Blackberry is without a doubt one of the most popular brands of smartphones from the past. However, ever since Android smartphones gained popularity, Blackberry has not been a preferred smartphone option for users. It has been a while since the company introduced its smartphone in the market, after which the company was almost dormant in the market. However, Blackberry has recently opened up a program for people to join which will help them to create their new 5G smartphone for the next release. 

Blackberry is still very alive in the competition and through the program, it will offer people regular and recent updates about the development of the new 5G smartphone. It will also inform the users about the features and availability of the same. People who register for the program will also be able to give their suggestions and ideas for the smartphone which will be included in making the smartphone as well. The device was expected to arrive in the first half of 2021, but since the device has not made the market it seems that it might come anytime in the second half of the year.

The initiation of the program does suggest that it might take a few more months before the phone is officially launched in the market. The details suggest that Blackberry might try to bring something new for the consumers that would help them to make a considerable mark in the market this time. Also, their partnership with OnwardMobility who provides mobile solutions for companies might work the trick for them this time around.

Another series of leaks have appeared for the new iPad Mini 6 that will be released by Apple in the future. In terms of a complete design overhaul, there are going to be a lot of new features and changes to it. As per Apple Analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, the new generation of iPad Mini is expected to come with an 8.3-inch display, which will be larger than the 7.9-inch display it used to come earlier with. Apple has not increased the dimension of the body, due to which the screen size has increased. 

The company will not be adding the popular Home button this time on the iPad which would add to the existing screen size. The size of the new iPad Mini 6 could go anywhere from 8.5 to 9 inches, and it will have narrow bezels, which would be slimmer than the bezels of the previous generation. Rumors also speculate that the new iPad Mini would be powered using either the new A15 Bionic chipset or the A14 bionic chipset.

While the company has already placed an order of more than 100 million A15 bionic chipsets, it can be expected that they might be using the same chipset on the new iPad mini as well. The new iPad mini will also have a new display with mini-LED which will provide for much better color reproduction and less usage of power. Before the actual launch happens, we might get a look at more leaks about the device.

When Facebook thinks of creating a virtual space for people, it would surely be something that no one has experienced before. Now the company is creating a new product and has already assembled a team for the same. The new product called “metaverse” as per Facebook will be a virtual world where regardless of the device, one can communicate with each other. As per the CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it can be thought of as the embodiment of the Internet where the user is in the content rather than simply watching it, as on Facebook. 

The company has invested a lot of time and resources in things like virtual and augmented reality for a long time to create something better to offer for the users. Their VR headset Oculus and VR gaming studio BigBox VR shows the commitment that Facebook has towards this project. As per Mark Zuckerberg, if the project runs as expected, then Facebook will more popularly be known as a metaverse company than a social media company. Facebook is trying to create the product totally on a new platform, which is nothing similar to what one can experience on Facebook.

The platform will add a new way for users to communicate with each other and will also be a lot more interactive than Facebook currently is. Nothing more has been told about this platform for now, but it can be expected that Facebook would make a major announcement in the coming months about the metaverse. Once it is announced, it will be interesting to see the kind of internet services it provides.
