Leaked images show that Redmi Note 6 may sport a notch on 6.18-inch display
After the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro, Xiaomi is reportedly working on its successor, the Redmi Note 6 and the Redmi Note 6 Pro that will bear a notch on the display.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Alistingon Aliexpress’ Russian website revealed a 6.18-inch LCD display Touch of Redmi Note 6. The display shows a notch which has space for a front-facing camera and proximity sensor. The notch is not present on the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro. The display was priced at 4,059.83 Rubles which come around Rs 4,000.
If the leaks are true, then the Redmi Note 6 would marginally be taller than the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro.
According to the e-commerce website, it is the official image of the screen and the digitiser, therefore confirming that a notch is on its way.
Recently, a Xiaomi phone wasspottedon FCC certification. The phone was codenamed MT1806E7TG. This rumoured to be either the Redmi Note 6 or the Redmi Note 6 Pro. The handsets could be running on MIUI 9. As pertipsterRoland Quandt, the latter might come with 3 GB and 4 GB RAM variants along with 32 GB and 64 GB, respectively. Moreover, there may be a 6 GB RAM variant also for the India and China market.
The Redmi Note 6 Pro may be priced from € 200 to €250 and may come in gold, blue, and black.
BA has not revealed any technical details about the breach, but cyber-security experts have some suggestions of possible methods used.
Names, email addresses and credit card details including card numbers, expiry dates and three-digit CVV codes were stolen by the hackers.
At first glance, the firm's statement appears to give no details about the hack, but by "reading between the lines", it is possible to infer some potential attack routes, says cyber-security expert Prof Alan Woodward at the University of Surrey.
Take BA's specification of the exact times and dates between which the attack occurred - 22:58 BST, 21 August 2018 until 21:45 BST, 5 September 2018 inclusive.
"They very carefully worded the statement to say anybody who made a card payment between those two dates is at risk," says Prof Woodward.
"It looks very much like the details were nabbed at the point of entry - someone managed to get a script on to the website."
This means that as customers typed in their credit card details, a piece of malicious code on the BA website or app may have been furtively extracting those details and sending them to someone else.
Prof Woodward points out that this is an increasing problem for websites that embed code from third-party suppliers - it's known as a supply chain attack.
Third parties may supply code to run payment authorisation, present ads or allow users to log into external services, for example.
Such an attack appeared to affect Ticketmaster recently, after an on-site customer service chatbot was labelled as the potential cause of a breach affecting up to 40,000 UK users.
Without further details, there is no way of knowing for sure if something similar has happened to BA. Prof Woodward points out it may just as easily have been a company insider who tampered with the website and app's code for malicious purposes.
Because CVV data, the three-digit security code on credit and debit cards, was also taken in the attack, it is indeed likely the details were lifted live, according to Robert Pritchard, a former cyber-security researcher at GCHQ and founder of private firm The Cyber Security Expert.

This is because CVV codes are not meant to be stored by companies, though they may be processed at payment time.
"This means it was either a direct compromise of their... booking site, or compromise of a third party provider," he told the BBC.
Prof Woodward added that private firms using third party code on their websites and apps must continually vet such products, to ensure weak points in security don't emerge.
"You can put the strongest lock you like on the front door," he said, "but if the builders have left a ladder up to a window, where do you think the burglars will go?"

The Galaxy S10 will be Samsung’s most ambitious smartphone in years. Concept pictured.CONCEPT CREATOR
The bearer of this bad news is The Bell, a consistently reliable site from Samsung’s home country of South Korea. In a new report, it confirms Samsung will limit the 5G capabilities built into Galaxy S10 to just one limited edition model of which production will be “negligible”.
The Bell specifies this as a maximum of 2 million units out of 40 million Galaxy S10 models produced in 2019. Pricing of the Galaxy S10+, the most expensive model, is also expected to be almost $1,000 so the 5G limited edition is likely to make it the most expensive mass-market phone Samsung has ever released.
And this carries significant repercussions.
While 5G networks will only start rolling out towards the end of this year, and certainly won’t be widespread when the Galaxy S10 launches in early 2019, they will scale rapidly as carriers battle one another to boast who has the best coverage. Given the Galaxy S10 will be a circa-$1,000 multi-year investment, buying such an expensive phone next year without 5G seems foolhardy.
When the Galaxy S4 (model I9500) launched in 2013, it lacked the upcoming LTE-Advanced 4G standard and Samsung then sold a ‘Galaxy S4 LTE-A’ edition (I9506) at a higher price later that year. Early Galaxy S4 buyers were not impressed.
So what would motivate Samsung not to strip 5G from the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ when both variants of chipset the company uses (Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and its own Exynos range) will be 5G-capable? I suspect the news that Apple’s reliance on Intel modems means it won’t have 5G-capable iPhones next year either.
But this is no way to do business. With Android rivals expected to leap aboard 5G in 2019, Samsung’s Galaxy S10 may well be left behind, and that would be a great shame. After all, a 10th-anniversary launch should showcase Samsung’s vision for the future, not restrict a phone to the past…

The iPhone 11 launch could be less than two weeks away
Apple's iPhone 11 – which is now looking likely to be called the iPhone XS – is set to launch on Wednesday, September 12 (that's next week!), after Apple sent out invites to its annual iPhone gathering at is California HQ.
Update:A huge iPhone leak suggests the iPhone 11 will actually be called the iPhone XS, as it'll simply be an incremental upgrade over the iPhone X.
The iPhone 11 is rumored to be arriving alongside two other iPhones, but exactly what they'll all be called - and offer - remains to be seen. For now, it's looking like we may get the iPhone 9, iPhone XS (aka the iPhone 11) and iPhone XS Plus (aka iPhone XS Max and iPhone 11 Plus).
So what new features will the iPhone 11 have, and will it still have a notch? Let's investigate what we expect from Apple's next flagship iPhone.
What is it? The iPhone 11 will be Apple's next flagship
When is it out? Launch is set for September 12, 2018
What will it cost? Likely the same price as last year's iPhone X
iPhone 11 release date
iPhone 11 launch date: September 12
iPhone 11 release date: Probably by the end of September
The iPhone 11 launch date is set for September 12. We know that because Apple has sent out invites to its annual iPhone gathering at its California-based HQ, and TechRadar will be reporting live from the event to bring you all the very latest from the firm.
September 12 is the iPhone 11 launch date we predicted a month ago, and it just goes to show that when it comes to iPhone launches, Apple is like clockwork.
As for the iPhone 11 pre-order date, one rumor from Germany suggests Apple will open it up on September 14.
Sure, the iPhone X took longer to ship, but that was rumored to be down to delays in producing components, so unless Apple wishes to artificially hold back the new X - possibly to create demand - chances are the iPhone 11 will appear in stores from September 2018.
Indeed, it's rumored that Apple might begin trial production of the iPhone 11 in the second quarter of 2018, which is earlier than usual and said to be precisely to prevent the delays we saw last year.
iPhone 11 price
A lot, likely around the same as the iPhone X: $999 (£999, AU$1,579)
Even without the official iPhone 11 price, we know it'll cost a lot. After all, Apple priced the iPhone X starting at $999 (£999, AU$1,579). We could see identical prices for the iPhone 11.
Apple reportedly managed to reduce the cost of some components by 10% - a saving which could be passed on to buyers. It may also quit bundling a headphone adaptor with its new phones to further reduce costs, some analyst predict.
But we're not holding out for a cheap iPhone 11. Instead, Apple may be planning to release a phone with many of the iPhone X’s features at a lower price, alongside a premium model, according to multiple sources.
We're calling this the iPhone 9 for now, and it may have a cheaper LCD display. It's an intriguing proposition, though early adopters are likely still going to be more interested in the iPhone 11.
iPhone 11 video renders
Apple's premium iPhone for 2018 is rumored to come in two sizes (an iPhone XS and iPhone XS Plus/Max), and video renders of what the iPhone XS Plus/Max version may look like hit the web a while back.
This version in these CAD schematics acquired by MySmartPrice and OnLeaks are said to be based on iPhone with a 6.5-inch screen, while the normal-sized iPhone 11 may get a 5.8-inch OLED display size we saw with the iPhone X.
iPhone 11 battery
Hottest leaks:
iPhone 11 tipped to get a 10% bigger battery
Fast charger may be included in the box
Kuo also claims the 5.8-inch model may have a roughly 10% larger battery than the iPhone X, while the 6.5-inch model might have a battery of around 3,300/3,400mAh, which would be roughly a 25% size increase.
iPhone 11 camera and performance
Hottest leaks:
Dual rear cameras set to feature
Face ID and Animoji rumored to continue to be front camera only
Ming-Chi Kuo has said that Apple probably won’t put a version of the TrueDepth camera used for Face ID and Animoji on the back of the phone, however he believes the iPhone 11 will feature dual rear cameras.
The iPhone 11 might have an even smarter front-facing camera than the iPhone X, as an Apple patent points to a single-lens camera system that can sense depth as well as a dual-lens one, though this may well not be ready in time for the next iPhone, if it comes at all.
iPhone 11 design
Hottest leaks:
A new, fourth color option: gold
Stainless steel frame, likely wrapped in glass
Ming-Chi Kuo has said the iPhone 11 will boast a stainless steel frame, which makes sense as that's what pretty much every iPhone has been built on.
There's no word on what material will sandwich the frame, but we expect Apple to continue with the glass finish it used on the iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus.
Another Kuo report also claims there will be a new color for the iPhone 11. He believes Apple will offer the iPhone 11 in black, white and gold. We haven't seen a gold shade of iPhone since the iPhone SE back in 2016.
