After a long wait, Apple just unveiled the new 5G iPhone 12 at the company’s virtual October event.

The new iPhone 12 will come in four variations including the base model, the pro, max and mini. There will be five fresh new finishes in black, white, green, red and blue. It also comes with aero-space grade aluminum edges, as well as a ceramic shield that is “tougher than any smartphone glass,” according to Apple.

This new feature makes the device “virtually impervious to heat and electricity” and has better resistance against drops, spills and splashes.

The new headlining feature for the device or what the company calls “the most exciting step yet,” is that this generation is 5G compatible.

“5G will bring a new level of performance for downloads and uploads, higher quality video streaming, more responsive gaming, real-time interactivity and so much more,” said chief executive Tim Cook.

Depending on the carrier and region, 5G grants faster internet access away from Wifi. The iPhone 12 has access to Verizon 5G ultrawide band. According to Apple, this is the fastest in the world with downloads speeds like 4 gigabytes per second.

Many of Apple’s well-known features have been improved in the new model. The iPhone 12 boasts a Super Retina XDR display, a crisper portrait mode, 4k HDr recording and turbo charging.

New accessories are also on the horizon as Apple adds new MagSafe accessories like cases and shielded credit card wallets. However, the new phones will not come with the compulsory earphones and charger. Apple touts this as a means to help reduce its impact on the environment.

Base prices will start at $799 and the new mini will start at $699. The new iPhone 12 is set to drop on Oct. 23, but is already available for pre-sale.

5G technology will be taking over the world soon and many companies are set to change the game. Huawei is one of them. However, it seems that its days in the UK are limited as policymakers are urging to change the role Huawei will have in their 5G network.

This decision is being taken by the GCHQ and other departments as the consequences are being weighed to make a decision for or against.

The Reason For The Change In Policy

There are talks of putting a ban in place after officials in Washington DC made claims that Huawei is a threat to national security. The claim is based in part on the belief that the company is owned or backed by China’s military service.

These are just claims for now and the company has fully denied these claims. However, there is more than what meets the eye. The reason the government is urging a change in policy is that if they continue with this decision then there may be sanctions from the U.S.

A review is on its way where it will be understood how the U.S. sanctions will affect the UK’s use of products by Huawei. These sanctions are most likely to take place from September onward which is why the UK needs to start rethinking its policy from now on.

Huawei and any other manufacturer that makes its chips using U.S. technology and software will be forbidden to do so once these sanctions are implemented.

Because of this, the company will face many problems. Firstly, there is a high chance that it will lose accessibility to its software. The design, testing, processing, and production of the software will not be accessible by Huawei.

This will restrict their production and the company may suffer some financial losses because of it as well. The U.S. is imposing the sanctions out of fear that China will use Huawei for spying.

They are making Huawei out to be a threat to national security which may force the UK to also change its stance and policy. The UK wants to make its telecom industry safe and secure and so many policymakers are urging for a change towards Huawei as it may threaten their security as well.

However, some members are also urging the government to not become collateral damage in this feud between the US and China. This is why they are not in support of the ban and urging everyone to review every possibility before imposing it.

This is a developing story and the members of parliament will discuss this issue again at House of Commons to review the implications of this ban. Once they have made a decision, it will seal the fate of the UK on this matter and the consequences of it will only be known once the decision is made public.
