Think Different? LOOK different also! And well, they will attract attention with their appearance too. The AirPods Max first off look nothing like AirPods. No, they are not tiny, white, or dainty. These are hefty, metallic cups that are slightly rectangular in shape (stepping away from the generally round and oval shapes seen in the segment) with smooth rounded sides, that are attached to a shiny stainless steel frame with a thin mesh on the band connecting both of them....

Heck, it’s small The first thing that is going to hit you about the iPhone X is just how compact it is. It sports the largest display we have seen on an iPhone at 5.8 inches, but is much – MUCH – smaller than the 5.5-inch display toting iPhone 8 Plus. It is 143.6 mm long as compared to the rather large 158.4 mm of the 8 Plus and its 70....

It is not as if it looks like a “cheaper” avatar of the iPhone, though. Unlike the iPhone 5c, which took flak for its plastic-y look, the XR stays in the premium zone when it comes to appearance. It has got glass in the front and back, with the glass on the back said to be tougher than the one on the iPhone X, if not quite as strong as the one on the iPhone XS and XS Max....

First up is the Xperia XZ2 which is the bigger of the two. Coming with a 5.7-inch Full HD+ screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, the screen has an 18:9 aspect ration. It has decent viewing angles but is rather reflective and picks up smudges too easily. But the bigger worry we had was the fact that the phone has a considerable amount of bezels (even after skinning it off from earlier), it doesn’t look like a phone that has a taller aspect ration....

Chrome OS was announced by Google in July of 2009, they also announced Chromium in November which was the open source version of Chrome OS. Chrome/Chromium OS is based on Linux and it resembles Google’s popular web browser with the same name. Unlike Chromium OS which can be run on any hardware, Chrome only works with specific hardware partners of Google.

However, not all Poco F1 users have got the update yet, as its rollout has been gradual. Of course, you can wait for the update to come over the air (OTA) on your Poco F1 (just check in Settings > About Phone > System updates > Check for updates), but if the OTA has not arrived yet, and you want MIUI 10 on your Poco F1 device right now, just follow these simple steps to get your device onto the tenth wave of MIUI, and no, you do not need to flash your device or go within a mile of a PC:

Xiaomi tops the quarter, turns in a record year Xiaomi topped the Indian market again in Q4 2019, with 10.7 million units and a market share of 29 percent, up from 9.3 million units in Q4 2018. Driving the sales were the Redmi Note 8 Pro, Note 8, Redmi 8A. However, what was really remarkable was that Xiaomi recorded shipments of 43.6 million units in 2019. That is the higher ever shipments made by ANY brand in a year in India....

https://youtu.be/305ryPvU6A8 Hey, Siri, dance me into a trippy trance! Titled “Welcome Home,” the ad is a four-minute affair directed by Spike Jonze (of “Knowing John Malkovich” fame), and features singer and dancer FKA Twigs dancing to a new track from Anderson Paak – oh, and of course, the HomePod itself. Jonze is known for his extremely off-beat approach to filmmaking and has a number of extremely unusual music videos (check out the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage”) and commercials to his credit....

Jai Mani does not give interviews. Xiaomi India’s Lead Product Manager, very much like rebel warrior Katsumoto in The Last Samurai, likes a good conversation. And revels in discussions – he is not a man overfond of his own voice, although that does not stop him from using some rather long sentences. Introduced to the Indian audience on stage during the Mi 4 launch in early 2015 by Xiaomi’s then Global Vice-President Hugo Barra (who insisted on calling him “handsome” every time he referred to him), with whom he had earlier worked in Google (a lot of mediapersons still refer to him as the “Google Guy at Xiaomi”), Mani has evolved into being the “geek” face of the tech company, the person with whom one discusses the tech side of the company’s phones, be it processor design, camera algorithms or his favourite subject, UI and software....

Vine (Free) Vine has been hugely popular ever since it was launched on iPhone a long time back. It now has more than 13 million users, and Twitter has finally released Vine for Android as well....

Contextual App Folder This nifty little app is capable of generating a dynamic folder based on various factors such as your location, whether a headphone is connected, time, Bluetooth connection, and more. Hence, when a particular event is triggered, the content i.e. the apps of this folder will be changed with the ones you’ve selected. For instance, you can configure a scenario where when headphones are linked, the widget shows all the music applications....

With Windows 11, Microsoft upped the ante and included support for copying images, emoticons, and other symbols to make the clipboard more versatile. However, despite these feature add-ons, the native clipboard manager on Windows 10 and Windows 11 still falls short of what it should be: it’s inconsistent and often fails to copy certain elements. Not to mention, managing clipboard history on the default clipboard manager is still problematic. So if your work involves copy-pasting a lot of text between apps and you wish to have advanced features like autosave, hotkeys, plugins, cloud-syncing, etc....

Angry Birds 2 is the first free major game in the series and it’s out for iOS and Android And just like any other free game in 2015, it’s laden with in-app purchases and ads. To me, though, the striking difference is just how heavy the game is. Angry Birds was a casual game with really simple and cartoonish graphics. Even on my old iPod Touch 3rd gen, I could start playing in a couple of seconds....

To jog up your memory, the lawsuit began in January 2017, with trials kicking off this Monday, in a federal court in San Diego. The basis of the lawsuit was the patent licensing practices, which according to Apple, included unreasonably high patent fees for smartphone modems. Due to this, Apple had to go with Intel for getting the required modems for its 2018 iPhone lineup. As per the settlement agreement, Apple will be making a payment to Qualcomm of an undisclosed amount....

iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max: Design Let’s start with the design first. Both the iPhone 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max feature a squared-off flat-edge design, which is very reminiscent of the iPhone 4 series. This design change comes after several years, during which period, the iPhones underwent different design approaches. One of the biggest and probably the most radical shift in design during this period was with the iPhone X back in 2017, which featured a completely different design language that paved the way for a bezel-less future....

This rogue version of Xcode App would literally dupe developers and send back device information along with sensitive data back to the hackers. This would plague the otherwise good apps into data leaking taps, which would eventually give away all the user details to the hackers thus flagging a serious security concern. The hackers found way to embed the malicious code in the targeted apps by prodding developers to use a rogue version of the XCode software, which is usually used by the developers to create iOS apps....

The existing subscription plan pricing for Apple Music, until today, started at Rs 60 per month for students, Rs 120 per month for individuals, and Rs 190 per month for a family plan. When compared to other services like JioSaavn, Gaana, YouTube Music, and Spotify, the new Apple Music subscription lies close to that of JioSaavn, Gaana, and YouTube Music. For comparison, Spotify charges Rs 1189 for an annual subscription and Rs 129 for a monthly subscription....
