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.”

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.

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.

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.

Since the beginning of this year, the rumor mill has been leaking the design of the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra flagship. Most leaks including GizmoChina’s exclusive have revealed that its back panel will not feature a secondary display. Instead, it will come with a huge circular camera module with multiple cutouts for cameras and sensors. Well-known tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer has teamed up with publication Zouton to leak the CAD renders of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. The new images corroborate many of the previous leaks.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra design

Beginning from the front, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra can be seen sporting a punch-hole display with curved edges. The device measures 161.9 x 74.3 x 9.5mm. This means that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is thicker and slightly smaller than last year’s Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which has a 164.3 x 74.6 x 8.4mm. This indicates that it may not feature the massive 6.81-inch screen, which was made available on the predecessor. The new leak states that it could house a 6.6-inch AMOLED panel.

Moving to the back, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra can be seen sporting a massive camera setup with Leica branding. The camera system has as many as seven camera cutouts. It seems to be equipped with four cameras and three sensors.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra specifications (rumored)

The rear camera module of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra may include a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 48-megapixel periscope zoom camera, and a 16-megapixel portrait lens. It could be equipped with a 16-megapixel or 20-megapixel front camera.

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset may power the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. It may come with up to 16 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging and wireless charging support.

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.

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.
