iOS 17
iOS 17

Apple is the biggest tech giant in the world that recently launched iOS 16 in September 2022, and may also come out with iOS 17 the following year, although there is a strong buzz that European legislators are pressurizing the tech giant to do something different this time.

This is why you might see Apple introducing revolutionary changes in the iOS 17 OS that will soon be taking effect, if they’re planning to launch the mobile operating system sometime in 2023.

iOS 16 Bulk Edit Photos Feature, A Tale To Tell!

Highlights

  • Apple will launch the new mobile operating system, iOS 17, in 2023, but it will be something different given the pressure coming from European legislators.
  • The new changes are being created on the spur of the moment where Apple will allow in third party app stores.
  • The company also plans to open up the messaging system and replace most of the apps on iPhones and iPads.

Apple Plans Revolutionary Things for iOS 17 OS

Apple has released many products and devices since the past many years, with the latest being the iPhone 14 series launched in September 2022, which received mixed to positive reviews from one and all.

It isn’t easy to reach the status of arguably the biggest tech giant in the world and sustain the position over a consistent period of time, which Apple has accomplished excellently.

However, sometimes big tech companies have to bow down to pressure from investors and legislators, which happened with Apple as the tech giant was pressurized by European legislators make changes in their mobile operating system.

Apple has decided to open up its mobile OS and make the necessary changes in the upcoming iOS 17, which is quite sudden and unexpected, as many people are surprised at this move.

iOS 17

Among the expected changes, allowing third party app stores could be one of the first steps, followed up opening the messaging system and replacing most of the built-in applications on iPhones and iPads.

It appears that the company’s service engineers and developers are toiling hard to open up significant components on the platforms, due to which iOS and iPadOS users will be given the choice to install apps.

Reliable sources have confirmed that the iOS changes will first happen in Europe and then move on to other bigger markets like the United States, which is also working on a legislative initiative similar to Europe’s Digital Services (DSA), which regulates the digital market.

This means that Apple has plenty of opposition to lookout for and has to deal with them in equal measure for dividing the cake, although it spells good news for developers and users as they can avoid 30% tax in special circumstances provided their application fit into certain categories.

iOS 17 OS Conclusion

It remains to be seen as to how successful this endeavor becomes but the new changes will definitely be lapped up by both users and tech experts if they are revolutionary and unique, thereby becoming a benchmark for other tech giants to follow, match-up to, and surpass.

Avatar: The Way of Water is releasing today in India on December 16, 2022, although it has already been leaked on Torrent sites in the country far and wide, which has left the makers and distributors worried that nobody will go to watch it on the big screen, now that is available online.

Piracy has been a huge menace in India since the 80s and 90s, which had caused massive losses to theatres in those times but now, with the advent of online websites like Torrent, there continues to be a constant threat to big releases.

Nvidia hackers now targeted Samsung! 19GB of Confidential Data leaked

Highlights

  • James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is all set to release in India on Friday i.e., on 16th December 2022.
  • The movie will release in six languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
  • However, ahead of its launch in India, Avatar: The Way of Water has been leaked online on torrent and other piracy-enabling sites.

Avatar: The Way of Water Found on Torrent Before its Release in India

James Cameron is one of the biggest filmmakers in the world who made immortal classics like Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009), both of which have been the highest grossers of the year during their release and, today, have gone down in history as two of the directors’ best works.

Now with the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, all set for release in India, it has surfaced that the movie has surfaced on Torrent sites, which releases pirated versions of an upcoming movie, which causes huge losses to filmmakers, theatre owners, and distributors.

Avatar

It isn’t just torrent, but many websites that are piracy-enabled have released the movie on their platforms in numerous quality versions and varying sizes, although the first leaked version was on Torrent where it was titled “CAM”, which signified that it could have been made with a video camera in a cinema theatre.

Needless to say, the leaked version of the movie is of extremely poor quality, which degrades a filmmaker of James Cameron’s caliber, whose Titanic and Avatar are still fresh in the minds of people even after so many decades and have become a part of pop culture.

Many people have also shared screenshots that clearly show problems with the size, colour, brightness, contrast, and sharpness, while the less said about audio quality, the better.

Avatar: The Way of Water Release Date

The James Cameron vehicle will release in India, UK, US, China, and Japan on December 16, 2022, while it has already been released in countries like Egypt, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Sweden, Italy, Finland, and other European nations.

Avatar: The Way of Water Cast

Avatar: The Way of Water has a massive star cast headed by Sam Worthington, who plays Jack Sully, an ex-human being who fell for Neytiri, Zoe Saldana as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver plays Kiri, Stephen Lang plays Colonel Miles Quaritch, Cliff Curtis as Tonowari, and Kate Winslet as Ronal, among others.

MACBOOK PRO M2 MAX
MACBOOK PRO M2 MAX

Not many people would be aware that Apple’s MacBook Pro M2 Max has become the talk of the town, which has been on the bucket list of numerous people ever since it was announced, although the latest updates don’t bode well for the model as it might not match the expectations of the people.

Geekbench, a popular cross-platform utility that benchmarks CPUs of PCs, has given it a score that shows that M2 Max doesn’t come with any significant upgrade over M2 MacBooks and M1 MacBooks.

Apple MacBook Air M2 launch reportedly delayed

Highlights

  • One of the most awaited devices for 2023 is the Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max that has been spotted on many online websites.
  • However, it is scored a mere 1889 points in the single-core test on Geekbench, although it has scored high in the multi-core tests.
  • Decoding this score indicates that MacBook Pro M2 Max may not match the high level expectations of its predecessors.

MacBook M2 Pro Max Might Not Match Expectations

Apple just recently launched its new iPhone 14 series back in September 2022, but it is now ready to make newer inroads into the laptop segment as well as it has a slew of them lined up for launch in 2023.

Nobody can ever doubt Apple’s credibility but that does not mean that it can always come out with devices that are 100% perfect, which has happened quite a few times and it goes on to show that even a tech giant like Apple can have quite a few misses.

Many users have been making a list of the things they expect from the upcoming model, Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max, and it mostly narrows down to performance upgrades.

MACBOOK PRO M2 MAX

Geekbench, which is a cross-platform utility, has given its scores for the upcoming model that has surfaced online, as users were surprised to see the laptop listed in the Geekbench 5 benchmark database, which determines the performance of a CPU.

In the database, Macbook Pro M2 Max has scored 1889 points in the single-core tests, which is quite low, while it has scored 14586 points in the multi-core tests, although score is not the only thing that determines the merit of any device.

Coming to the specs, the site reveals that the laptop is equipped with a 12-core processor clocked at 3.4GHz, while the CPU has 128 KB of L1 instruction cache, 64 KB of L1 data cache, and 4MB of L2 cache.

MacBook M2 Pro Max Score Comparison with MacBook M1 Pro Max

M1 Max scored 1785 points on Geekbench’s single-core tests and 12825 points on the multi-core tests, which clearly indicates that Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max will get a 13% upgrade in the multi-core performance, while the single-core performance increase is about 6%.

While MacBook M2 Pro promises a decent enough performance based on scores, it doesn’t promise any significant upgrade that can be classified as groundbreaking, which might make users wonder whether it is worth waiting for Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max.

Realme 10 Pro+

In the last few years, the smartphone sector has witnessed many sequels and successors not gaining as much momentum in the market as their predecessors. Now we have Realme 10 Pro+ promising plenty of upgrades over the previous models released in the Realme 10 or even 9 series.

Realme 10 Pro+ is sporting a better 6.7-inch AMOLED curved display, a powerful Dimensity 1080 5G chipset, and a higher res 108 MP (wide) main camera among other feature upgrades. So, is this the smartphone you should be looking at while upgrading from your current device? Let’s find out in our in-depth Realme 10 Pro + review.

Realme 10 Pro + Design and Build

Realme 10 Pro+

The design has also been reworked as both the front and the back curve into the plastic frame making the phone feel razor-thin in the hand. The kaleidoscope-like glittering finish on the plastic back panel really catches the eye. However, there is no official Ingress Protection, which is both strange and yet understandable given the market segment this smartphone will be appealing.

The 10 Pro Plus with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen has a curved display with a 1080p resolution and a 120hz refresh rate. The double-reinforced glass is perfectly durable and the screen size is larger than the previous models.

The fast faster refresh rate for swiping and scrolling makes the whole everyday smartphone experience smoother. It will dial down to 60hz to save energy when idling too. Moreover, the Realme 10 Pro Plus is considerably brighter than its predecessor with a maximum of 480 nits with the manual slider and this can be further boosted to up to over 800 nits in auto mode.

If you need it outdoors, 10 Pro Plus comes with another new feature that is support for 10-bit colour depth, The colour accuracy of the screen is great along with the contrast and the support for HDR 10 plus as well. You can wake up and unlock the phone with an under-display fingerprint reader. It is super fast and consistent.

Realme 10 Pro + Hardware & Software – Dimensity 1080 5G chipset and Realme UI 4.0

The Realme 10 Pro + is powered by a brand new chipset a MediaTek Demensity 1080, which is an improvement over the previous model’s Demensity 920. This facilitates slightly better performance and efficiency along with an upgraded ISP for the cameras.

The enhanced performance isn’t huge though and it’s just based on higher clock speeds at the same CPU cores. However, it is always appreciable when smartphone manufacturers put an effort to provide some basic upgrades that we expect from newer smartphone models.

Realme 10 Pro+

Also Read: Realme 10 Pro Series Launched

The powerful processor is supported by up to 2.77Gbps* dual carrier aggregation technology and a 6nm TSMC high-efficiency process for optimum smartphone performance. The smartphone got a score of 528,313* on the AnTuTu Benchmark test.

Gamers should rest easy that the device has everything to be able to run Free Fire, MBLL, and several other mainstream mobile games smoothly.

The interface of the smartphone is Realme UI 4.0 and it would not be wrong to mention that it’s actually on top of the latest Android 13. This is a smooth clutter-free UI that is straightforward and user-friendly. If you look a little deeper, there’s plenty of custom functionality available in the UI as well.

Realme 10 Pro + Camera

The camera functionality of Realme 10 Pro + is surely impressive when compared to the other models released by the brand in recent times. This one sports a 108-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The main camera is notable for having a higher resolution than the previous model and being able to provide three times lossless soon. Although, the one thing missing here is OIS.

The main camera shoots 12-megapixel photos by default and when taken in the daylight, the results are pretty good. There’s a great contrast in image quality with adequate dynamic range and likeable colours.

We have seen better fine details such as foliage here and there but at least the processing doesn’t draw your attention to that. It’s quite balanced and there’s a three-time zoom toggle, thanks to the main camera’s large sensor.

Videos can be captured with the main camera in up to 4K at 30fps and the quality is outstanding with excellent detail and sharpness. A point of contention could be the no-stabilization feature in the 4K video recording.

Also Read: Realme 10 vs Realme 9

In low light, 4K videos from the main camera are impressive as well. The ultra-wide is capped at 1080P and takes well-balanced videos during the day with enough detail and low noise-accurate colours.

Realme 10 Pro+

Realme 10 Pro + Larger Battery

The previous Realme flagship equivalent 9 Pro Plus had a decent battery life that one couldn’t really complain about. However, the successor Realme 10 Pro Plus has upped its game with a larger battery size and has managed to blow Its predecessor away.

The 5000mAh battery was able to score an incredible endurance rating of 149 hours in the Proprietary Battery Life Tests performed by one of the top tech bloggers.

On top of that larger battery size, the charging speed is faster too. With the bundled 67w adapter, you can easily plan on charging from 0 to 86 per cent in just about half an hour.

Verdict

The Realme 10 Pro + overall is a decent phone for the price tag and provides plenty of improvements over the previous models launched in recent years. While the 6.7-inch curved display, the 5000mAh battery life with fast charging and the camera functionality are impressive in this smartphone.

Also Read: Best Smartphone Offers

The major downsides are surely the lack of Ingress Protection and sub-standard selfie quality. On all, if you can ignore some of these minute negatives, the Realme 10 Pro + is definitely worth checking out.

The Witcher 3 Next Gen Update Causes Performance Hindrance

The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the most popular video games that we have today, although the latest news doesn’t bode well for the game as the next gen updates are said to cause performance issues for many PC players, prompting developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) to conduct an investigation.

CDPR has just recently pushed its next-gen live update for The Witcher 3, which is quite surprising that the users are complaining about the updates affecting their performance in the game.

Also Read: Netflix December 2022 Releases: Qala, Glass Onion, Emily in Paris Season 3, and More

Highlights

  • Many players are facing performance issues with the new updates in The Witcher 3: Live Hunt.
  • Some of the PC players have observed significant drops in frame and peculiar texture and model rendering throughout the duration of the game.
  • CDPR is working out on a solution although there has been no hotfix cited at the moment.

Next Gen Update on The Witcher 3 Negatively Impact Players’ Performance

It is the paramount duty of a developer to keep upgrading the games he has created and if it is as popular as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the responsibility increases manifolds.

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is one of the most renowned developers that came up with the franchise called The Witcher 3, where it just recently came out with the next-gen live update for the game, although it has only done far more harm than good for quite a few PC players.

Many of the players are complaining that they are experiencing significant drops in frame rate, model rendering, and bizarre and peculiar texture throughout The Witcher 3, including those with high-end graphics cards who too are facing issues.

The frame rate problems include a drop below 60fps on cards from Nvidia’s 30 Series, although the pre-update in performance outpaced the latest version of the game, while The Witcher 3 subreddit has a mega thread for troubleshooting, where answers are being crowd-sourced.

Witcher 3

This is for those players who’re facing problems from memory leaks to frequent crashes, while other issues include saved files that are not loading on time, and players managing to boot it up have deemed the game “unplayable” on lower settings.

There are certain users that adjust their settings and try until they succeed, although the constant turning on/off of the PC to PC gaming troubleshooting is working only for a handful of them, while players that want to do all they can are advised things like removing mods, disabling ray tracing, GPU driver upgrades, etc.

The Witcher 3 Conclusion

The next-gen update is facing a reverse problem of sorts as the gaming consoles are doing better than PCs in this regard, when normally it is the other way round, while certain PC players are opting for certain degree of tweaking, although CDPR has the final say on the matter.
