Apple announced the iPadOS 16 yesterday at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The latest version of the company’s iPad-focused operating system features a lot of multitasking upgrades but probably the most interesting one is the Stage Manager feature. It will let you resize windows, so you can easily hide away other apps behind the primary window. It will also let you see which apps are active and transition between tasks more easily.

iPads are great devices, they offer impressive performance and utility but it’s not quite good at multitasking. However, that changes now with the new iPadOS 16. With the new OS, you’ll be able to do a lot more with your iPad. It features some much-awaited features like the Weather app, Collaborative document editing, and of course the Stage Manager. In addition, the iPadOS 16 will also be getting some features from the IOS16 like the Shared Photo Library and SharePlay in Messages.

Stage Manager is by far the most important feature of the iPadOS16. It brings a new way to multitask with multiple overlapping windows and full external display support. Stage Manager can automatically organize apps and windows, allowing you to drag and drop windows from the lower-right corner or open apps from the Dock to create groups of apps for different tasks. But there’s a catch, the Stage Manager feature is only available on iPads with an M1 processor or later.

“iPad is our most versatile device, and we’re excited to take what it can do even further with iPadOS 16,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “With Stage Manager, which takes multitasking on iPad to a whole new level, plus new ways to share and collaborate via Messages, Safari, and the new Freeform app, and new pro features like Reference Mode and Display Zoom, users can get even more done on iPad.”

Jun 7, 2022

Apple, along with the new M2 processor and the redesigned MacBook Air, has also launched a new 13-inch MacBook Pro which is powered by the newly announced chipset.

The previous version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro was among the first devices to come powered by the new Apple Silicon chip and the company continues the same for the next-generation processor.

In terms of design, this new version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro mostly remains unchanged compared to its predecessor. There’s still a Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard, a feature that has been removed from the 14-inch and 16-inch models.

Unlike the new MacBook Air, this laptop does not come with support for a MagSafe charger. Instead, there are two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports for both charging and peripherals.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro features a 13.3-inch Retina display, with a P3 wide color gamut and TrueTone technology with up to 500 nits of brightness. At the top of the screen, there’s a 720p FaceTime HD camera, making it the lowest resolution webcam in the entire MacBook series product.

Under the hood, the laptop is powered by the Apple M2 processor which is built on the second-generation 5m process. It is claimed to offer an 18 percent faster CPU, a 35 percent more powerful GPU, and a 40 percent faster Neural Engine.

Apple says that with a faster 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, working with RAW images in Affinity Photo is nearly 40 percent faster than the previous generation, and up to 3.4x faster for users who are upgrading from a model without Apple silicon.

It also comes with support for ProRes encode and decode in the media engine of ‌M2‌, which allows users to play back up to 11 streams of 4K and up to two streams of 8K ProRes video, and they can convert their video projects to ProRes nearly 3x faster than before. As for the battery life, it offers up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge.

The new 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro has a starting price of $1,299 and will be available for purchase from next month but the company has not revealed the exact date yet.

The long-awaited Google Pixel 6a smartphone is scheduled to go on sale next month. Ahead of the July 28 release date for the device, it has been listed on Facebook Marketplace. However, the listing was subsequently removed.

The Google Pixel 6a also came on the radar a few days back when a TikTok user released an unboxing video. The unboxing video provided a closer glimpse of the budget Pixel phone. We know that the Pixel 6a will be bundled with a Google-branded adapter and USB-C cable. Although the Pixel 6a Facebook Marketplace listing was taken down, we already have some additional images of the device.

As with the unboxing video, the Facebook Marketing listing of the Pixel 6a was of a charcoal color model. It is unclear whether the same user in the unboxing video made the Marketplace listing but that is likely the case.

As a reminder, the Pixel 6a packs a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED screen with support for just a 60Hz refresh rate. The display screen is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. For optics, the Pixel 6a packs a 12.2MP main camera teaming up with a 12MP ultrawide camera, and an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies. The horizontal bar at the back of the device contains the LED flash and the two rear cameras

The device is powered by Google’s in-house Tensor chipset with AI-powered features. The processor pairs with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The device equally features the Titan M2 security chip. The Pixel 6a has IP67-level water resistance capability and will be globally available from July 28.

Jun 7, 2022

At the WWDC 2022, Apple finally announced the new M2 chipset and also put all the rumors to rest with the launch of the redesigned Apple MacBook Air. With this, the company has updated the laptop which was last refreshed a couple of years ago.

The new Apple MacBook Air comes powered by the new M2 chip and continues to have a fanless design. Instead of the regular 13.3-inch display, the laptop comes with a new 13.6-inch display with up to 500 nits of brightness.

The screen is said to be 25 percent brighter than its predecessor and it comes with support for 1 billion colors. As for the design, the device looks quite similar to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models of last year.

Powered by the new M2 processor, Apple claims that the Final Cut Pro performance is nearly 40 percent faster than on the M1 Air and Photoshop is up to 20 percent faster.

There are two Thunderbolt ports on the left side, along with a headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones. It also has added support for the MagSafe connector for charging. However, it still misses out on some of the ports, such as HDMI and SD Card reader, among others.

It also comes with an updated 1080p camera along with four speakers and three microphones. Apple said that there’s also support for Dolby Atmos spatial audio. The Magic Keyboard now has a full row of function keys with Touch ID and Force Touch trackpad.

The laptop measures just 11.3 millimeters thick and weighs 2.7 pounds (1.2 kilograms). As for the battery life, the company is promising up to 18 hours of video playback and with an optional 67-watt power adapter it can charge up to 50 percent in 30 minutes.

The new Apple MacBook Air comes in four color options — Silver, Space Gray, Midnight, and Starlight. It will be available for purchase from next month with a starting price of $1,199.

Jun 7, 2022

Apple has officially announced its new M2 chipset at the company’s annual developers’ conference named Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The introduction of the M2 chip marks the debut of the second-generation Apple Silicon processors.

As the name itself indicates, Apple M2 is a successor to the M1 chipset announced a couple of months ago and comes with a promise of major performance improvements.

The new Apple M2 chip is using Apple’s custom ARM silicon and is built using the 5nm process with 20 billion transistors, which the company says is 25 percent more than the original M1 processor.

The company is also promising an 18 percent faster CPU and a 35 percent faster GPU compared to the M1. Apple also says that the performance is about 1.9x faster than the “latest 10-core PC laptop chip” but hasn’t directly named the competition.

Apple is also using new performance and efficiency cores on the M2. There are four high-performance cores, with four high-efficiency cores on the M2, with a shared 16MB cache on the performance cores, and a shared 4MB cache on the efficiency ones.

Coming to the GPU, there are now up to 10 cores, two more than the original M1. It also boosts graphics performance through a larger cache and higher memory bandwidth. Apple is promising up to 35 percent better performance compared to its predecessor.

It also comes with 100Gbps of memory bandwidth and 24GB of unified memory, which is 50 percent more bandwidth than the predecessor. The chip also features a next-generation secure enclave and neural engine. It also has an updated media engine that supports 8K H.264 and HEVC video. This means that it will be able to play multiple streams of 4K and 8K video simultaneously.

The new Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are the first devices from the company to come powered by the new Apple M2 chipset. Similar to its predecessor, we expect Apple to launch a few more variants of this new chip in the coming months.

BATTERY	4800 mAh, fast charging 66W	4500 mAh, Fast Charging 120W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM, reverse charging	5G, dual SIM

Design

The design of the Honor 70 is very lovely and original. It comes with amazing textures on the rear side which vary depending on the chosen color option. It looks very elegant and futuristic and it wins the design comparison not only for its original look but also because it comes with a great curved screen with a very high screen to body ratio. Last but not least, it is thinner and lighter than its rival. The Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus has an important added value: it is splash resistant and dust resistant thanks to the IP53 certification, but there is no way for it to compete with the Honor 70 in terms of aesthetics. So if you are looking for the most beautiful phone, you know what to choose.

Display

Do you care about having the best possible image quality? If so, you should definitely go for the Honor 70. It has a stunning OLED display that shows up to one billion colors with a 6.67-inch diagonal, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. It provides brighter colors and deeper blacks thanks to its OLED panel, while the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus has a more disappointing LCD display with inferior image quality. On the other hand, it features a higher 144 Hz refresh rate and this is a good element for gamers and for those seeking the smoothest viewing experience. The Honor 70 has an in-display fingerprint reader, while on the Redmi Note it is side-mounted.

Specs & Software

The device with the highest performance here is the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus, thanks to the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz. This chipset is an upgrade of the Dimensity 8100 with better AI performance and it is actually the best MediaTek SoC after the Dimensity 9000. Inside the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus, it is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The Snapdragon 778G+ found on the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus is just a midrange chipset, even though it is the best Qualcomm midrange chipset if we exclude the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box with customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

The best camera phone in this comparison and even the only one which can be considered a high-end camera phone in this duo is the Honor 70. It comes with the new 54 MP Sony sensor paired with a great 50 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. The Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus is equipped with a 64 MP triple camera including an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. The Honor 70 wins even when it comes to the selfies, thanks to a 32 MP front camera.

Battery

The Honor 70 is the handset with the longest battery life because it is equipped with a 4800 mAh battery and it comes with a more efficient OLED display. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus is able to provide faster charging speeds thanks to 120W fast charging. Do you prefer having a longer battery life or faster charging speeds? You can let us know by using the comment box below.

Price

For now, the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus and the Honor 70 are only sold in the Chinese market and their global availability is yet to come. The Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus hitten the shelves with a starting price of €300/$320 at the actual change, while the Honor 70 starts from €380/$407 in its base variant. The latest Honor mid-ranger wins the comparison because it offers a better OLED display and superior cameras, as well as a bigger battery. But the Redmi Note is a better option for a lot of gamers because of its higher refresh rate, better chipset, and faster charging tech.

OPPO launched the Reno 8 series in China a couple of weeks ago. At launch, the series consisted of the Reno 8, Reno 8 Pro, and Reno 8 Pro+. Now, the company plans to launch a new smartphone in the Reno 8 lineup dubbed the OPPO Reno 8Z 5G.

Tipster Mukul Sharma has revealed some details regarding the Battery, fast charging, storage configurations, and color options of the upcoming device. According to Sharma, the upcoming device will have a 4,500mAh battery paired with 33W fast charging support.

The tipster also adds that the Reno 8Z 5G will come in three RAM and storage configurations:- 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. Lastly, the tipster that customers can expect the device to debut in Black and Blue colors.

Last week, the Reno 8Z 5G was spotted on the NBTC certification database with CPH2457 model number. The listing also revealed that the device has a 4,500mAh battery pack along with 33W fast charging. It also informed that the smartphone will run Android 12-based ColorOS 12.1.1.

Unfortunately, this is currently the extent of information we have on the upcoming OPPO device. But looking at its predecessor, the OPPO Reno 7Z 5G, we can guess that the device will likely be a more budget-friendly option compared to other Reno 8 series devices.

US Postal Service plans to introduce electric mail bikes in its fleet, tests ongoing

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is conducting tests on US-made electric bikes for mail delivery. The new electric cargo bikes are meant to reduce their reliance on gas-powered trucks.

The USPS had come under intense criticism after it announced plans to purchase 165,000 trucks from Oshkosh Defense Corp. It had stated plans of having up to 10% of the first batch accounting for electric vehicles. The percentage was increased to 20% of the first 50,000 deliveries. There was an uproar and litigation when the USPS announced its initial expansion plans.

The USPS electric cargo bike is a sturdy and well-suited bike for heavy loads. It is built by Montana-based Coaster Cycles. The electric mail bikes are built on the Freighter A W Platform. Its cargo compartment can take up to 73 sq. Ft. The compartment can hold up to 181kg of cargo.

Hydraulic disc brakes provide firm control for the cargo bike. The bike is powered by Bosch’s Cargo Line e-bike drive system. A 500Wh battery is on offer in the new e-bike. This can be scaled up with additional batteries. Automatic transmission based on Enviolo CVT provides less distraction for riders, while a backup camera and rear view mirrors are featured.

The USPS is expected to further embrace eco-friendly options in a less controversial manner. The lawsuit against USPS had shown that USPS had not carried out due diligence before signing the contract. There were indications that the environmental impact assessment was done after the contract was signed, which was unacceptable.

There seems to be a massive demand for the MA1 wireless Android Auto dongle. The device was released in January on Amazon and Target originally. Stocks for the MA1 have continued to be exhausted due to pent-up demand. A quiet launch of the Motorola MA1 wireless Android Auto adapter was done on Best Buy. The device has however been sold out, with the last units purchased by June 3.

The rapid demand for Motorola’s MA1 adapter is spurred by its affordability and plug-and-play capability. The MA1 costs $89.99 and has enjoyed a 5-star performance since its release. It has been only available on shelves for at most one month. It offers an excellent and convenient way of connecting Android Auto to a car.

Even with the shortages, the MA1 can still be purchased at Amazon through scalpers, albeit at a higher price. One observable challenge currently for the MA1 adapter is the lack of updates to its firmware. This could be the reason for observed lag issues when the MA1 is paired with some smartphones. This is in addition to the unavailability of the device amidst other difficult alternatives.

Its Four o’ clock and as promised we have something very exciting to share…#MadeOfMAD pic.twitter.com/N7fPD6R36p

— POCO India (@IndiaPOCO) June 6, 2022

The POCO F4 GT, which is a rebranded Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has already been launched in the Europe and UK markets. So going off of that, we can expect that the rest of the POCO F4 series will also be rebranded Redmi K50 series devices.

So far, Redmi has two devices in the K50 series other than the gaming edition. These are the Redmi K50 and the K50 Pro. Both of these devices come with a 2K resolution AMOLED display and powerful stereo dual speakers. The K50 comes powered by the Dimensity 8100 SoC while the K50 Pro houses the Dimensity 9000 chipset.

Both the devices also feature triple-camera setups for photography with the pro model housing a 108-megapixel (OIS) + 8-megapixel ultra-wide + 2-megapixel macro. The K50 replaces the 108-megapixel sensor with a 40-megapixel sensor while the rest of the camera setup remains the same.

The K50 Pro has a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging while the vanilla K50 has a larger 5,500 battery with 67W fast charging. These are likely to be the specifications for the upcoming F series smartphones in the global market. The device can also debut with totally different specifications in the Indian market as the POCO F4 with model number 220212111RI (Indian variant) recently appeared on the IMEI database.
