Rumor has that Apple does not have immediate plans for sattelite phone

Recently there's was a rumor of Apple sattelite phone. It was that Apple phone let you connect your iPhone to satellites so you can contact emergency services in areas that don’t have cellular coverage, according to a new Bloomberg report. Bloomberg’s article was published after Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Sunday that the iPhone 13 may be able to make satellite calls. Kuo often reveals details about Apple’s plans before the company officially announces them, but Bloomberg’s sources indicate that Apple’s approach for iPhone satellite connectivity may be more limited to start. 

Bloomberg reported on Sunday that Apple has no plans “now, next year or anytime in the near future” to create a satellite iPhone. According to the outlet, Apple’s hardware isn’t ready to support calling and texting without cell coverage yet. It would also be expensive and could make the mobile carriers the company works with very, very angry.

Although there is no satellite iPhone in the works right now, that doesn’t mean Apple isn’t working on satellite features. Bloomberg explains that these features are reportedly designed for emergency situations in remote areas. In these scenarios, the phone would connect to satellite networks to allow users to send texts to first responders or report an accident, such as a plane crash or a ship that’s sinking.

That's totally different from "call and text anyone, anywhere" but still it's a useful feature. However, it appears to be unlikely we’ll see these emergency satellite features in the iPhone 13 expected later this month. Bloomberg states that the hardware to support these features might be embedded in the iPhone this year, but the features themselves wouldn’t go live until 2022. Additionally, these features will only be available in “select,” but not all, countries.

RPA - UiPath

What is RPA?   RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across  application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.   UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs, and give

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i

Alien could be discovered on this new class of 'Hycean' exoplanet.

In the discovery for Alien life, astronomers have mostly looked for planets of a similar size, mass, temperature, and atmospheric composition to Earth. Recently, the team of astronomers find a class of planets that may prove the existence of Alien Life. Such exoplanets are more numerous in planetary surveys than rocky ones, which means they could be fertile territory in the search for alien life. The researchers have dubbed them 'Hycean' worlds.  In the new study, researchers identify one such class of alien worlds "Hycean" planets, which are up to 2.5 times larger than Earth and feature huge oceans of liquid water beneath hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Hycean planets appear to be incredibly abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, and they could host microbial life similar to the "extremophiles" that thrive in some of Earth's harshest environments, study team members said. "Hycean planets open a whole new avenue in our search for life elsewhere,"
