Microsoft Set To Bring Antivirus Software To Android And iOS

Currently Defender for mobile is in the development stages. The company, Microsoft, have announced that they have plans to bring their Defender antivirus software to both the iOS operating system as well as Android later in 2020.

Currently the software giant is developing apps for both of these mobile operating systems and this will allow them to provide antivirus prevention as well as a what they descripe as a”full command line experience”. 

As yet, the company has not yet shared any of the details about the functionality of these apps. However there are plans to demonstrate and preview them at the soon to be held RSA conference. These mobile Defender apps are in all likelihood to be different than their desktop versions.  This is somewhat due to Apple not allowing apps to scan iOS for malware . 

However with Android, Google’s mobile operating system, there is already a large number of Android antivirus apps. And these apps are capable of detecting malware in other installed apps that have been sideloaded onto the scanned device. 

One if the main features is said to be phishing prevention for both Defender on iOS and on the Android operating system as is Microsoft aiming to protect businesses from having their employees unwittingly share their credentials such as usernames, passwords and other sensitive account information with potential attackers.

The Company Samsung Reduces Smartphone Output Through The Month Of April Because Demand Plummets

Image
According to a report in the tech source The Elec says that Samsung will scale back output from about 25 million phones a month to just 10 million devices through the month of April. This outlet quotes an un-named source to suggest that current Covid-19 Iockdowns as well as the shutting of production facilities in India and the country of Brazil are causing of the contraction of output. The company believes production would be normalized in the month of May when both the India and Brazil plants will recommence production. However, even though this lockdown has already been extended in India till May 3 as well as knowing that Covid-19 occurences are unfortunately increasing in both these countries, the anticipated return to normal may yet take a more lengthy process than Samsung anticipates. Yet, there is also a silver lining for Samsung. Predicted sales of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra have been outperforming market predictions with sales expected to reach 6 million devices through th...

MagSafe Magnetic Charging

Image
One similarity between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro is their battery life. The phones provide passable battery life, however this is a rung down from 2019’s iPhones. I’ve typically been getting about just over four hours of usage for each full charge using 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi. Now, this is only a full day of usage, and has a small buffer amount of charge. For example, I could easily get at least a day-and-a-half from both the iPhone 11 and also the iPhone XR. Getting a full day’s usage is fine, but it would’ve nice to have more of a safety net for those days where there is a lot usage. Speaking of charging, the company has gone with a rather interesting policy of stopping bundling power adaptors and earbuds with iPhones for environmental reasons. So all you will receive in their box – other than your iPhone 12 itself, is a USB C to Lightning cord. I do not think this is a big deal. Apple’s Earpods aren’t the best, & most people do have a power brick anyway. And the problematic...
