discovered in a field of devices and cables.

I unplugged the Wi-Fi extender and tried to connect with the UniFi Dream Machine. I get higher efficiency, even when I cut back Wi-Fi transmit power to medium.

These are simply a few examples of issues you are able to do with the UniFi Dream Machine. I really feel like I’m nonetheless underusing the gadget (you possibly can join through SSH and management all the things from the terminal), however I wouldn’t contemplate going again to an entry-level router with Wi-Fi capabilities.

Targeting prosumers

The UniFi Dream Machine is the networking gadget I didn’t know I wished. I’ll by no means have a whole lot of Wi-Fi gadgets related to my house community. I don’t want a dozen Ethernet ports. And but, I need to be answerable for my community. If you miss Apple’s AirPort Extreme or in the event you’re a networking nerd, you must contemplate the UniFi Dream Machine.

Small companies and outlets typically make some poor choices initially of the corporate. An inexpensive Wi-Fi router on Amazon doesn’t lower it when your corporation scales. The Dream Machine could be a good entry point, as you’ll be capable of construct upon that base gadget.

But in the event you assume you’ve gotten larger wants, don’t attempt to run a large community from a UniFi Dream Machine. Ubiquiti sells some great rackable gadgets that will provide you with a lot extra flexibility. The UniFi Dream Machine is a constrained machine in any case. That’s what makes it each not adequate for enterprise prospects and great for prosumers.

Motorola Moto Z4 evaluation: Treading water will get you nowhere

Motorola is taking one more flip at its Mod-compatible collection with the Moto Z4. Because the identify clearly signifies, that is the fourth-generation Z system, and with it, Motorola is stepping again and altering gears a bit. Reasonably than a real flagship cellphone, Motorola is pitching the Z4 as an inexpensive premium system. It prices tons of of dollars lower than flagships from Apple, LG, Samsung, and even OnePlus.

Verizon is the one service to supply the Moto Z4 within the U.S. and sells it with Motorola’s 5G Mod. Is the 5G improve sufficient to show Motorola continues to be headed in the best path with its Moto Z line?

Discover out in Android Authority‘s Motorola Moto Z4 evaluation.

About our Moto Z4 evaluation: We examined the Motorola Moto Z4 over a interval of two weeks. We used the cellphone in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas. It was working Android 9 Pie with the April 2019 safety patch all through the evaluation. Motorola equipped us with the evaluation unit.

Motorola Moto Z4 evaluation: The massive image

Motorola mentioned by way of its Twitter feed that the Moto Z4 would be the solely Z cellphone from the corporate this 12 months. Earlier Z generations have seen a mixture of choices, typically with a strengthened “Force” version and a watered-down “Play” version. The Z4 carries ahead Motorola’s flagship marquee in identify solely. Its specs are barely a tick higher than final 12 months’s Moto Z3 Play.

This leaves the way forward for the Z collection in critical doubt.

The cellphone is priced to compete with the OnePluses of the world, not the LGs or Samsungs. Can the inexpensive price ticket offset this dumbed-down smartphone? There isn’t a straightforward reply.

What’s within the field

Moto Z4

Moto TurboPower charger

USB-A to USB-C cable

360 Moto Mod

Motorola is promoting the Moto Z4 both packaged with the 5G Mod or the 360 Digital camera Mod. Our evaluation unit was packaged with the 360 Digital camera Mod. Along with the cellphone and the Mod, the Z4 field features a TurboPower wall socket and USB-A to USB-C cable for fast charging.

There aren’t any headphones or secondary Mods just like the wi-fi charging case. We are able to solely hope if a standalone Z4 ever goes on sale, it’s packaged with a primary rear protector mod.

Design

158 x 75 x 7.35mm

165g

3.5mm headphone jack

MicroSD expandable storage

Aluminum chassis

2.5D Gorilla Glass 3

Single speaker

Water repellent

To accommodate the Moto Mods, the Moto Z4 maintains roughly the identical measurement and form of its predecessors, with solely refined variations between it and even the first-generation Moto Z. Briefly: There’s nothing right here we haven’t seen earlier than.

The Moto Z4 has an aluminum body sandwiched between two Gorilla Glass Three panels. The glass curves alongside the sides the place it meets the body. Motorola elevated the Z4’s thickness only a bit, to accommodate a bigger battery. I’m not going to complain about it. You may get the Z4 in Flash Grey or Frost White.

I respect all of the ports, buttons, and controls. The amount toggle and display screen lock key are excessive on the best aspect of the cellphone. I discovered them simple to make use of and the motion is ideal. A tray tucked into the highest edge pulls double-duty, holding each the SIM card and microSD reminiscence card. The USB-C port and (huzzah!) 3.5mm headphone jack populate the underside edge.

The very best telephones with a headphone jack (April 2019)

Developments are made for bucking, and no pattern requires extra bucking than the disappearance of the headphone jack. There are such a lot of headlines today about telephones shedding their headphone jacks, courtesy of the …

Moto’s Z collection units have all had completely flat rear panels and the Z4 is not any totally different. The rear glass feels very easy because of the tremendous polish. A big, round module close to the highest incorporates the only digicam, flash, and sensor array. Copper contact factors sit near the underside edge.

The association of those two parts has outlined the Moto Z line for the reason that starting. Mods depend on the digicam module for primary positioning and the copper contacts for communication between the Mod and the cellphone itself.

Motorola made one change this 12 months I discover puzzling. The aluminum body is angled inwards, which creates two results: 1. It makes the Z4 probably the most snug Z cellphone but to carry and use sans Mod; and a couple of. It means Mods don’t match as seamlessly on the Z4 as older Z units. Let’s discuss this for only a sec.

The Moto Mods are the entire attraction of Z collection units. By themselves, the telephones are skinny, gentle, and look good. The Mods give them options reminiscent of a projector, 360-degree digicam, or set of audio system. Motorola did a unbelievable job designing and engineering the Mods, which keep firmly in place because of magnets. Mods adhered to the rear panel seamlessly — till the Z4.

The Z4’s barely (and I imply barely) smaller rear footprint leaves a tiny ledge between the cellphone and the Mod. This ledge is straightforward to really feel, and might simply get caught in your palm, your pocket liner, or no matter else. The hazard right here is the Mods are now not secured as tightly as earlier than. I’m not saying the mods will go flying off, however the change in consolation alone is troublesome to me.

Lastly, as soon as once more Motorola has deigned waterproof a nice-to-have, not essential characteristic. The Moto Z4’s internals have been sprayed with a water-repellent materials that’s supposed to maintain the silicon secure from small quantities of moisture (sweat or rain).

It’s not waterproof and can’t be submerged.

Show

6.39-inch Full HD+ AMOLED

2,340 x 1,080

19.5:9 side ratio

1,000,000:1 distinction ratio

I don’t suppose it’s a stretch to name the Moto Z4’s show the most effective I’ve seen on a Motorola system. It’s massive, pixel-rich, and extremely colourful. The massive distinction ratio afforded by the AMOLED panel ensures you get the blackest blacks and brightest whites. It’s a tremendous show, and rivals telephones that price tons of extra.

The 19.5:9 side ratio means the display screen practically fills all the entrance face. Although the footprint of the Z4 is principally the identical as the primary Moto Z cellphone from a number of years in the past, Motorola virtually eradicated the bezels to create a seamless expertise. The user-facing digicam sits in a teardrop notch on the prime. The notch is so small as to be virtually unnoticeable, and the brow and chin bezels are stored in test.

Biometrics are hidden behind the show. Motorola opted for an in-display fingerprint sensor, fairly than cramming one into the chin. Coaching the in-display sensor is identical as coaching every other, and it takes however a second. I discovered the reader dependable, however it took half a second too lengthy to authenticate my print. The animation it shows when studying your print is straight out of a science fiction film.

/**/

Motorola did a tremendous job adapting its Moto Z platform for at present’s all-screen look.

Efficiency

Qualcomm Snapdragon 675

Octa-core 2.0GHz

Adreno 612 GPU

4GB RAM

Efficiency is a bit uneven, I’m sorry to say. The place the primary Moto Z cellphone was a real flagship, the present Moto Z4 is extra of a high-end mid-ranger. The Z4 has a Snapdragon 600 collection processor fairly than a Snapdragon 800 collection processor, and I can inform the distinction not simply in benchmarks, however in on a regular basis use.

A monster performer the Moto Z4 is just not.

I introduced the Moto Z4 alongside as my day by day driver on a current enterprise journey. Issues weren’t 100 % from the get go. Generally apps crashed or didn’t load altogether. I skilled app hangs, and RAM-intensive apps just like the digicam have been susceptible to sluggish conduct. Graphics-rich video games reminiscent of Asphalt introduced the cellphone to its knees. The benchmarks solely put some metrics to those experiences.

Geekbench four scores confirmed 1,953 for single-core efficiency and 5,932 for multi-core efficiency. This put the Z4 solidly behind 2017-era flagships just like the Galaxy S8, Be aware 8, and Pixel 2. 3DMark scores have been markedly worse. The cellphone scored 1,044 on the OpenGL ES 3.1 take a look at and 1,063 on the Vulkan take a look at. That 1,044 put the Z4 behind 63 % of telephones within the 3DMark database. The Vulkan ranking was worse but once more, placing the Z4 behind a whopping 75 % of telephones. AnTuTu resulted in a rating of 170,807, placing the Z4 behind 58 % of the sector.

/**/

A monster performer the Moto Z4 is just not.

Battery

3,600mAh Lithium-ion

Motorola 15W TurboPower

No wi-fi charging

If one factor concerning the Moto Z4 impressed the hell out of me, it was battery life. I used the cellphone extensively on my current enterprise journey and it went the gap — fairly actually. The primary day of my journey occurred to be an extended one. I unplugged the Z4 at 3:45 a.m. as I left for the airport. I used the cellphone all day in Newark, Chicago, and Atlanta earlier than lastly plugging it again in to cost at 2:45 a.m. in my Dallas resort room. Over that 24-hour interval, the cellphone gave me greater than seven hours of screen-on time and it nonetheless had 37 % left within the tank. You’ll be able to’t ask for rather more than that.

Motorola made battery life a precedence, and it exhibits.

On what most individuals would name a “regular” day, the Z4 pushed from breakfast to bedtime with out breaking a sweat. Throughout these days, I used the Z4 to test e-mail, get mad at Twitter, respect Instagram, and handle my Slacks. The Z4 simply coasted by means of with out dipping beneath 50 %. Motorola says the cellphone can last as long as two days, and I believe that’s a good declare.

Charging speeds have been wonderful by way of the included charger. Plug the Moto Z4 in for 15 minutes and also you’ll get seven to eight hours of battery life. That’s excellent for whenever you come from work on a Friday afternoon and have a fast turn-around earlier than your night plans begin.

Motorola made battery life a precedence, and it exhibits.

Final, wi-fi charging is just not out there to the Z4 by itself. If you happen to care to spend an additional $50 on Motorola’s Wi-fi Charging Mod, you then’ll be good to go. I hate that you must shell out further dough to get a characteristic so many different units have already got in-built.

Digital camera

Rear digicam:

48MP sensor with 12MP output

f/1.7 aperture, 1.6um pixel measurement

OIS, PDAF, laser autofocus

CCT dual-LED flash

Entrance digicam:

25MP sensor with 6.25MP output

Quad Pixel know-how

f/2.Zero aperture

0.9um pixel measurement

Motorola is clinging firmly to the concept that one digicam is sweet sufficient. The place many of the competitors has moved to two-camera techniques, the Moto Z4 has however a single sensor on the rear. It’s a whopper at 48MP, although it bins that all the way down to 12MP for higher efficiency in low-light settings.

/**/

Outcomes are, sadly, all around the map. As you possibly can see in a few of the photographs beneath, vibrant daylight resulted in plenty of distinction even if the auto HDR software was on. The shadows within the first bridge image, for instance, are fully misplaced. Element and focus are pretty first rate all through, however publicity and white steadiness are inconsistent. I had a tough time avoiding the halo impact every time a powerful gentle supply was round (like, you recognize, the solar.) You’ll be able to see it within the under-the-bridge photographs.

I took a few photographs of myself with the entrance digicam and you may see the dramatically totally different outcomes. The primary batch is in regular mode. The cellphone’s magnificence filter made a large number of my face (I appear to be a model!), however the publicity is sweet and the element within the background is nice. Once I tried the selfie portrait mode as a substitute, it did a ridiculous job carving a top level view round my head and hazing out the background. These are embarrassingly dangerous.

The assorted capturing modes are enjoyable. The Spot Coloration software didn’t do a horrible job on the rose shot, and options reminiscent of Cinematography and Reside Filter can result in enjoyable outcomes. The video digicam provides you entry to slow-motion and time-lapse, that are about all I want.

/**/

The Evening Mode is terrible. Verify the samples beneath. The left picture is taken in regular digicam mode with the second taken in Evening Mode. Evening Mode introduces unbelievable quantities of grain that primarily ruins the shot.

Motorola Moto Z4 Digital camera Pattern trampoline Motorola Moto Z4 Digital camera Pattern trampoline night time website

You’ll be able to seize video as much as 4K, however the Full HD outcomes are the most suitable choice.

I hoped for a bit extra from Motorola and the Z4’s digicam. It’s not a horrible digicam by any stretch, however it doesn’t compete nicely sufficient with at present’s class of mid-rangers.

A folder with full-resolution samples is offered right here.

Audio

3.5mm headphone jack

Bluetooth 5 with aptX HD

The jack is again! Motorola omitted the usual 3.5mm headphone jack from the Moto Z3 final 12 months and followers weren’t blissful. The corporate took the criticism to coronary heart and introduced the jack again to its 2019 Z4. I plugged in my greatest earbuds and got here away happy with the readability and high quality of sound replica. Disgrace the cellphone doesn’t ship with even a easy pair of buds.

The Z4 additionally helps the superior aptX HD Bluetooth audio codec, which delivers clear tones to your headphones. Whether or not you’re peacefully passing your commute or jamming out on the gymnasium, the Bluetooth radio has you coated for 30 ft.

I’m not pleased with the loudspeaker state of affairs. Motorola has lengthy opted to depend on a single speaker for its units. The earpiece speaker, crammed between the glass and the metallic body, handles calls and music and does neither significantly nicely. It’s clear to me Motorola didn’t put a lot effort into the interior speaker because of the supply of removable speaker Mods.

Software program

Android 9 Pie

Motorola’s software program has led the pack for years. The corporate employs a principally inventory construct of Android, with the lightest enhancements that really enhance the expertise of utilizing the cellphone day and in time out.

It’s the straightforward issues. Chop the cellphone twice to activate the flashlight. Twist your wrist twice to launch the digicam. Flip the cellphone over to activate Do Not Disturb. Motorola was one of many first with the always-on show, and it continues to steer with a versatile software that offers you simply the correct quantity of knowledge on the proper time.

/**/

Motorola’s one-button navigation system is much better than Google’s native Pie nav software. Customers can decide to make use of the normal three-button association or the only bar. The latter requires individuals to study just some easy thumb-based gestures that mean you can transfer from app to app seamlessly. Each different cellphone maker simply wants to repeat this already.

Though the Z4 isn’t an Android One system, Motorola is dedicated to system updates. Customers can anticipate to see system updates for 2 years and safety updates for 3 years. That’s all you possibly can ask for.

Worth for the cash

Moto Z4 + 5G Mod — $499

Moto Z4 + 360 Digital camera Mod — $499

Motorola has muddied the worth equation a bit by forcing individuals to purchase a cellphone and mod package deal. In the intervening time, you can not buy simply the Moto Z4. Whether or not you go for Verizon’s $200 5G Mod or the 360 Digital camera Mod, you’re taking a look at about $500 for the cellphone. I’d want to see the cellphone bought with no Mod for $400 or much less, however Motorola isn’t there but.

The 5G Mod makes for an attractive package deal. You’ll be capable of use the Z4 and Mod collectively to entry Verizon’s 5G community in a handful of markets. Speeds on Verizon’s 5G community are unbelievable, however discovering protection is problematic at greatest. This makes the $200 expense a bit doubtful. As for the 360 Digital camera, it’s a good various to devoted 360 cams. It takes satisfactory 360-degree photographs and it’s a slim add-on.

What’s 5G, and what can we anticipate from it?

You’ve got seemingly heard the time period quite a bit not too long ago, however what’s 5G? Good query. Merely put, 5G networking is the subsequent main evolution of cell wi-fi know-how. It’s going to empower clients with even quicker information connections, …

Motorola Moto Z4 evaluation: The decision

After spending greater than every week with the Motorola Moto Z4, I can’t assist however be left with the sensation its a placeholder, the lowest-denominator achievement of a dedication. It’s as if Motorola was beholden to Verizon to create yet one more technology of Mod-compatible Z telephones, and that is what we obtained. Motorola is treading water, conserving its head above water however not essentially making any progress in the direction of the shore.

The Z4 is not any flagship like its predecessors, regardless of sporting their model. It’s a extra true successor to the Z3 Play than the Z3, and even then has a number of compromises which can be exhausting to miss.

My greatest concern is the uneven expertise. A cellphone that begins life as a janky performer hardly ever adjustments its tune. The digicam was additionally a little bit of a letdown.

What are the explanations to purchase this cellphone? The nice display screen, crushing battery life, and the wonderful Android expertise.

If you happen to’ve already invested in Motorola’s ecosystem of Mods and don’t but have both the 5G Mod or the 360 Digital camera Mod, then maybe one among these packages is for you.

Another fine mesh

Amazon’s acquisition of mesh router company Eero is a smart play that adds a number of cards to its hand in the rapidly evolving smart home market. Why shouldn’t every router be an Echo, and every Echo be a router? Consolidating the two makes for powerful synergies and significant leverage against stubborn competition.

It’s no secret that Amazon wants to be in every room of the house — and on the front door to boot. It bought connected camera and doorbell companies Blink and Ring, and of course at its events it has introduced countless new devices from connected plugs to microwaves.

All these devices connect to each other, and the internet, wirelessly. Using what? Some router behind the couch, probably from Netgear or Linksys, with a 7-character model number and utilitarian look. This adjacent territory is the clear next target for expansion.

But Amazon could easily have moved into this with a Basics gadget years ago. Why didn’t it? Because it knew that it would have to surpass what’s on the market, not just in signal strength or build, but by changing the product into a whole new category.

Amazon is buying home mesh router startup, Eero

The router is one of a dwindling number of devices left in the home that is still just a piece of “equipment.” Few people use their routers for anything but a basic wireless connection. Bits come and go through the cable and are relayed to the appropriate devices, mechanically and invisibly. It’s a device few think to customize or improve, if they think of it at all.

Apple made some early inroads with its overpriced and ultimately doomed Airport products, which served some additional purposes, like simple backups, and were also designed well enough to live on a table instead of under it. But it’s only recently that the humble wireless router has advanced beyond the state of equipment. It’s companies like Eero that did it, but it’s Amazon that’s made it realistic.

The 8 features Amazon and Google must add to the Echo and Home

Build the demand, then sell the supply

It’s become clear that in many homes a single Wi-Fi router isn’t sufficient. Two or even three might be necessary to get the proper signal to the bedrooms upstairs and the workshop in the garage.

A few years ago this wasn’t even necessary, because there were far fewer devices that needed a wireless connection to work. But now if your signal doesn’t reach the front door, the lock won’t send a video of the mail carrier; if it doesn’t reach the garage, you can’t activate the opener for the neighbor; if it doesn’t reach upstairs, the kids come downstairs to watch TV — and we can’t have that.

A mesh system of multiple devices relaying signals is a natural solution, and one that’s been used for many years in other contexts. Eero was among the first not to create a system but to make a consumer play, albeit at the luxury level, rather like Sonos.

Google got in on the game relatively soon after that with the OnHub and its satellites, but neither company really seemed to crack the code. How many people do you know who have a mesh router system? Very few, I’d wager, likely vanishingly few when compared with ordinary router sales.

It seems clear now that the market wasn’t quite ready for the kind of investment and complexity that mesh networking necessitated. Amazon, however, solves that, because its mesh router will be an Echo, or an Echo Dot, or an Echo Show — all devices that are already found in multiple rooms of the house, and seem very likely to include some kind of mesh protocol in their next update.

It’s hard to say exactly how it will work, since a high-quality router necessarily has features and hardware that let it do its job. Adding these to an Echo product would be non-trivial. But it seems extremely likely that we can expect an Echo Hub or the like, which connects directly to your cable modem (it’s unlikely to perform that duty as well) and performs the usual router duties, while also functioning as an attractive multipurpose Alexa gadget.

That’s already a big step up from the ordinary spiky router. But the fun’s just getting started for Amazon.

42 percent of smart speaker owners have bought a second device (or more)

Platform play

Apple has powerful synergies in its ecosystems, among which iMessage has to be the strongest. It’s the only reason I use an iPhone now; if Android got access to iMessage, I’d switch tomorrow. But I doubt it ever will, so here I am. Google has that kind of hold on search and advertising — just try to get away. And so on.

Amazon has a death grip on online retail, of course, but its naked thirst for an Amazon-populated smart home has been obvious since it took the smart step to open its Alexa platform up for practically anyone to ship with. The following Alexavalanche brought garbage from all corners of the world, and some good stuff too. But it shipped devices.

Now, any device will work with the forthcoming Echo-Eero hybrids. After all it will function as a perfectly ordinary router in some ways. But Amazon will be putting another layer on that interface specifically with Alexa and other Amazon devices. Imagine how simple the interface will be, how easily you’ll be able to connect and configure new smart home devices — that you bought on Amazon, naturally.

Sure, that non-Alexa baby cam will work, but like Apple’s genius blue and green bubbles, some indicator will make it clear that this device, while perfectly functional, is, well, lacking. A gray, generic device image instead of a bright custom icon or live view from your Amazon camera, perhaps. It’s little things like that that change minds, especially when Amazon is undercutting the competition via subsidized prices.

Note that this applies to expanding the network as well — other Amazon devices (the Dot and its ilk) will likely not only play nice with the hub but will act as range extenders and perform other tasks like file transfers, intercom duty, throwing video, etc. Amazon is establishing a private intranet in your house.

The rich data interplay of smart devices will soon become an important firehose. How much power is being used? How many people are at home and when? What podcasts are being listened to, at what times, and by whom? When did that UPS delivery actually get to the door? Amazon already gets much of this but building a mesh network gives it greater access and allows it to set the rules, in effect. It’s a huge surface area through which to offer services and advertisements, or to preemptively meet users’ needs.

Snooping ain’t easy (or wise)

One thing that deserves a quick mention is the possibility, as it will seem to some, that Amazon will snoop on your internet traffic if you use its router. I’ve got good news and bad news.

The good news is that it’s not only technically very difficult but very unwise to snoop at that level. Any important traffic going through the router will be encrypted, for one thing. And it wouldn’t be much of an advantage to Amazon anyway. The important data on you is generated by your interactions with Amazon: items you browse, shows you watch, and so on. Snatching random browsing data would be invasive and weird, with very little benefit.

Eero addressed the question directly shortly after the acquisition was announced:

Hi Steve! eero and Amazon take customer privacy very seriously and we will continue to protect it. eero does not track customers’ internet activity and this policy will not change with the acquisition.

— eero support (@eerosupport) February 11, 2019

Maybe they would have eventually as a last-ditch effort to monetize, but that’s neither here nor there.

Now the bad news. You don’t want Amazon to see your traffic? Too bad! Most of the internet runs on AWS! If Amazon really cared, it could probably do all kinds of bad stuff that way. But again it would be foolish self-sabotage.

Free-for-all

What happens next is an arms race, though it seems to me that Amazon might have already won. Google took its shot and may be once bitten, twice shy; its smart home presence isn’t nearly so large, either. Apple got out of the router game because there’s not much money in it; it won’t care if someone uses an Apple Homepod (what a name) with an Amazon router.

Huawei and Netgear already have Alexa-enabled routers, but they can’t offer the level of deep integration Amazon can; there’s no doubt the latter will reserve many interesting features for its own branded devices.

Linksys, TP-Link, Asus, and other OEMs serving the router space may blow this off to start as a toy, though it seems more likely that they will lean on the specs and utilitarian nature to push it with budget and performance markets, leaving Amazon to dominate a sliver… and hope that sliver doesn’t grow into a wedge.

One place you may see interesting competition is from someone leaning on the privacy angle. Although we’ve established that Amazon isn’t likely to use the device that way, the fear doesn’t have to be justified for it to be taken advantage of in advertising. And anyway there are other features like robust ad blocking and so on that, say, a Mozilla-powered open source router could make a case for.

But it seems likely that by acquiring an advanced but beleaguered startup that was ahead of the market, Amazon will be able to make a quick entry and multiply while the others are still engineering their responses.

Expect specials on Eeros while stock lasts, then a new wave of mesh-enabled Echo-branded devices that are backwards compatible, mega-simple to set up, and more than competitive on price. Now is the time and the living room is the place; Amazon will strike hard and perhaps it will set in motion the end of the router as mere equipment.

Visual FX Supervisor and creative lead who worked on films like Guardians of the Galaxy, The Martian and BladeRunner 2049 has also seen huge improvements since he switched to the new laptop.“On set every second costs an insane amount of money it’s extremely important to be able to react extremely quickly and with these new MacBooks we are able to render tremendously faster.”Video editing appears to be an area where the new MacBook Pro is excelling with James Tomkin, Director of Hangman Studios explaining how it’s improving their workflow.Hangman is a production and post production company that makes films for bands and brands for digital, broadcast and cinema.Apple MacBook Pro 2018 (Image: APPLE)The Apple MacBook Pro 2018 features s True Tone display (Image: APPLE) Apple’s latest 2018 MacBookPros take our tour workstation to the next level. James Tomkin, Director of Hangman Studios “The current MacPro ‘trashcan’ (2013 models) changed how we could work on the road when it was released,” explained Tonkin.“As for us its size and form factor made it the perfect Mac for taking out on tours packed neatly in our carry on luggage complete with a 15” screen and RAID drives.“This became our touring rig from 2014 until now, a supercharged laptop if you will, that allowed us to throw any camera types at it, (mostly RED 6K) and edit quickly in multicam within FCPX anywhere and everywhere.“We literally set up this workstation up in hotels, venues and on planes and trains around the world for the last 5 years.“Apple’s latest 2018 MacBookPros take our tour workstation to the next level.“We’re always looking for faster yet smaller technology to use on the road. The physical footprint of the equipment we use has a big impact on our day to day on the road, especially considering we’re literally carrying it around all the time with us.“As the camera formats we shoot evolve from 6K to 8K so must the hardware we use to edit and finish with.A new keyboard should improve the experience (Image: APPLE)Apple MacBook Pro 2018 is up to 70 percent faster (Image: APPLE)“The combination of fast 6-core CPU with external eGPUs makes the new 2018 MacBookPros look like a great portable workstation for us, combining both power and portability along with a flexibility we need when working on the road.“Deadlines demand that sometimes we need to work wherever we find ourselves and not always with the luxury of a desk and mains power.“Laptops will always be the best workstations for this reason as many times we’ve edited content for delivery on the back of a tour bus leaving the venue or on the way to the airport for the next show.“Every bit of equipment we choose has to enable us to work quicker, more efficiently and to a higher standard from the last.“These 2018 MacBookPros certainly look like they fit into this criteria and will become the basis of our portable workstations moving forward.”So the new MacBook Pro seems to be making an impression on the creative industry who are demanding more power for more intensive tasks.Express.co.uk will be bringing our own thoughts on the new MacBook 2018 in the coming weeks but early signs appear to be good.
