It looks like Apple will actually break its own rule. Appeared photos of the iPhone 15 Pro and its packaging
Employees at Foxconn’s Chinese factory, where Apple smartphones are assembled, have leaked photos of iPhone 15 Pro smartphones and their packaging. The photos were posted by the Ax Live Telegram news channel, which has about 5 million subscribers.
The photos show the iPhone 15 Pro smartphones in two colors, as well as the packaging design and the contents of the package. The box for the smartphone will be white, and on top will be the front of the iPhone 15 Pro with new wallpaper.
Inside, in addition to the smartphone, there will be only a cable with USB-C connectors. According to previously published information, the cable may be in a fabric braid.
Recall that since the release of the iPhone XS, Apple has changed the image on the Pro packaging every year so that it shows the screen of the device once, and the second – the back of the smartphone. Last year’s iPhone 14 Pro box shows a screen with a Dynamic Island notch. Apple was expected to show the back of the iPhone 15 Pro this time around. But it seems that Apple still broke the rules that it adhered to for several years.
Users in China have previously posted photos of the iPhone 15 smartphone packaging that has already appeared in local stores. The box says that if the smartphone is activated before 8:01 am on September 13, 2023, then the seller faces a fine of $27,500 for each activation.
The presentation of new products is expected on September 12.

These Samsung smartphones were created specifically for the US military. Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition and XCover6 Pro Tactical Edition presented

Samsung has fully presented the new generation of secure Tactical Edition smartphones. These are the Samsung Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition and XCover6 Pro Tactical Edition models.
They were first presented back in May, but then Samsung partially revealed the characteristics and did not even show the device. Third-party images showed a generally ordinary Galaxy S23 and XCover6 Pro. As you can see in the latest images, there is little that is usual in terms of design in the new products. However, the external “armor” is removable.
The outer protective shell of both devices is much more impressive than that of most “professional” rugged smartphones. And all because the Tactical Edition line is aimed primarily not at ordinary consumers, but at the military. To create such devices, Samsung cooperates with the US Department of Defense.
From the point of view of characteristics typical for smartphones, these models are completely identical to their civilian counterparts. All features revolve around protection.
The Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition and XCover6 Pro Tactical Edition come pre-configured with software and custom drivers to support tactical radio protocols and mission-specific devices, including access to drone data and laser rangefinder information. They can also be connected to secure tactical communications systems and use a stealth mode that disables LTE and e-911 by disabling all RF transmissions (including GPS) in hardware. This ensures that communications are secure and completely disconnected from the network.
In particular, the devices are pre-installed with the ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit, which provides precise targeting, reconnaissance, navigation during military operations and data exchange) and BATDOK (Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Observation Kit, which tracks in real time monitoring the vital signs of an injured soldier – it simplifies the work of a physician when providing emergency care).
The software defined radio interface has the ability to receive data from a third party SDR receiver such as Flight Aware or other third party frequency band specific radios. There’s also an auto-answer feature for hands-free calls and the ability to record and prevent outgoing calls, which Samsung says is useful in hostage negotiations.
The outer protective shell consists of an Armor Aluminum frame and a durable military-grade case. This is just a case, and the smartphone can be taken out of it. Actually, then all the features of the devices will be reduced to unique software.

YouTube developers have released a TikTok-style video editor for smartphones

The YouTube video platform team has introduced a new application called YouTube Create, which allows you to edit videos directly on your phone.
The new app aims to encourage more people to create YouTube Shorts, a TikTok-style video offered by YouTube. It’s generally easier to make a TikTok video than a full YouTube video. The creation of a separate app also follows TikTok’s strategy of releasing a separate (and popular) app called CapCut, which helps create videos for TikTok and other platforms.
The app offers tools such as precision editing and trimming, automatic subtitles, voiceover capabilities, and access to a library of filters, effects, transitions, and royalty-free music.
The YouTube Create app will soon be available as a free beta download for Android in countries including the US, Germany, France, UK, Indonesia, India, Korea and Singapore. An iOS version is planned for release next year.
