iOS 18 Beta Update

Highlights

  • iOS 18 now allows video recording without pausing music addressing a long-standing user complaint.
  • The update includes improvements in the Photos app.
  • The new feature will allow users to create their own soundtracked clips with only their iPhone.
  • iOS 18 is scheduled to get an official release in September 2024.

Apple has started rolling out beta versions of the upcoming iOS 18, revealing some exciting new features.

According to several media reports, one standout feature in iOS 18 is the ability to record video without pausing your music, podcast, or any other audio.

This will work whether you’re using AirPods or not.

Traditionally, starting a video recording on an iPhone interrupts any audio you are playing.

iPhone users around the world have often complained about this annoying interruption and the online community has been vocal about the much-needed change in Audio Playback functionality.

Looks like Apple has finally paid heed to their request with this “Allow Audio Playback” feature in the next iOS update.

Users have welcomed this update, which lets you continue listening to audio while recording video.

This feature is part of the broader iOS 18 update, which also includes improvements in Safari’s Distraction Control, updates to the Photos app, and new customization options.

Once released, these iOS 18 updates will not be limited to the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max but also for older models, going back to the iPhone 12 series.

Here’s how it works.

iOS 18 Adds Camera Setting to Allow iPhone Audio Playback When Shooting Video

The new setting can be found under Settings > Camera > Record Sound and is turned on by default.

This ensures that your audio playback won’t pause when you start recording video.

However, note that recordings with this feature are limited to 1440p resolution at 30 frames per second with mono sound.

For stereo sound, it’s recommended to use AirPods while recording.

In the past, Apple did try to manage music interruption during video recording as it introduced a way to record video from the camera app’s photo mode.

Users could long-press the shutter button to record videos and keep the music playing while filming.

However, the video quality when recorded this way wasn’t as good as using the dedicated video mode.

Now with the iOS 18 update, Apple has finally addressed the issue in a more efficient way.

Once you are done recording, you can then check your video in the updated Photos app.

Keep in mind that since your iPhone is recording audio from its speakers, the sound quality might not be as clean as if you added the track using a proper video editing app.

However, for everyday use, it’s more than adequate.

The community stability score for iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 1 is reported to be 7/10, with positive feedback on battery life, temperature management, and device speed.

The stable version of iOS 18 is expected to be released in September this year, coinciding with the launch of the new iPhone 16 series.

Q7. How to disable iPhone audio while recording video ?

When you install iOS 18, audio playback won’t stop during video recording sessions.

Allowing audio playback during video recording will result in mono sound.

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Choose Camera from the main list.
  • Select Record Sound.
  • Turn off the Allow Audio -Playback switch to disable the feature.

“When playing audio using the iPhone’s speaker, audio will be recorded in mono,” Apple says as a cautionary measure to its users .

If you need to shoot video while listening to a song, use your AirPods to ensure the video is recorded with stereo sound.

Only audio playback through the iPhone’s speaker results in mono sound in your captured footage.

How to add music to an iPhone video in iOS 18?

• Open Settings,go to Camera, and then to Record Sound, check that the Allow Audio Playback toggle is on (green).

• Use the music app in your phone to create the track .

• Go to camera app if it automatically opens to photo mode then swipe right to switch to video mode .

• Tap the shutter button and start your recording.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Highlights

  • Google will release the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold on August 13th.
  • The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be Google’s second foldable phone.
  • A 6.3-inch external display, an 8.03-inch internal OLED display, a new square-shaped camera bar and more.
  • Promotional video highlights the AI-driven features and “Pro-level” camera capabilities of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.
  • Leak reveals Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL prices for the US Market.

Google is set to release its new Pixel phones a couple of months earlier than usual, thanks to Samsung leaving the August slot open for big announcements.

So, mark your calendars for August 13th. We’re expecting at least three new Pixel models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

 The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be Google’s second foldable phone.

The first Pixel Fold launched last summer and was well-received, particularly for its wide external screen and slim design compared to the Galaxy Z Fold.

The Pixel 9 Pro isn’t much of a secret anymore due to numerous leaks, but it’s still exciting.

Adding to the leaks, a new promotional video recently appeared on social media, showcasing Google’s vision for an AI-driven future with the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.

In a post by X (previously known as Twitter) user @MysteryLupin, this 40-second clip highlights the phones’ AI capabilities and “Pro-level” camera features.

One standout feature is “Add Me,” which allows you to insert yourself into existing photos, using the superior rear cameras instead of the front-facing one.

As per another leak circulating in the media reports, the Pixel 9 Pro will start at $999.99 with a T-Mobile plan in the US market.

Although we can’t be certain, this price list may have originated from T-Mobile sources.

As for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it will go for $1,199 with 256GB of storage or maybe $1,199 for 512GB.

The leaked price list image (shared above) has both options, making it all rather confusing.

Pixel 9 Series Leaks Shows Size Difference Between the Two Pros

Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared official-looking renders for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL showing us the upcoming devices with some comparison shots that show the size difference between them.

Pixel 9 Pro & 9 Pro XL Sizes

From the images shared we could see Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL will feature an evident height difference with the 9 Pro rumored to feature a 6.34-inch OLED display & the 9 Pro XL is anticipated to feature a 6.73-inch panel.

Both phones seem to have similarly sized bezels & centered punch hole cutouts for the rumored 50MP selfie shooters.

From the images we can also see the different colors options for both phones – Rose, Porcelain (white), Green and Obsidian (black) for the Pixel 9 and Obsidian, Porcelain, Rose, and Hazel (green) for the Pixel 9 Pro.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold – What We Know So Far?

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold retains its former starting price of €1,899 for 256GB
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be Google’s second foldable phone

Rumours suggest it will have a 6.3-inch display with a 17.5:9 aspect ratio, reminiscent of the 16:9 screens from the past.

It will be made of metal, and while there’s no word on it being lighter, we hope the hinge design improves, allowing the phone to lay flat.

It should maintain its IPX8 water resistance, with hopes that Google might match Samsung’s particle protection in the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The back of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a new square-shaped camera bar, as teased by Google.

Expected colours for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold include Hazel, Obsidian, Porcelain, and Rose.

 When opened, the phone will reveal a new 8.03-inch display with a 6:5 aspect ratio, larger than last year’s 7.6-inch screen.

It will be an OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, matched by a 120 Hz OLED cover display on the outside.

Peak brightness should be around 1,450 nits.

Camera-wise, rumours point to a 64 MP main sensor, a 10.5 MP telephoto camera, and a 12 MP ultra-wide camera.

Details on the selfie cameras are still unclear, but we expect one on both the cover and main display.

There’s some confusion regarding the battery.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to be larger, but the battery might be slightly smaller at 4,560 mAh compared to the previous 4,821 mAh.

Charging speeds are expected to remain the same with 30 W wired and 15 W wireless.

It’s still uncertain if it will support Qi2 with a magnetic ring.

Overall, the new Pixels promise to bring exciting updates and features, especially for fans of foldable phones and advanced camera technology.

Highlight

  • MediaTek announced the Helio G100 chipset, which debuted in the Tecno Camon 30S Pro about a week ago.
  • The Helio G100 is similar to the Helio G99 but supports 200 MP main cameras.
  • Features an octa-core CPU with advanced power efficiency.
  • Built on TSMC’s 6nm process.
  • Includes Intelligent Display Sync.

MediaTek has finally introduced its Helio G100 chipset.

The official announcement came around eight days after the first phone using the chipset saw the light of the day.

Yes, we are talking about the Tecno Camon 30S Pro, which was just about a week ago.

According to the MediaTek product brief on their official website, the Helio G100 is pretty much the same as the Helio G99 in terms of CPU and GPU specs.

The main difference is the G100’s ability to support 200 MP main cameras.

 Specifying the chip’s power efficiency, MediaTek mentions in the product brief, “The MediaTek Helio G100 is manufactured using TSMC’s advanced 6nm (N6) chip production process, which significantly enhances power efficiency. This innovation provides device makers with new opportunities to develop gaming smartphones with unprecedented battery life.”

The Helio G100 features an octa-core CPU with two 2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 cores and six 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores.

It uses LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, with a maximum display resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels.

The product also mentions, “MediaTek’s Intelligent Display Sync technology boosts power-efficiency by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate, activating higher speeds only when necessary, resulting in power efficiency improvements up to 20%.”

The Helio G99 has been a popular choice for mid-range phones in LTE markets due to its lower price compared to similar-performing Dimensity chipsets.

As camera technology has advanced since 2022, the Helio G100 now supports 200 MP single cameras.

It also supports 16 + 16 MP dual shooting and 32 MP video capture at 30 fps, which were already available on the G99.

Additionally, the new chip includes a feature called “Elevator Mode,” which quickly restores cellular connection when emerging from areas without coverage, like tunnels or elevators.

It supports dual 4G SIMs with VoLTE and ViLTE.

MediaTek is already supplying the Helio G100 to customers, so we can expect to see more phones with this chipset in the near future.

In comparison to Q2 2023, the iPad Pro’s sales has grown by 5%, the vanilla iPad’s is still the same, the iPad Air and iPad mini shares both went down to making space for iPad Pro sales to grow.

The new iPad Pro models launched in May, in the middle of Q2, and that had an impact on the sales .

The new iPad Air models launched at the same time, but it didn’t have any impact.

The new iPad Pro Gains Share in the Market becomes the Best Selling iPad
In the June 2024 quarter, iPad Pro (both the 11-inch and 13-inch models) contributed to 43% of total iPad sales.

As we have seen with many other Apple launches the first-acting consumers seem to be attracted to the high-end, most expensive models available, like the iPad Pros.

Price seems to play an important role in the consistency of the sale performance & output.

iPad Pro sales represented 43% of total iPad sales in the second quarter of this year
The new iPad Pro gained some share in the quarter.

CIRP wants to access the market share stabilization for the iPads for one or two quarters ahead to make their final conclusion about the consumer reactions .

They would be sure by then if the iPad Pro success in sales was just for the launch time frame of the newest generation or are there any other reasons to support its sale success.

The iPad Pro represents an absolute leader for pros, creators, and power users who need nothing less than the best in performance, display quality, and productivity features.

It is a real powerhouse with its next-generation M4 chip, stunning OLED display, and compatibility with the latest accessories.

But for a casual user who wants to have a flexible tablet for entertainment, light productivity, and general use, an iPad Air is an excellent value.

Its capable M2 processor, bright display, and compatibility with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard make for a balanced device in performance and price.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to your specific needs, budget, and preferences.

Whether you opt for the cutting-edge iPad Pro or the versatile iPad Air, Apple’s latest tablet offerings are poised to redefine the tablet experience for years to come.

What is the difference in the pricing of iPad Pro & iPad Air?

Undoubtedly, the iPad Pro commands a premium price, with the 11-inch model starting at Rs 99,900 for the Wi-Fi variant and Rs 119,900 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular option.

The larger 13-inch model demands an even higher investment, starting at Rs 129,900 for the Wi-Fi version and Rs 149,900 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular configuration.

In contrast, the iPad Air offers a more budget-friendly alternative, with the 11-inch model priced at Rs 59,900 for the Wi-Fi variant and Rs 79,900 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular option.

The larger 13-inch model starts at Rs 74,900 for the Wi-Fi version and Rs 94,900 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular configuration.

Crimson Shadow: Redefining Classics with Modern Elegance

The OnePlus Open Apex Edition perfectly illustrates OnePlus’ iconic “modern elegance” design philosophy.

The brand-new colorway is inspired by the classic OnePlus red tone while paying special tribute to the Hasselblad 503CW 60 Years Victor Red Edition by exquisitely blending subtle hues of luxury materials like leather to create an undeniable opulence.

The darker, almost veiled tone offers a sense of mystery and evocation, hinting at an enduring timelessness.

Captivating and almost indulgent, understated yet eye-catching, the design embodies the very essence of “Never Settle” and OnePlus’ reverence for Hasselblad’s classic masterpiece.

Adorned with an understated yet premium vegan leather back cover, the phone boasts a diamond-like pattern and vibrant orange accent on the Alert Slider, along with a dazzling light-reflective CD pattern on the camera dial encased in a stunning luxury glass dome.

The Apex Edition offers a finish befitting of the most prestigious OnePlus foldable phone to date, symbolizing the pinnacle of OnePlus flagship devices while conveying powerful and unforgettable energy to users.

“There’s a true synergy between Hasselblad and OnePlus. Seeing how OnePlus has integrated our cameras into their latest products with such innovative and picture-perfect design is like unboxing a long-awaited gift,” said Bronius Rudnickas, Global Marketing Manager at Hasselblad. “The Hasselblad 503CW 60 Years Victor Red Edition is iconic, especially with its legendary burgundy-red leather accents contrasting beautifully against the other metallic silver elements. We’re truly thrilled to witness this classic color scheme revived on the OnePlus Open Apex Edition, which showcases equally impeccable craftsmanship and intricate technology that allows you to feel the complexity and delicacy behind the scenes.”

Sharing Hasselblad’s belief in producing best-in-class products to immortalize the most iconic moments in life, the OnePlus Open Apex Edition goes beyond pushing technological boundaries to become an enduring masterpiece worthy of preservation in its own right.

Storage Upgrades for Enhanced Foldable Experiences

This enhanced 16GB RAM enables smoother multitasking in all situations from work to play, whether editing documents while attending meetings and making calls, or gaming while watching YouTube tutorials, reading walkthroughs on Chrome, and even browsing Reddit — all at the same time.

The industry-leading 1TB ROM meanwhile allows for the storage of a vast library of photos, videos, documents, and more, without the worry of running out of space.

With one of the most advanced RAM and ROM configurations on a foldable smartphone, the OnePlus Open Apex Edition promises a luxurious, fast, and smooth foldable experience that is future-proof for years to come.

HIGHLIGHTS

* Intel 18A fabrication process will be used to manufacture a new generation of chips: Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest.

* Intel says these are out of the fabrication and have powered on and boosted the OS.

* The production of these two products is on track to start in 2025.

* Intel’s foundry business is progressing with the release of the 18A Process Design Kit (PDK) 1.0, essential for completing chip designs.

Intel today announced that its lead products on Intel 18A, Panther Lake (AI PC client processor) and Clearwater Forest (server processor), are out of the fab and have powered-on and booted operating systems.

These milestones were achieved less than two quarters after tape-out, with both products on track to start production in 2025.

The company also announced that the first external customer is expected to tape out on Intel 18A in the first half of next year.

In July, Intel released the 18A Process Design Kit (PDK) 1.0, design tools that enable foundry customers to harness the capabilities of RibbonFET gate-all-around transistor architecture and PowerVia backside power delivery in their designs on Intel 18A.

Electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) partners are updating their offerings to enable customers to begin their final production designs.

These milestones show Intel Foundry is the first to successfully implement both RibbonFET gate-all-around transistors and PowerVia backside power technology for foundry customers.

In successfully booting operating systems without additional configurations or modifications, both Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest are clearly indicating the health of Intel 18A — the company’s leading-edge process technology that is expected to return Intel to process leadership in 2025.

Other signs of health include Panther Lake DDR memory performance already running at target frequency.

Next year’s Clearwater Forest, the archetype of future CPU and AI chips, will mark the industry’s first mass-produced, high-performance solution combining RibbonFET, PowerVia, and Foveros Direct 3D for higher density and power handling.

Clearwater Forest is also the lead product for the Intel 3-T base-die technology.

Leveraging Intel Foundry’s systems foundry approach, both products are expected to deliver significant improvements in performance per watt, transistor density and cell utilization.

In gaining access to the Intel 18A PDK 1.0 last month, the company’s EDA and IP partners are updating their tools and design flows to enable external foundry customers to begin their Intel 18A chip designs.

This is a critical enabling milestone for Intel’s foundry business.

These core Intel 18A technologies enable greater processor scale and efficiency, which is required to drive forward AI computing.

RibbonFET allows for tight control over the electrical current in the transistor channel, enabling further miniaturization of chip components while reducing power leakage, a critical factor as chips become increasingly dense.

PowerVia optimizes signal routing by separating power delivery from the front side of the wafer, thus reducing resistance and improving power efficiency.

Together, these technologies demonstrate a powerful combination that could lead to substantial gains in computing performance and battery life in future electronic devices.

Intel’s first-to-market position with both technologies is a win for foundry customers worldwide.
