We’ve all been hearing about the Poco M7 Pro 5G, and recently it was spotted on the Singaporean certification website IMDA alongside the Xiaomi Pad 7. Now, it has appeared on an Indonesian certification website called SDPPI.

Here is what we found

Poco M7 Pro 5G SDPPI

The device is listed with the model number “2409FPCC4G”, where ‘G’ represents the Global variant. The certification also reveals that it was approved on 18th October 2024. Normally, the moniker is shown in this certification, but it is currently missing. However, an earlier IMEI database had already revealed that this model number belongs to the Poco M7 Pro 5G.

Apart from this, the certification doesn’t provide much information about the specs it may come with. However, an earlier sighting on the FCC revealed some key details about this upcoming smartphone. Through that listing, we learnt that it may come with connectivity options like NFC, LTE, Bluetooth, WiFi, and 5G NR bands. It is also expected to run on HyperOS 1.0 and may come with at least 128GB of internal storage space.

Furthermore, as per a report by 91Mobiles, it is speculated to be a rebranded version of the recently launched Redmi Note 14 5G. The only difference being, instead of three cameras, it may come with only two. Also, it was spotted on the EEC certification, which also hints towards its European launch as well.

It has been more than two months now that we have been hearing about this smartphone. So hopefully, we may soon hear news about it breaking cover.

Apple has announced changes to its Business Connect service, now allowing businesses of all sizes and types to use the platform, including those without physical locations. The service lets verified businesses manage their appearance across Apple’s apps, which are used by over a billion people.

David Dorn, Apple’s senior director of Internet Software and Services Product, stated, “We designed Business Connect to enable businesses to present accurate information to Apple users. With today’s updates, we’re extending this capability to more businesses.”

New features in the expanded service include:

1. Branded Mail: Businesses can display their name and logo in emails sent to customers through Apple’s Mail app. This feature is available for sign-up now, with logo display expected later this year.
2. Tap to Pay on iPhone Logo Display: Companies can show their logo instead of a category icon when accepting payments via Tap to Pay on iPhone.
3. Business Caller ID: Planned for next year, this will show a business’s name, logo, and department on incoming call screens.

These additions build on existing features introduced last year, which allowed businesses to customize their place cards in apps like Apple Maps and Wallet with photos, logos, action links, and promotions.

The expansion of Business Connect to include service providers and online-only businesses represents a change in Apple’s approach to business integration within its ecosystem. This move may affect how businesses interact with customers through Apple’s platforms and could influence digital brand management strategies.

As per Apple’s support page currently, two types of entities can use Apple Business Connect

• Company/Organization: Your company or organization. You directly manage how your brand appears to customers.
• Third-Party Partner/Agency: A data provider or data manager who works on your behalf on how your brand appears to customers.

Meta has announced Movie Gen, a new generative AI research for media, including image, video, and audio. This technology represents Meta’s third wave of generative AI work and offers four main capabilities: video generation from text inputs, personalized video creation, precise video editing, and audio generation.

The core of Movie Gen is a 30B parameter transformer model for video generation, capable of creating 16-second videos at 16 frames per second. For audio, a separate 13B parameter model can generate up to 45 seconds of synchronized audio for videos. These models can create videos from text prompts, combine a user’s image with a text prompt for personalized videos, allow precise edits based on text inputs, and generate synchronized audio including ambient sound, sound effects, and instrumental background music.

According to Meta, Movie Gen outperforms similar models in human evaluations and achieves state-of-the-art results in personalized video creation and audio generation. The development of these models required innovations in architecture, training objectives, data recipes, evaluation protocols, and inference optimizations. They were trained on a combination of licensed and publicly available datasets.

Meta acknowledges that the current models have limitations. The company plans to work on decreasing inference time and improving quality in future iterations. They also intend to collaborate with filmmakers and creators to gather feedback and refine the technology.

Potential applications for Movie Gen include animating “day in the life” videos for Reels and creating customized animated greetings. However, Meta emphasizes that this technology is not meant to replace artists and animators. Instead, it’s designed to provide new creative tools and opportunities for a wide range of users, from aspiring filmmakers to casual content creators.

Meta views Movie Gen as a step towards making advanced video and audio creation tools more accessible, potentially enabling users to bring their artistic visions to life in new ways. However, they also recognize the need for continued development and refinement of the technology.
