Japanese gaming console manufacturer Nintendo has apparently ordered game developers to make games for 4k consoles and keep them on standby, as they seek to increase their production of existing Nintendo Switch consoles by 20%. It would only seem to confirm the fact that their consoles could be getting an upgrade on their gaming resolution.
According to a report from Bloomberg’s Takashi Mochizuki, “Several outside game developers, speaking anonymously as the issue is private, said that Nintendo has asked them to make their games 4K-ready, suggesting a resolution upgrade is on its way.”
Nintendo's plan to keep the Switch’s hot streak going into the holiday season https://t.co/LkoitsHMRK
Although it is unclear on how and whether or not a 4K gaming console would actually be released, in recent times the upscale in production means that Nintendo is anticipating a good deal of demand for their Switch consoles and so it is believed that they would be operating at a production capacity of 120%.
It sounds surprising, however, as the Switch has not exactly impressed since its inception in 2016 with its innovation and underpowered display panel – considering users can just as usually purchase PlayStation or Xbox consoles and products. In any case, Nintendo believes that the sales will notch up over the November-December period especially during Christmas, and so any technology and performance-related upgrades will have to come soon.
If the 4k consoles indeed come out, they could consist of the DLSS 2.0 technology integration by NVIDIA. There are some new changes planned on the design front for the new Nintendo Switch. Filed for a patent in 2018, the “Joy-Con” controller means there would not be a need for a handheld mode. In addition, they have also appealed to specific gaming popularity bases such as Fortnite fans, where they are going to launch a new edition of existing Nintendo Switch consoles with the blue and yellow theme. All in all, the house of Mario themed games could be making some serious moves.

Electronic Arts (EA) has already revealed the launch date of the next series of the FIFA franchise. FIFA 21 would release globally on 9th October. A Goalkeeper in football can change the fate of the match totally, so choosing the right goalkeeper is obviously important and in FIFA 21 you have a lot of options.
There’s a neck-to-neck competition between the goalkeepers, but who are the best Goalkeepers to save you from attacking threats? Let’s see who are the top 10 highest-rated Goalkeepers in FIFA 21:

6. Ederson

The biggest upgrade for Ederson is because of his excellent season with Manchester City even though they were trophyless this time.

5. Manuel Neuer

It’s almost the time for Apple’s biggest event of the year when it launches the much-awaited iPhones but due to the coronavirus pandemic it has been delayed a little but that didn’t stop either Apple from making it or leaksters from leaking every bit about it.
So here’s everything we know or we have seen till now about this year’s iPhone lineup.
The Design
So as far as naming is concerned it’s going to follow the last year’s iPhone 11 convention but this year we are getting four to be an iPhone 12 lineup which will be having an affordable iPhone 12 and two higher-end iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
According to rumors, there is a 6.7-inch iPhone which will be eventually called iPhone 12 while the higher-end iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be having a 5.4 and 6.1-inch and this year’s iPhone lineup is going to get the nostalgic treatment as rumors are indicating towards an iPhone 4 like the boxy design.
Well, the notch is not going anywhere as reported earlier while recent reports have suggested that the new iPhones might be coming with a smaller notch which seems much more real than having a no notch.
According to Jon Prosser, who’s one of the prominent Apple leakers, the 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch iPhone 12 models which will be known as iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 respectively are expected to sport an aluminum chassis and dual camera setup at the back while Pro models which are expected to have two variants one having a 6.1-inch display and another one having a 6.7-inch display is expected to have the same aluminum chassis but instead of two, it will be having three cameras in the back along with the LIDAR sensor which was introduced back in 2020 with the iPad Pro.
OLED Display
Last year the premium iPhones of the block, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max got the OLED treatment while the cheapest of the herd was left stuck with the Retina display which is Apple’s terms for LED panel but this time things are changing all the four iPhones of 2020 are expected to ship with OLED panels.
The lowest-end model is expected to get Samsung’s OLED panel powered by the company’s proprietary Y-Octa technology while Apple is expected to go with LG for the displays of later two iPhones.
Source: Front Page Tech/ Jon Prosser
Another rumor which is doing the rounds of the internet is an iPhone with a higher refresh rate display or in Apple terms an iPhone with a Pro Display that means chances are that the biggest of all, the iPhone 12 Pro Max could come with a 120Hz display panel but nothing is final because according to several sources Apple is facing some production issue so you might or might not see an iPhone with a higher refresh rate but its shame if Apple is citing production issues as the reason because several companies have been able to put a 120Hz display in a budget level device so why can’t Apple do it?
Processor
Just like every year, the iPhones are expected to be powered by new chipsets, and this year its time for the A14 which will be “a significant upgrade to the processor with an emphasis on speeding up artificial intelligence and AR tasks.” according to Bloomberg. Apple is also expected to launch A14Z this year which is expected to power Apple’s upcoming ARM-based MacBooks.
The A14 is expected to power all four iPhones while the cheaper iPhones would be getting the 4GB RAM while the “Pro” models will be shipping with 6GB of RAM. Rumors also suggest that the lower end iPhones will be having base storage of 64GB while the other two variants will be getting a minimum of 128GB of storage.
According to the leaked certification, the rumored cheapest iPhone with a 5.4-inch display is expected to boast a 2227mAh battery while both the 6.1-inch iPhones are expected to have a 2775mAh battery and the 6.7-inch iPhone might get a 3687mAh.
Two, Three, or Four Cameras?
Last year’s iPhones were the best among the crowd and were praised a lot for their astonishing cameras and according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuothe cameras are getting some improvements this year.
According to an early report from Toms Guide, Apple is expected to go with a 64MP sensor for iPhone 12 models but it seems highly unlikely and we would suggest you take this information with a grain of salt but you can do expect a high-class camera setup mainly two on the low-end iPhones and three on higher-end ones with a LIDAR sensor on the iPhone 12 Pro models.
Recent leaks have also pointed to the capability of recording videos in 4K at 240 frames per second on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which means crystal-clear 4K slow-motion videos so now you can record your friends doing something silly in slow motion.
5G connectivity
iPhones have lagged quite behind in adopting recent technology but that won’t be a case in 2020 since Apple is expected to introduce 5G compatible iPhone 12 and will be using Qualcomm’s 5G chip for the support with Apple and Qualcomm putting their dispute behind.
There are even rumors of an iPhone 12 with 4G support launching in early 2021 for budget-friendly markets like India as 5G ain’t cheap.
Chargers and Earphone discontinued
Just like the 3.5mm charging port, Apple is expected to get rid of Charging adapter and Earphones according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. This is going to be another big shift for iPhones as iPhones are coming with charger and earphones since its inception but Apple isn’t going to make it simpler to charge your iPhone as Apple is expecting to put Lightning to USB-C cable in the box which will let you charge your iPhone from your Macbook and you should also stop expecting USB C port since its unlikely to come this year.
Apple is also getting rid of the slower 5W and 18W charging adapter as few people have spotted a new 20W adapter which is going to be sold for somewhere around $60 and is expected to debut with the new iPhone lineup this year and the same was even told by Kuo.
Expected Pricing
iPhones have never been a cheap deal but things changed over the last few years when Apple introduced the iPhone XR that paved the way for low-cost iPhones then this year’s iPhone SE was one of the best mid-range smartphones priced just at $399 and offering last year’s high-end chip which powered top of the line iPhones.
According to a recent leak, Apple is planning to launch iPhone 12 which is expected to be the cheapest among the four priced at $699 which is the same as last year’s iPhone 11 while the iPhone 12 Pro is expected to start at $999 and one more model dubbed at 12S is supposed to be priced at $599
Launch Date
Well no one knows an exact date that’s for sure but everyone’s doing hit and miss trial on the dates where many have been vouching for the September launch while many others are suggesting an October launch and the October launch seems pretty real since Apple has already given a statement that “this year’s iPhones will be available “a few weeks later” than their usual September launch date” at its Q3 earnings calls.
On the second hand, Bloomberg has reported that the less expensive of the lots are expected to come earlier than the higher-end models that means that the cheaper ones could have an early shipping date then the pricey ones.
Apple has even announced a September 15 event but we don’t expect any iPhone announcements in that since people familiar with Apple are pointing towards the launch of refreshed iPad Air and Apple Watch Series 6.
IPL 2020 is just a handful of days away. T20, especially IPL, has always been a type of cricket which is constantly evolving. Be it with the invention of various shots like reverse sweep or utilization of slower deliveries with the ball. Not to forget those catch along the boundary which could have easily been sixes a few years ago.
Despite such dynamic nature of the game, having a stable combination is extremely important in T20 cricket. Especially in IPL where you have the restriction of playing only four foreign players. Needless to say, the captain is the most integral piece of this T20 puzzle. An IPL captain has to allocate his resources properly according to the conditions and strengths of his team. The IPL 2020 tournament being in UAE will add another layer to it.
Today we will analyse the captains of every IPL team. We will reflect on some of their past moments and lastly discuss the best captain of them all.
Virat Kohli (RCB)
We start off with probably the most controversial name on the list. RCB’s performance keeping in mind the team they have is just baffling. Unfortunately, captain Kolhi has to take the blame for their collective failure. Everybody knows the aggressive nature of Kohli. He has directed that aggressive nature towards proper ideas for the betterment of the team. However, the results do not reflect. Kohli has led the side in 110 matches with a winning percentage of 44.5%.
Kohli has done a great job firstly by taking responsibility to open the innings. He has also instilled confidence in his pace bowlers and spinners. He has backed young talent like Mohammad Siraj and Navdeep Saini. Because of him, both Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have improved. Sadly he fails to get the collective effort of the rest of the team.
David Warner (SRH)
David Warner happens to be one of the only two foreign captains in the tournament. Warner led the side last year as well but not for the entire season. The Sunrisers being a balanced team, Warner has his work cut out for him. He also has the guidance of long-time captain Kane Williamson. The good thing being about Warner is the Aussie is in sublime form. It will be interesting to see whether he could translate that momentum into batting and captaincy. He has captained in 47 matches with a win percentage of 55.3%.
Steve Smith (RR)
Along with David Warner, Steve Smith happens to be one of the two foreign captains in the IPL. Smith also happens to be the captain of the elite Australian national team. However, he hasn’t shown much of that in IPL. Smith could only captain few matches of the 2019 season when the Royals finished seventh. Good thing being him having a lot of leadership experience. Royals have a newly formed side so it will be interesting to see how Smith works with them. It can actually be a double-edged sword if not executed properly. He has captained in 29 matches with a winning percentage of 65.55%.
KL Rahul (KXIP)
Rahul has always been like a lone warrior for his team. Rahul has run through the T20 batsman rankings at number 2. It will be interesting to see how the added weight of captaincy reflects on his performance. Rahul has always been a team man for team India batting at almost every position and also kept wickets. Therefore, taking responsibility isn’t something new for Rahul.
Shreyas Iyer (DC)
Iyer has been like a fresh of new air among the captaincy circuit. He took captaincy from Gautam Gambhir and took the team to an impressive third place last season. What made it more impressive is that he had a very young team to work with. Iyer is expected to deliver the same performance this time around as well. He has captained in 24 matches with a 54% winning percentage.
Dinesh Karthik (KKR)
Karthik has impressed in his captaincy as well. He has taken off from where Gautam Gambhir left. He has stuck with what has worked by the side by promoting Sunil Narine at the opening place. He has led in 22 matches with a winning percentage of 50%. Striking the right balance has always been his strength.
MS Dhoni (CSK)
Nothing needs to be said about captain cool, MS Dhoni. Throughout the years he has been a phenomenal leader for the Indian team and Chennai Super Kings. Team India has got world-class talents like Ravichandra Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Manpreet Gony, Deepak Chahar, and even the comeback of Ashish Nehra under his supervision. CSK has won three IPL trophies under him. He instils a lot of confidence in any player, be it young or old. He has captained in a whopping 174 matches with a winning percentage of 60.11%
Rohit Sharma (MI)
Rohit Sharma happens to be the most successful IPL captain with MI winning four seasons under him that too in only seven years. Sharma has shown a proper blend of both data and instincts. He has recognized his team’s strengths and weaknesses properly. He is known for his allocation of resources. Sharma has also earned a perfect balance of his foreign players and has worked on his bench strength as well. Just like Dhoni, many cricketers like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Ambati Rayadu, Jasprit Bumrah, etc, have been prepared under him. He has captained in 104 matches with a winning percentage of 58.65%.
Who is the best captain?
One may say, Rohit Sharma, based on the stats and the number of cups he has won. However, in my opinion, MS Dhoni continues to become the best IPL captain going into season 2020. The way he has commanded both young and veteran players throughout the years is phenomenal. The fact that he has the highest winning percentage despite leading in the most number of matches, itself justifies his greatness.
(PC- Outlook India)
Recently 13 members of the CSK staff including 2 players were tested positive. Also, seniors Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh pulled out of the tournament. Dhoni was given the option of starting the tournament a bit late. But he stuck with the scheduled fixture, that just goes to show his bravery and courage as a leader.

3. Kylian Mbappe
Club: Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1) Nationality: France Overall: 90 Position: ST
The FIFA 21 cover star took his club all the way to the Champions League final but failed to beat Bayern in the finals. Mbappe would be hoping to pair with Neymar once again in a bid to bring the Champions League trophy home.
2. Robert Lewandowski
Club: Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) Nationality: Poland Overall: 91 Position: ST
Arguably, the best player of last season, Lewandowski played a huge role in helping Bayern Munich win the continental treble for the second time in the history. He would definitely feel robbed of the Ballon d’Or after France Football cancelled this year’s edition of the award.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
Club: Juventus (Serie A) Nationality: Portugal Overall: 92 Position: ST
