The new generation Xbox X series console is all set to be revealed in the month of November, as communicated by experts. However, the company has officially not yet revealed any details about the product or the launch date. Now some details from Pringles have been leaked, which might give us a good idea of what should be the price of the next-generation console. There have already been leaks about the images and retail packaging of the new age console remote controller. 

The retail box for the same gave hints about the price and what all devices it is compatible with. Xbox is holding a contest for a new Xbox Series X in South Africa, where many users will be getting a free console and other consolation prizes. When the total cost of the consoles was seen in the image, it was easier to guess the cost of the console as well. As per the guess from another expert on the Twitter handle, it seems that the new console could be anywhere under $850-$950. 

The price that was provided by Pringles was somewhere accurate to $850-$875, but the price might be kept to $900-950, depending on the gaming bundles and the games they provide it. Now the prize value provided by Pringles could be changed before the event, which does not make it the right value at which the new generation console will be sold. Therefore, the only option with the users is to wait for the official launch and know the actual price for it.

Apple iPhone 12 is expected to launch in October, due to a month’s delay with the supply chain. In the meanwhile, almost all the specs of the phone have already been leaked and are almost confirmed to be a part of the new generation device. The new series of iPhones that will be launched this year will be the first 5G device from Apple and they are leaving no pages unturned when it comes to adding some unique and very interesting features to the mobile device. 

Now, the company might be adding the new LiDAR depth camera lens to the iPhone 12 Pro, which was a part of the iPad Pro this year. The Lidar lens has been manufactured by Sony. This lidar system uses pulses of light to precisely measure the distances of objects from the camera lens. The LiDAR lens is one of the revolutionary products from the house of Sony. With this lens, you can expect the camera to have a better focus and a clear distinction between the background and foreground. 

This technology helps to provide a better portrait shot and increase the quality of the image. The LiDAR lens was introduced to iPad Pro in April this year, which made the camera of the iPad Pro much more superior. Adding the same to the Pro model of the iPhone 12 would make it even costlier and feature-rich. The iPhone 12 Pro model is expected to come in two variants 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch and feature is expected to be in both of them.

Facebook’s AR glasses have been rumored around for a while now and the company is expected to release the glasses anytime during the end of the year or early next year. The company has not disclosed any information about the glasses till now, however, there have been a few leaks about the product time and time. The company is looking to provide a similar experience to what Apple and Google have been offering to the customers through its VR experience. 

Now the company has finally shared some information about the new AR glasses which seems to be a feature of the device. The new feature will come with advanced audio technology, which might bring super hearing for the user. Now super hearing is a concept where the user is able to hear even the minutest of sounds without any issues. These types of sound with low frequency are not easily audible by the naked ear but will be able to use these AR glasses. The feature will likely use two different technologies called “Perceptual Superpower” and “Audio Presence”. 

The first feature will reduce the noise to a minimum while increasing the focus on the specific sound not or voice. The second feature will recreate the sound waves and bounce them in the real world. It will help the user hear the sound which is not easily audible naturally. Currently, the work on the AR glasses is being refined more and more for different types of users to use it.

New details have been coming up in the tech world regarding the new Google Magenta project, which lets the users create their own virtual music room, which is powered by machine learning with lo-fi hip-hop tracks. The “Lo-Fi Player” is created by Vibert Thio, a Google Magenta intern with the help of researcher Douglas Eck. Now, this is a very interesting concept where you can interact with different things and customize the music. The user will be provided with the graphical animation of a room, which has a person, a cat, and some things, objects, and even musical instruments. 

As a user, when you tap on the item, it creates a new tone or music, which can be added to the Lo-Fi music, and hence can be customized. It is not the only thing available in it, as the user will also see a keyboard and a synthesizer that lets you play around with the chords, and select the instrument you want. And if you are not a cat person, you can even change it to a dog. Simply tap on the cat and the entire room will change and also will your pet. You can also restart your virtual music room by tapping on the green lamp on top. 

Now Google says that this is a small and easy project through which anyone can create their own music and customize various melodies. This kind of experience of customizing the music is both educational and interactive. This feature is also available on youtube, where you can play the music and comment in the live chatbox.

The feud between Epic Games and Apple does not seem to end in the near future. A few days back Apple simply terminated the Epic Games account on the App Store as it was unable to restore the valid setting to the account as per the terms of the App Store. On this, Epic Games have asked the court to stop the actions as it was a retaliation by Apple against Fortnite. Epic Games has also said that they filed for a Preliminary Injunction, which would have put the game back in the App Store and restored their settings. 

The filing by Epic games was made in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Epic games specifically mentioned that it is “likely to suffer irreparable harm” from the action that has been taken by Apple. It definitely shows that Apple is simply retaliating instead of letting the matter resolve, Epic games mentioned. The developers also mentioned in the filing that “the balance of harms tips sharply in Epic’s favor”. The developer studio has also called Apple a monopolist and that it maintains the monopoly by “explicitly prohibiting any competitive entry“. 

Apple has already made clear that the termination of the Epic Games account on the App Store will not affect any app or game on the iOS that is currently using the Unreal Engine. Epic Games has also mentioned in the filing that Apple goes by the saying “This was a clear warning to any other developer that would dare challenge Apple’s monopolies: follow our rules or we will cut you off from a billion iOS consumers – challenge us and we will destroy your business,””.

Samsung updates are currently being rolled out for multiple Samsung smartphones. However, there is a specific issue that Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 users are facing from a few months backs. The issue is said to be an issue that emerged from one of the software updates. The users for these two specific devices have reported issues in GPS tracking from the last few months. The threads for the issue can be found on Reddit, where the users have mentioned a problem with apps that are based on navigation and are unable to keep a consistent GPS lock.

One of the commonly used apps for navigation, which is Google Maps is not working correctly. Although they do claim that the issue was first noticed after the update rolled out last year, there is no specific information right now which could confirm the reason for the issue in these specific handsets. Although the issue is being faced by many users, the issue has not been acknowledged by Samsung yet, or they might be looking out for more users to report the same issue. 

But no update has yet been provided by the company regarding the update to fix the bug. There have also been many videos and images by the device owners who show how the device does not lock on to the GPS location while using it on the move. It seems to be a really frustrating issue for the users and hope Samsung resolves it soon enough

A lot of news and specs have already been disclosed about the all-new iPhone 12 and other variants that are all due to launch in the month of October. However, before the official launch, it seems that all the details about the new device will be readily available to tech geeks and all those who are waiting for the smartphone. As per the new details that have been discovered, the iPhone 12 Pro Max model will support mmWave 5G connectivity. It was already known that this will be the first series of Apple smartphones to have support for 5G technology. 

However, the addition of faster millimeter-wave 5G will make the iPhone 12 Pro Max worth upgrading. The variant will also house a large 6.5-inch screen along with the new technology. The lower variants of the iPhone 12 series will have a slower Sub-6GHz 5G connectivity. If the details are taken to be true, then it means that the Pro Max model will definitely have a much bigger battery than the other variants as the feature is known to consume more battery in need to improve the performance and speed of the 5G band. 

Also, the reports mention that the mmWave antenna will be fixed inside the iPhone and will only be available to countries like Japan, South Korea, and the US. A few days back, it was disclosed that the retail box of the new iPhone will not come with any type of accessories, that would also include the charging brick and the wire. It does seem to be a disappointment for Apple fans but it won’t stop them from upgrading to the new version.
