At this year’s much-awaited tech event, Apple released three iPhones along with a host of other Apple gadgets including an iPad and a new Apple Watch series. At their flagship event on September 10, the tech giant released the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. These latest iPhone models have been expected to deliver advanced performance to those who want the best from their smartphones. The new iPhones boast a stunning display, a powerful A13 Bionic chip, and a cutting-edge three-camera system, which is a very first for the iPhone. Moreover, the new iPhones are available in a fresh palette of colors and are powered by longer battery life. The new iPhones are available for pre-order from September 13, and available in stores from September 20. Here are some of the basic things to know about iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Upgraded display The iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch LCD display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, True Tone, 1792x828 pixels, 1,400:1 contrast ratio, 79.0% screen-to-body ratio, and Dolby Vision / HDR10. Comparatively, the iPhone 11 Pro has a slightly smaller screen size with 5.8-inch OLED display. Similar to iPhone 11, the Pro also has True Tone, Dolby Vision / HDR10, and the same aspect ratio. The screen resolution, however, is more at 2436 x 1125 pixels with 2000000:1 contrast ratio. Thus, the Pro has double the aspect ratio with 15% more efficiency. Furthermore, the screen-to-body ratio is 82.1%. The iPhone Pro Max is larger than the other two phones with a display size of 6.5 inches. The resolution of Pro Max is also higher at 2688 x 1242 pixels with a screen-to-body ratio of 84.4%. Heavier design Compared to their earlier versions, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are heavier. The iPhone 11 Pro measures 144 x 71.4 x 8.1 mm (5.67 x 2.81 x 0.32 in) and weighs 188 g (6.63 oz). The earlier version, iPhone XS measured 5.7x2.79x0.3 in and weighed 174 g (6.14 oz). The Pro Max measures 158 x 77.8 x 8.1 mm (6.22 x 3.06 x 0.32 inches) and weighs 226 grams (7.97 oz.). The earlier version iPhone XS Max measured nearly the same but at a lower weight of 7.3 oz. or 208 g. However, the iPhone 11 is nearly the same as iPhone XR at 5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33 in and weighs 194 g (6.84 oz). Another difference between iPhone 11 and the Pro is the material of the chassis; the iPhone 11 has an aluminum chassis while the Pro, as well as Pro Max, has a stainless-steel chassis. Also, the iPhone 11 has retained the glass back of the earlier versions, while the Pro and Pro Max have a matte finish, thus far lesser smudges. All the three phones have screens with a rating of IP68 for water resistance for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 4 meters. Furthermore, the color palette of the finishes is quite wide. The iPhone 11 is available in six colors— Product (Red), black, white, yellow, green, and purple. The iPhone Pro and Pro Max are available in toned-down shades of space grey, silver, midnight green, and gold. Camera Apple has stepped up its game with an ultra-new camera system in the new iPhones. The iPhone 11 sports a two-camera system with a primary camera and an ultrawide camera, while iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max has a three-camera system with primary, ultrawide, and telephoto camera. The cameras are grouped in a rectangular hump in the back. While considering aesthetics, the rectangular camera humps may look bulky, but the phones promise to deliver high-definition and high-intensity photos, whether shot in daylight or at night. Also, the phones have a brighter True Tone flash than the previous iPhones. The specs of the cameras are as follows:

• Front Camera: 12MP ‘TrueDepth’ module, f/2.2 aperture
• Primary Camera: 12 MP, f/1.8 aperture, 26mm, 4K 60fps video
• Ultrawide Camera: 12 MP, f/2.4 aperture, 13mm
• Telephoto Camera: 12 MP, f/2.0 aperture, 52mm (telephoto), 2x optical zoom

A notable feature of the latest iPhones is the ability of the ultrawide camera that let users shoot action videos. Moreover, the primary camera lets users shoot videos in 4K. Despite multiple cameras, the phones have the feature of easily zooming between each of the cameras. Another first for the latest iPhones is that they let users record videos without switching out of Photo Mode with a simple feature known as QuickTake. Performance The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone Pro Max come loaded with Apple’s new A13 Bionic chipset. This chipset has been known to have the fastest CPU and GPU ever in a smartphone; thus, making the new iPhones powerfully efficient. Additionally, the A13 chip is far more energy-saving than the previous A12 chipset, at nearly 40%. This gives a big boost to battery life. Battery life One of the most important positive points of Apple’s 2019 iPhones is their long battery life. The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max can reportedly last for “4 hours” more than the previous version of iPhone, that is iPhone XS; the iPhone 11 runs 1 hour longer than the iPhone XS. The battery specs are as follows:

• iPhone 11 - 3110 mAh

When it comes to window treatments, the number of options in terms of styles and features has increased with time. While buying window blinds for yourself these options are what you will have to choose from. Hence, it is better to have a bit of research done first. The window blinds are generally hard treatments for windows that are made of slats or vanes, which can be adjusted by manual cords, wands or other control systems. The blinds are wonderfully adjustable as the slats are capable of holding light from entering the room, according to your preference and also provide enough privacy within the room. Just pull them up and stack them on top of the window to get an unobstructed view whenever you feel like.

• Deciding on the size or width of the slat is the first thing you need to think about before buying window blinds. The most popular slat is the ½ inch slat because of the contemporary feel it gives to the home. The ones with 1-inch slats are slightly less expensive than the other wider ones. For an old-fashioned look, a wider slat is preferred for the window blinds
• The most preferred window blinds for wide windows and sliding glass doors are the vertical blinds. They are a wise choice because of the stacking up style on the sides instead of the top of the window. An aluminum vertical blind is the most demanded blind under this category as that works best in modern environments.
• It is necessary to keep in mind your preference of the stacking style of the blinds; whether you want it to stack up on the top of the window or on the sides or bottom is a very important choice. For sliding doors, stacking on the sides would be a smart choice.

Consider the weight of each slat and keep in mind the materials that are used for the manufacturing of the blinds for better selection. You should be comfortable with your interiors and only then the blinds will be utilized at their best.

Monk prayer beads are similar to most other spiritual beads used across religions and spiritualities. These malas are known as “threngwa” in Tibetan. Prayer beads help you focus on your chants when you’re meditating. They also help you keep count of the number of times you chanted a sacred verse or the name(s) of a deity. Here are three key things you should know about prayer beads: Uses of prayer beads One of the major reasons why monk prayer beads are used is to improve your focus and awareness during meditation. Long malas consist of 108 beads along with one guru or “mother” bead. This special bead signifies the relationship between a spiritual teacher and the student. A single mala is ideal for the recitation of a spiritual verse 100 times. Following this, you can do many more recitations so that your focus is sharpened. In Tibetan Buddhism—and many other religions—prayer beads consisting of 108 counting beads are held while meditating. You might also notice various marker beads, which divide the mala into quadrants. Significance of the number 108 Most Eastern religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism consider the number 108 sacred. For the same reason, monk prayer beads usually have 108 beads and one guru bead. Reciting the mantra 108 times on the mala is said to help you focus on the meaning and sound of each word, thereby enabling you to have a more fulfilling and enriching meditation session. Taking care of prayer beads The most important way to care for any spiritual object, such as a book or instrument, is to prevent them from touching the ground. So make sure that the prayer beads are placed on a surface that is higher up from the ground. Remember to tidy them regularly with a clean cloth. Make sure to remove your prayer beads before bathing as moisture can weaken their cord. It is also ideal to remove the beads before going to sleep to avoid accidentally breaking them. For safekeeping, place the prayer beads in small pouches. This way, they are protected at all times.

The eye, like any other organ of the body, is prone to may diseases: some degenerative and some as a consequence of another disease. The eye has a two-part lid with long lashes. The frequent closing and opening of the eyes in conjunction with tears keeps the eye clear and lubricated. They close as a reflex action to prevent entry of foreign articles. Some of the common conditions affecting the eye have symptoms of more serious conditions, which can cause a total loss of vision if neglected. It would be prudent to take any symptom which persists unabated for more than three days seriously and consult an eye specialist or ophthalmologist. Quite complex surgical procedures are often undertaken in the eye. Eye Strain Like any other organ, the eyes also get strained with continuous use. Anyone who works continuously on a computer, reads for hours together without a break, or long-distance drivers have all experienced this. As a rule, overnight sleep should set it right. The soreness persisting beyond a few days certainly warrants consulting an ophthalmologist. Red Eye The external wall of the eye, sclera, is highly vascular. Any irritation leads to the engorgement of the vessels on the sclera, the white of eye. If the entire eyeball is persistently red, it indicates an infection or allergy. Conjunctivitis can also cause this. Besides photophobia, sand in the eye sensation, and scum formation in the corners are also common. In severe cases, the lids may be stuck together in the mornings. If over-the-counter eye drops and rest do not aid in getting rid of the problem, consult an ophthalmologist. Night Blindness Only low light and vision in darkness are affected. This indeed has serious implications for everybody who has to drive in night and low-light conditions. Cataract, lack of vitamin A, near sightedness and keratoconus are the common reasons for this and these are treatable. Rarely is it congenital or the consequence of certain retinal degenerative diseases, in which case they are incurable and one has to learn to live with the condition. Cross Eye or Strabismus This is the condition of the eyes not being aligned. When one is looking at something, the eye will be looking elsewhere. This needs to be corrected by an ophthalmologist. Many of the eye disease symptoms are common, with the initial ones being more serious. Early diagnosis of these makes the prognosis much better, while delays can prove to be very costly in more than one sense. It is better to err on the side of caution in these matters.
