![]() On the Android side, Motorola has announced the Moto Z will not have a jack. If you’ve watched the tech news these last few months, you probably have noticed the rumors that Apple is expected to dump the headphone jack on the upcoming iPhone 7.

The result is a little bulky, but for new and diehard fans alike, a working Pokédex definitely worth it. Despite a switch on the circuit, the battery slowly drains so that’s something to be corrected in a future version.Īs you can see, there is still some room left over in the external bat–I mean–Pokédex, and intends to add another battery and a cooling fan to further improve the design. Inside, a 18650 lithium cell provides the much-needed backup power via a micro B plug and is boosted to 5V with a LiPo charger/booster board. Mimicking the first-generation Kanto design, 3D printed it in red ABS and added a small circuit with a red, yellow and green LED to complete the effect. To show off their dedication to the cause, 3D printed a Pokédex external battery and case to combat the game’s already legendary drain on their Galaxy S4’s resources. ![]() The launch of Pokemon Go has unleashed the franchise upon the world once again but this time it’s encouraging users to get active and socialize in the great outdoors.

It would contain a battery, display, buttons, multiple SIM cards, and an FPGA to monitor the various buses and chips and report on activity. The paper goes on to propose a device that they will prototype in the coming year which uses an FPC that goes into the phone through the SIM card port. This introspection can then be used to be confident that the phone is not communicating when it shouldn’t be. The paper looks at the various radios on the iPhone, going so far as opening up the device and reading signals at each of the chips for cell, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC to determine whether the chip itself is doing anything, regardless of what the screen says. Even airplane mode is insufficient for knowing that your phone isn’t somehow transmitting information. The idea is that phones are increasingly complex and potentially vulnerable to all kinds of digital surveillance. ![]() A rendering of the proposed introspection device attached to an iPhone6 And have teamed up to publish a paper exploring the possibility of introspection on the iPhone. ![]()
