According to Mac Rumours, we’re going to see a new iPhone SE in 2025. The device is going to look a lot like the iPhone 14 Codenamed D59 or Ghost will have the flat display, and lighter than the iPhone 14. It’s also believed to have USBC onboard which would be a huge win for a lower cost iPhone. — The new super Mario RPG game, which is set to launch next week has already leaked online. Originally came out in 1996, set in a FF style game. It’s a remake of the classic game. Meaning, if you have a hacked Switch, you could potentially download and play it today. Oatmeal Dome on Twitter has announced it runs on Unity engine. Has a rich story line, with lots of twists and turns throughout. — If you’re fan of customising your keyboard, brand, who is well known for skins and cases has their own key caps available. There’s three unique looks It only comes with two keycaps, the ESC key and the enter key. The ESC key is a pyramid aluminium keycap And the enter key is rebranded as F OFF lol. Pretty typical of dBrands edge marketing style. “According to Dbrand "This started with a simple premise: an escape key that stabs whoever presses it. Lawyers advised that we soften the tip a little bit, but rest assured you're never more than one firm key press away from drawing blood." The Pyramid key comes in three variations: Neochrome, Black, and Raw Metal, and pairs with any GMK set, fitting seamlessly into any keyboard that uses the Cherry profile”

New OLED Steam Deck is a HUGE upgrade over the previous version. It has upgrades to the screen, battery life, processor, controls, triggers, weight and SO much more. Plus it now comes in a 1TB version. Is this enough to convince you to make a purchase? Personally, I’m VERY tempted. — Announced today, the new Humane Ai Pin is wearable device that helps you with every day tasks utilising the power of AI. The device can send messages, search the internet, play music, do real time translation, and even project useful information onto your hand via a small onboard projector. It’s $699 for the bundle that includes the computer, case, cable, battery and also requires a $24 a month mobile plan. --- This week Motorola showcased a new folding wearable device that has the functionality to bend back almost in a full 360 motion, allowing the device to become a smartwatch/slap band wrist watch. Personally, I don’t see much use for the device - what do you think?

The new M3 Macbooks are here, and they've been unboxed, benchmarked and as expected, these machines are MONSTERS. What's interesting is the new anodized finish does do an excellent job of rejecting finger prints and grease. (As per Dave2D's nose test). --- In other news, OpenAI just dropped a huge update that lets creators make their own ChatGPT apps - which is INSANELY powerful. If you're a content creator of any type, this could literally life changing. --- And finally, TikTok has just announced that they're removing their 1 billion creator fund in December. Right now it seems to be only for select countries, (Australia is safe?). This is a huge disappointment for anyone working hard to create new content on the platform.

Good news guys... the first benchmarks for the new m3 chips have arrived, and they're promising! I found a great article that shows the M3 Max is basically on par with the M2 Ultra. Check the article out here for more detail: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/11/01/m3-max-chip-benchmark-results/ -- In other news, turns out that the UE EpicBoom is a huge disappointment. For $350, you're basically getting a bluetooth speaker. I'd most definitely recommend the SONOS 2 over the new UE speaker. https://www.sonos.com/en-au/shop/move-2https://www.sonos.com/en-au/shop/move-2 -- And last but not least is an update for Chrome on iOS. It finally has the address bar at the bottom of the screen - YAY! I've wanted this featuer for sooooo long.

Hey guys, my iPhone 13 PM was draining battery like crazy. Turns out it's a bug with iOS 17.1. If you're having the same issue as me, I updated to 17.2 via a beta build. My battery is now back to normal (actually better than before!). --- If you picked up the One Plus Open, turns out theres a hidden gem that allows you to connect the Oppo Pen and use it with complete connectivity. It works and functions exactly as you would expect and works on both the external and internal screens. Nice hidden gem! Thanks OnePlus. -- Also, OneUI 6.0 has just dropped, making it the fatest Android 14 update ever from a non-Google manufacturer. It has a slew of new features and fucntionality, but my personal fav is the ability to drop down the quick settings in one swipe and get access to everything - however you'll need to install Samsungs Good Lock to get this feature.

Today I found a really interesting article on GameRant that talks about a new patent that Nintendo has filed for a dual-screen device. Could it be the new Switch 2? Possibly. Source: gamerant Would a dual-screen Switch 2 be awesome, heck yeah it would! The patent shows a device that folds over and also comes apart into two separate devices. A great idea for local multi-player games. Also, if you get the chance, check out a new video from Apple that shows how they used an iPhone 15 Pro Max to create the latest M3 Event. Incredible stuff!

The new Apple m3 chip is offically here! It brings HUGE boosts across the board, with a strong focus on GPU performance, increased CPU gains and up to 120GB of storage. It makes it the ideal Macbook for creatives, designers, video editors and anyone who wants insane amounts of power on the go. The new Macbook Pro 14 & 16 inch come in an awesome new black colour, and get a price reduction for the base model! ($1499) The iMac 14 inch also gets the new m3 chips, but no other major changes. It also stays at the same price.

Apple's new m3 chip is about to launch, but here's all the latest leaks & rumors right before it lands. Leaks are indicating: Source: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m3/ 8 CPU cores (4 high-performance and 4 energy-efficient)10 GPU cores Roughly 35% increase in efficiently, meaning better battery life (yay!) I personally think the m3 chip will push hard in gaming, with Apple making a big announcement around it's gaming layer technology. The new m3 chip will be the first 3nm chip in a Mac, which should be a nice bump in overall performance in general. I also watched a great video from Matt Talks Tech about the possibility of Nintendo Switch 2 using Apple Silicon. Do you think it's possible?

Qualcomm has just announced their new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and early benchmarks show this thing is absolutely CRUSH everything. It edges out the Apple A17 Pro chip slightly in some tests, although the A17 is slightly more powerful in the single core. Samsung hasn't officially announced they'll use this chip - however, it's believed they'll create an overclocked 'for Samsung' version.

OnePlus just released its new Open, and it's already the BEST folding device of 2023. Beautiful display Incredibly battery life No gap when closed Barely noticeable hinge crease 67w charging Charger in the box Hasselblad cameras! But the question that most want to know is it worth $1699?

Looks like we'll be getting TWO versions of the 2024 AirPods. Both will have a refreshed design, with shorter stems and USB-C. This is a welcome update as Apple makes the move to all devices being USB-C. It's also rumored that the Apple AirPods Max will get a refresh with new colors and hopefully (fingers crossed) a new case! Are you excited for the new updates?
