Apple is famous for making very reliable and premium smartphones. After the successful sales of the iPhone 12 series with a new design, we can expect iPhone 13 to follow its design pattern. We can expect iPhone 13 to come with a newer chipset and better camera. Apple is expected to launch its complete iPhone series in the month of September however the company has not confirmed the actual dates (officially), here is some data we got from the online leaks.
The Timeline
We can expect that Apple will be releasing all its iPhone 13 series phones, which will include normal iPhone 13, iPhone 13 pro and iPhone 13 pro max together on September 14. The company may also release its mini segment and new Airpods alongside. According to IT Home, a reliable Twitter leaker informed with his tweet that the phone is even listed on one of the e-commerce websites in China along with the rumoured Apple’s Airpods 3. It was also mentioned in the publication that the pre-orders will start from the 17th and the phone will go on sale on the 24th. Although, last time the publication’s rumour about the date came out to be wrong. However this time even Jon Prosser, another tipster confirmed that the rumours are true.
So if the dates are true the press invites should be a week before the announcement of the phone which is the 7th of September. And after the pre-order on the 17th, the first sale should be a week later on the 24th of September.
We are really excited about the launch of the upcoming Apple products. Also, the prices of the new iPhones will increase as reportedly, the chipset production cost has been increased by TSMC thus resulting in the higher price of smartphones. We can expect around a 20% price bump on the upcoming iPhones. Stay with Gadget Bridge for more updates on the upcoming Apple launch.

Sharing photos has become an integral part of taking photos. But sending or uploading your pretty photos online makes it look frizzy. This is because while uploading a picture on any socials the application uses a compression algorithm to save its server space and traffic. Compression of photos and videos results in decreasing quality for both aspects. But worry not, we have some simple ways to upload videos and images without losing their quality or without compression so you can share your experience with your loved ones.

Google Photos
Probably the easiest and underrated feature of Google Photos. Own a Google account? Just open Google photos and upload your photos on it. Before that just make sure that the upload setting is set to lossless quality. Just press the share option after that and select the recipient and you are good to go. The best part about Google photos is it also backs up and syncs your photos and videos. You can access your photos and videos easily from anywhere, all you need is a device with an internet connection. Remember, there is a limit of 15GB for free storage in Google Photos.
Cloud Sharing
Cloud sharing is one of the best ways to share photos, videos or even files with others without any compromise. Why this method is so successful is because there are tons of options to choose from. Some of the best ones are Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and iCloud. All you need is to upload the photo or video into the cloud service of your choice and then head to the share options. There is no worry about your data getting leaked as there are tons of options available for sharing your file. The sharing link will only open the desired file you send. Also, there are customisation options like setting the file as viewable or downloadable accordingly. It is advised to get to know the service you want to use properly before starting. All the applications are available on both PC and smartphones.
WiFi direct is like sending your files over Bluetooth just with increased speed and lesser range. WiFi direct simply connects two devices via WiFi with each other, and can be on a phone or laptop’s inbuilt hotspot. One of the devices acts as an access point and another device connects directly to it. The best part of WiFi direct is that multiple devices can connect through one access point. There are many third-party apps as well to make this process hassle-free. Apps like Send anywhere, Nearby share or AirDrop(in apple specific) allows you to just select the file you want to share and follow the steps and guides in the application itself. Your file will be sent to the receiver in no time.
Email
We often forget emails can now carry multimedia as well, although there is a limit on the file size you can share. Unlike other social media applications, it does not compress your photo. Sending photos through email, in the good old way, is very easy. All you have to do is know the recipient’s email address. After entering the details just head to the attachment and attach the images and videos you want to share. After attaching just click send and your files are sent directly to the person you want to share the multimedia file with.
These are the ways through which you can send video and photos without losing the quality of the file.

Features
Ever felt lazy to backup your data? The process is not only time taking but also energy consuming. The need of backing up your data by yourself is over, with SanDisk Ixpand Wireless Charger. A person can not only charge their phone but also back up selected data to the onboard storage available within the charger.
All a consumer needs to do is download the application on your device which is available inside the box as well as behind the charger. After installing the application just select the data you want to back up. Users can also select contacts from the list as well as backup. After all these steps all the user has to do is place their device on the wireless Ixpand charger and all your selected data will be backed up easily.
Most of the chargers don’t come with a power brick but SanDisk has got you covered in this condition as well. They include a fast charging brick inside the box, which can charge your device with 10W wirelessly. Yes, there are faster chargers in the market but they don’t locally sync your data while charging.
Currently, there are 3 variants available for Ixpand wireless chargers. The first is the standard charging mat with a 10W charger and 256 GB local storage capacity priced at Rs 9,999. SanDisk thought about people who don’t want storage just want to wirelessly charge their smartphone. Consumers can buy only the charging variant for Rs 2,999, which will include a 15W faster charger supporting Quick charge 3.0. Already got a fast charging brick and just want the charging mat? In that case, the consumer can go with the Ixpand wireless charging dock available at Rs 1,999.
It’s really exciting to see the technology advancing so fast and consumers are getting new features to experience having a quick solution to every small problem. Currently, in India, the product is available with only 1 storage option as compared to 3 in the international market. We also expect the company to bring more models with higher storage capacity as there is an increase in storage consumption.
After the success of the first-generation Echo Show, Amazon finally brought out its 2nd gen of Echo Show 8. The show sits exactly in between its 5-inch and 10-inch siblings. After major upgrades over amazon’s Echo dot series, an update on the show series was needed as well. Here are a few of the changes and similarities.
In This Article
Looks
Talking about the looks, not much has changed. The body has an 8-inch touch screen, which is quite responsive displaying your personalised screen that you can customise according to your taste. The screen also supports multimedia functionalities and streams. Your favourite content will be shown in a HD resolution of 1,280X800. All the button controls are housed on the top edge with microphones to capture your voice commands. On the top rim of the Echo Show 8 houses the new camera setup. Amazon has taken care of privacy by providing a microphone on/off button and a mechanical switch for the camera shutter. The device is covered with fabric like material in the back matching the colour tone of the front frame. The Echo Show 8 gen 2 is available in two colours black and white.
There are few changes in both hardware and software of the device. One major change is on the chipset, which is the new MT8183 as compared to the older MT8163 on the previous model.
Even if the previous gen never felt slow the new chipset will make the new gen snappier. Also, a major upgrade is the new 13-megapixel wide angle camera, which will zoom and pan according to your face for all the meetings and video calls you want to attend onboard.
The previous generation’s 1MP camera was not that great and the company did a good job replacing it with a decent sensor now. It feels like the same sensor used in Echo show 10 with an auto framing feature minus the motorized tracking capabilities has been picked up.
Like all the Echo devices it also supports Amazon Alexa support which will listen to all your commands with a 4 microphone setup. The smart assistant can perform tasks like playing music, streaming your favourite content, making voice and video calls on your command. The device has a dual 2.0-inch speaker with a passive bass radiator resulting in a clear non muffled sound. You can also remotely monitor your place with its camera making you worry less about your home when you are away.
With the current generation of the Echo Show 8 release company has really listened to its customers. There might not be a lot of changes than the previous gen. The company really focused on necessities and made the Echo Show 8 really value for what you spent. The device is priced at Rs 13,999 but the company is selling it at a discounted price of Rs 11,499 for a limited time.
