It seems that Apple is going all out with the performance of its cameras for its future smartphone. Earlier, we had reported that the iPhone 14 Pro will be getting a completely new 48MP sensor for its main camera, along with a couple of other cameras. We had also reported that the front facing camera would be an autofocus one . Now, it seems that Apple is thinking of taking things up a notch, by giving users an improved zoom system, thanks to an all new lens technology that Apple has recently patented. Do note, that the new iPhone 14 lineup, will not be getting this new tech. The patent, which was first spotted by PatentlyApple, showcases a new folded telephoto lens, with a novel single-prism design. Folded lenses typically use complex systems of prisms and/or mirrors to reroute light sideways within a smartphone’s housing. However, when light passes through an optical element, it refracts or diffracts, depending on the kind of optical elements involved. What this means is that th...

Pros: - Lively sound output after a few tweaks - 6-band equaliser for custom presets - Unique design, comfortable fit - Good battery life, fast charging - IP55 dust and fluid resistance - Programmable controls Cons: - Default sound output is bass-heavy - No wear detection sensors or volume control on the earbuds - Bulky charging case, plasticky build - Some features work only with select OnePlus phones Price:   Rs 2,799 Rating: 3.5/5 At first, we thought the OnePlus Nord was a phone, then a phone series, and now it seems to be headed in the direction of being a sub-brand with the addition of a new product category under the Nord umbrella. While the Nord series phones haven’t exactly cannibalised into the business of their more premium cousins, the OnePlus Nord Buds seem to have stepped on the toes of OnePlus Buds Z right from day 1. What does this new pair of TWS earphones offer and where does it fit it? Let’s find out. OnePlus Nord Buds: Design and Comfort (7/10) ...

Apple packs its iPhones and iPads with a bunch of neat hidden features, and more seem to be added with each update. Plus, more upgrades are likely coming soon with iOS 16 . The follow-up to iOS 15 is expected to debut at WWDC, Apple's annual developer's conference, in June, but it'll probably be in beta until the fall. There are plenty of iPhone and iPad features to try out, from SharePlay to Focus. And while many hidden features can be found in the iPhone's settings, other iOS tricks are built directly into the interface, like the secret trackpad for your keyboard. Trust us, once you discover this feature and start using it, you can't help but get accustomed to it super quickly. When you're editing text, you probably hold your finger down on the screen and move the cursor around all the letters, numbers and punctuation to get to where you want.

One of Apple’s most anticipated events, the WWDC or the Worldwide Developers Conference is just a week away. Although Apple will perhaps not be launching any new hardware at this event, which is scheduled to start on the 6th of June this year, like each year, it will be announcing a number of new features and what the company’s strategy will be for software across its products. One of the major highlights for this year will be iOS 16, which has been codenamed Sydney. iOS is going to be a major upgrade, meaning the new operating system will be chock full of changes. There is also likely to be a major makeover, which would significantly change how the new operating system looks and feels to use. One of the major cosmetic changes is going to come to the lock screen . With the new iOS 16, Apple is planning some major enhancements, including special wallpapers and more importantly, some new and reworked shortcuts, as well as new lock screen widgets. This time around, the iPhone 14 may ...

Interrogation is based on the premise that lying is an  a priori  proviso in the universe of discourse in which the procedural mechanics of the science acquires significance. It presupposes the need to lie as a sub-inherent quality of humankind. A subject, therefore, for interrogation — whether she happens to be a captive of war, a terrorist apprehended during a counter terrorism operation or a petty criminal — will resort to deception as a primary interface with the controlled environment that she is going to be subjected to. Indeed, this is the baseline or the opening set of postulations that has to be assumed in order for a study of interrogation to be undertaken. Untruthfulness is clearly different from deception: The former is a behaviour that is typical to human beings alone, whereas deception could and indeed extend to other forms of living beings that fall under the ambit of entropy and decay. Although game theory seems to have modelled the possibility of deception in...

Every photography nerd worth their salt, has imagined what it must be like to shoot with a Hasselblad or a Leica. Even seasoned professionals can’t help but lust after the engineering marvels that the boffins at Hasselblad and Leica make.  The legacy that these camera brands have is simply unmatched. No matter how great a camera brands like Sony, Canon, or Nikon make, they will never come close to the stature that Hasselblad and Leica have. In fact, this is exactly what the situation is right now. Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm make some of the most technologically advanced cameras that are great to shoot photos as well as videos. So good is the picture quality of some of the cameras made by these brands that they have been used in feature films and documentaries. Sure, they do not compare to the Arri or Red cameras, but they are pretty close. Hasselblad and Leica on the other hand, don’t have cameras that can shoot videos nearly as well as your latest Sony A7s, Nikon Z9 or C...

One of the harshest realities of social media is the hostility that women face on any given platform . From incessant trolling to rape and death threats for speaking out, to unsolicited messages and dick picks -  the list goes on and on. Well, one tech company is looking to change the dynamics of how a traditional Web2 based social media platform   like Facebook or Instagram functions. ‘Coto’ or ‘Coming Together’ is the latest offering from Eve World, a Web3 women-only social community platform that seeks to build a positive and valuable digital experience for women. Coto promises to “narrow the gender divide” on social media, where men outnumber women and therefore, only allows women and transgenders to be users on the platform “In order to make the internet empowering and inclusive, it is imperative to have a safe space where we can freely express ourselves. Women don’t get the chance to have intimate conversations, which leads to self-censorship,” says Aparna Acharekar,...

Given how Sony and Microsoft update their gaming consoles with a more powerful “Pro” version a couple of years after they launch a new console, rumours regarding updated versions of the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles have been making the rounds ever since the PS5 and the Xbox Series S & Series X were announced.  Now, a couple of major manufacturers have all but confirmed that the two gaming giants are working on the next generation of their gaming consoles.

People who are looking to upgrade to an iPhone but don’t want to shell out a ton of money for the upcoming iPhone 14 , now have a golden opportunity.  If you want to upgrade to an iPhone 13 Pro Max, now is probably the ideal time . The iPhone 13 Pro Max is available for Rs 21,000 off at iStore India. After the markdown, the 128GB, which was previously priced at Rs 1,29,900, is now available for Rs 108,900. Wondering how this works out to be? Well, to begin with, the outlet is providing a flat discount of Rs 3,000 on all models and variants of the iPhone, including the top of the line iPhone 13 Pro Max. If users then exchange their existing phones, they may get up to Rs 18,000 in additional discounts. Of course, this is contingent on which phone you exchange and what is the condition of your device. This effectively lowers the price of the base 128GB model to Rs. 1,08,900. The iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB variant costs Rs. 1,18,900 after the discount, while the 512GB model costs Rs. ...

Photography enthusiasts will know all about the legacy that camera brands like Hasselblad and Leica carry . There is a reason why seasoned photographers shooting for the best of magazines and advertising agencies, as well as scientists, like to use cameras and lenses from both of these legacy brands.

Earlier, we had reported that Samsung and Motorola are working on a smartphone with a 200MP camera and are in a race to launch their respective devices first. Now, it seems that Motorola will be launching their device ahead of Samsung, by the end of July. Motorola was working on a new flagship phone with a 200MP primary camera for quite some time now. The phone, codenamed Frontier, had appeared in a number of leaks over the past months, revealing its design and some key specs. Now we have an official confirmation from Motorola itself . In a Weibo post today, Motorola China confirmed that a Moto phone with a 200MP camera phone is launching in July.

Price: Rs 3,999 Rating: 4/5 In early 2021, Realme changed the game in the budget true wireless (TWS) earbuds segment with the launch of the Buds Air 2 . Never before had one seen features like active noise cancellation (ANC), customisable controls, multiple sound profiles, wear detection along with good sound quality, altogether well under Rs 4,000. That pair of earphones is still hard to beat in the segment. With the competition coming close, Realme is looking to raise the bar further with the launch of its successor, the Buds Air 3, that promises to do one better than its predecessor in almost every department. In addition to better sound quality, the new Realme buds claim to offer better battery backup and 42 dB noise cancellation, a huge jump from 25 dB that’s considered par for the course in this segment.
