What should have been a regular roasting session for Dbrand’s social media handler turned out to be a PR nightmare this week.

Dbrand known for roasting its customers on Twitter for years, often with offensive tweets, decided to comment on a customer’s surname when he expressed his unhappiness with the quality of a MacBook skin he purchased a couple of months ago.

While such offensive tweets are part of the company’s online branding, this time, it faced a massive public backlash for the comment. Even MKBHD stepped in and said Dbrand’s comments were in bad taste.

A couple of apology tweets and $10,000 later, things seem to be fine for the smartphone case maker, but if you want to know what exactly happened in the past 48 hours, this article is worth a read.

In other news, Huawei released its ultra light laptop at the annual conference in China. The Matebook X Pro 2024 weighs just 980 grams, even lighter than the 13.6 Macbook Air and comes with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 chip inside. It also features a good sized 14.6-inch display with 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Leica has a new smartphone in the market, and naturally, it focuses on delivering an exceptional camera experience. The phone comes with a 47.2MP 1-inch sensor with an “eight phase detection autofocus” function that offers fast and accurate focusing and superior image quality even in challenging situations like low-light environments.

Realme recently announced the launch of its upcoming P-series smartphones in India, the P1 and P1 Pro. The company has been promoting the P1 Pro as boasting the “Only Curved Display Under 20K” and the “First 120Hz AMOLED Display Under 15K” for the P1. However, these claims have sparked debate online, with some accusing Realme of misleading marketing. There seems to be another phone that actually deserves this title and was launched earlier.

Also worth adding is how Apple recently sent critical security alerts to users in 92 countries, warning them of potential mercenary spyware attacks targeting their devices. The notification reads: “Apple detected that you are being targeted by a mercenary spyware attack that is trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID.” This indicates a deliberate attempt to gain unauthorized access to your phone’s data.

Apple emphasizes the seriousness of these attacks, stating: “This attack is likely targeting you specifically because of who you are or what you do.” While the company can’t disclose specific details to avoid aiding attackers, they have “high confidence” in this warning.
