Apple Event: Apple confirms California Streaming event for September 14, may unveil iPhone 13 series

It’s that time of the year when the Cupertino based tech firm Apple usually makes its biggest announcement of the year. Yes, you guessed it right we are talking about the most anticipated Apple iPhone 13 series. The good news is that the company has officially announced its upcoming event- California Streaming on September 14.  The last time when Apple hosted its event it titled it ‘Spring Loaded’ but this time the company has titled it ‘California Streaming’. The Apple event will take place on September 14 at 10 am PDT, or 10.30 pm IST. As the tagline says, it is going to be another virtual event that will be streamed live from Apple Park. Traditionally the company never reveals anything about what products it is going to present at its upcoming event and going by its tradition this time also the Apple has not revealed anything. But speculations suggest we might see the new lineup of iPhone that is iPhone 13 and it might also be possible that Watch Series 7, and the AirPods 3 are likely to make an appearance. Apple Event: Apple confirms California Streaming event for September 14, may unveil iPhone 13 series At its previous Apple event, the company unveiled the new iPad Pro lineup but at the California Streaming event, Apple may introduce the iPhone 13 series because at the moment lots of rumours and leaks around the upcoming iPhone lineup are doing the rounds on the internet. Normally Apple announces its new iPhone at the fall event to recall the last time it was held in October but things might change this time as the delay last time was due to the production delay during the pandemic. Also, the company’s event poster usually gives out some hints but looking at the glowing Apple logo an-always-on display is expected. Moreover, the poster also shows the low light scenario which benefits from improved nighttime photography.  To give a better perspective Apple’s SVP of worldwide marketing has shared a video on Twitter that also shows the glowing logo while the glowing stars also indicate the upcoming iPhone 13 series might include astrophotography mode similar to what we have seen on the Google Pixel devices. The devices are also tipped to get a satellite connectivity feature that will provide connectivity even without cellular coverage but that is to be expected to be available in select markets only.  If that is to be believed then along with the next generation of the Apple iPhone the company could also announce the timeline for the release of iOS 15 at the Apple Event. This time as well Apple is stated to present four devices iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Max that will come with a new design upgrade, improved battery life, cameras and more. At this year’s WWDC Apple spoke about the upcoming WatchOS 8 operating system for its smartwatches. The company could also include this at its upcoming event. The Apple Watch Series 7 will be succeeding the Watch Series 6 that will bring new features, sleek design and improved battery life. The device is also expected to have a blood glucose monitoring sensor.

Philips Fresh Air Mask review: Now breathe easy

With the pandemic lot of Indian and international companies started to think better and went to the drawing board to build better masks and breathing products. One such company is Philips that innovated and come out with a new digital face mask. It is called Philips Fresh Air Mask and we have been using it every time we step out of the house. What is its main USP? It has a rechargeable exhaust fan within. This is our review of the Philips Fresh Air Mask and should you buy it?

Philips Fresh Air Mask review: Design

The Philips Fresh Air Mask comes in a perfect square navy-blue box. When opened, the first thing you see is a black mask with a silver contraption attached to it. Next, you will find the interchangeable air filter, a USB Type-C charging cable and a manual. The main front end of the mask is built of a mesh-like tough cloth material, which is washable. The silver contraption we spoke about earlier is actually the removable exhaust fan unit. This is connected to a small rechargeable battery inside. The battery compartment also has a USB charging port on it.Philips-Fresh-Air-Mask-battery The filter you get with the Philips Fresh Air Mask is very easy to fit into the main head of the mask and comes with an adjustable nose pin. You can plug the circular exhaust window (in the filter) over the fan magnetically and the sides get attached neatly to the hooks on the left and right sides of the inside of the mask. The straps on this digital face mask are adjustable and you can tighten and loosen them up with ease. The material used all around the Philips Fresh Air Mask is very nice and has a premium, rich feel to it. Philips-Fresh-Air-Mask--fan

Philips Fresh Air Mask review: Performance

Now, coming to the performance of the Philips Fresh Air Mask. We found it to be fine for women but slightly small for men or people with large faces. A square inch larger would have been perfect. Nonetheless, that does not mean that the face mask is not good. It is very-very good. It does what Philips intended it to do. It pushes out all the CO2 and hot air from within. The fan has 3-speed modes, which can be accessed with the LED-lit button on the fan panel from the outside. Sweat is the biggest problem of any facemask, but with this one (thanks to the fan) you hardly find any sweat drops on your face even when you are in hot temperatures. Charging the Philips Fresh Air Mask is also very easy and one can do that with any USB charger using the supplied cable.Philips-Fresh-Air-Mask-inside The Philips Fresh Air Mask can filter out 95% 3um particles, as the company says, and we did feel a difference when we started using this mask over the regular masks you get in the market. To clean the mask, one must remove the battery with the fan unit, which pushes out easily. The same way you can place it in, which again clicks in easily. If the filter (which by the way is 4 layered) is getting old and dirty one can purchase more from Philips for Rs 2,990. The battery of the mask lasted us for 3.5 hours at medium speed. Even without the fan, the mask is very useable, as it is light in weight and well built. But it will not push out the hot air and carbon die oxide as easily.

Verdict

So, is the Philips Fresh Air Mask at Rs 6,990 (available on Amazon) worth buying? On most counts yes. It is the latest in face mask technology, hence Philips is asking for a premium. Put it this way, you cannot put a price on saving yourself from the deadly coronavirus. And in the process, if you can keep your face cool and fresh then it is a good deal. With the black version, a pink version is also available for the ladies. It can be a good gym companion as well, as it will keep your face cool during a hot workout.

Pros

Comfortable Exhaust pushes out CO2 swiftly Washable and reusable

Cons

Slightly small for people with large faces Some might find it expensive Battery life could have been better

Rumoured Specifications, release date and price for MacBook Pro 16

MacBook 16-inch 2021 will arrive anytime soon with the most significant upgrades to the MacBook series in years. Apple has been listening to its consumers a lot and that gives a great image of the feature. The company anticipated not just a basic mini LED display and upgraded M1X chip or rumoured M2 chip but also introducing the much-needed ports, which consumers have been missing for a long.

Expected Macbook 2021 Specifications

The exact specification is unknown but with the release of the 13-inch MacBook M1 chip, we can be sure that the company will be using its silicon instead of Intel chips. The M1X will contain a 10-core CPU with 8 large and 2 efficient cores. The present M1 chip is configured in a 4 + 4 configuration. The present GPU core count of eight may be increased or quadrupled. Another rumour suggests that Apple has ordered to produce a new M2 processor for its next-generation MacBooks, but not the current upcoming Pro devices. It reportedly will have a 4-nanometer manufacturing node, which promises a higher performance gain without sacrificing power efficiency.  Also Read: 5 accessories every MacBook owner should have MacBooks are always famous for giving good battery life. The last year M1 MacBook Pro could last 20 hours with a battery size of 58.2 WHr. It is rumoured that the current-gen laptops will have a 100 watt-hour battery and even with the new chipset the power consumption will increase as well, but it should be enough to last more than a day. FAA restrictions dictate that you may only bring 100-watt hours on a plane and thus we cannot expect Apple to expand it more than that.

Design

The most significant change that we can notice in the 2021 MacBook is the removal of the touch bar. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the ever-changing touchscreen bar will be replaced with a set of physical keys, similar to those seen on other laptops and pre-2016 MacBooks. We expect the upcoming tablets to get access to the touch bar when Apple releases its iPad with AMOLED panels. Kuo also announced that the new 16-inch MacBook pro-2021 will have a wide range of connectors, which will eliminate the need for dongles. It’s the first time since 2015 that the company has decided to offer customers other than USB-C. Users can expect an HDMI and SD card reader to make a comeback. The newer models will also have a new 1080p webcam, three thunderbolt Type-C ports and an upgraded MagSafe port.  Read Also: Apple launches new lineup of M1-powered Macs After the wireless charger by MagSafe was introduced along with iPhone 12, we can also expect that it makes a comeback to the new MacBooks as well with a pill-shaped design. The consumers can expect the return of break-away cable, which the Old MacBook pro owners are used to. The new MacBook Pro is coming soon to India as well. Globally, it is expected to arrive between September and October. The expected price is unknown but it will be exciting to see what more new things the company has to offer to its customers. We also expect that there will be an increase in price as there is global chip scarcity. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3XL users are complaining of a bricking issue: Resolution still awaited

There are lots of complaints by consumers who own a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3XL smartphone that their devices are bricking or becoming unresponsive. Many users also reported on the company’s support forums as well as Reddit, that their devices are shutting down for no reason. According to the complaints posted the device is booting in a recovery mode by Qualcomm naming ”Emergency Download mode” (ELD) instead of normal Android boot screen making their device basically useless. Some of the Pixel 3 owners also reported that there is a total shutdown that occurred in their phone after the security update, while some woke up in the morning to find out their devices are bricked after shutdown. Many suffering from this issue also complained that seeking help from Google is of no use as their devices are out of warranty. Read Also: Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro with Snapdragon 888+ 5G chipset launched globally The concern of users is genuine, as the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL were launched back in October 2018. So it’s concluding that the majority of the devices sold during that period will be out of warranty by now and about to lose support from Google soon. The company has not specified if this is a widespread concern or issue that all the users are facing. Though it’s a matter of concern by the users that either they have to pay to get their device repaired or have to buy a new device. pixel 3 and pixel 3XL bricked Read Also: Oppo Enco Buds TWS earphones confirmed to launch in India on September 8 The same case like this happened earlier this year and the company announced that it will provide an extended warranty for the affected region on all pixel 4XL devices. Google figured out some issues that were causing the devices to shut down frequently.  Some problems included uncertain power-related issues, including problems with wired and wireless charging, faster-than-expected battery drain, random restarts, and unable to power on the phone were reported by users that led the company to extend warranties for another year. Google started repair programs for Google Pixel 4XL purchased in Singapore, Japan, the USA and Taiwan. It is an alarming situation especially when a company like Google is making the same mistake again. It raises a lot of questions about what exactly the company is doing beta testing for before releasing any update. Incidents like this damage the company’s reputation a lot and its consumers think twice before making a purchase. Pixel 3 is still on sale in India, we advise it’s better to stay away from the device for now until the issue is resolved by Google.

Oppo Reno 6 5G Review: A splendid smartphone in the price segment

This year lots of companies in India introduced smartphones around the Rs 30,000 price segment. Recently, Oppo launched its much-awaited Reno 6 5G smartphone in the country. The device seems to be a value for money device compared to its elder sibling Oppo Reno 6 Pro. Yes, this phone comes with photography-focused features along with a 65W charger, USB Type-C wired earphones and a Type-C cable, which is quite rare to get nowadays.  The handset has been smartly designed. So if you are planning to buy a new smartphone we hope that our review of Oppo Reno 6 5G may help you understand its performance, design and most importantly its camera experience. Here is our Oppo Reno 6 5G Review.

Oppo Reno 6 5G Review: Design and Display

To begin with, let’s talk about the unique design of Oppo Reno 6 5G. Yes, we call it unique because of its slim form factor. The phone comes with a metal frame that looks premium. The in-hand feel is also good; the handset is not too big nor too small but just perfect for single-hand usage. Interestingly, the device is very light and weighs just 180g even when it has a lot of metal on it. It has flat edges and the case fits very well (which is of top quality).  Oppo Reno 6 Review: Design and Display The rear panel comes with a shimmery effect. We got our hands on the Stellar Black. The triple rear camera module is also not protruding so the phone does not wobble when laid flat on a surface. Upfront it comes with an AMOLED display which plays house to a selfie camera hidden inside a punch hole at the top left corner of the screen. There is Gorilla Glass Protection on the front and AG glass on the back. So it is a combination of both metal and glass design. Oppo Reno 6 Review: Design and Display Talking about the ports, below there is a speaker grill, a Type C port, a microphone and a SIM card slot. On the left, there are two antenna bands on each corner of the metal frame and a volume button. Above there is a noise-cancelling microphone along with 2 antennas and on the right-hand side there is a power button with a green tinge and yes here also you will see the antenna bands.  Oppo Reno 6 Review: Design and Display Ok now that’s done, let’s talk about the display of the device. Let’s find out if it is as impressive as its design. It features a beautiful 6.43-inch full-HD+ hole-punch AMOLED display offering 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution. You will get a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate support with 800 nits of peak brightness on this display. The screen comes with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It should be noted that the Pro version comes with a curved display, while this one has a completely flat one. In addition to this, the screen has an HDR 10+ support along with a 91.7 percent screen-to-body ratio. This is why it has thin bezels on the sides with a not so noticeable chin.   The outdoor visibility is good even in direct sunlight. The 90Hz refresh rate is well optimised and yes there is no lag. The touch display is very responsive and the colours along with details are impressive too. All in all, it gives you an immersive experience. The always-on display is the cherry on the cake. Although AMOLED panels are energy-efficient, you have the option to turn on the Dark Mode, which provides more endurance. The viewing angles are good and the Widevine L1 support makes it perfect for HD streaming.

Oppo Reno 6 5G Review: Performance and Camera

On the specs sheet, the device comes with impressive specifications. So let’s find out how well the phone performs in reality. The Reno 6 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC, which is based on 6nm architecture. The chipset comes with 5G connectivity and is capable of handling high-end gaming and heating issues with ease. Also, the Mali G68 GPU has been incorporated for impressive graphics performance.  While gaming we didn’t come across any drop in performance. All the games like BGMI, COD, Asphalt 9 are playable at medium settings. Surprisingly, there was no heating issue at all during intensive gaming sessions. Apart from a good gaming experience, this handset comes with the ability of RAM expansion. Yes, you get the option to expand the RAM between 2GB to 5GB virtually. This feature is good when it comes to multitasking. Not only this Oppo Reno 6 comes with 13 5G bands, which makes it a future-ready device. Even when it comes to day to day usage the phone is absolutely a great performer.  Oppo Reno 6 Review: Performance and Camera You can take screenshots with just a three-finger swipe. What’s cooler on this phone is that if you want to take a screenshot of a particular section then in that case just hold the three fingers on the part and simply swipe it down/up slowly the way you select text and it’s done. Over that, if you want that certain part to be translated simply tap on the translate option, which will appear on the screen after the screenshot. You get a lot of options to edit the screenshot which is appreciated. Also, you get options to customise dark mode as per your liking. You can choose from enhanced, medium and Gentle. Consumers can also choose to select the style of the fingerprint and the overall colours of the UI. All these features give you a more refined flagship-like experience. Though the phone does have some bloatware you can easily uninstall them.  On the imaging front, Oppo Reno 6 5G is highlighted with a triple rear camera set up that includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, 2-megapixel macro camera. Upfront there is a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Oppo Reno 6 Review: Performance and Camera The daylight images have good details and are well optimised. The colours are punchy and sharp. In portrait mode, the depth created between the subject and the background does not look unnatural. Talking about the low light shots, the night mode works well even in ultra-wide settings. Also, we noticed a minor change in the colour temperature when we switched from standard to ultrawide mode. 
Macro Shots
The colours become more saturated and eye-pleasing when AI mode is turned on. In terms of selfies, even during harsh sunlight, you will not see any burnouts or blown-out highlights. That’s how the front camera also controls the dynamic range so perfectly. The edge detection in portrait mode is perfect too. The macro mode is what we loved the most. We got some incredible shots from the macro lens. The images are so detailed, sharp and natural you would not believe it has been shot from a mid-range smartphone camera. 
Night time images
The cameras on the phone are quite good at controlling dynamic range even when there is direct sunlight when shooting videos at 1080p in ultra-wide mode. In terms of exposure as well, the lenses adapt very smoothly. When recording a 1080p video in standard camera mode, the quality is better than the ultra-wide considering the sensor.  Oppo Reno 6 5G also offers you to shoot moving pictures in dual view video mode. This feature makes the device perfect for vlogging. There is no option to shoot 4K videos at 60fps, this is something we were missing. The video stabilisation in 4K@30fps is not that great, however, the 1080p option will offer you a well-stabilised video recording.  The company has given an ultra steady option on the front camera for stabilised video recording, too. There is a dedicated option for the bokeh effect, which comes on both rear as well as on the front camera with the 720p resolution. The Bokeh flare on the Oppo Reno is the most interesting and unique feature of the phone. We only get to see this feature in cinema cameras, where the lighting behind the subjects gets blurred out and looks flared giving a scintillating effect.  Considering the price, the camera performance is better than its competitors in the segment. The Reno 6 5G is backed by a 4,300mAh battery that can last for a whole day on not-so-heavy usage. Otherwise, battery drain is not an issue anymore as the device is shipped with a 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charger, which takes about 30 minutes to charge the phone from zero to 100 percent.

Verdict

So here we come to the conclusion of the Oppo Reno 6 5G review. From its design, build to cameras, and battery life this phone is total value for money. Performance-wise there was no lag while multitasking or switching between apps. The games can be played at medium graphics, which doesn’t throttle the performance of the phone. As for the cameras, the still photography was good but it could have been better in the video department. We personally loved this handset for its boxy design and beautiful cameras. You can buy it, it would be a worthy purchase.

Pros

  • Fast charging
  • 5G connectivity
  • Sleek design and display

Cons

  • Lacks 3.5mm headphones jack
  • No memory expansion

10 unnecessary software and apps you should uninstall in Windows 10

There are tons of applications on your Windows that a person might have installed on his/her system but either they are suspicious or the company has stopped its support. It has been often that a particular application is no longer needed by you or your system but is still installed and eating away essential resources in the background. This list contains 10 of such applications that need to be uninstalled from your system.

1. CCleanerCCleaner

The cleaner application was once the most popular and trusted application for your Windows machine. The application was particularly popular to clear up junk and keep your computer clutter-free. The reputation of the application went downhill when avast accrued it. The application started to force updates in the background without consumers consent. As soon as the application restarted the data collection option gets enabled on its own. There was news in the software industries that the CCleaner itself started to distribute malware unknowingly. There are built-in applications on your Windows to clear up junk files and third party cleaners are not needed nowadays.

2. QuickTime

QuickTime Quicktime is Apple’s video player service. It’s still running strong on macOS though the company has not provided any update since 2016 for Windows. A company named Trend Micro announced that the software has few vulnerabilities soon after Apple announced the deprecation of the software for Windows. Due to a lack of support by the company those issues were never patched up. Uninstalling QuickTime won’t be any big issue as there are tons of third party players available in the market.

3. uTorrent

uTorrent The gold standard of downloading a torrent file for a long time. The dispute started when the company was found to be bundling cryptocurrency mining software without letting users have any idea about it. Aside from this uTorrent started to have a ton of ads filled in the interface. Combining all this made the system use a lot of resources in the background just to generate profit for the company. There is less worry for users now as there are many torrent clients available like qBittorrent, which is free and the interface has no ads. The company also pushes regular updates, which are very necessary for any software.  Read Also: How to get rid of duplicate or blurry photos in your iPhone?

5. Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player The company left the application’s support by the end of December 2020. Even if the flash player has been blocked by all the modern browsers, there are still local files in your system that can result in security vulnerabilities. A similar plugin by Adobe which is the Shockwave player was discontinued by them in 2019. It’s unlikely for you to find any website that supports these plugins. Concluding this, these relics of an era gone are not needed in your computer system and need to be removed as even Adobe isn’t updating or supporting them anymore.

6. Microsoft Silverlight

Microsoft Silverlight Similar to Adobe Flash it is also a framework that once was used by many websites that enables rich media content. At the current time, there are only a handful of websites supporting this. Talking about the support by browser, only internet explorer allows this plugin as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have left the support for years. Even Microsoft’s own new browser Edge is not compatible with it. There is nothing lost in uninstalling Silverlight as it’s only available in Windows for mere compatibility reasons.

7. Toolbars and browser extensions

Toolbars and browser extensions There is a very useful extension out there that really helps a user in day to day life. Apart from them come the spamming extensions and unnecessary toolbars. These unnecessary extensions may even attack and take up all your sensitive data from the background. The modern version of popular browsers took action against most of these notorious Toolbars and extensions, however, they are still available hiding over the internet. The best way is to uninstall these toolbars of any kind and tidy up the extensions installed on the browser.

8. Java

JAVA Until one is an Android developer or a developer that needs java development tools it’s not needed to remain in your computer. For others, this is another media runtime software that not many websites use nowadays. The runtime includes two components. The first one being Java on the desktop and the other being the plugin for the browser. It was also found out the browser extension has many security problems. Modern browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have stopped supporting both as well. A day to day user won’t feel any difference in browsing after uninstalling these components of Java.

9. Pre-installed apps by manufacturers

Pre-installed apps by manufacturers Unless one is running Windows own Surface Pro other companies include a lot of their own bloatware pre-installed. Laptops from HP, Dell, Lenovo and Toshiba are highly prone to this problem. Some of them are photo applications, gaming tools and side options for Windows utility tools which are highly unnecessary. Though we advise checking each and every utility provided by the manufacturers as some tools are made to check drivers and update BIOS which is very necessary and come in handy to run your system smoothly and timely update it. It’s always good to double-check before altering company-specific applications. 

10. Windows Bloatware

Windows Bloatware Not only are the bloatware from manufacturers annoying, but Windows also has a fair amount of it. Some unnecessary games and Xbox applications might be useful for some but not helpful to others. The good thing about them is the majority of them can be uninstalled without hassle. Check for the applications installed on the system and watch out for such applications that seem not useful. Again, we advise double-checking for the application one is doubtful for as many applications are essentials. These are a few applications one should remove from their system as soon as possible to clear up some clutter and get a smoother experience. We also advise users to keep on checking Apps>Apps and feature section on your system to know of any unwanted applications. Users on Windows 8 and 7 can click the start button and search programs and features for a similar list.

0
Soon WhatsApp will be introducing message reaction features on its platform. The upcoming features will be similar to what we have seen on Instagram and Messenger. As of now the functionality is under development and has been spotted by the WhatApp updates tracker. The users will be able to apply their favourite emojis as message reactions the way they do on Twitter and iMessage. As per the latest screenshot shared by WABetaInfo possibly, WhatsApp will release the Message Reactions feature in a future update. As shown in the shared screenshot a message contains 7 reactions that are possible to react to using any emoji you want. As per the report, the reaction isn’t anonymous, so everyone in the conversation will be able to see who reacted to a specific message. To those who are unaware Message reaction is a way to express emotions via emojis and other social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, iMessage already support this feature.

The screenshot was taken from a version of WhatsApp for iOS but reportedly the WhatsApp Message Reaction functionality on WhatsApp beta for Android is under the pipeline. “Seen that the feature is under development, things may change before the release, but this is the current situation: any emoji can be used and everyone can see who reacted,” the report stated. Previously the chatting application owned by Facebook was spotted testing WhatsApp: reactions. The instant messaging app at first is likely to present a message when the user is using an outdated version of WhatsApp that does not support receiving reactions. Suppose the user is using an outdated version of the app, in that case then they will not be able to see the reaction but WhatsApp will present a different message, asking to update WhatsApp to see the reaction. Besides WhatsApp for Android and iOS, this feature is also expected to be expanded to the Web/Desktop version as well. As of now, there are no exact details when the company will officially announce message reaction but hopefully, it may arrive to devices in the future updates.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
