Let’s dive into what’s new and how this impacts your mobile experience.


    iPhone 16: Power Meets Sustainability

    iOS 18: Personalized and Intelligent

    Alongside the new iPhone, iOS 18 brings a host of new features, making iPhones more intuitive and user-friendly. This update is designed to be more personal, adapting to your habits and preferences.

    Key features of iOS 18 include:

    • Live Wallpapers: Customize your iPhone like never before with interactive, animated wallpapers that respond to your touch.

    • AI-Powered Automation: iOS 18 leverages AI to anticipate your needs, such as suggesting shortcuts based on usage patterns and offering personalized app recommendations.

    • Improved Security: With enhanced protection for personal data and safer app interactions, Apple ensures your digital life remains private and secure.


    FAQs

    • When can I get the iPhone 16? The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are available for pre-order now and will hit stores shortly after.

    • Is iOS 18 compatible with my current iPhone? iOS 18 will be available for iPhone 11 and newer models. Be sure to check if your device is eligible for this update.

    • Do I need the iPhone 16 to experience iOS 18? No, iOS 18 can be downloaded on supported models, but the full experience (like certain AI features) will work best with the A18 chip found in iPhone 16.

  • unable to receive 2fa verification code sms

    "

    Attention Trend Micro Community!

    New Update!

    We have successfully implemented a fix for the 2FA verification issue affecting your Trend Micro My Account. 
    This would let you use the SMS 2FA codes to access your account.

    Still having the same issue?

    You can refer to the same workaround below if you are still experiencing the same issues. 

    If you have configured multiple Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods for your account, you can use the 'Use another method' option if you haven't received the SMS authentication within 120 seconds. This allows you to regain access to your account.

    However, if you have only configured SMS authentication for your account, please follow the troubleshooting steps below.

    For users in the US using T-Mobile as their network provider:

    • It is advised to utilize alternative authentication methods like email verification, social sign-ins, or authenticator apps to improve security and enhance the user authentication process.

    For users with different network providers and users from AU/NZ:

    • Please refer to the Help Center guide for assistance. You can find the guide at the following link:

                       Not Receiving Trend Micro 2FA SMS Codes

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact our Support Team.

    Our developers are consistently on this issue. We will let you know once this issue is fixed.

  • what you need to know about deep fakes

    "

    Attention Trend Micro Community!

     

    Have you ever seen a video that looked so real, but it was actually fake? That's what a deep fake is. Deep fakes are videos or images that have been manipulated using artificial intelligence to make it look like someone is doing or saying something they didn't.

     

    Tips for Spotting Deep Fakes

     

    1. Look for inconsistencies

     

    Deep fakes often have subtle inconsistencies that can give them away. Pay attention to details like lighting, shadows, and facial expressions.

     

    2. Check the source

     

    If you're not sure if a video is real, check the source. Is it from a reputable news outlet or social media account? If not, it may be a deep fake.

     

    3. Use fact-checking websites

     

    There are several fact-checking websites that can help you verify the authenticity of a video or image.

     

    4. Be skeptical of videos that seem too good to be true

     

    If a video looks suspicious, it probably is. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

     

    5. Use deep fake detection tools

     

    There are several deep fake detection tools available online. Some popular options include Deepware.ai and Sensity.ai.

     

     

    Conclusion

     

    Deep fakes can be both entertaining and dangerous. While they can be used for creative purposes, they can also be used to spread false information and harm people's reputations. By being vigilant and fact-checking information, we can protect ourselves from the dangers of deep fakes.
