People on social media have been cheering for what some called long overdue representation. Emojis with hearing aids and using sign language, wheelchairs and white canes are among the proposed options for iPhones.
The proposal states that emojis “may not represent the experiences of those with disabilities,” but that diversifying emoji options “helps fill a significant gap and provides a more inclusive experience for all.”
One in seven people around the world has some type of disability, whether visible or not, according to the proposal.
According to the submission, the new emojis focus on four main categories – blind and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, physical and motor skills, and hidden disabilities.
They include:
an ear with a hearing aid
a man and woman walking with a cane
a guide dog
a prosthetic arm
a prosthetic leg
a man and woman signing they are deaf
a service dog
a man and woman in a manual wheelchair and
a man and woman in a mechanical wheelchair.
The move has been met with a lot of positive response on social media, with some people claiming it is long overdue.
I know some people think this is silly, that an emoji is not gonna help solve problems. True, but increased awareness and inclusion will! Emojis are a form of expression that is very personal. I am reminded of it every time my child picks an emoji and matches her skin tone on it! https://t.co/B79pHMWGWp
Apple’s £999 iPhone X, the company’s most expensive phone to date, goes on sale starting, 7th November 2017 finally launching the highly-anticipated flagship smartphone.
The iPhone X, as with all other iPhone releases is no easy phone to get. There are already queues and campers outside of Apple’s London stores. However, the iPhone is in Ghana and hopefully, you are able to get one for yourself.
The iPhone X sale is up in Ghana.
The flagship phone does not come cheap. Apple has released two versions, a 64GB version, and a more expensive 256GB version.
How can I buy the iPhone X?
The iPhone X is available from today and Mfidie.com has gathered that Telefonika is the first shop to have the phone in stock. This was confirmed on their Facebook Page.
Confirmed Price of the iPhone X in Ghana
The iPhone X 64GB is Ghc6990 while the high-end iPhone X 256GB is GHc7990. Available Colours are Silver and Space Gray.
The iPhone X, also known as iPhone 10 was launched on 12th September 2017 at a plush event which was watched worldwide. As expected, a lot of Apple gadgets were announced and unveiled. This post looks at the iPhone X (iPhone 10) in reader detail.
Apple has unveiled the iPhone X, which joins the in Apple’s all-new iPhone line-up. Mfidie.com, your most relevant technology content provider brings you everything you need to know about the iPhone X (pronounced iPhone 10), including its price, specs and features.
The iPhone X is in commemoration of the iPhone’s 10th year.
iPhone X (iPhone 10) Specifications
Processor
The iPhone X is powered by Apple’s own A11 processor. It has six cores. Two of these cores are high-performance cores. They are up to 25 per cent faster than the high-performance core in the A10, which powers the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, says Apple. Then there are four other power-efficient cores that are 70 per cent faster compared to similar Cores in the A10.
RAM
Apple has not specified how much RAM there is inside the Apple X. But leaks noted that it is going to be 3GB. And because the iPhone X has a higher-density display, that is indeed how much RAM it will come with.
Internal storage
There are two variants of the iPhone X. One of them comes with 64GB internal storage. The other one has 256GB storage.
Variants
Both are different only in their internal storage. Everything else is same.
Screen
5.8-inch resolution of 2436X1125 pixels. The Apple X uses OLED panels.
Rear camera
12-megapixel shooter with dual-tone flash. Also, F1.8 wide lens. This is one camera. There is a second camera too in the iPhone X. This one uses a telephoto lens with F2.4 aperture.
Front camera
7-megapixel with an F2.2 lens.
Software
iOS 11
Battery
Not specified yet but lasts 2 hours longer than the battery life of the iPhone 7, which is not surprising given the fact that the iPhone 7 is a much smaller phone.
iPhone X (iPhone 10) Special Features
The sharpest display ever on an iPhone
The iPhone X features a colour OLED display with more than 2 million pixels. That means sharper text for reading, more impressive video playback and more. Better yet, it has a screen that runs from edge to edge so you get a bigger viewing area without having to carry a larger phone.
Facial recognition
You can register your face with the iPhone X so that it automatically unlocks when you look at it. We’ve seen this before in phones such as the Galaxy S8, but Apple says its face unlock uses 3-D imagery that’s even more secure. It says the new tech can’t be fooled by even a professionally made mask of your face and is more secure than fingerprint locks.
Animoji!
This ties into facial recognition but is fun enough that it deserves its own spot on the list. Apple developed new “Animoji” that allows you to create short clips of your own emotions and send them off as emojis to friends and family. Maybe you’ll make a silly face with the pig emoji, for example, Apple’s facial recognition tech will help the emoji resemble the exact expressions you’re making.
Wireless charging
The iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are the first iPhones to support wireless charging. Qi, the standard Apple chose, is typically very slow. But Apple has the power to bring wireless charging pads everywhere, from retailers to restaurants, and I suspect it’s about to take off now that it’s finally on an iPhone. Apple says it’s still working on perfecting some wireless tech, too, so perhaps it’ll be much faster when it launches.
Brand new cameras
The iPhone X has a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a second telephoto lens for zooming. Apple says it offers huge improvements over the cameras we saw in the iPhone 7 Plus, which was the first to offer a telephoto lens. Also expect to see less shaky videos, improved pictures in low light, and more. Also, a new front-facing “TrueDepth” camera is capable of taking those fancy portrait shots that debuted on the iPhone 7 Plus, which create a blurred background bokeh effect that looks much more professional.
iPhone X (iPhone 10) Price and Availability in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria
Although the iPhone X price is from $999.00 to $1,149.00 depending on the variant, official prices for countries like Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya are not yet known. For now, you can just convert into your local currency. Mfidie.com will update this post periodically.
