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.

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:

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.

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?
