Guy Makes His Face Invisible With the iPhone X

Posted on by

The iPhone X is packed with great technology, even if it is super expensive. The phone’s face-tracking capabilities are especially impressive. You know a phone is really great when it can make you invisible. Well, your face at least. A video recently surfaced, demonstrating a cool invisible face hack using the iPhone X. That’s fun to say: Invisible face hack. Invisible face hack. There, I ruined it. It’s not special anymore. Anyway, this hack was created by Japanese app developer Kazuya Noshiro using the phone’s facial recognition and tracking capabilities.

How it works is pretty simple. Noshiro’s tweets reveal that the app was made with the Unity game development platform. It uses a fixed camera position to shoot a background that creates the illusion. In other words, the face is replaced with the background. But your hair, eyes and lips remain, just because it’s much creepier that way.

The video is only 10 seconds long, but that’s plenty of time to let the nightmare sink in so that it’s ready for bedtime tonight. No word yet on when the app will be released or what it might be used for besides the obvious novelty of it.

iPhone X Notch Removing App Is Now Available On The App Store

Posted on by

While the iPhone X is getting strong reviews, many fans are not happy about the notch, the big obstructing bezel on the top of the display which houses the cameras, sensors and speaker. But for those of you who can’t seem to adjust, there is now an app you can download to make the adjustment easier.

The app is called Notch Remover, and like its name, it removes the unsightly notch. Now, it doesn’t actually remove the notch or the functionality of it, but it hides it under a black bar that you save as wallpapers. I couldn’t find any confirmation, but it seems like this app would only apply to the home screen and lock screen.

Still, if you hate the notch that much, it’s not a bad idea to spend $0.99 on an app to try and mask it. After all, you just spent $999 on the phone itself, what’s another buck?

I Choose To Believe These People Who Can’t Tell An iPhone X From an iPhone 4 are Actors

Posted on by

Every so often, Jimmy Kimmel does a street segment showing people the hottest new gadget, but it’s really an old or completely different version of that new product. And somehow, he always finds morons who believe they’re looking at the newest iPad, when it’s really an old copy of Highlights Magazine from June 1992, with Hitler mustaches doodled on every person’s face. “Oh wow, it’s so light and different.”

But this time Kimmel’s taken it too far. The iPhone X hype has been everywhere and, yet the segment shows people being tricked into the thinking an old iPhone 4 is the new $999 iPhone X.

It’s so obvious that my only question left is, how did the actors later spend the $25 they were paid?

Man I really am just a buzzkill, aren’t I?

A leather robe for the iPhone X

The problem with leather initially was that it was a 2 dimensional fabric. You couldn’t really wrap leather around curves without causing it to kink or fold, which meant leather cases for phones usually had just a flat piece of leather on a wooden or plastic framework. Mujjo’s proprietary technology allows for actual leather molding, making it take pretty much any shape you desire. The iPhone X cases by Mujjo are made entirely of the finest vegetable tanned leather from top to bottom, including the buttons.

Aside from being able to ensconce your phone in premium leather, Mujjo’s cases come with a slot that let you stash your cards in it, making the priceless iPhone a little bit more priceless, that’s if priceless-ness is quantifiable! The cases come with a Japanese microfiber inner lining that make sure the glass back of the iPhone doesn’t gather scratches, while the leather case forms a healthy 1mm lip around the phone, protecting the screen from making contact with any surface in case it accidentally falls from your hands. The case holds up to two cards and if you’re the kind who wants to separate phone from wallet, Mujjo even makes full leather regular cases that will rival Apple’s own cases. My heart’s set on the olive one!

CNET iPhone X Drop Test Reveals You Really Don’t Want To Drop Your Phone

Posted on by

If hearing that the iPhone X’s $279 out of warranty screen replacement, or worse, it $550 back glass replacement (yes, $550!) doesn’t make you shudder at the thought of leaving your phone bare, then you should take a look at CNET who tested dropping the iPhone from different angles.

Basically, don’t leave the Apple store without a case or a warranty. Or do I have to start listing other things you could’ve bought for that money? Well, I’m all out of ideas, so just don’t drop it.

Hit the jump for the CNET’s drop test on the iPhone X, and remember, It’s not your phone being dropped. 

A case worthy for the iPhone X

It’s a challenge, cladding something as beautiful as the iPhone X with a case. Not many people would, because there’s a beauty to the Apple flagship that a case will only destroy, but I highly recommend that you do (if you’re one of the millions waiting in queue for your handset), because let’s remember the phone is made primarily of glass, which if a phone is dropped on its corners, will shatter without warning, and of Aluminum which scratches easier than Apple would like you to believe. If you want your $1000 phone to continue staying beautiful, a case is the only way to go, and what’s better than a clear case?

Nomad’s Clear Folio case for the iPhone X is every bit as premium and amazing as the smartphone itself. The case itself is clear, showing off your iPhone in pretty much all its glory, while protecting it from accidental, painful breaks. It also comes with a folio flap made of the finest leather from Horween Leather Co., one of America’s oldest leather tanneries still operational to date. The vegetable tanned leather flap comes with slots that can hold up to 6 cards and cash, making your iPhone X even more priceless than it already is! Plus, the case is as limited edition (if not infinitely more) than the iPhone X. Only 20 cases remain in stock, so you better grab yours soon!

Why Tech Wednesday: The iPhone X Will $279 To Replace The Screen. Here Are Some Other Things That You Could Buy With $279

Posted on by

Sure, that new iPhone looks cool. You can show it off to your friends and be the cool kid on the block for the next couple of days. But Apple has released pricing info for those unfortunate enough to drop their shiny new phone and the most shocking is the $279 charge for repairing the screen.

So for those people we figured we’d have a little fun with the numbers and see what else that $279 could’ve bought you.

 

  • Xbox One S Bundle with 500GB Hard Drive and Madden NFL 18 ($279)

Forget the iPhone and load up some Madden to forget you troubles.

 

  • Amazon Fire HD 8 and Amazon Echo ($79 + $99)

At least if you break this one, you could just toss it in the trash and buy a new one!

 

  • ~33 Burritos from Chipotle Mexican Grill ($274)

Or eat your troubles away with around 33 burritos from Chipotle.

 

  • Gym Membership for at least a year.

Of course, you could always just join a gym. (The healthy version of becoming addicted to burritos!)

 

  • Beats Solo3 Wireless ($185)

Save $100 and still be the cool kid on campus with a new pair of Beats.

 

  • Spotify Membership for 2 years and 4 months. ($279)

Listen away your troubles with ad-free Spotify. Your eyes may not appreciate looking at that cracked screen, but at least your ears will appreciate not being blasted with ads for 2 and a half years!

 

  • Heck, you could always just cut your losses and buy A refurbished iPhone 6S (~$280)

The NoPhone Air vs iPhone 8

Posted on by

If you’re starting to get fatigue with all these new smartphones coming out every month, then maybe it’s time to upgrade just one more time, to the NoPhone Air. The NoPhone Air is a revolutionary product that combines the convenience of an iPhone with the flexibility of the air that surrounds us. Let’s see how it stack up against the new iPhone 8.

  • NoPhone Air doesn’t need to be charged. iPhone 8 needs to be charged several times per week.
  • NoPhone Air can never be broken. iPhone 8 can’t even survive a fall off of a skyscraper.
  • iPhone 8 weighs more than 1,000,000 times more than the NoPhone Air.
  • iPhone 8 locks you into a long and pricey contract. NoPhone Air is a no-contract device.
  • iPhone 8 has no 3.5mm headphone jack, but neither does the NoPhone Air. This one’s a draw.

As you can clearly tell, the NoPhone Air is geared to bring serious competition into the smartphone wars, and it’s coming in guns-blazing. Sure, there are some features we’d like to see in the future, like a screen, camera, buttons or body, but for $6 you really shouldn’t expect more than a plastic package with a pocket of air.
