Photo: Sean Gallup/Getty Images When I was in film school, we still used actual film cameras for the first couple of semesters. And the first camera I used was a manually wound 16mm Bolex that featured three interchangeable lenses: a 50-mm telephoto lens, a 25-mm standard lens, and 10-mm wide-angle lens. If you look on the back of an iPhone 11 Pro, you’ll see three little lenses arranged at a triangle in the corner. Those lenses, small compared to the trio stuck on the front of my old Bolex, correlate almost perfectly with that classic camera’s hardware. The Pro boasts lenses rated at a 52-mm, 26-mm, and 13-mm focal length (the standard iPhone 11 has only the 26- and 13-millimeter lenses). In case you don’t know much about photography, I’ll cut to the chase: That’s amazing. A camera with a 13-mm focal length is considered very wide angle, which means it has a huge field of view. A lens with a longer focal length has a narrower field of view and more … [Read more...] about How the iPhone’s New Ultrawide Lens Actually Works (and When You Should Use It)

Taylor Swift has used facial recognition at concerts to screen for stalkers. Photo: Gareth Cattermole/TAS18/Getty Images for TAS/2018 Gareth Cattermole/TAS18 On Friday, August 16, at around 7 a.m., a pair of suspicious appliances was found on a subway platform at the Fulton Street station in lower Manhattan and, an hour later, a third near a garbage can on West 16th Street. Initially, police thought they might be improvised bombs, like the shrapnel-filled pressure cookers that blew up at the 2013 Boston Marathon and in Chelsea in 2016, but upon inspection they turned out to be harmless empty rice cookers, probably meant to scare but not explode. Trains were delayed during the morning commute, but since that happens often enough without any terrorist help at all, the scariest thing about this episode may have been the way the alleged perpetrator was caught. Minutes after the discovery, the NYPD pulled images of a man leaving the devices from subway surveillance cameras and gave them … [Read more...] about There Will Be No Turning Back on Facial Recognition

Photo: Neil Godwin/Future via Getty Images A couple of weeks ago, I was in the airport, about to get in the security line. My wife wanted to text me my digital ticket, which is a very normal task that should not have presented any difficulty. She tried. It didn’t work. We both had internet connections on our phones. I checked my phone, which informed me that I was unable to receive or send text messages. This is not something that normal people would ever encounter. For the next four days, when I was across the country for a wedding, I could not send or receive text messages. Anyone who tried to text me would have been texting into the void, a void I created out of curiosity and masochism. This is all because I put iMessage on my Android phone. iMessage is an infuriating tech scourge, a messaging protocol created by Apple that is intended to work exclusively on Apple devices. Because it is the default messaging system on iPhones, texts and, especially, group texts are … [Read more...] about How to Mess Up Your Life by Trying to Use iMessage on an Android Phone

Illustration: Robert Beatty This article was featured in One Great Story, New York’s reading recommendation newsletter. Sign up here to get it nightly. “The future is already here. It’s just not evenly distributed.” When the novelist William Gibson said this — probably in the late ’80s, though, like a lot of prophetic aphorisms, when he first said it is not exactly clear — he was describing distribution by place: iPhones arriving en masse in Steve Jobs’s United States, all-inclusive social-credit scores blanketing Xi Jinping’s China, antibiotic-resistant superbugs cropping up in India before spreading as far as the Arctic, climate change flooding the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh long before it conquers New York or Tokyo. But the distribution is uneven in time, too, because the future never arrives all at once with the thunderclap of a brave new world suddenly supplanting the comfortable old one. Which is why future-gazers like … [Read more...] about The Weirdness Is Coming
