The official news today begin with deals as you could expect, and don’t worry, we got rid of the obvious ones given how Apple is just about to refresh some of its lineups. Let’s start with the M1 MacBook Air which is now 100 dollars off, leaving the half a terabyte of storage variant for 1149 bucks. Moving on to B&H for a second, they have the OnePlus Nord N10 for 20 dollars off, leaving the entry level model for 280 bucks shipped. The Google Nest Audio is also getting the same discount leaving it at 80 dollars. Now for those of you interested in reminiscing over the most horrible notch in history, we have you covered. The Pixel 3 XL is 300 dollars off, leaving that for 500 bucks shipped.. Which yeah, might not necessarily scream new phone in so many ways. Finally, those Samsung Spring deals that I know you guys love are still available, leaving the S21 for 100 bucks, the S21+ for 300 and the Ultra for 500, if you have a device for trade-in.

NVIDIA and MediaTek join hands to bring RTX graphics to Chromebooks

Let’s move on to NVIDIA as, yes, we’re going through a chip shortage, and yet the company made a ton of announcements yesterday. Probably the most interesting one is that they will return to make ARM-based processors, which I know, is confusing since they make the chip for the Nintendo Switch. Anyways, this will be called the NVIDIA Grace but it’s not for everyone, unless you’re planning to buy an AI datacenters at some point. However, they also announced that they are partnering up with MediaTek, “to create a reference platform supporting Chromium, Linux and NVIDIA SDKs”. Basically by creating this SDK they might eventually bring GeForce RTX graphics to Chromebooks. MediaTek’s CEO mentions that this partnership will also bring GPU acceleration to the ARM-PC ecosystem, allowing for a boost to the gaming and content creation prowess of these machines while NVIDIA claims they want to create a “new class of notebooks powered by an ARM-based CPU and an NVIDIA RTX GPU. So yeah, we’ll keep you posted on any announcements they make in the future, as that combo is far more interesting on our book.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE leaked renders reveal glastic back, flat display and more

Now, let’s shift the spotlight on to Samsung for a couple of segments this time, starting with the . You’ve gotta admit that the S20 FE that Samsung launched last year was probably one of their most successful products. I’m not saying it was the best one, but it was proof that just enough flagship features at an aggressive price can even give OnePlus a run for its money. We thought the S21 would fill in those shoes this year, but nope.. There’s gonna be an S21 Fan edition it seems. These new images come from OnLeaks, showing off the S21 FE in a “Pacific Blue”-like color variant if you know what I mean. It brings a glastic rear panel but it will reportedly still bring a metal frame. At the front you can expect a 6.4-inch Infinity O display which is slightly bigger than the regular S21. At the back we also have that same triple camera setup we got with the S21 but, it’ll most likely bring downgraded lenses to make the price tag go down. We don’t have much information on what specs we can expect but, the price tag will reportedly be somewhere around 700 bucks, which is why I say that S21 seemed to be it.. We’ll see.

Samsung might borrow game-changing camera tech from iPhone 12 Pro Max

Let’s keep talking about the Samsung but moving all the way up to the Galaxy S22 Ultra and its camera. Notice what time of year it is, and no Galaxy Note rumors.. Which definitely just reminds us that the next flagship is definitely a year away. Last year, Apple introduced sensor-shifting image stabilization with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is actually the in-body stabilization we currently have with mirrorless cameras like the A7SIII that I use for this video. Well, it looks like Samsung might adopt this exact technology as well. According to a new report from Galaxy Club, “Samsung is experimenting with the technology for one of their upcoming phones. Now of course, the report doesn’t explicitly mention the S22 Ultra but other than that, the only major candidate would be the Z Fold 3 if they end up skipping the Note, and the Z Fold has never been Ultra about cameras. If you don’t know how this technology works, it basically makes the whole sensor move around when the accelerometer detects shaky hand movements, which serves not just for video stabilization, but also for sharper photography when taking stills on the go. We’re not exactly sure if this is that whole possible partnership that Samsung is reportedly gonna do with Olympus, since their Micro Four Thirds cameras include this. Let’s see how it goes in the end as the S21 Ultra has already proven to be one of the best cameras of the year.

Story of the day:

Apple announces the date for its April event: What to expect?

And finally, and I’m going to be saying finally a lot in this segment, for the hottest news today let’s talk about Apple. Last night we had a leak from non other than Siri, where if you asked her when Apple’s next event was, she would tell you April 20th but there were no invites, and Apple’s website showed nothing. Well, now after tons of missed leaks and speculations, we have an official invite for an event happening at 10AM Pacific on April 20th with the caption “Spring Loaded”. And with the amount of products we’re expecting, it actually does sound loaded. Doing a little bit of a recap, we’re expecting AirTags to finally be released after almost 2 years of leaks. We should be getting new iPad Pros that feature mini-LED displays, along with an iPad mini that should be getting a larger display on a similar chassis. I would also really love for that iPad mini Pro to become a reality here by the way, but the rumors seem to make that far fetched. Other than that, another product that might not happen at this event is the third generation AirPods. They’re reportedly going into production until Q3, even if the black market already has the leaked design on sale. Finally, the redesigned iMac might also make an appearance here and that might also mean that we’re getting some new Apple Silicon chips, but with the chip shortage, who knows. Of course, we’re just speculating here but., what Apple products are you waiting for?

ASUS ROG Phone 5 to launch on March 10

Moving on to the ASUS ROG Phone 5 and yes, they’ll be pulling a OnePlus and skipping the number 4. For the past couple of weeks we’ve been getting a ton of leaks and rumors, including Geekbench listings and teasers from the company. Now when you go to the ASUS ROG Phone 5 landing page, it has a countdown that ends in 18 days and 20 hours at the time when Diego was writing the script. So yes, we’ll be getting this phone on March 10 at 6:00AM ET. The ROG Phone 5 is tipped to bring a 6.78 inch display, powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC, 8GB or 16GB of RAM, a 6000 mAh battery, running on Android 11. According to the leaks we should also be getting a dot matrix display on the rear panel, kind of like the panel you get on some ROG Gaming Laptops. We don’t have any price tags just yet, but we hope ASUS surprises us with some wow factors as, is it just me or it sounds kind of boring?

Malware targeting Apple’s new M1 Macs has already been spotted in the wild

Let’s talk about Apple Silicon Macs but, not for the reasons you would typically expect. We have a new report from a Mac security researcher cited by Wired, that explains in detail how malware is being adapted and recompiled to run natively on M1 Macs. He discovered the first one to be a Safari Extension called “GoSearch22” which was originally written to run on x86 Intel Macs. As they usually do, it presents itself as a regular Safari extension but, it collects your data and serves you a ton of banners and pop up ads, including ones that link you to malicious websites with malware. Now, the writer mentions that since malware is still at an early stage, antivirus scanners are not detecting the malware as easily and effectively as they do on Intel Macs as most of the tools haven’t been adapted or are simply not available just yet. Of course, all of this is bound to change as Apple expands their line-up.. Hopefully very soon.. And developers start patching these up and bringing antivirus software. We’ll make sure to link to the report in the description as, it’s still pretty interesting.

OnePlus 9 Pro might use an LTPO display to enable adaptive refresh rate

Let’s talk about the OnePlus 9 Series as, we’re getting pretty close to it. So far, the leaks for the OnePlus 9 have been kind of calm, I mean of course we had the design heavily leaked last week but for the other features, things have been kinda quiet. Now, we have a new tweet from Max Jambor that shines some light on what we could expect from the 9 Pro’s display. In his typical fashion, he didn’t share much on the tweet but it brings an image with the words, 9 Pro LTPO, on top of a display that looks like it’s scrolling at a high refresh rate. This also means that we should expect the 9 Pro to feature adaptive refresh rate like we get on the Galaxy S21 Series. For those of you who don’t know, this feature uses software to automatically change your refresh rate, depending on what you’re doing with the phone and giving you better battery life in the process. According to the guys over at PhoneArena, Jambor also confirmed that the regular OnePlus 9 won’t bring this feature, but it should still bring 120Hz. Now, according to surveys on OnePlus fans, they like their display permanently set at 120Hz so, this might be kind of a turn off for them but I mean, high refresh rate, better battery life.. Sounds good to me.

Story of the day:

Apple reportedly locks March 16 event to launch new iPads, and possibly, AirTags too!

And finally, for the hottest news today let’s talk Apple, as we’re just a few days away from March and we’re expecting to get a lot of products at this March Event. We have a new report from Korea’s Economic Daily News that claims that Cupertino will be having their Event Virtually on March 16th. Now, Apple has recently been doing this event a little later but, this date actually makes sense. See, according to the report the main focus here will be the new iPad Pros, and the original iPad Pro was announced on March 18 back in the day. Speaking of that iPad Pro, the report mentions that we shouldn’t expect a complete redesign, pretty much like what the leaks have pointed out but, this iPad could finally bring mini-LED displays and it will most likely be the first 5G iPad. And along with 5G we could also be getting additional built in magnets for new accessories. Apparently we could also be getting a new iPad mini which could be getting a larger display by shrinking down the bezels, at least to the older iPad Air’s level of course. The report also mentions that we could get a One More Thing moment to Tag along with.. AirTags. These trackers have been on the leaks since 2019 and according to trusted sources, they’re finally set to release. Other tipsters claim that we could also get new AirPods but, those rumors are kinda shaky.

New 13-inch MacBook Pro with new Apple Silicon is jaw dropping

Posted on by Samuel Martinez

Apple’s latest “One more thing” event has finally introduced new Apple Silicon powered devices. The new lineup includes a new MacBook Air, a new Mac mini, and an upgrade to one of Apple’s bestselling laptops, the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the new Apple M1 chip comes with an amazing boost in speed and power. Compared to the previous model, we get 3X faster performance, 5X faster graphics. Apple’s most advanced Neural Engine also allows 11X faster machine learning performance, and it also includes a new active cooling system to sustain the laptop’s blazing-fast performance.

TO make things even better, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro will deliver up to 20 hours on battery life, which is the longest in any Mac ever, if you only stick to watching videos. However, the hour count drops to 17 hours of wireless web browsing, which is also something to celebrate.

Other upgrades include studio-quality mics with improved signal to noise ratio, sharper video with less grain, and it will all look even better on its Retina Display, which makes images take an incredible level of detail and realism, which will also deliver 500 nits of brilliance, 25 percent more colors than sRGB and True Tone technology which will automatically adjust to your environment to give users better viewing experiences.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip also features Big Sur’s Secure Enclave, which will get users best-in-class security features like Activation Lock to protect your Mac if it’s ever lost or stolen. The new laptop will include two Thunderbolt 3 ports with USB 4 support. The best part is that it will still fit in the same portable 3-pound design.

If you’re interested in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, you can get one starting at $1,299 and just $1,199 for education. It is now available for purchase, and they will all be available next week, with macOS BigSur arriving in only two days.

AMD unveils Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors, arriving on November 5

Now let’s talk about AMD, particularly because of how the company continues to make Intel look bad lately. The company revealed their latest line up of processors with the Ryzen 5000 Series. These are built with their new Zen 3 architecture and they are based on a 7nm process. We’re not going to get into too much technical detail but, their new Ryzen 9 5950X brings 16 Cores, and it has a boost frequency of 4.9GHz, and the company claims that this is the highest single thread performance in the market, we’ll have to wait for Linus to confirm that after he segues from his sponsor. It offers a 26% performance improvement over the Ryzen 3000 Series and they claim 21% higher performance than Intel’s top of the line Core i9.. The processors start at $299 with the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600X and the decked out 5950X will cost you $799. All of the 4 new processors will be available on November 5th. All I can say is that it’s amazing how tables get turned over time, as there was a time where AMD wouldn’t dream of catching up to Intel.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 teardown reveals liquid metal cooling and an ingenious stand

And now it’s time to talk Sony, particularly with the company’s PS5. They’re not pulling any punches as the company published an official teardown of the console a couple of days ago. Let’s just start off by saying, this thing is huge, like huge. At the front you get a single USB Type A and a USB type C port but, you get two USB A ports with SuperSpeed at the back, an Ethernet Port, an HDMI and of course, the power port. It also has a PCIe 4.0 port on the inside for future storage expansion. It has air vents up front and the whole back is an exhaust port. You can remove the screwable base to set it horizontally and the white sides are removable as well. Now, the thing that probably made the most buzz is the cooling, you got a huge fan at the top of the console which draws from both sides and more importantly the liquid metal cooling which is close to the SoC under the casing and other layers. We highly recommend you watch the complete teardown if you’re planning on purchasing as, he goes into detail on the GPU, CPU, the heatsink and pretty much everything you need to know about the hardware. A lot of people are concerned on the liquid cooling so, we’ll see how it ages.

OnePlus will launch two TWS earbuds next week, and here’s your first look at one of them

Here’s your first official look at the OnePlus 8T design ahead of its launch

OnePlus 8T leaked renders reveal Lunar Silver and Aquamarine Green color options

Now, the OnePlus 8T isn’t the only thing we’re waiting on from OnePlus, apparently we’re getting two new True Wireless Earbuds. And, remember that joke I made on them not looking like the AirPods and looking like the AirPods Pro? Well… We have some new leaked renders from XDA of the OnePlus Buds Z which were recovered from an APK file. The leaks show off the white variant for these Buds and well, yeah. They look like the AirPods Pro, they even bring the ear tips, probably the only difference is that the back of the EarBud is the same one on the regular OnePlus Buds. The casing is also shorter and wider, with the OnePlus logo at the top and a USB-C port at the back. OnePlus also fully revealed themselves the official design for the 8T. It brings the leaked Aquamarine color variant with the stove at the back and like usual, it looks kind of better than what we got from the renders before. Sadly, they didn’t show the front of the phone but, that doesn’t matter as we now have some CAD renders for the phone from a reliable tipster showing both sides. It brings the updated camera module that OnePlus leaked yesterday and the punch hole at the front. From these renders you can kind of see that the bezels are somewhat smaller. These renders also reveal another color variant which will reportedly be dubbed Lunar Silver. Let me know what you think about this design as, it looks kind of Galaxy S20ish to me.

Apple is working on two AirPods Studio variants, but they won’t debut next week

Now let’s talk Apple as while we were sleeping, Jon Prosser was hard at work tweeting a ton of details on Apple’s upcoming event but more of what we’re not getting from the event. First off, he mentioned that DigiTimes was right to say that the iPhones that will be available in October are going to be the 6.1 iPhone 12 and the 6.1 12 Pro, the 12 Mini and the Pro Max will be the ones launched until November. He also said that the starting price for the Mini is $649 after all, according to his source. After that he said that AirPods Studio have not completed mass production so they will be left out from the event. However, he did give us a price tag, apparently the luxury variant made out of metal and leather will cost $599 but don’t worry, there is a sport-like variant with cheaper materials for $350. And, let’s stay on that negative note for a bit as, he also said that AirTags have been pushed back, at least until March of 2021 so, it looks like another AirPower case but we hope it doesn’t turn into that because they do look interesting. But finally, let’s get to availability, he still stands by the dates he gave us previously with pre-orders beginning on October 16th and they will be in stores by October 23rd for the 12 and 12 Pro. But hold on, we have more in the next segment.

Story of the day:

Massive Apple leak reveals almost everything about the iPhone 12 series

But alright, for the hottest news today, get some pop corn as we have a huge leak from Weibo of everything else you want to know for this Apple Event. Of course we should take all of these leaks with a grain of salt but let’s begin. Apparently the company is going to begin the event with the HomePod Mini which will be a 3.3in speaker with their S5 Processor, it will be priced at $99 and it will be available on November 6th. After that, they’re not losing any time and going straight to the iPhone 12. They’ll begin with the 5.4in 12 Mini which according to him, will start at $699. Then they’re moving on to the 6.1in iPhone 12 which will start at $799. Moving on to the Pros, the 6.1in will start at $999 and will get a new graphite and blue color variant. The 12 Pro Max will start at $1099 with those same colors. All of these will be 5G models and the US variants will bring mmWave. The 12 and the 12 Mini will start at 64GB of storage and go up to 256GB while the Pros will start at 128GB and go up to 512GB. All of them will bring Super Retina XDR displays, a new Magsafe 15W wireless charging and all phones are Dolby Vision capable. They will also use a Smart Data Mode to save power by only using the 5G power for heavy duty apps. Moving on to the cameras, he claims the source isn’t too clear on this one. The 12 and the 12 Mini will bring dual cameras with the main sensor and an ultra wide so, basically the iPhone 11. Deep Fusion and Smart HDR are both getting upgrades. The Pros will bring a triple camera array with the main sensor, the ultra wide a telephoto and a LiDAR sensor, they reportedly bring up to 5x optical zoom. Finally, according to him, the 6.1in 12 and the 12 Pro will be available on October 23rd like Prosser, the Mini will be available on November 13th and the Pro Max on November 20th. Sadly, he didn’t mention any other hardware but we hope that’s not the case.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy S20 FE and more devices are on sale today

The official news today begin with Deals, and isn’t it crazy when a phone that’s just too expensive gets discounted just a few dayslater. It looks like Samsung isn’t stopping with these deals as, the US variant of the Galaxy Note 20 is still $200 off, leaving the entry level one for $799. Don’t worry, the Note 20 Ultra is also $200 off, leaving the entry level variant for that one at $1099. The Galaxy S20 FE is also $100 off, leaving that at $600 shipped for 128GB of storage. Finally, the OnePlus 8 Pro is also $100 off, leaving the 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage variant for $900.

HarmonyOS 2.0 will be available on the Mate 40 phones first, then P40 and Mate 30

Now let’s talk Huawei as all eyes are on the company’s plans with how they’ll handle operating systems going forward. The company just made kind of a bold move. They confirmed that some of the phones running EMUI 11 will be able to install Harmony OS 2.0. Apparently there’s a leaked schedule on Weibo, for when and which phones will be able to download it. The first batch of phones uses the Kirin 9000 Series which is the unreleased Mate 40 Series. The second batch includes the Kirin 990 5G, which includes the P40, and Mate 30 models. What’s interesting is that even older phones, powered by the Kirin 710 and 810 will be able to get it in the final batches. We usually get the Mate Series in mid-October but, due to some production issues with their latest Kirin chips, we have no word on when we’ll be getting them this year or if they’re coming until 2021. I guess this is like the times of the HTC HD2 where all that’s missing now is for Huawei phones to run Windows?

Microsoft Surface Duo devices show cracks around its USB-C port

Shifting over to Microsoft, let’s discuss one of the company’s most controversial launches this year. It’s been a couple of months since the Surface Duo went live and even though it has a pretty sleek design and it seems good on paper, reviews weren’t exactly positive for this device. And, if you remember, our buddy Zack from JerryRigEverything said this phone was basically impossible to repair. Well, several Surface Duo owners are reporting that the plastic around the USB-C port is cracking. There’s little to no space around the USB-C port, to make the device thinner and apparently it wasn’t a good choice. According to some of them, it cracked while they were plugging in the charging cable and others say it happened in their pocket. At the moment it seems like a cosmetic issue and reddit users are talking about how magnetic chargers could be a solution but, it’s things you shouldn’t be getting on a $1400 phone. I know many of you asked me to review it, but fact of the matter is, as much as I want to this is still an experiment.. A cool one though, but this is the curse of the early adopter. I’ll keep you posted on how it turns out.

US could get two budget OnePlus phones by the end of the month

Now when it comes to OnePlus, sure we’ve been talking about the OnePlus 8T coming soon, but the company pretty much confirmed that the Nord wasn’t a one time thing, and that we’d be getting more mid-ranger with time. According to a tipster on Twitter, OnePlus is gearing to launch two new Nord devices in the US by the end of this month. These two devices are called the Nord N10 and the Nord N100. We’ve heard rumors of the N10 before but not really for the N100. The leaked specs for the N10 include the Snapdragon 690 SoC which supports 5G, a 6.5in display running at 90Hz, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It’ll also bring a quad camera setup with a 64MP shooter and the price should start somewhere around the $400 mark. Now, the N100 would be cheaper than the N10, with a Snapdragon 460, a 6.5in display, and a triple camera array with a 13MP main sensor. It should also bring 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage with a crazy 6000 mAh battery. The price tag for this one should be around the $200 mark. We’ll keep you posted as we should know more on October 14th, because it could just be that we get everything at the same time.

Smaller HomePod and AirPods Studio launch may be getting closer

Now let’s move on to Apple, and don’t worry guys, we’ll talk iPhone in a second but first, let’s talk about other things we could be getting at Apple’s Event. For the longest time, Apple has sold third party headphones and speakers on the Apple Store but, they just stopped. They’re no longer selling from Sonos, Bose and Logitech, hinting that we’re closed to the company releasing their own solution. According to Bloomberg, Cupertino removed them from the online Apple Store at the end of September, and Apple employees have allegedly been asked to pull these products from the shelves in the past few days. If you remember they have done things like this in the past, when they removed fitness trackers before they launched the Apple Watch. Several rumors have hinted that we’ll be getting a lower cost HomePod and the AirPods Studio. We don’t have much information on the HomePod, but the AirPods Studio are expected to feature a metal and leather design with magnetic Ear Cups, reversible detection and Apple’s U1 chip. Are any of you guys waiting on either of these products, because those AirPods Studio sound nice.

Story of the day:

Apple sends out invites for October 13 launch event. Brace for i(Phone 12)mpact!

And finally, the hottest news of the day have to do with what you’ve been waiting for, Apple’s event for October. The leaks were right, what can I say? Apple just sent out press invitations for an event that will happen on October 13th at 10AM PST. The teaser shows the Apple logo in orange, with some blue bubbles surrounding it and it reads “Hi Speed”, but before we get into what that means, let’s recap on everything we know about the iPhone 12 so far.. We’re expecting 4 different phones this year, a 5.4in 12 Mini, a 6.1in 12, a 6.1in 12 Pro and last but not least, the 6.7in 12 Pro Max. All of these phones will bring OLED displays and we still have a little hope that 120Hz can make the cut, please Apple. They will also offer 5G support and will run on Apple’s new A14 Bionic chip. We’re also expecting a much flatter design, reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and a slimmer notch, at least on the Pro models. We’re not sure when it comes to the RAM as Apple never really discloses it but, we’re expecting the regular models to start at 64GB of storage, while the Pros will start at 128GB. We’re also expecting them to bring probably the same triple camera array but with a LiDAR sensor for the Pros, and a dual camera array for the regular ones. Oh, and who can forget, we’re not getting EarPods, or a charging brick in the box. When it comes to the price tags, the latest leaks hinted to the 12 Mini starting at $649, the regular 12 at $750, and the Pros at $999 and $1099 respectively. Now, there’s obviously a lot of speculation on what Hi Speed can mean, it could be because of 5G, the A14 bionic, and maybe, just maybe 120Hz??? Other things we could be getting at this event include the AirPods Studio, a new HomePod, and hopefully some of the Apple Silicon Macs.

AT&T believes iPhone 12 launch may not be a ‘Massive event’

Posted on by Samuel Martinez

We are getting closer to the possible launch of Apple’s new iPhone 12 lineup, as rumors suggest that it could arrive in a mid-October event. Cupertino recently held an online “Time Flies” event, where it launched the new Apple Watch Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE without a charger. We also saw the arrival of a new iPad and a new iPad Air with a new A14 Bionic chip, as well as other new services and features.

However, it seems that AT&T is not so hyped about the launch of the new iPhone 12 lineup. The company’s Communications CEO, Jeff McElfresh, was recently interviewed by CNBC. He had some interesting things to say about the new 5G iPhones and 6G plans for one of the United States’ largest carriers.

“I do believe that you will see many of the iPhone subscribers move to upgrade to the device,” said McElfresh. “But I wouldn’t forecast that it’s going to be a massive event. I also don’t think it’s going to be a nonevent. I think customers, based on the pressures of the economy that we’re all facing today, will make a calculated decision as to what they want to do. And we’re going to be there to offer them any device that Apple launches here shortly.”

He also mentioned that AT&T’s engineers are already working on the next-generation 6G network, even though it may take years before this technology fully materializes. Yes, it is always good to be prepared for the future, but at least I believe that the company should focus on giving real 5G connectivity and consistent speeds, not 5Ge and a nationwide network that has “enormous gaps in coverage stretch coast to coast.”

Maybe the launch of the iPhone 12 may not have a huge impact due to economic uncertainty, but let’s be honest, Apple really knows how to put up a show, and it will most likely launch its devices with a bang and a couple of new surprises. We have recently seen rumors suggesting the arrival of a new iPhone 12 mini, which would be the smallest 5.4-inch variant of the lineup, but it seems that we won’t get 120Hz refresh rate displays in any model.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20, Apple’s iPhone XR and more devices on sale today

Deals. Amazon currently has the Galaxy Note 20 for $200 off, meaning you can get the entry level variant for $800 shipped in all color variants. Sadly, we have no deals on the Ultra right now. The Galaxy S20 is still $200 off, leaving it for nearly the same price as the Note 20. And since today is Apple day, you can actually get the iPhone Xr with a discount on Amazon, but there’s a catch. You have to activate it on Cricket Wireless but, you get the entry level Xr for $399. Finally, the Galaxy Book S is $150 off, leaving the Intel Core i5, 8GB of Ram and 256GB of SSD variant for $800. We have a ton of deals on apple products, Samsung SSDs and more in the links in the description.

Samsung unveils new 108MP, 64MP, 48MP, and 32MP mobile camera sensors with 0.7μm pixels 

Is this the price of the new Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition?

I know, there’s a lot of Apple news going on today, so before we begin, let me give you some Samsung news for a change. The company just announced their new ISOCELL line up which will be used in their upcoming devices. They announced the 32MP ISOCELL JD1, the 48MP ISCOCELL GM5, the 64MP ISOCELL GW3 and finally, the 108MP ISOCELL HM2 which will most likely make it to the S21. It’s apparently 15% smaller than it’s predecessor, and it brings Super PD which is a faster and more effective phase detection autofocus. It’s capable of 9 in 1 pixel binning and doing 120fps video at 4K. It’ll also allow for 3x lossless zoom and it’ll begin mass production in Q3. Speaking of Q3, another product we’re waiting on is the Galaxy S20 FE, and we have a new leaked price tag from a Slovakian company. According to them the S20 FE will start at €699 and remember, we’re expecting this phone to bring a 6.5in display running at 120Hz, the Snapdragon 865, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. We’ll keep you posted as we’re getting really close.

Fitness+ is Apple’s way of helping you get fit

Let’s start today’s Apple talk with the new services they announced today. First off, at a time when working out from home has become a thing, Cupertino just decided to pretty much hit their competitors hard with Apple Fitness+. This is a service which they describe as a new engaging and personalized fitness experience that’s capable thanks to your Apple Watch. Fitness+ gives you different Studio Workouts, like Yoga, Cycling, HIIT and more with Apple’s new trainer team, because yes, they even have trainers for this. It allows you to choose the workout on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV and will automatically connect to your Watch, showing you your metrics on both displays. Yeah if you’ve seen how the Peloton App works, this is pretty much the same thing. Fitness+ will be available later this year for $9.99 and it supports your family plan for that money, but wait, there’s more. The rumors that Apple was going to consolidate all of its services into one just became true, with Apple One. This basically let’s you pay a fixed rate for a bundle of services instead of paying separately, but not all bundles are created equal. There’s three different tiers, Individual which includes some iCloud storage, Apple Music, Arcade and TV+ for $14.95 a month. Family, which includes Apple Music, TV+, Arcade and more iCloud storage for more users for $19.95. Finally, they also launched Premium, which includes those same four along with more iCloud storage, Apple News, and Fitness+ for $29.95. It will bring a 30 Day free trial and it’ll be available this fall, and guys we already have Spotify complaining about how this will hurt them bad.

This is everything Apple’s new A14 Bionic has to offer

Now, let’s talk about Apple’s brand new chip, the A14 Bionic which will power most of Apple’s devices going forward this year, including the iPhones. This is major, as Apple has just announced the first ever 5nm processor, and it’ll debut on one of its newer iPads. This 5nm architecture means they were able to fit 11.8 Billion transistors into this thing. It brings 6 CPU Cores, divided in 4 high efficiency cores and 2 high power cores. It has 4 GPU Cores with a 30% increase in graphics performance, which theoretically means that any device powered by it will handle graphics nearly two times better than your standard laptop. It features a much faster Neural Engine with this 16-core architecture and takes up to 11 trillion operations per second. To put it simple, this processor accounts for a 40% boost in CPU performance and again, a 30% boost in graphics. According to Apple it makes it easier to edit 4K videos, create art, play immersive games, and at a time when Apple is making a full move into Apple Silicon, this is the first indication that what we saw at WWDC was just the tip of the iceberg.

Apple Watch Series 6 can measure your blood oxygen saturation level and starts at $399

Family Setup: You can now pair your iPhone to multiple Apple Watches 

It is official, we have a new Apple Watch SE

Let’s move on to the Apple Watch which actually got some pretty major upgrades today if you think about it. First, they announced the new Series 6. It brings the new S6 processor which is based on the A13 Bionic, 18 hour battery life and Apple’s new U1 chip for short-range wireless location. It brings an enhanced Always On Display, and new features like a Blood Oxygen Sensor and dedicated app, and an Altimeter. They also released a new Apple Watch SE for those of you looking for a more affordable solution. The Watch SE brings somewhat of the Series 4’s design with a display that’s 30% larger than the Series 3, and it features the S5 chip, meaning you still get pretty good performance. It brings some of the features from the Series 6 like the altimeter, gyroscope and fall detection but of course, we have some caveats. No Always-On Display, no ECG and other new features. Now probably the coolest change is this new Family Setup feature, which basically let’s you get an Apple Watch for your kids or other people who don’t have an iPhone. It let’s you use one iPhone to set up the Watch and it then gives you Health and Safety features, like location alerts for your kids and also the fitness tracking. The Apple Watch Series 6 will cost you $399, while the SE will set you back $279. Oh, and did I mention that they won’t bring a charging brick?

Story of the day:

Apple’s 8th Gen iPad brings the power of Neural Engine and is still affordable at $329 

New iPad Air brings updated design, A14 Bionic processor, and more

And finally the hottest news today have to do with a few things. The first, iOS 14, iPad OS 14, watchOS 7 are al available today. No word yet on MacOS Big Sur. Also, well, Apple just confirmed the death of charging bricks with an excuse to the environment.. Yup.. That’s a thing, and third is that this year marks 10 years of iPad, so we have serveral new models. First off, they announced the new 8th generation iPad, but well, it’s the same 10.2in Retina Display iPad we got last year with the same design, but now it’s powered by the A12 Bionic which brings the Neural Engine to the entry level iPad. It’ll also cost $329 just like the previous model did but only for 32 gigs, which god even the Apple Watch brings in storage. But, let’s move on to the most interesting upgrade, the iPad Air. Let’s just say it’s almost like the 2018 iPad Pro, but with some improvements and caveats. It now brings an edge-to-edge 10.9in Liquid Retina Display. Sadly it doesn’t bring Face ID but, Apple moved Touch ID to the power button at the top to fit the new display. What’s cool is this is the first device powered by the A14 Bionic, which we discussed earlier, again making it more powerful than standard laptops according to Apple and giving it a major performance boost. It brings a flat back with the same camera design as the older iPad Pros. Speaking of the camera, 7mp selfie shooter and the main shooters is 12MP like the iPad Pro. It now brings USB-C and 20W power that actually comes in the box it seems. It’ll be available tomorrow in 5 different colors for $599 and it’ll support all your usual accessories like the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil 2.

It seems that the next Apple event won’t feature the new iPhone 12

Posted on by Samuel Martinez

Apple has recently posted the date for its next event, and we keep on getting rumors that tell us what to expect. We expect Apple to launch the new Apple Watch Series 6, along with a new Apple Watch SE, and a couple of new iPads. However, Jon Prosser has recently posted on Twitter that the new iPhone 12 will not be ready in time for the event that will happen next week.

We finally have an official date for the next Apple event. It will take place on September 15, and we have been getting tons of rumors concerning the devices that may or may not launch. We can start by mentioning that we could very well see the presentation of new AirTags, a new iPad and iPad Air, the arrival of the Apple Watch, and according to recent rumors, a new Apple Watch SE in two sizes. However, the iPhone 12 would be the left for another event.

According to recent tweets from Jon Prosser, the iPhone 12 won’t be launched next Tuesday. The reason for this is because the new iPhone has just started mass production this week, and iOS 14.1 won’t be complete until October 9. Now, Apple also has to install the new iOS version to every iPhone 12 unit, so it would be impossible for Cupertino to ship the phones until mid-late October. He then mentions that his sources are also saying that the new iPhone lineup may not be announced during the next event.

He later talked about the products that would be launched in the “Time Flies” event, where he mentions the Apple Watch SE and the new Apple Watch Series 6, or the Apple Watch and the Apple Watch Pro. The Apple Watch SE is supposed to arrive without ECG, but it will arrive with a design similar to the one on the Series 4, with a 40mm and a 44mm version. We have also seen rumors that mention an iPad refresh and a new iPad Air 4, but we will have to wait for further information on these matters.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20, a new Apple Shopping event, and more on sale today

Deals. It looks like Samsung does not like to waste time as we have deals on the brand new Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. They’re both $200 off, leaving the 128GB variant of the Note 20 for $799 shipped, in all color variants. That means that the Note 20 Ultra is $1099 for the 128GB of storage. Moving on to Best Buy, they’re having yet another Apple Sales Event. For example, the 16in MacBook Pro is $200 off, leaving the Intel Core i9, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage variant for $2600. They also have more deals on iPad Pros, MacBook Airs, iPhones and more and we also have other deals in the links below.

LG Wing’s leaked hands-on video finally shows how the rotating dual display works

Yesterday, LG confirmed that their “Explorer Project“, which is coming out on September 14th, will be called the LG Wing. And, we’ve seen other leaked videos of the phone like the ones on the car but now, we have an 8 second hands on of the device where we see the display rotating for the first time. On the video you can see the UI change as the person rotates the main display from its horizontal state to the vertical state and honestly it looks pretty smooth. This seems to be a glossy, white color variant which means that it could bring a similar design language to the Velvet. According to an ETNews report the shipment price for the Wing has been set at around $918 from KRW but after the value-added tax rate it shows it’s $1608. Both of these prices go right along with the leaks we got last week so we can expect the actual price to be somewhere around this.

Microsoft officially unveils Xbox Series S and confirms a sweet $299 asking price

A few months ago we covered the possibility of a more affordable and smaller alternative for the Xbox Series X, which would be dubbed the Series S. Well, that just became a reality. Microsoft officially unveiled this console online and it will bring a custom-made NVMe SSD with a 512GB capacity, up to 120fps at 1440p, DirectX ray-tracing, 4K media streaming and more, all while being 60% smaller than the Xbox Series X, meaning that this is the smallest Xbox ever. The teaser also claims that it already has 100 high quality titles that will be optimized for the next generation. According to a Windows Central report, the Series S will be released along with the Series X on November 10th and it will cost $299. Considering that the Series X might cost around $499, this looks like a pretty good alternative as, the PS5 will reportedly bring a hefty price tag as well.

Microsoft is working on a smaller Surface-branded laptop that might start at just $500

Sticking with Microsoft, we know that the Surface lineup is pretty much all 2-in-1 convertibles except for the Surface Laptop which has kind of a pricy entry level variant. Well, according to another Windows Central report, Microsoft is working on a more affordable Surface Laptop. The report claims that it’s codenamed “Sparti” and it will apparently bring a 12.5in display, a 10th Gen Intel Core i5, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. It would bring Windows 10 in S Mode and would start at around $500 or $600. This new Surface Laptop would be targeted at students and it would reportedly launch in October. Microsoft apparently wants to go after the Chromebook market with this one and it might just work out considering it will be an actual PC.

Android 11 released for Pixel smartphones via the stable channel. What’s new?

A couple of months ago I made a video on how Android 11 was making me love the Google Pixel 4 again. Well, Google just released the first stable build of Android 11 for all compatible phones, meaning Pixels. Most of the features that Android 11 brings were already present in the betas but just to refresh your memory, it focuses a lot on privacy like how you now get a dedicated notifications tab for conversations, app permissions reset after a while of you not using them, separation between work and personal files and more. Media controls have been revamped a long with Google Home controls, a new native screen recorder and more. You can check out my long term review of the Pixel 4 XL with Android 11 which will be right up here on the screen to check out other updates. So, if you have a Pixel 2 or newer you can download it already, we’ll keep you posted on when other devices get it.

Story of the day:

Apple schedules an event on September 15, Apple Watch Series 6 expected to debut

And yes, Marc Gurman’s leaks from yesterday were right! Apple just scheduled an event for September 15th at 10AM PST, where we’re expecting to get some new hardware. However, Marc claimed that this will be the “iPhone” September Event but it looks like that’s not what we should expect here. The press invitation has the caption “Time Flies” and with an art that looks like a looping armband, so yes this is hinting that we’ll be getting the Apple Watch Series 6. What’s weird is that the event is scheduled to happen for two hours, so we should naturally expect more hardware than just an Apple Watch. According to Bloomberg and other tipsters, we should also get a redesigned iPad Air with an edge-to-edge screen, possibly Apple’s over the ear headphones, and even a smaller HomePod. Other things that might make the cut but are unlikely at this event are the Apple Tags or AirTags and maybe even AirPower. This also means that the iPhone 12 Line will happen until October like we expected as, they’re just not ready, they reportedly entered mass production this week.

Here’s everything we saw today during Apple’s WWDC 2020

Posted on by Samuel Martinez

Today Apple went all out on its latest event. This year’s Worldwide Developers Conference announced tons of new features and gave us some great surprises. You can find a quick summary of everything we saw today below, with the whole WWDC stream if you want to watch and links that will take you to our extended coverage.

WWDC 2020 started with Apple CEO Tim Cook explaining Apple’s efforts to fight against racism, inequality, and injustice. He invites us “to aim far higher to build a future that lives up to our ideals,” while mentioning Apple’s Racial Equity and Justice Initiative, which Apple announced two weeks ago. This initiative comes with a commitment of one hundred million dollars “to challenge systemic barriers that limit the opportunity for communities of color in the critical areas of education, economic equality, and criminal justice.”

Tim Cook also addressed the current pandemic and how it’s affecting the daily lives of people around the planet. He thanked healthcare workers for their sacrifice and efforts. He also pointed out how people are relying more on Apple products to remain connected to family and friends and how these tools are now essential for work, creativity, entertainment, and more. He then explained how this week, “There will be more than a hundred engineering-led video sessions, one-on-one consultations with Apple engineers, developer forums, and so much more.” This content will be available to Apple’s entire community of 23 million developers, and anyone interested, for free.

iOS 14

We had received several rumors about new features in iOS 14, but we weren’t expecting to get this much. First, iOS is now more powerful and easier to use. Apple’s experience has helped them improve the user experience, even as tasks have gotten more complicated.

Major changes came in several ways with iOS 14. We now have an App Library that will help you control your apps into a more simple, organized way for you to navigate. Widgets were also announced. These will be more beautiful and data-rich, plus we get different sizes to pick the one which is best suited for our needs. Picture in Picture s another new feature that will let us keep watching whatever we want while we multi-task, and we can also pinch the video to make it smaller or larger.

Siri is now getting more power and a new compact design that won’t take over the device’s screen. You can also ask Siri to send audio messages, it will allow dictation on the device, and it will also help with Conversations to translate up to 11 languages in real-time.

Other Apps such as Messages, Apple Maps, Car Play, and the App Store are also getting new features that will make conversations more fun, going places easier and more. CarPlay is now available in 97 percent of the US and 80 percent around the world. These services will also help the App Store give you a new experience thanks to App Clips that is a new way to discover apps, services ad more.

iPadOS 14

The experience in iPadOS 14 has also received improvements, as its new experience includes designs that are exclusive to this OS. It also features the same re-designed widgets that we get in iOS14, a new sidebar that woks with Notes, Files, Music, and more.

Siri is also changing in iPadOS 14, as it won’t take over the entire screen of your iPad, and neither will calls, as the incoming call notification is now a small banner at the top of your screen. Using an Apple Pencil with your iPad will be even more satisfying, as it will make handwriting as powerful as typed text thanks to Scribble for iPad, meaning that you can write anything on your device and get text as a result.

AirPods will also get a software update that will allow users to automatically switch between devices seamlessly without having to do it manually. New features such as Spatial Audio are also coming, which will be able to recreate an authentic surround sound experience, and these wireless earbuds are also getting tracking features.

watchOS 7

We now jump to the new OS for the Apple Watch. We start with the announcement of more than 20K WatchOS apps that are currently available in the App Store. We are also getting new re-designed watch faces, better performance in Maps, the Workout app, which now includes Dance workout. The Activity app is also getting a new name, as it will now be known as the Fitness app, but maybe the most important announcement was that the Apple Watch would finally get sleep tracking.

Privacy

Apple has always focused heavily on its users, and it has also improved in this area. We get more Security Protection Transparency and control, which is available on hardware and software. Apple also mentions that you can now define to give apps only approximate location data. Users are also getting a status bar indicator to let them know which apps are using the mic or camera.

Home and tvOS

We also get upgraded features to HomeKit, which is now Open Source since Apple has partnered with Amazon, Google, and other companies to create better interaction between smart home devices. You will also cards to suggest different ways to interact with your devices and visual status at the top of your home app to get a quick bird’s eye view of something important. tvOS now supports Xbox controllers, and gaming on Apple TV now expands to multi-user support, so you can continue playing anywhere right where you left off. You will also get Apple TV app support in Sony and Vizio Smart TVs this summer.

macOS Big Sur

Maybe the biggest surprise was given with macOS, as we get a new design, new symbols, consistency on icons between iOS and macOS, a new translucent menu bar, and big improvements in apps such as Messages, a new version of Maps, Mac Catalyst and Safari. Until now, the event was great, but it was just about to become amazing as Apple announced that the Mac is transitioning to Apple Silicon. This change will help Macs maximize performance while also being energy efficient.
