Sony’s forthcoming Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to undergo slight alterations in dimensions compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V, as per recent leaks. The rumored removal of the 4K display in favor of a 19.5:9 aspect ratio would result in a shift in the phone’s measurements.

The purported dimensions for the Xperia 1 VI are 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm, making it 3mm shorter and slightly wider than the Xperia 1 V, which measures 165 x 71 x 8.3mm.

Despite the reduction in vertical space, Sony is speculated to retain its traditional design with top and bottom bezels. This decision ensures the preservation of features like stereo speakers and a front-facing camera housed within the bezel rather than integrated into the screen.

Regarding the display, leaked information suggests a screen size of 149.6 x 69.4mm, resulting in a 19.4:9 aspect ratio and a 6.49-inch diagonal measurement.

The Xperia 1 VI is projected to be officially unveiled in May. Prior leaks hint at potential variations in RAM configurations, with options for 12GB and 16GB.

Additionally, there are mentions of other models like the Xperia 5 VI with 8GB of RAM and the Xperia 10 VI with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, although it remains uncertain whether these models will also debut alongside the Xperia 1 VI in May.

When the Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed in the early morning hours of Tuesday, there was almost immediately chatter on social media about potential conspiracy theories. In reality, the bridge collapsed because a container ship lost power and crashed into a column, causing it to tumble into the river below. But many…

It never blocked competitors’ apps and services, and it doesn’t employ anticompetitive tactics preventing users from breaking out of its “walled garden,” Apple said in response to the antitrust lawsuit filed against it by the Department of Justice. The company refuted the agency’s claims in statements shared with Apple Insider, expanding upon its earlier response that the lawsuit would hinder its ability to create devices and software that made it one of the most valuable companies in the world. 

The DOJ accused Apple of illegally monopolizing the software app market by imposing limitations on iOS that degrade the compatibility of innovative apps and cloud streaming services with the mobile platform. But the company claimed it only selectively restricts the APIs app developers have access to in order to protect user privacy and security. It gave the same reason for why it implements limitations for third-party digital wallets. The company also said that it never blocked “super apps” from its platforms, pointing out that Facebook, WeChat and Line are available for iOS users. Game streaming services, it clarified, have always been welcome in the App Store, as well.

In response to the accusation that it is anticompetitive for the Apple Watch to be capable of deeper integration with the iPhone compared to rival wearables’, the company explained that offering wide support for all smartwatches means having to develop products with every OS and model in mind. Most importantly, Apple denied that it’s making it difficult for users to switch to competing products, whether it’s because of iMessage’s lack of interoperability with Android or any other reason. Users can easily transfer data from iPhone to Android devices, it reportedly said while suggesting that people may not be switching to its competitors because they simply love its products. 

Apple previously said that the lawsuit, if successful, would “set a dangerous precedent, empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology.” It vowed to “vigorously defend against it.” US Attorney General Merrick Garland wrote in a press release, however, that “Apple undermines apps, products, and services that would otherwise make users less reliant on the iPhone” and that it’s “discouraging innovation” that threatens its monopoly by stifling innovation.

Apple’s 35th annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is June 10 to 14. WWDC is typically a software-centric event, so it’s highly likely we’ll get our first look at iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, macOS 15 and watchOS 11. It may also be a good chance for Apple to upgrade its visionOS software for Vision Pro.

There may be hardware too. Last year’s WWDC included a detailed presentation on the Vision Pro and the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air. This year? Another Vision Pro? A Mac Mini? Place your bets.

PS5’s Game Help feature will source videos from other players

It was pretty useless.

Game Help shared developer-created tips and videos for PS5 games, bubbling up advice depending on where you were in a game. Unfortunately, in my experience, it was rarely useful advice. That might improve soon, as Sony adds videos from other gamers for those tricky bosses and segments. Community tips will be accessible in the same way as Game Help: click the PS button, launch the Control Center and find an Action Card labeled Hints Inside. Any card with gamer videos will have a Community Game Help label and players will be able to rate tips’ usefulness.

Microsoft is bringing together its Windows experiences and devices teams into one division. Pavan Davuluri, who’s been head of the Surface team since last year, will now also lead Windows experiences after Mikhail Parakhin’s departure. Perhaps interestingly, Parakhin vacated his role a week after Microsoft hired DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, who apparently asked Parakhin to report to him directly.

This camera captures 156.3 trillion frames per second

Super super super super slow mo.

Scientists have created a scientific camera that shoots images at an encoding rate of 156.3 terahertz (THz) to individual pixels — equivalent to 156.3 trillion frames per second. Dubbed SCARF (swept-coded aperture real-time femtophotography), the research-grade camera could lead to breakthroughs in fields studying micro-events impossible to capture on existing scientific imaging equipment. SCARF could open new frontiers in areas as diverse as shock wave mechanics or the development of more effective medicine.
