Camera benchmark specialists DxO just recently revised their testing procedures and ratings to make room for modern smartphone camera features. And that update may have just given Apple the advantage to reclaim the title of King of Smartphone Cameras. The second new smartphone it tested after the update (the Xperia XZ Premium being the first), the iPhone 8 Plus now … Continue reading

Apple’s new iPhone 8 sports a slightly new design in which the back portion of the phone is now covered in glass similar to that of the iPhone 4 and 4S. From a design point of view it looks amazing, but in terms of practicality, it looks like it could end up being prone to scratches and smudges.

For those wondering about the durability of the glass on the back of the iPhone 8, YouTuber JerryRigEverything decided to put the phone through its paces by performing scratch and bend tests on it, to see how well it could hold up under abuse. According to his findings, the iPhone 8 seems to hold up pretty well and only starts to scratch at a Moh level 6 hardness, which puts it in line with other flagship phones.

This means that for the most part putting it together in your phone with your keys and coins should not damage the phone. However what was interesting was the camera lens cover, which in the past used to be covered by sapphire, but the tests found that it could be scratched with at a Moh level 6 hardness.

This has led to speculation that it could be some kind of hybrid material or a proprietary material used by Apple instead of pure sapphire. However like we said the phone seems to hold up pretty well, but we guess getting a case to further protect it might not be the worst idea considering it might be expensive to replace.

When Nintendo and Ubisoft officially announced Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle earlier this year, safe to say that this was a collaboration that not many had expected. However it turned out to be a great idea because from what we are hearing, the title is selling pretty well, so much so that it is apparently the best-selling third-party title for the Nintendo Switch.

This is according to the sales figures tracked by companies such as NPD and Chart-Track GFK who tracked the sales of the title over markets such as North America and Australia. However note that this is based on physical sales of the title, although we suppose that it could also be a potential gauge for overall sales as well.

So far the third-party releases we’ve seen for the Switch have been mostly well-received, like Super Bomberman R and Puyo Puyo Tetris, just to name a few. That being said, there are still quite a few third-party titles that have yet to be released on the Switch, such as Bethesda who recently announced a slew of third-party games for the Switch, such as 2016’s DOOM reboot, Wolfenstein II, and Skyrim, some of which are expected to be launched this year, while the rest will be arriving in 2018.

Many were probably pretty excited ahead of Apple’s iPhone announcements, but it seems that following the announcements, things haven’t appeared to be too good for the company. According to a report from Reuters (via MacRumors), it seems that the turnout for the iPhone 8 in Australia appear to be rather bleak.

The report claims that over in Sydney, about 30 people turned up for the iPhone 8’s release, with users from other parts in Australia also sharing similar experiences. In a way it is rather ironic because ahead of the iPhones being announced, lines had already begun to form, but it seems that might have been the extent of it.

While it is unclear why there appears to be less people this year, there could be a number of factors, such as how people might now prefer making their purchases online. An alternative is that customers appear to be holding out for the iPhone X, which is what many analysts seem to suggest.

However this doesn’t mean that the iPhone 8 is a flop, it’s just that demand does not appear to be too great this year. We will have to wait for the official figures to be released before we will know the truth, but in the meantime Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has suggested that some stores have already sold out of the device.
