Apple has quietly launched a new iPhone 8 repair program that will replace faulty logic boards for free. The new option is due to a “very small percentage” of iPhone 8 smartphones that feature logic boards with a “manufacturing defect,” according to Apple. These faulty units were sold in multiple countries, including the US, China, and Japan. READ: iPhone 8 … Continue reading
A new study warns that insects may devour more crops as the planet heats up, potentially increasing their consumption of popular grains by as much as 25-percent. The increase would result from higher temperatures, which boosts insect energy demand and results in more crops falling victim to pests. The study also reveals that pest numbers may increase in our warmer … Continue reading
Earlier this year and less than a year since its release, the Nintendo Switch achieved a milestone in which it managed to outsell its predecessor, the Wii U. This is despite the fact that the Wii U was around for about five years. Now it looks like the Switch has achieved yet another milestone, in which its game sales have also managed to outsell those of the Wii U.
This is according to data from Game Data Library in which they estimate that Switch game sales have surpassed those of the Wii U in 18 months, at least as far as the Japanese market is concerned. If the data is accurate, over in Japan total digital software sales for the Wii U was at 15 million, in which the Switch managed to beat that towards the end of June where they sold 16 million units.
This is only retail, including digital total software sales of Wii U in Japan are at 15m, Switch was at 16m by the end of June, should be around 18m-19m by now.
Launch periods complicate things but at least by March Switch was outdoing NDS and 3DS software launches aligned.

By their estimates, the sales should be around the 18-19 million mark by now. That being said, it shouldn’t really be surprising because when you consider that every Switch owner probably owns at least one game and with the number of Switch units sold, it makes sense that its game sales could beat the Wii U’s game sales.
Nintendo’s first-party titles have been doing really well based on the charts, although what’s surprising is that many indie developers have also been flocking over to the Switch to launch their games, making it a popular platform for those who love their indie games.

If the rumors are true, Fujifilm is expected to announce the X-T3 mirrorless camera very soon because last we heard, it was supposed to begin shipping out to customers by the end of September. That being said, we must be getting close because the ever-reliable Nokishita Camera has managed to get their hands on what appears to be photos of the X-T3.
Now upon first glance, the X-T3 actually looks a lot like the X-T2 in terms of design. The dials for exposure, shutter speed, and ISO all remain the same, and the threaded shutter release button is still present. For those who might have been hoping for a slightly larger grip similar to that of the X-H1, it appears that won’t be the case, although Fuji Rumors does note that it will be bigger, although it’s a bit hard to tell from the photos.
What this means is that the changes made to the X-T3 over the X-T2 will be under the hood. Whether or not these changes are worth upgrading from the X-T2 remains to be seen as we’ll have to wait for all the official details. However if you are still hanging on to the X-T1, or maybe one of the lower-end X-series of cameras, then this will definitely be worth checking out.
Interesting enough we have also heard rumors that the X-T3 could actually be priced less than the X-T2, so if the X-T2’s price put you off, hopefully the X-T3 will be a bit more friendly to our wallets.
