Of course, the iPhone 13 doesn’t come with a power adapter, but you can purchase one from Apple for $20 or $30. Now, it appears that those goods are soon to be replaced by a new and improved 35W brick with two USB-C connections instead of one. Reportedly, Apple is preparing to release a 35W Power Adapter with twin USB-C connectors.
Is Apple about to release its first dual USB-C power adapter?
The report’s source is Apple’s own website (screenshot below), which released a “help page” for “Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter” by accident before promptly removing it.
It’s still unknown when Apple intends to release the product, and it’s also conceivable that it’s been abandoned entirely. The support document, on the other hand, states unequivocally that the accessory exists:
Use the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter and a USB-C cable (not included) to charge your device. Connect a USB-C cable to either port on the power adapter, extend the electrical prongs (if necessary), and then plug the power adapter firmly into the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is easily accessible for disconnecting. Connect the other end of the cable to your device.
This would be the first time Apple has introduced any form of dual USB-C charger ever. The 35W of electricity could charge several iPhones, an iPhone and an Apple Watch, or a variety of other accessory combinations. The iPhone 13 Pro Max, for example, can fast-charge at a rate of up to 27W. This means that the dual USB-C wall adapter may charge both an iPhone 13 Pro Max and an Apple Watch at the same time. In fact, any USB-C wall connector that produces 5W of electricity may be used to charge the Apple Watch Series 7.
Another piece of proof suggesting this item is on the way comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In his tweet last month he said that Apple was working on a new GaN (gallium nitride) charger. He alos stated that it will be available later this year.
Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter Availability
Apple already sells a $50 power adaptor that provides 30W of electricity to a single device. According to 9to5Mac, the improved version will most likely to feature gallium nitride (GaN) technology. It is also going to be smaller in size. It could possibly be the “around 30W” GaN charger that Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned in a tweet last month. At the time, Kuo stated that this power adapter will feature a “revolutionary form factor design” and would be available this year.
The support document stated that each port will function in one of four modes: 5VDC/3A, 9VDC/3A, 15VDC/2.33A, or 20VDC/1.75A, according to the 9to5Mac source. That much electricity could easily charge two devices at 15W each, or one at 27W and the other at 5W.
According to the 9to5Mac story, the support page also doesn’t mention when the charger will be available. However, it does say that a USB-C cable will not be included in the packing.

OnePlus is working on its first foldable smartphone, according to PriceBaba and tipster Yogesh Brar, although it is anticipated to be a copy of the new Oppo Find N folding phone that debuted in China recently. For the unversed, BBK Electronics owns Oppo and OnePlus, so there’s a chance the rumour is accurate. It’s probable that the upcoming foldable OnePlus phone is a renamed version of the Oppo Find N, which debuted in China last December.

WhatsApp is constantly changing itself to improve the user experience by adding new features and replacing the old ones. However, before rolling out any new feature, the instant messaging software gives it to a few beta users. In this way users get to evaluate the compatibility before releasing it to the general public. Both Android and iOS users get to test the same. Now, WhatsApp has recently added tools for disappearing messages as well as a drawing editor for Android users.
WhatsApp New features: Changes in Media Visibility
For disappearing messages, the platform is implementing changes to the media visibility option. Previously, all media files were automatically saved to the Camera Roll. However, with this new version, users would have to explicitly adjust the settings. A feature called ‘View Once’ had been added to the Windows beta app by another WhatsApp update to the Universal Windows Platform app. The function, which was first made available to Android and iOS users last year, allows a message to self-destruct once it has been viewed once.
WhatsApp is introducing some changes to media visibility!
WhatsApp is now rolling out to all users some changes to the way media from disappearing chats is automatically saved on the latest beta and public builds of WhatsApp for Android and iOS.https://t.co/MOxgeT2IHl
— WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) April 8, 2022
WABetaInfo found that “WhatsApp is now automatically turning off the option “media visibility” for disappearing chats on WhatsApp for Android, which let people view media in their phone’s gallery. This is to ensure a better privacy experience when using disappearing messages and to help keep media more private in disappearing chat threads.”
He further added, “In addition, WhatsApp is rolling out the same change on WhatsApp for iOS, where the option “Save to Camera Roll” is automatically turned off for disappearing chats. In this case, images, videos, and GIFs are never automatically saved in your camera roll if the general setting is enabled.”
In disappearing conversations, you can still save media manually: certain Android users already have the ability to save media manually. You may save media in WhatsApp for iOS as you normally would. The adjustments are being handed out to all beta and public build users. Also, these should be visible within 24 hours, he added.
WhatsApp New feature: New Drawing tools
Along with changes to the Media Visibility, WhatsApp is testing out new drawing tools at the bottom of the screen. It includes a new pencil and a blur tool. According to WABetaInfo, the blur feature was previously only available on WhatsApp for iOS, but it is now available on WhatsApp for Android as well.

In a latest tweet, Parag Agrawal, the Twitter CEO has announced that Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk is not joining the company’s board. Earlier, Agarwal expressed excitement over the Musk’s joining of Twitter’s board after Musk became Twitter’s largest shareholder. Elon Musk has bought 9.2% shares of Twitter at around $3 billion.
“Elon has decided not to join our board. I sent a brief note to the company, sharing with you all here (sic),” reads a tweet by Agarwal. A short note is also included with his tweet which does not clarify as to why Musk is not joining the Twitter board.
In the note included with his tweet, Agarwal mentions that the Twitter will continue to value input from our shareholders whether they are on our Board or not. Elon is the biggest shareholder of Twitter and we will remain open to his input,” Agarwal wrote.
The latest twist is quite interesting as Musk has been posting and asking several questions about the future of Twitter and its policies. In one of his tweets, Tesla CEO wrote that everyone who is signing up for Twitter Blue (a paid subscription service the company is testing in select countries) needs to get an authentication checkmark and that it should have no ads.
He also insists Twitter is a key public platform, and asked his followers in a poll whether Twitter is rigorously adhering to the principles of free speech. He also asked his followers whether the Twitter headquarters should be converted into a shelter for homeless, since no one uses it anymore.

PS Plus free games: April 2022
For March, PS Plus offered such deadly games as Ghostrunner, Team Sonic Racing, and Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, and we know that you must’ve grabbed them. Now, it’s time for April stunners. We have on the list the ultimate Hood: Outlaws and legends, Slay the Spire, and our childhood favourite Spongebob Squarepants.
This is a terrific opportunity to test out PlayStation games you would not have tried otherwise, whether they’re independent games that slipped under your notice or games that were too pricey to purchase. PlayStation Plus games are only accessible for a month, so take advantage of them while you can. So, here’s a detailed view of what lies ahead in the future for you!
Hood: Outlaws & Legends (PS5 & PS4)
Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a 2021 multiplayer heist game set in mediaeval times. Faced with an uncontrollable state, competing gangs compete in daring heists to hit the affluent where it hurts and gain clout among the oppressed. Whether you’re a folk hero or a gold-hungry bandit, only the greatest will walk away with your hard-earned loot. Assemble a four-player team and carry out nail-biting heists in PvP, PvE, and hybrid modes, penetrating huge mediaeval landscapes in search of wealth.
The game is developed by Sumo Digital and published by Focus Entertainment. It is the first PvPvE multiplayer game released in 2000. Choose a character from one of five distinct classes based on your personal playstyle or team strategy. Your team’s composition can fit a stealthy long-range strategy, devastating close combat, or a more balanced, cookie-cutter approach in this game where teamwork is crucial. Form a team and choose from a variety of modes, including coop PvE State Heist, where you’ll face off against vigilant and deadly AI guards, and PvPvE Heist and Gold Rush.
Slay the Spire (PS4)
Slay the Spire, perhaps one of the greatest deck-building games available, have you rising a tower while creating unique decks of cards for use in turn-based battle. Each character has their own deck of cards, and the roguelike features of the game love to throw in random occurrences that might assist or hinder your progress.
The game takes place in a world of fantasy and includes elements from card games. The players can enjoy the unique abilities they get by creating their unique decks of cards. That is made up of “hundreds of cards”. In Slay the Spire, the player controls one of four characters who must battle foes and bosses as they strive to scale a spire with numerous floors built using procedural creation. Fighting is conducted via a collectable card game-based system, with the player earning new cards as a result of combat and other ways, necessitating the player to employ deck-building game techniques in order to finish the climb.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated (PS4)
THQ Nordic’s version of this classic platformer is wonderfully goofy. Despite being a licenced product, it’s of surprisingly excellent quality. While fans of the cartoon will certainly get the most out of this game, it’s a solid platformer in its own right that should provide you with hours of underwater fun.
All versions of the game contain a unique scenario in which the player uses a machine called the Duplicatotron 3000 to protect Bikini Bottom against an invasion of robots produced by Plankton, acting as SpongeBob in all versions and Patrick and Sandy in console versions. With the exception of Clancy Brown as Mr Krabs and Ernest Borgnine as Mermaid Man, who are both portrayed by Joe Whyte, the series’ voice actors repeat their roles. The game was published in North America on October 31, 2003[1] and in Europe on November 28, 2003.
According to Metacritic, Battle for Bikini Bottom garnered mixed or mediocre reviews. The Game Boy Advance version was included in Edge’s list of the best portable video games of the twenty-first century. It turned out to be a commercial success. The game has a cult following as well as a sizable speed-running community.
