the tech world is changing all the time and every day it feels like there is some new phone in our hands or some new high-tech gadget trying to make our lives smarter and it can be difficult to keep up with all the tech news that clogs your social feed on a daily basis but we want to change that I'm gonna be here every Tuesday and Thursday going beyond the headlines and giving you the information about the three biggest tech stories that you really need to know about keep an eye on the upper right hand of the screen there'll be a number up there that'll tell you which story Ron and how much time is left in each segment all right let's do this I'm Robert isn't felled and here's ballooning Apple may not be teaching the lightning port for USB see on the next generation of iPhones but a new rumor suggests the company is moving in the right direction new photos claimed to show an engineering prototype of the new power adapter coming with the new fleet of iPhones with a regular two prongs on the front and on the back a USB C port instead of the traditional USB a port that we've seen for the past decade suggesting the next iPhone will come with a lightning to USB C cable in the Box the swap to type C from Taipei definitely makes sense even for Apple the MacBook and MacBook Pros don't have a single type a port on them and we're seeing more and more laptop manufacturers following in Apple's footsteps so this new cable would eliminate the need for a dongle just to charge your new iPhone of course swapping out the Lightning port in favor of USB C altogether makes the most sense for everybody but let's be honest this is Apple we know it's probably not gonna happen and that's just the way it is if this new power adapter is the real deal we'll see it launch alongside at least one new iPhone this fall a glitch affecting a small number of Samsung phone owners is doing something odd and creeping people out multiple reports across Reddit and Samsung's own forums claimed that a small number of users are having photos from their media gallery sent to random people on their contacts list without their permission and even without a trace of the message being sent on the phone itself one Reddit user said his s9 sent his entire photo gallery to his girlfriend on its own while he slept the mysterious bug seems to mainly be affecting customers with an S 9 or an S sign plus for also hearing reports of this happening on Note eights as well many are speculating this manage you with t-mobile's recent switch from SMS over to the new mobile messaging standard our CS p'tee mobile says hey this is not our issue and you need to talk to Samsung Samsung did release a statement saying their tech teams are looking into the issue and for a temporary fix users should take samsung's messaging app and revoke its permissions to access local device storage and the next generation of iPads are coming sooner than you may think and if the rumors are true I'll be taking some major design cues from the iPhone 10 some developers did some sleuthing into iOS 12 and found that avatar kits the software behind nmo G's and emojis are optimized and ready for the but they're so requiring that treat up the camera system to actually work this follows recent rumors we've been hearing that the new line of iPads will ditch the touch ID fingerprint sensor altogether and follow the iPhone 10 by adding to treetop camera system and face ID as its replacement whether or not we'll see an iPad with a notch is still unknown we've seen some renders with one and some without honestly both concepts look really cool and it'll be interesting to see what Apple actually does decide to do and we haven't really seen any iPad pro updates in a while so it's not out of the question that we could see these new iPads and launched alongside a new iPhone and a September event but whether or not that happens the fall seems like the obvious time for a refresh so now it's your turn we want you guys to be a part of the lowdown do you have a comment on a story mentioned today send us a short video messages like 30 seconds or less with your thoughts on a story over to us on Twitter or Instagram for your chance to be featured on the next episode the lowdown just like this guy John for Lakers and ho but for named Phyllis sounds familiar what's going on Berto I'm Jon and there are some pictures in my samsung phone that I don't want sent I want to send my pictures I want them to be sent on purpose or perhaps late at night accidentally but I don't want my phone do it on its own Samsung better make this right that's what I got to say alright guys that's all I've got today thank you so much for watching this first episode the lowdown I sincerely appreciate it I'll see you guys back here on Thursday
