The production of Apple&rsquo;s upcoming smartphone, the iPhone 12, has reportedly been hit by the pandemic and probably won&rsquo;t be able to make it for a September launch. According to a Nikkei Asian Review report, the California-based tech giant is running one to two months behind schedule, mostly due to faster mmWave 5G components.

However, the report adds, Apple has "aggressively tried to cut delays&rdquo; to prevent it from being postponed to next year.

A more dangerous and powerful malware has resurfaced after three years that targets Android devices using SMS phishing messages to steal confidential information. FakeSpy uses messages that are designed to look like those from legitimate postal and delivery services all over the world. Clicking on such links downloads malicious code onto the Android device that installs the FakeSpy malware. Once users open the infected app and grant permissions, it steals valuable information, such as phone number, financial data, bank login information, app data, contact lists, and more. Researchers suspect a Chinese group, called &ldquo;Roaming Mantis&rdquo;, to be behind the attack.

This would help prevent &ldquo;digitally induced biases&rdquo; and help determine if companies have &ldquo;explainable&rdquo; AI. The proposed rules also mandate the appointment of an e-commerce regulator and ask companies to turn over stored data within 72 hours of a request. The online platforms would also have to identify a product&rsquo;s country of origin and also provide sellers&rsquo; contact information. Bloomberg said the draft policy will be open to comment online before it&rsquo;s formalised.

The app combines the features of most social media apps to connect and chat with friends and use in-app filters to post creative images.
