Apple iPhone 13 may come with Always-On Display in 2021

Apple iPhone 13 is one of the most talked-about upcoming smartphones for this year. After looking at various iPhone 12 products of 2020, people are interested to know about iPhone 13 series as well. Max Weinbach and YouTuber Jon Prosser are popular tipsters and they have come out with a few leaks about this smartphone series. 

The high-end of the series, iPhone 13 Pro, is supposed to have a more texturized soft matte back panel. This will aid the users to have a more comfortable grip on their expensive devices. Another leaked information about the same handset is that it might possess an ‘LTPO always-on’ display. 

It will be supported by a strong high refresh rate of 120 Hz. Thus, it looks very similar to what ProMotion display on the iPad Pro offered their users. We had seen this ‘LTPO always-on’ display on the Apple Watch Series 6 earlier. This screen is expected to come in minimal customizability.

The Cupertino company will be expecting to generate higher demand with their new series as the smartphone market looks to recover in 2021 from the financial impacts of Covid-19. The images show that the Clock and battery charge is always visible on the screen. 

Also, the notifications will be received in a different manner. In this, notifications will pop up on the screen but the screen will not entirely light up. The reports further say the smartphone will also offer an astrophotography feature which was seen in the Google Pixel. This feature helps you to capture stunning shots at night. You can easily capture the stars and moon in the night sky which is very tough to capture in a night. This news is still unconfirmed so wait for its official confirmation.

IPL 2021: Glen Maxwell’s wish is to play for RCB with ‘idol’ AB de Villiers

With three days remaining for the IPL 2021 Auction to take place, Australian all-rounder Glen Maxwell has said that he would not mind playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as that would fulfill his desire of playing alongside his “idol” AB de Villiers.

During a media interaction on Thursday, he said, “That’ll be awesome. AB [is] one of my idols and one of the guys I’ve always tried to watch the way he goes about [things].” “It’ll be awesome to work with him, and he’s always been really helpful to me along the journey. Whenever I’ve caught up with him, he’s been brilliant. So to be able to work with him first hand will be pretty cool,” he added.

Previously, Maxwell has suited up for the Mumbai Indians once, the Delhi Capitals (DC) once and the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) twice.

“I get along with Virat pretty well. It’ll be certainly nice to work under Virat and will certainly enjoy batting with him – that’s for sure,” Maxwell said, about playing with RCB captain Virat Kohli.

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir feels that Royal Challengers Bangalore may go after Glenn Maxwell in the upcoming IPL 2021 mini-auction. The former KKR captain feels Glenn Maxwell will still earn big, despite his indifferent returns in the IPL thus far. “There are teams who will be looking at someone like Maxwell. Surely, RCB will be looking at him. That is my personal opinion. Anything can happen at the auctions. But I feel Maxwell will go to RCB,” said Gambhir.

This year, Maxwell is in the IPL Auction’s highest price bracket of Rs 2 crore after being released by Kings XI Punjab. He has scored 108 runs at a strike-rate of 101.88 from 13 matches in the previous edition.

Currently, Maxwell is part of the Australian squad for the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand. “The Australian team is generally together for a one-day series somewhere in Australia and we get to watch it together and congratulate and commiserate each other depending on what they went for or if they didn’t go. So it’s stressful day for a lot of people, and I’ve been lucky to be on the good side of it a fair few times,” he said about following the IPL Auction with his Australian teammates.

The IPL 2021 auction will take place on February 18 at 3 PM.

His excellent batting performance during the India vs Australia during December and January may expect a run in the league once again.

The left-handed batsman hailing from England has been excellent in the shorter format of the game and is currently placed at the top of the ICC Player Rankings for T20 Batsmen. He came to limelight initially as a low order batsman and gradually converted as a top-order batsman. So far, he has featured in 19 innings and has a total score of 855 runs with a healthy average of 53.44.

Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch, who captains Australia in the limited-overs and was a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore, though he failed to deliver performance and is released by the Bengaluru giants for the IPL 2021. Finch, the pinch-hitter, can choke the opposition badly in the upper order. He will be on target by many teams at this auction.

Kedar Devdhar

The Wicketkeeper-batsman from Baroda, who is currently second-highest scorer in the domestic T20 league – Syed Mushtaq Trophy, where he scored 349 runs in eight games with an average of 69.80. Devdhar was a part of Deccan Chargers earlier but could not make it. However, his current form might bring him an IPL contract with a whopping amount.

Timo Werner is a step away from scoring in his new role under Thomas Tuchel

0

While the goals have not been coming in for Timo Werner yet, he looks like a man reborn under new Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel. The Germany international has undergone a change in role to be included in Tuchel’s system, which seems to be suiting him quite well. 

Werner now plays as a left number 10 behind either one of Tammy Abraham or Olivier Giroud, who take up the role of the classic number 9. The new player now has more freedom in the centre to operate not only behind the lone striker but also has another player behind him to cover up.  

Y’We are proud of this win to continue our last wins and, for myself, no goal, but it’s good to see I can help the team with other moments,’ Werner said at Bramall Lane.

‘I’m happy when we win, when I can make two assists, it’s good. When I don’t score, it’s a long period for me, you can’t do anything, you have to keep going and the goals will come.

‘Every manager is different, he gives us a lot of ideas. I play as a left 10, not a winger, so I have more space in the middle. I play behind a striker or with a 10 behind me, it’s very good for me.’

The German has not found the back of the net in 14 games, but has been looking evee so threatening under his compatriot. Werner is usually the main fouled in the box, winning penalties for the team thanks to his blistering pace, and he can have the chance to back up in the games to come.

According to the reports by Cuatro, Paris Saint Germain has made an entrancing plan of action rope in Lionel Messi. The French giants have been in rumours of heavily linked to the Barca star in the past few weeks and have explicitly expressed their wish to make him a part of the club this coming summer.

The analysis is done by L’Equipe which says that there are many possibilities for Messi to join PSG, as they have analyzed four reasons, maybe Neymar’s presence and Messi’s wish to reunite with, and that they have already contacted Messi, as his contract expires in June. He could be Kylian Mbappe’s replacement.

The rumours of Lionel Messi’s link to PSG and Manchester City are in the air ever since the issues with the team and its management and also, administration at the end of the 19-20 season. The Argentine superstar is going to be a free agent this summer, and PSG is trying hard to rope him in, as Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, and also the team director, Leonardo has expressed their wish for Messi’s move to France.

The report outlined that if PSG wants Messi, then they will have to part ways with Mbappe to make Messi’s arrival more feasible, as Mbappe’s contract is only one season away from the end and that if Messi signs up for PSG, Mbappe’s departure will ease the salary bill. L’Equipe’s report also states that Neymar already had a telephonic conversation with his former teammate and great friend Messi regarding his persuasion about his move to Paris.

Jordi Alba, who is one of the most important in the dressing room, was also asked about the news of the Argentine superstar in the press conference before the PSG match, and Alba stated that he wish Messi to stay at the club, and also reminded that the player would be the one to decide.

While Messi is yet to announce his decisions about his future as if he wants to move out of Barca, PSG will try their best to have them. Also, other teams may have the same target. 

There is an upcoming clash between Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain tomorrow in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 ties.

Supreme Court of India issues notices challenging Facebook & WhatsApp’s new Privacy Policy

On Monday, the honorable Supreme Court of India issued notices to the social media giant Facebook and the messaging application WhatsApp. The subject is the new privacy policy; the companies are trying to apply for the Indian users.

A Bench, headed by CJI SA Bobde, noted to the companies that users’ privacy must be protected and not be shared with the other companies. The new privacy policy in the queue is lower in standard than the policies applied to different continents like Europe. The Bench also asked the companies to respond within the next four weeks.

The senior advocate Shyam Divan highlighted that WhatsApp is differentiating between India and Europe’s users in terms of privacy standards. However, the messaging app authority already denied this allegation. Mr. Divan also alleged that WhatsApp already sold a huge amount of metadata to third parties.

You probably know that WhatsApp has already declared a delay of three months to impose its new privacy policy for the Indian users. Earlier, it was scheduled to become active on 8th February. A noticeable percentage of Indian users shifted to other alternatives like Telegram and Signal after the new privacy policy announcement.

From the company side, senior advocate Kapil Sibal said that Europe has their General Data Protection Regulations, where Indian doesn’t. “We will follow the law if Parliament makes it,”

The CJI said, “We are telling you what we heard and read. People think that if A sends a message to B and B to C, the circuit of messages is revealed to Facebook,”

The new benchmark of Intel Rocket Lake Iris Xe GPU is here, proves to be slower than AMD’s Renoir Vega GPU & on par with GeForce GT 1030

0

Only one month is left before the launch of the Intel Rocket Lake CPU, but the 11th gen chip is in rumors since last year. At the Chinese video portal Bilibili, the new benchmarks of the Rocket Lake Xe GPU have been leaked.

On the Core i5-11500 which has features like 6 cores and 12 threads, the Iris Xe GPU was tested. The base clock of the CPU is 2.70 GHz while the boost clock is not known. The CPU was tested on the MSI Z590-A PRO motherboard which has 32 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz memory.

The Intel Rocket Lake Iris Xe GPU contains 32 Execution units or 256 cores. The driver where it is tested is from early January 2021 and GPU-z is still not able to pick up the exact specifications or clocks for it. The Iris Xe GPU has gone through the tests within many eSports titles and also 3DMark Time Spy.

The chip scored about 1053 points in Time Spy within the graphics test which get a 53 percent increase over the UHD 630 graphics chip that comes with the Comet Lake Core i5-10400.

Intel Rocket Lake Core i5 11500 Desktop CPU Iris Xe UHD 750 GPU Benchmarks 3 The new benchmark of Intel Rocket Lake Iris Xe GPU is here, proves to be slower than AMD’s Renoir Vega GPU & on par with GeForce GT 1030

On par with NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 1030, the Intel Xe GPU comes with a score of 1100-1200 points, but it is very slow than AMD’s Renoir APUs featuring the Vega GPUs. In the same benchmark, the AMD Ryzen 7 4750G can score 1600 points.

It seems that the future launch drivers for the Rocket Lake Iris Xe GPUs from Intel could help to gain a boost in overall performance and carry the score nearly 1100-1200 points. Despite this, AMD’s Cezanne and Renoir GPUs will remain in a totally different league. Based on gaming performance, the Iris Xe GPU can offer over 60 FPS in CSGO at 1080p and around 140-150 FPS in League of Legends at 1080p.

Google and Facebook stand firm against Australia’s new law

0

The new legislation which the Australian government might pass stands to make the tech giants like Google and Facebook pay the media companies for the news contents.

But the new law does not sit well with the U.S-based tech giants, who are the two of the world’s biggest tech companies. To make matters extreme, Google is even threatening to shut down its search engine in the continent if the law is enacted.

Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg held talks with Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg and Google counterpart Sundar Pichai over the weekend. “We’re very close to some very significant commercial deals. We have made great progress.”

According to sources, parliament will consider the legislation from this week. It will give the internet giants an incentive to agree on compensation terms for news companies before the law is passed.

If Facebook and Google didn’t manage to strike a beneficial deal with the Australian administration, soon, Canada and the European Union will follow similar legislation.

Google has proposed that compensating publishers through its News Showcase product, under which it pays media outlets for curated content, rather than be bound by the legislation, will help both the company and the media outlets.

The Australian government is willing to let the technology companies avoid paying for news snippets if the media companies sign up to Google Showcase and Facebook News.

For further details, we will have to wait and see what new negotiations arise.
