Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.
New Pen-Based 'Modbook Pro' Tablet Launching in Early Fall
Five and a half years ago, a company by the name of Axiotron unveiled the Modbook, a MacBook that had been converted into a pen-based tablet by repackaging the internals into a new casing to yield the one-piece tablet form factor. Two years later, Axiotron introduced the Modbook Pro based on a similar concept, but delays in delivering its products ultimately led Axiotron to fade away.
Earlier this year, one of Axiotron's founders returned with a new company carrying the Modbook name, and today the company is announcing the new generation of Modbook Pro products.
The Modbook Pro components connect to the original MacBook Pro through one of its two USB 3.0 ports, with the entire assembly being enclosed in a new casing for an integrated OS X-based tablet solution that also supports Windows 7.
The Modbook Pro is scheduled to launch in "early fall 2012", with pricing and retail partners yet to be announced.

Built from a unique enclosure conversion kit, the Modbook Pro incorporates and completely encases the original hardware of a new Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-inch base system. Its Wacom digitizer delivers 512 levels of pen pressure sensitivity — more than any other tablet computer on the market. And its ForceGlass screen provides an etched, paper-emulating drawing surface.
The result is a sleek tablet computer run by a powerful Mac base system, with a highly sensitive pen interface and a natural drawing surface, all fused into one device you can take with you and use anywhere.

Is this legal? I thought Mac OS couldn't be licensed.
Who said anything about licensing? It IS a 13.3" MBP.

Well this is interesting. I wonder how Apple will react to this.
Likely the same as last time.
Not at all.

This runs on Mac hardware. They literally take a Macbook Pro and modify it.

This is simply a repackaging of an actual Macbook, so I presume it's perfectly legal. Once you buy original hardware, you can do any mod you want including selling it.

Why did they base it on the Macbook Pro and not the Air? It would have been great, especially on the 11" version.

This is along the lines of what the iPad should be. I don't want a different operating system. I want a MacOSX/Classic/Rosetta/iOS all in one in the iPad tablet form factor with both finger and pressure sensitive pen.
Apple's really missing out on this one. The iPad is a natural for working with Photoshop and Illustrator. Not the dumb downed crippled versions of drawing software they have for the iPad but the real thing.
This is why the x86 Surface has a chance.

I think Apple should put a stop to products like this. It damages the brand is confusing to many people who may think this is an Apple product.
Should car companies also ban others from taking stock cars they make and modifying them into other vehicles?
Often retuning the engine, better brakes, changing the suspension.
They make stretch limo's this way taking a stock car, cutting it in half and customising it into a new vehicle.
Bullet proof cars also.
Ambulances also used to be stock vans that came of the production line and went to a customiser company.
