When it comes to iPhone 13, there has been a lot of news and leaks about the phone in the last few months. In fact, at the beginning of the year, 2021 started to have new leaks and images for the phone. Although the phone will not be a lot different from iPhone 12 series, it will still come with considerable changes as per the leaks. One of the bigger changes that will happen in the iPhone this year is the charging technology. Battery and charging are two segments of an iPhone which do not seem to develop as fast as other companies using the Android operating system. 

This time, Apple is planning to add 25W fast charging support to their iPhones. It can happen using a compatible fast charger, which one would need to purchase separately as it is not included in the box anymore. Last year, iPhone 12 came with a 20W fast charging feature, and this year, it has been added to 25W. The current 20W power adapter is priced at Rs 1,900 and the 25W charger would definitely be priced much more expensive.

As expected, the phone will come in 4 different variants of iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Now it has still not been confirmed if the 25W fast charging support will be available on all variants or just the premium variants of the phone. The phone can also come with a 120Hz refresh rate feature for the display and we are also expecting to see the return of Touch ID on the smartphone this year. With the launch of the Apple iPhone 13, we can also see the launch of Airpods 3 in the same event.

iPhone SE is one such series from Apple that is not only affordable but also provides the latest experience of iOS to the users. The last version of the iPhone SE 2020 has a high-end processor but with the same design as the previous generation. Ever since the previous version was launched, Apple has been very quiet about the future of the series and has not given any detail or information about the new version of the phone that will be launched in the future. Now it seems that the new iPhone SE 3 could come in the first half of 2022. 

The phone has been in the news for a while now due to news about its launch and how Apple has been working on it. As per the details that have been leaked, the phone will be launched with the A14 Bionic chipset that is currently being used in the iPhone 12 series. However, it does seem that the company will still go with the same design as the previous generation. If the company adds the A14 Bionic chipset to the iPhone SE 3, then it will be one of the most affordable 5G iPhones in the market. 

It has also been suspected that Apple might be using the same LCD screen on the phone instead of an OLED screen, which might not be great news for the users. Even if there is a design change, it will more likely be similar to the design format that has been used in the iPhone 12 series. Rumors are also up that the new version will have an in-display fingerprint sensor and will come in three variants of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. It is expected that the new iPhone Se 3 will be priced somewhere around Rs 45,000 in the Indian market

Apple announced that Facetime is going to get a lot of new features in the iOS 15 upgrades. The announcement was made in WWDC in June and it seems like the features are soon going to be launched on the new iPhones. The new features that have been added to Facetime are more likely inspired by Zoom. The new updates bring major changes to the platform like hosting virtual parties, using the app on multiple platforms like Android and Windows, etc. 

The public beta for the same is available right now and can be tried on iOS devices. However, Apple always suggests backing up the phone before installing and using any kind of beta application. Apple will most probably introduce the stable version of the feature by the end of the year. Apple is trying to make Facetime a virtual place like other video calling apps for friends to hang out with each other. One can simply generate a link for virtual parties and send it to all friends and family which the users want to join. Also, since it will be available on Android and Windows now, the users will be able to communicate through Facetime with cross-platform users. 

The link can be open through the web browser or any other device. The new iOS 15 update will also bring a spatial audio isolation function for Facetime which helps in cutting down the background noise, providing clear audio for the users. Similarly, Apple will now allow users to use portrait mode in the Facetime call. All this and much more is already available in the beta version of the app and if you want the stable version of the app, you will have to wait a bit more.

We all know about the case that happened between Epic Games and Apple. The issue has still not been resolved and the ever-popular game Fortnite is not available for iPhone users on the App store. It now seems that Epic Games are also in conflict with Google on the Play Store policies. A while back a new lawsuit was filed against Google Playstore policies which led to an unfair competitive environment for the apps and third-party app store. As per the lawsuit, Google has control over Android app distribution and limits the consumption of installing any third-party app store on their smartphones. 

Similar to this, Epic Games have also filed a lawsuit against Google related to similar complaints. As per Epic Games, they were planning to add the game to the Samsung app store, making the game more accessible to users. However, Google has been influencing companies in not doing so. Also, Epic Games have claimed that since Google is in business with Apple they have been indirectly influencing users in not downloading other app stores. 

It is not the first time the issue has been raised against unfair practices by Google and App for their app store. Many companies and even the government have tried to investigate the issue and found some issues in the same. However, companies like Epic games have been involved in this case for a long time now. Many other companies like Facebook, Paytm and others have also come against such unfair practices that hamper the market competition and give unfair advantages to some.

Amazon Alexa was launched in the month of November 2014, and ever since then, the female voice of Alexa has been the most recognized part of the platform. Till now Amazon only offered a female voice option for Alexa, but now it seems that we have a male voice option also. The company has created a male voice for the platform and has named it Ziggy. It will be provided as an option voice option for the users and now they can select between both the male and female voice. 

Users simply have to select between the new or original voice option and can also ask Alexa to change its voice. The voice option will not be applied automatically and can only be changed by the user. The new voice is male and very masculine at the same time. The voice can either be changed by voice command or by simply going into the settings of the Alexa app. Amazon has been the last in the most popular AI assistant to provide a male counterpart for their platform. 

Something similar has already been done by Apple and Google in the past for their AI assistant.

However, it seems that the company will be adding more features and will make the male voice option better before actually releasing it for other countries.
