Brand new Kia Sportage coming out in June
New Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson
According to the South Korean edition of TheKoreanCarBlog, the long-awaited new generation of the Kia Sportage crossover will be unveiled in June. The first official photos and pre-order opening are expected in the first weeks of June.
The new Sportage is expected to share many details with the new Hyundai Tucson, including the 3rd generation platform and powertrain. This means that for the first time we will get a true hybrid in the Sportage line, as well as a Plug-in Hybrid.
Compared to the new Tucson, the interior layout will be completely different. While the Tucson has a more traditional center layout with separate displays, the interior of the new Sportage will have a digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen combined into a single unit.
The design of the curved panoramic display will be similar to that of the recently launched Kia K8. Sources say the interior of the new Sportage looks exceptional.
The new Sportage is expected to be available with different engines depending on the markets. In Europe, there will be 1.6- and 2-liter diesel engines and a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline hybrid.
Recall that the Kia Sportage Ace was recently introduced in China.

Whatsapp allows you to “quietly” leave a group

The WhatsApp team is working on a new feature that will allow users to “silently” leave group chats.
Currently, when someone leaves a group chat, WhatsApp announces it to all members of the group. Now it is impossible to quietly leave the group so that all members do not know about it. But soon this may change.
The thematic resource WABetainfo drew attention to the innovation in the beta version – when a user leaves a group, only group administrators receive a notification. When a group member opts out, a dialog box appears that says “Only you and the group admins will be notified that you have left the group.”

Americans are more satisfied with the old and very primitive LG smartphone than the iPhone 11 Pro Max. ACSI rating published

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) has published a press release on the satisfaction of Americans with certain brands and devices. In this document, we are most interested in smartphones.
And here the leader was the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. It could be said that this is unexpected, since in the US Samsung is still about half behind Apple in sales, but in fact a year earlier, the Samsung device was also in the lead in a similar list, and two years ago the company’s smartphones occupied all the first three places.
Be that as it may, the flagship of 2020 became the leader, which at the time of release was scolded for various shortcomings and features. Unexpectedly, LG Aristo 3, unknown outside the US, took second place. Moreover, this is a budget smartphone in 2019 on the SoC Snapdragon 425! How he even got on the leaderboard is completely unclear. Closes the top three iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Also on the leaderboard are HTC U12+, Pixel 4 and iPhone XR. In general, the list turned out to be as diverse as possible.
If we talk about brands, here Samsung and Apple share the first line of the rating with 80 points each. The top five also includes Google, Motorola and LG.

The photo allows you to compare the dimensions of all models of the iPhone 14 line and the dimensions of the camera units

A photo of covers allegedly intended for Apple’s new generation smartphones has appeared on the Web. The authenticity of the image cannot be verified, but in general everything looks plausible.
The two larger cases are for iPhone 14 Max and 14 Pro Max. The other two are made for the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro.
The difference in camera cutouts indicates that the lower models are likely to retain the two-sensor configuration, while the older ones will get three. At the same time, if we compare these cases with cases for current models, it becomes clear that the dimensions of the camera blocks will grow again, which allows us to hope for even better photos and videos. Recall that numerous rumors suggest that the older smartphones of the new generation will receive new 48-megapixel image sensors for the main cameras.
