Hasta La Gadget!

A few months ago, Apple officially unveiled the M1 Max and Pro chipsets that would be used in the company’s revamped MacBook Pro laptops. These are essentially souped up versions of the M1 chipset that launched in 2020, and the M1 Max and Pro MacBook Pros do not come cheap.

However, for professionals who take and edit photos for a living, it might be a price that might be justifiable. This is according to a series of tests conducted by CNET in which they found that editing photos in Adobe Lightroom on the M1 Max has shaved a lot of time off the editing process, which could be invaluable in a photographer’s workflow.

For example in their tests, merging six 30MP Canon DNG images into a panorama took the M1 Max took about 14 seconds, versus the 67 seconds it took on a 2019 Intel i7 MacBook Pro. This difference was made even more abundantly clear when it merged two 151MP Phase One images, which took 34 seconds on the M1 Max, but almost three times longer at 109 seconds on the Intel MacBook Pro.

For regular users who might edit a couple of photos every now and then, this probably won’t matter as much, but when you’re a professional that needs to churn out dozens of edits a day, a few seconds here and there most definitely adds up over time.

With the pandemic still ongoing, going to places like the cinema might not be particularly feasible, or at least some people might not be comfortable being in an enclosed space with a lot of other people. This is why many movie studios have found other ways of releasing their movies, such as through streaming services.

For those who have been eagerly anticipating Marvel’s Eternals but don’t want to go to the movies, you’ll be pleased to learn that Disney has announced that in January 2022, Eternals will be available for streaming through its Disney+ platform. It will be streamable in the IMAX Enhanced format if you enjoy watching movies in that format.

While some of Disney’s movies in 2020 and 2021 were released directly to Disney+, some of which were released with a premium fee on top of it, like Black Widow, the company has been slowly moving away from this release format, like with Shang-Chi where the movie was released in cinemas first before it eventually made its way onto Disney+.

The same treatment is being given to Eternals, but it is expected to be the last movie to do so before Disney goes back to its more traditional releases. Movies will eventually make its way onto Disney+, but the window between cinema and Disney+ releases will be longer.

If you’re a PlayStation owner, there’s a good chance you know about Sony’s PlayStation Now streaming service. This is Sony’s game streaming service that was launched several years ago, but it is currently only available on Sony’s PlayStation consoles and PCs.

However, according to a report from The Verge, they have uncovered confidential documents during the Epic VS Apple trial that revealed that Sony apparently had plans to bring the service onto mobile devices.

The reason why this was mentioned during the trial was because Apple was trying to explain their plans to launch their own subscription service which was later known as Apple Arcade, and somehow Apple managed to find out information that revealed Sony’s upcoming plans. Obviously PlayStation Now never did launch on any other platform aside from PlayStation and PC, but it has been suggested that Sony ultimately decided that this wasn’t something they wanted to compete with Apple.

It would also be a good way to cater to die hard PlayStation fans to encourage them to buy Sony’s consoles in order to access the service.

That being said, given Apple’s massive hoops that companies would have to jump through in order to launch streaming apps onto its platform, it makes sense. More recently, we have also heard about Microsoft had tried to convince Apple to allow its streaming services on the App Store by offering up Xbox exclusive titles, but that ultimately never came to pass.

“My dog came back from daycare with a cold and this is the strongest evidence yet that he is in fact a child”

It looks like Oppo is getting into the foldables game. The company published a blog post in which they announced their first foldable phone ahead of the INNO Day event. The post doesn’t really tell us much except to tease a side profile of the phone and to talk about the company’s plans and motivations behind the device.

The handset is expected to be called the Oppo Find N and according to the company, development actually started back in 2018. “As early as April 2018, the first generation of the Find N prototype was born internally. Although a handful of other brands have already introduced foldable devices to the market, barriers such as utility, durability and user experience continue to prevent foldable devices from becoming a more feasible daily driver for most people.”

For those who can’t wait until next week, which is when INNO Day is expected to kick off, leakster Evan Blass shared a ton of new renders of the upcoming handset, which you can see in the tweet above. For the most part it looks like a typical foldable phone, although it looks like it might have a slightly wider front display.

This is versus the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 whose front display is kind of “thin”, whereas the Find N’s display looks more like your standard phone. We’re judging this based on the renders so in real-life, it might be different. Either way, we’ll have more details next week so check back with us on the 15th of December for more updates.
