A few days back, Apple rolled out an update in which the issue where Apple Watch was unable to unlock iPhone 12 was resolved. In this issue, when the user is using an Apple Watch, it was supposed to unlock the iPhone almost immediately, when both the devices were in close proximity. However, since it was not working due to the issues, Apple had to work on a new fix for it and release it. Now it seems that the same issue has also occurred in the iPhone 13 smartphone as well. 

Due to this, Apple has rolled out iOS 15.0.1 and iPadOS 15.0.1 updates which will not only fix this issue but will also bring a fix for many other issues users were facing. The update comes a few weeks after the release of iOS 15 and brings improvements in SharePlay, Focus mode, FaceTime, and other critical issues. During the time the issue existed, Apple requested the users to turn off the feature until the fix is released.

There was also an issue where users cannot unlock their iPhones through Apple Watch, especially when they were wearing a mask. The update has been released for iPhone 6s and later models, therefore, if you have been facing the same issue, then you can download and install the update immediately. To check for the new update, one can simply go to Settings>> General>> Software Update. If the update does not show up, you can wait for a few hours as it will be available for download very soon.

Oppo has been launching a lot of new smartphones in the market and this time it’s the Oppo A55 which is the latest offering in the budget segment. The phone has been launched at a price tag of Rs 15,490 and claims to provide great value for money. The phone comes with a 6.51-inch screen, which is HD+ and is powered using a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC. The phone will be available with 6GB RAM variants and storage options of 128GB.

The camera unit on this phone is a triple camera setup which Oppo claims to provide the best performance in its category. The primary sensor is 50MP, along with a 2MP portrait sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. In the front, the company has placed a 16MP sensor for selfies and video calls. It does provide the users with expandable memory options with a microSD card slot. The phone is powered using a 5,000 mAh battery and also supports 18W of fast charging. It will be running Android 11 out of the box, with ColorOS 11.1 skin.

The phone seems to have a good build quality and the overall specifications are also great. However, the processor seems to be a bad selling point for this phone. At this price range, there are a lot of other smartphones that provide a much better processor than this. Some even provide Mediatek Helio G85 processors in the same price bracket. Therefore, if there is one thing that we would have liked to improve in it, it would have been the processor.

Netflix is one of the most dominant videos streaming platforms as of now and the company has left no areas unexplored in offering their users different types of content to view. A few months back, the news was leaked on the internet that Netflix is soon going to launch their own online gaming streaming services as they have been looking to bring a service similar to Google Stadia. It now seems that Netflix is serious about breaking into the online gaming field and has recently acquired their first game studio as well, which is Night School Studio.

The gaming studio became popular with their first game “Oxenfree” which was released in 2016 and since then has been popular in its field. Acquisition from Netflix shows that the company will soon be launching its new titles in the market and will try to provide exceptional value to its customers. It has also been reported that the online games will come at no extra cost to the users and will be included in the existing subscription. Netflix has started rolling out games in the European market like Shooting Hoops, Teeter Up, Card Blast, and Stranger Things: 1984.

It shows that Netflix has already started making its move towards the global online gaming industry which still only has a few players which have been able to establish themselves. Netflix will be looking forward now to providing a large variety of games in every genre which will make it one of the huge competitors in this market segment. Amazon is also going to enter the market soon with similar services, which will give users more game streaming options like Stadia.

iPhone 13 is the latest smartphone from Apple and a considerable upgrade from the iPhone 12 series. Although the phone has a lot of new upgrades in terms of camera, design, and more, it has recently been recognized for its display. iPhone 13 Pro Max has been awarded the best smartphone display award (A+) by DisplayMate. One of the major changes that Apple made this year to the iPhone is the use of OLED panels in the display which not only provides better quality but also uses less power. 

Also, the addition of a 120Hz refresh rate in the premium models seems to have done the trick. The iPhone 13 Pro variants come with a Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion, where the refresh rate is dynamic and can change between 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the type of application being used. It not only helps to preserve power in the phone but also provides a better screen response when required.

Another achievement that iPhone 13 Pro Max was able to achieve is the maximum brightness for a smartphone with OLED panels, which is 1000 nits. However, when HDR content is played on the phone, the brightness reaches a maximum of 1200 nits. With all the awards going to Apple, we also need to mention that the displays are being provided by Samsung, who is the exclusive supplier of LTPO OLED screens for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, we will soon see LG as a part of their display supplier as well from next year.
