Not one, but three new iPhones this year. I'm Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech Daily. A new report says Apple will launch three new phones this fall, including a less expensive model. So what we're looking at here are basically three iPhone tens, but in different sizes. They're all gonna have face ID plus those edge to edge screens, but they're going to come in small, medium, and i'd say extra large in the high end, a six and a half inch screen. This is an inch bigger than
the eight plus. There's also going to be the smaller updated iPhone ten plus an even smaller version of the iPhone ten that should cost less. So how are they going to get that price down? Will it may not have the super expensive screen of the flagship model, or maybe they'll do something with the camera last year's technology. This report is out of Bloomberg from a reporter that is pretty good about knowing about this stuff all right,
Twenty eighteen could be the year of mobile malware. Secure for McAfee reported sixteen million infections in twenty seventeen, which is way more than the previous year, and they say hackers are becoming more focused on mobile attacks. Some of the predicted targets. In twenty eighteen, banking trojans aimed at account holders at large and small banks, virtual bank robberies to grab cryptocurrency, and using the cameras, microphones and GPS
on our phones to spy on us. This is what we really have to watch out for as the average person. My advice when you download any app, be very weary of the permissions it asks for, especially when it comes to the camera, GPS and microphone. If you think an app does not need the permissions that it asks for, press that cancel button and find a new one. Speaking of apps, a new one is heading to the top of the charts because it's sort of the anti Instagram.
It's called Vero, and it lets you share movies, TV music, places photos, and links in a way that Instagram kind of used to be. There's no algorithm and there are no ads. You see your friend friends posts in chronological order. Plus you can choose the audience for each and every post. You can say only your close friends see it, or only your friends, acquaintances, or followers, which is basically public Vero is now topping the app charts for social media
both on Google Play and the App Store. I played around with this, I signed up. It actually looks very promising. I don't know if it's gonna be around in six months, if a lot of people are gonna be using it, but I really like how you can recommend things like movies and the music that you're listening to, because sometimes you just want to see what someone's into and there's not really an easy way of doing that. Right now, you can find a link on my website. Just go
