It appears that images of the Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 cover has surfaced on Twitter. While it is in Japanese, we do get to see some valuable information, including the install size for the PlayStation 4 version of the game.
From the tweet which you can view at the top of this post, the PS4 version will require 40 GBs of storage space on the console. In comparison to the Xbox One version which needs 35.76 GBs of storage space, it’s almost 5GBs of difference right there.

While no one knows for sure why there’s a somewhat noticeable difference in the Kingdom Hearts 3 install size for both versions, the game is expected to play the same on both platforms. There should not be any exclusive plot-related content that is exclusive to just one platform.
It’s also worth noting that the 40 GBs mentioned for it may just be a safe indication as to how much free space you should have at least, and the final count could actually be essentially the same.
Kingdom Hearts 3 will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 29th January 2019. Japan will be getting the game a few days earlier, on 25th January 2019 instead.
Pokdepinion: We’re essentially a month away from the game’s release and I cannot be anymore excited than I am now. I’m just hoping there would not be any sudden delays or anything like that.

Facebook Recently Got Hacked – Almost 50 Million Users Affected

Facebook Recently Got Hacked

You’d think the world’s biggest social media platform would be a tough cookie to break. When you think about it however, anything made by a person can also be undone by another person, and this was the case for Facebook which recently got hacked.
According to Business Insider, Facebook disclosed that hackers took advantage of an exploit via a security issue to attack its systems, which resulted in almost 50 million accounts being affected by it.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The security flaw was apparently discovered on Tuesday, and it allowed these hackers to take over user accounts on Facebook as if it’s their own.
Vice President of Product Management for Facebook, Guy Rosen, said:
Our investigation is still in its early stages. But it’s clear that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted ‘View As’, a feature that lets people see what their own profile looks like to someone else. This allowed them to steal Access Tokens which they could then use to take over people’s accounts.
For those of you who aren’t aware, Access Tokens are the essentially digital keys that keep people logged in to Facebook without the need to re-enter their password everytime they use the social media platform.
At the moment, they are unaware of who is behind the attack. As a result of this fiasco, their stock has dropped by 3%. Facebook will be holding a press call with the media on this so we’re expecting to hear more about this issue very soon.

Pokdepinion: Well, this is certainly scary. It seems fine on my end but what about you guys? Noticed anything funny happening?

One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 Kaido Gameplay Revealed

At Jump Festa 2020 recently, the folks over at Bandai Namco revealed some new gameplay footage for One Piece Pirate Warriors 4. The first part of the gameplay shows the Dramatic Log mode, where we see reenactments of iconic moments in the series.
We caught a glimpse of Luffy and the Strawhat Crew rescuing Nico Robin at Enies Lobby. The biggest highlight is the second part, where we see one of the four Yonkos, Beast King Kaido, in action. In case you didn’t know, he, along with fellow Yonko Big Mom, are playable characters.
Apart from that, Bandai Namco also released character-specific trailers for Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, and Nami. The trailers also show the characters in alternate costumes. The gameplay will see characters divided into three categories; Power, Speed, and Technique.

For the story mode, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 will adapt the Whole Cake Island arc as well as the Wano Country arc. As the latter arc is still ongoing however, it will have its own original ending instead of following the manga. Check out the gameplay footage at the top of this post.
One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on 27th March 2020.
Pokdepinion: I was always very curious as to how the Yonko will perform in battle. They’re monstrously strong, but whether it can be translated well enough into a game is a different matter.

GIGABYTE’s AORUS Gaming Box External GPU Now Comes In RTX 4090 Flavor

The 5.1kg worth of sheer metal and performance in the form of AORUS RTX 4090 Gaming Box makes its entrance as the fourth iteration of this unique product line. This liquid-cooled external GPU packs a 240mm radiator with two 120mm fans taking care of the airflow, cooling the massive AD102 chip as well as VRAM/MOSFET components.
The company says it “minimized the size” of the box, though the dimensions measuring 189 x 302 x 172 mm is still somewhat larger than the outgoing RTX 3080 Gaming Box model. Granted, dealing with extra 130 watts of heat of an already power hungry GPU eventually will require more space for cooling as well as a bigger integrated PSU – which the new model now uses a rather overkill 850W unit than the 550W used in the previous model.

The I/O includes Thunderbolt 3 which should support most laptops with such ports (including Thunderbolt 4), as well as three USB-A ports (5Gbps), with a LAN port and the usual video outputs like its regular counterpart. While no pricing is known so far – don’t expect this unit to come cheap.
Pokdepinion: 5.1kg for a GPU+PSU combo is… something else.

Moto G4 Plus’ camera on par with Nexus 6P’s — according to DxOMark

The Moto G series has always been a great value offering, where it is available anyway. It is quite rare to find a Moto smartphone here in Malaysia even after the company has been acquired by Lenovo. However I believe smartphone enthusiasts will be pleased with this little piece of news.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The 16 MP 1/2.4-type sensor by OmniVision in the latest Moto G4 Plus has received a score of 84, which means it is on a similar level with the iPhone 6s Plus and my personal favorite smartphone to date, the Nexus 6P.
Image courtesy of DxOMark
DxOMark has this to say about the camera on the Moto G4 Plus:

Very good detail preservation in bright light.
Fast and accurate autofocus in all lighting conditions.
Good noise reduction in bright light.
In most outdoor scenes, colors are vivid and pleasant.
In low-light and indoor conditions, the white balance is good.

For a phone that costs $200 (RM810.25), what do you think? A smartphone that costs less than RM1000 matching cameras in smartphones that costs on the upper end of RM2000? Before you say anything, the Moto G4 Plus’ other specifications aren’t disappointing either, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617, 2GB of RAM, 5.5″ Full HD IPS display and a 3000 mAh battery with Turbo Charge technology.

Pokdepinion: I am really interested to see the Moto G4 Plus for myself. With such an amazing camera and an affordable price, it really will change the playing field. Better photos on Instagram, here we come!

HONOR Magic V arrives as HONOR’s first foldable flagship for less than RM6600

HONOR has been making huge steps forward in the smartphone industry since becoming an independent company, and their latest entry is a foldable flagship. The HONOR Magic V marks HONOR’s first foldable smartphone, and features various cutting edge features and the most powerful chipset they can get their hands on to deliver the best user experience possible.
HONOR Magic V: usable when open and also when folded

HONOR went with a 21:9 aspect ratio for its 6.45″ curved OLED external display, that feels a lot more like a traditional smartphone. Versus the competition which opted for an external display that are overly long and narrow, which can be extremely unwieldy when you need to reach UI elements in the top corners of the display. When you unfold the device, you get a 90Hz 7.9″ display that offers more screen space for you to take advantage of.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.
A lot of comparisons were made against the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, but one of the main ones that caught my eye was that HONOR managed to literally close the gap when the device the folded. Instead of the unsightly wedge like look of the Galaxy Z Fold3, the HONOR Magic V closes neatly with both halves flush against each other. HONOR achieved this with a “floating waterdrop hinge” that provides room for the screen to be tucked away neatly when the device is folded, and to push the display upwards to reduce the appearance of a hinge when it is unfolded.

Both displays of the HONOR Magic V is capable of displaying 100% of the DCI-P3  gamut, with support for 1.07 billion colors. It is also the first foldable smartphone to receive the IMAX Enhanced certification, promising an immersive movie experience unlike what any other foldable can deliver. Last but not least, the device is crafted from titanium, zirconium liquid metals and carbon fiber, which provides for a lightweight yet strong build.

Under the hood, you have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mated to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. Keeping the lights on is a 4750mAh battery, with support for 66W fast charging. For imaging, you have 42MP selfie cameras both on the outer display as well as the folded one, as well as a triple 50MP camera setup on the back, comprising of a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide shooter and a 50MP color spectrum camera.
HONOR Magic V Specs and Price in China

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, octa-core up to 3GHz, 4nm
12GB RAM
Up to 512GB storage
6.45″ FHD+ 120Hz OLED display + 7.9″ 2272 x 1984 (10:9) 90Hz OLED display
2 x 42MP selfie camera (1 x in external display + 1 x in folded display)
50MP f/1.9 main camera + 50MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera + 50MP f/2.0 super spectrum camera + ToF sensor
4750mAh battery, 66W fast charging
12GB + 256GB: 9999 CNY (~RM6588)
12GB + 512GB: 10999 CNY (~RM7245)

The HONOR Magic V will be available in China starting 18th January, with HONOR reportedly still considering whether to offer in markets outside of China. You get a choice of Titanium Silver, Black and Burnt Orange.
Pokdepinion: I just want to appreciate the fact that HONOR waited for foldable display tech to be more mature before making their very first one, instead of making half baked ones and trying to sell them.

NVIDIA to release GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to counter Vega — history repeats itself

Two year back, we saw NVIDIA preemptively take a bite out of AMD’s HBM-packing cards, the R9 Fury series with the GeForce 980 Ti based on the GM200 silicon. This year, the green team is prepping the #UltimateGeForce for launch, which is the exact same day AMD will finally reveal their AMD Vega cards. We have already seen rumors of a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in the pipeline, and with it being announced on the same day AMD is going to reveal more details about their Vega cards, NVIDIA sure is looking to draw some limelight away from AMD’s latest card.

NVIDIA is not shy to let us know that the upcoming card will bear the Ti moniker. Just look at the letters “T” & “I” in bold. We saw the GeForce 980 Ti trade punches with the Radeon R9 Fury X, and we might just see more of the same this year. It will most probably pack a cut-down GP102 GPU and GDDR5X memory used in the Titan X (Pascal) this year. Meanwhile, the AMD Vega cards are slated to bring unprecedented memory bandwidth by packing HBM2. AMD is the first to bring HBM2 to desktop gaming cards, as NVIDIA has only used HBM2 in their Tesla P100 GPU accelerators.

Depending on your allegiance, both the red and green camp should deliver some excitement this 28th February. Are you ready for the spicy AMD Vega, or are you looking forward to the Ultimate GeForce?
Pokdepinion: I believe that this means that NVIDIA is filling a gap in its lineup which AMD has targeted with their Vega cards. This also suggests that AMD will have a card faster than the GTX 1080. Priced right, I see them flying off the shelves, which is why NVIDIA decided that they have to do something about it, and thus, we will see the GTX 1080 Ti.

AMD Malaysia shared information that the upcoming AMD Radeon Navi cards will be priced as the following in Malaysia:

AMD Radeon RX 5700: RM1659
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT: RM1859

The price points are pretty interesting, however those are for the regular blower style cards. If you want to get a better cooled AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Radeon RX 5700 XT, expect to pay a bit more.
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Specs

Navi 10 XT @ up to 1905 MHz, 7nm FinFET
40 CU, 2560 stream processors
8GB GDDR6 @ 14 Gbps, 256-bit memory interface
225W TDP
8 pin + 6 pin power connectors
RM1859 ($399)

RM1659 ($349)

What do you think of the Radeon RX 5700 series pricing here in Malaysia? Let us know!

Commandos Carbine 4 Plus Gaming Laptop Review

Unboxing the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus

You may receive some extras when you purchase it yourself but for the review unit, this is what we get inside the box of the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus gaming laptop.

Power cable150W Power BrickThe Commandos Carbine 4 Plus gaming laptop itself
Appearance

The Commandos Carbine 4 Plus is a compact gaming laptop that’s actually lighter than it looks. The body is made mostly out of plastic, but the lid has a carbon fibre look going on. You also have the ArmoryX logo in metallic silver as well as two slits where you get some coloured lights when it’s powered on.

Open up the lid and you’ll be greeted with a 15.6-inch 60Hz Full HD IPS display. You also have a traditional full-sized laptop keyboard with a Numpad, albeit slightly cramped, and a trackpad below it. The power button stealthily sits above the ‘Home’ and ‘End’ keys, blending in with the rest of the laptop. The LED will glow white when it’s powered on.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The lid opens roughly 113°. The keyboard does have RGB lighting, but only single zone.

On the left side, you have a Kensington Lock, an air vent, two USB-A ports, a microphone jack, and a headphone jack. On the right side, you have a USB-A port, a Mini DisplayPort, a full-sized SD card reader, and an air vent. On the back, you have a USB-C port, an HDMI port, an RJ45 LAN port, and the proprietary charging port.

On the bottom, you have four rubber stands, some stickers with fine details listed, and slits for air ventilation as well as speakers. There are about 12 screws that you can find here.
Overall, the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus looks pretty good. It opted for a stealthier look without making it look boring. It’s a little bit thick but it is surprisingly light, which is great. Would be nice if they opted for a material other than plastic for the body and more lighting zones on the keyboard but that might make it pricier.
Specifications
For our review unit, it uses a 512GB Phison SATA SSD. It’s worth noting that it can differ between Phison, Kingston, Patriot, and Western Digital. Customers can also topup a bit of money and opt for a speedier PCIe SSD instead.

Performance

Starting off with CrystalDiskMark, the results show essentially the average speed you get from a SATA SSD. The Commandos Carbine 4 Plus gaming laptop is using a 512GB Phison SATA SSD, in case anyone is wondering.

In Cinebench R15 against similar gaming laptops, the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus with its Intel Core i5-9300H performed well enough. While it looks like it got noticeably outclassed by 3 laptops, keep in mind that those are powered by Intel Core i7 CPUs.

It gets more interesting in the Unigine SuperPosition benchmark. The Commandos Carbine 4 Plus managed to achieve a score that is close to gaming laptops running an Intel Core i7 CPU and RTX 2060 GPU.

In 3DMark Time Spy, the difference widens up but it’s not by a big margin. Essentially, it can perform pretty well on its own already with its Intel Core i5-9300H and GTX 1660 Ti.

As for gaming, I was impressed. While all the games ran in Full HD, the settings were cranked up to the highest possible options. It performed admirably, even with some of the most intensive PC games available today. For a much smoother experience in those games, you just have to dial down the settings a little bit.
What’s more impressive is that there’s no thermal throttling and the temperatures are pretty good. CPU barely passes 80°C and GPU ran much cooler than that. While the fans did start to spin harder, it’s one of the more quieter cooling fans in a gaming laptop that we’ve tested thus far.
Battery life isn’t great but that’s not a surprise for a gaming laptop. I usually get about 3 hours with regular use which involves word processing, web browsing, light Photoshop, and some YouTube via Google Chrome. In case anyone is wondering, it’s using a 48.96 Whr battery.
User Experience

The Commandos Carbine 4 Plus isn’t meant to be the most powerful gaming laptop around. Instead, it’s one of the more accessible machines around. It’s powered by the 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Running temperatures are great and the fans are at acceptable noise levels even at maximum speed.
By default, it comes with a single stick 8GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM but there is a promo going on which will add another stick for free. Storage-wise, it uses a 512GB Phison SATA SSD, which may not be the speediest one around but it’s enough for most gamers and the storage capacity is more worth it. Would be great if it includes a 1TB HDD by default.

For a compact gaming laptop, the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus is a little bit on thicker side but to my surprise, it’s really light. While not in the same level as an ultrabook, you can still easily hold it up with one hand.

The 15.6-inch IPS display on the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus gaming laptop works well enough for gaming with minimal delay. Colours are good for gaming but not so much for creative work, slim bezels make it more pleasing to the eyes, and viewing angles are decent. It’s worth noting that the refresh rate is 60Hz and there’s no particular adaptive sync technology. Given the specifications, Full HD is perfect here.

There’s a decent array of ports on the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus. You have three USB-A ports, a USB-C port, mDP, HDMI port, RJ45 LAN port, an SD card reader, and separate jacks for headphone and microphone. I do like the fact that the display connectors and charging port is located at the back, allowing for easier cable management and a cleaner setup.

The keyboard on the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus is decent. It’s comfortable to type on and works good for gaming. Noise is barely audible, which is a plus. The trackpad works just like any other laptop trackpad so nothing to shout out about here. Would be great if it had more RGB lighting zones here instead of just a single zone lighting.

Given the customized nature of ArmoryX laptops, you might think that this doesn’t have a software to customize the machine. It actually does and it’s Control Center 3.0 by CLEVO. It allows you to change power modes, add macro keys, customize the RGB lighting, and adjust the fan speed.

While the UI itself is simple and easy to use, it’s primitive in comparison to other software like ROG Armoury Crate and Acer PredatorSense. It doesn’t show detailed statistics such as CPU Usage, and your options are limited. It’s essentially a barebones utility software with no expandability.

On the sound department, it was surprisingly good for a laptop of this caliber. It’s loud, has decent amount of depth, and the audio being directed to you makes it sound more wholesome especially for gaming. You can do some fine-tuning using the Sound Blaster Connect software, where you can tailor your experience accordingly for speakers and headphones. Using a good headset may be better, but at least the speakers are good enough.
Commandos Carbine 4 Plus Verdict

ArmoryX is known for gaming laptops that can scale accordingly with users with its customized specifications. The Commandos Carbine 4 Plus isn’t as customizable but you can get the specifications that works with your budget, and it’s worth the price. It looks good and it works great.
However, it’s not the perfect gaming laptop as it does have its quirks. The chassis could use an upgrade, the RGB keyboard lighting is only single zone, and the display is only 60Hz. If it was at least 120Hz, I think it would be more viable for plenty of gamers out there.
Starting from RM3,899 with a free upgrade to 16GB DDR4 RAM (8GB x 2), it’s still a good value-for-money purchase. With that, I award the Commandos Carbine 4 Plus with our Silver Pokdeward.

Big thanks to ArmoryX for providing us with this laptop for review. If you want to know more or are interested in getting one, click right here.

Splinter Cell Set For A Comeback As Teased By Ubisoft

It’s been awhile since we saw a new Splinter Cell game, with the last being 2013’s Blacklist. Now it seems that Ubisoft is preparing to release a new title from the series according to them.
In a recent interview, Yves Guillemot, the CEO of Ubisoft has talked about the future of the franchise and assured fans that it has a special place in his heart as well as regarding it as an important franchise for the company.
It looks like Ubisoft is waiting for the right time to bring the stealth series back. According to Guillemot, Ubisoft is still working out on what the future looks like. In addition to that, he has hinted that the series may return on devices the franchise isn’t known for. That might sound interesting but at the moment, it’s hard to figure out what he actually means by that.

With such details, don’t expect an early release of a Splinter Cell title just yet. Rest assured, once more information on it comes out, we’ll be here to cover it at Pokde.net. Until then, stay tuned.
Pokdepinion: Okay, Splinter Cell is definitely a franchise that I’m willing to spend my money on.

Ubisoft Shuts Down Hyper Scape After Just 2 Years

Hyper Scape was released back in 2020 from Ubisoft to compete against the likes of COD Warzone and Apex Legends. That being said, it appears that the company is pulling the plug for the game now.
Hyper Scape shutting down

The news was revealed over at Twitter where the official account posted on the matter of their decision to put the game to bed.

A message regarding the future of Hyper Scape: https://t.co/IUhzJsSm9I pic.twitter.com/8HplpcqdCY
— Hyper Scape (@HyperScapeGame) January 27, 2022

They’ve said “We have made the difficult decision to end development of Hyper Scape and shut the game down as of April 28th. We set out to create a vertical, close-quarters, and fast-paced shooter experience and we are extremely grateful to our community for joining us on our journey. We will be taking key learnings from this game into future products”.
While they didn’t reveal the exact reason of the shutdown, it’s most likely due to the lack of player base for the game. Should you be interested in playing the game, you might want to act quickly before they close it down. Hyper Scape is a free-to-play title that’s available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

HUAWEI Nova

Here are some of the info that we’ve gathered so far. The smartphone will be the first HUAWEI smartphone to have a 20MP front camera. It will also pack a dual-camera technology.

Expect the phone to take pictures and perform in low light settings. Smart gestures include a raise hand motion and a 2-second countdown for a handy selfie experience. Also count on the phone to have 3D facial recognition with vivid colours and relighting effect.
The camera will include Beauty 4.0 with automatic gender recognition and Bokeh effect selfie with facial detection with real time preview.
Pokdepinion: It will be interesting how it will fare against other selfie-focused smartphones that are already out there in the market. I guess we would have to wait for it to come out first.

ASUS Zenfone AR Unboxing; Probably the most innovative unboxing we have ever seen!

We have the ASUS Zenfone AR in our labs and we were so astonished by the unboxing experience, we HAD to make a video of it. The ASUS Zenfone AR box lid converts into a VR viewer, probably the most innovative thing in an unboxing we have seen in some time. There are TWO variants of the ASUS Zenfone AR boxes, one being the standard package and the other being the exclusive package. The standard package is what we will get in Malaysia, while the exclusive one, we will not.

[E3 2019] Rainbow Six Quarantine Mixes Co-Op Shooter With a Bit of Horror

If you’ve been wanting a new Rainbow Six game, then this is going to be something you’ll be happy about. At the Ubisoft E3 2019 press conference, they’ve officially announced Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine, a three-player co-op shooter inspired by the Outbreak mode in Rainbow Six Siege.
Ever since Outbreak made its mark on Siege back in February 2018, players have been calling for more out-of-the-box game modes, and it seems that Ubisoft has decided to embark on this feedback but in the form of a brand new title rather than an update to the game.  You can sign up for the beta by clicking right here.
The game “is a squad-based tactical shooter for 3 players at a time”, according to the publisher. It is developed by a team inside Ubisoft that is separate to the existing Siege team, but the links between this game and its predecessor are down to core mechanics, gun play, tactics, destruction. However, Ubisoft says that you don’t have to have played any other games to get into Quarantine.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

This is a rather interesting move given that Ubisoft mentioned that there will be no Rainbow Six sequels. Guess spin-off games didn’t count. More details about the game will be revealed later in the year.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in Early 2020.
Pokdepinion: This looks pretty fun to play with friends. Though I can sense me and my friends just screwing around rather than play the game properly. Oh well, it’s a way of having fun, I suppose.

Facebook Updates On Questions – What Really Happens When You Logout From Facebook?

Last week, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and founder of Facebook testified in front of the US Congress which was broadcasted live all over the web. He answered more than 500 questions though he couldn’t answer some of them at the time. Here’s some of the answers to the questions that were left hanging.
What happens when you logout?

In regards to the questions, here is what they have got to say on the topic.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

When does Facebook get data about people from other websites and apps?
Many websites and apps use Facebook services to make their content and ads more engaging and relevant. These services include:

Social plugins – such as Facebook’s Like and Share buttons, which make other sites more social and help you share content on Facebook.
Facebook Login – lets you use your Facebook account to log into another website or app
Facebook Analytics – which helps websites and apps better understand how people user their services
Facebook ads and measurement tools – enable websites and apps to show ads from Facebook advertisers, to run their own ads on Facebook or elsewhere, and to know how effective their ads are.

So that means, if you visit a site or app that uses Facebook’s services, they will still receive information, even if you are not logged in to your account or don’t even have a Facebook account. To be fair, other apps and websites such as Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn also adopt the same method in term of Like and Share buttons.
What kind of data does Facebook get from these websites and apps?
When you visit a website, your browser sends a request to the site’s server. The browser shares your IP address so the website knows where on the internet to send the site content. It also gets information on your browser and operating system. Additionally, cookies is also attained, which acts as identifiers that websites use to know if you’ve visited the site previously.
A website sends two things back to your browser, content from that site and instruction for the browser to send  your request to the other companies providing content or services on the site. When a website uses one of Facebook’s services, your browser sends the same kind of information to Facebook as the website (that you’re on) receives.
Again, this can be found in other sites as well. For instance Youtube. When you see a Youtube video on a site that’s not Youtube, it tells your browser to request the video from Youtube, then it would send it to you.
How does Facebook use the data it receives from other websites and apps?
There are three main ways Facebook uses those information. Providing their services to these sites or apps, enhancing safety and security on Facebook, as well as enhancing Facebook’s own products and services.
They have released additional information on the matter, you can check it out right here. To wrap things up, they have quoted “We don’t sell people’s data. Period”.
Pokdepinion: Most of the things that they’ve mentioned are quite commonly known. What do you think? Does this response explains the issue any further?

Corsair Vengeance 1400 Gaming Headset Review

Another new toys added to my Corsair Gaming Set , now my Corsair Gaming peripheral set is completed . Corsair Vengeance 1400 Analog Gaming Headset

Nothing fancy about the packaging just a simple box with the headset specs and a clear window that you can see the headset itself . The design of Corsair 1400 is same with Corsair 1300 except the earcup of 1400 is using some sort of velvet material instead of synthetic leather that will worn out .

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

For specifications you can visit Corsair website Corsair Vengeance 1400
Specifications

Headphones

Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Impedance: 32 Ohms @ 1kHz
Dynamic Range: 95dB (A-weighted)
Drivers: 50mm
Cable Length: 3m
Connector: 3.5mm male

Microphone

Type: Unidirectional noise-cancelling condenser with adjustable, rotating boom
Impedance: 2.2k Ohms
Frequency Response: 100Hz to 10kHz
Sensitivity: -41dB (+/-3dB)
Connector: 3.5mm male

System requirements

Any Computer with 3.5mm (1/8”) connectors for audio output and microphone input

COMFORT LEVEL And DESIGN

Lightweight
nice clamping force
adjustable headband
velvet earcup cover

Corsair Vengeance 1400 is very comfortable for me , it feel lightweight and the earcup clamping is just fine , the headband is adjustable to suite your head size .
Corsair Vengeance 1400 earcup is using some sort of velvet material instead of the usual synthetic leather on most headset in the market , for those who have a sweaty ear when gaming for a long period this is the absolute solution for those who want their headset earcup stay in good condition for a long time , usually synthetic leather will worn out after a year , and by that time the headset will lose its capability of noise cancelling .
Cosair Vengeance 1400 using velvet material for the earcup is very comfortable and it allow your skin around the ear to breathe and you will not feel hot as synthetic leather earcup when using for a long period of gaming . * you might have to deal with dust on the earcup* just use a soft brush to brush off the dust
Overall quality and design for Corsair Vengeance 1400 is nice feel solid , close back design , 3meter braided cable and in-line volume control and mic mute button.
TESTING METHODOLOGY

For now i do not have any soundcard with me so i just test the headset using onboard sound of ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE GEN 3 . Im looking for a good pair of headset that is good for gaming and music “with” microphone , so i bought Corsair Vengeance 1400 during Black Friday Promotion RM215
MUSIC
there is a saying that audio product that advertise as gaming headset is not good for music , im no audio expert but from my experience with Corsair Vengeance 1400 sound is acceptable for music , the bass is boosted but not to punchy , clarity is okay but it sound just a “little” muff because of the bass , but this can be eliminate with equalizer and with good Sound Card . So far for music i say its acceptable not to good and not bad ,
i try to compare this headset sound with my Superlux HD688b , clearly for music i would go for superlux , “but” after some tweaking using the equalizer i say my Corsair Vengeance 1400 sound a bit like my superlux HD688b but with more bass
here are the setting that i set in my equalizer

GAMES
For games i think quite good , despite Corsair 1400 is a analog 2.1 headset the surround sound in game is “acceptable” but not good as 5.1 surround or virtual 7.1 surround sound . the sound clarity when gaming with these headset is good , explosion sound , helicopter flying over and footstep in battlefield 3 and battlefield 4 can be hear and pinpoint where it come from but *take note* if you already used to 5.1 or 7.1 virtual sound you will notice there will be a sound cut when something is moving going left to right vice versa , but this can be eliminate with a good sound card that process a good quality of 7.1 virtual sound .
Microphone Test

for the first test i boost my mic to 30dB with noise suppresion off and echo cancellation off in ASUS realtek audio manger

second test 30dB with noise suppression turn on

third test 30dB noise suppression on and echo cancellation on

Communication is very important when playing games that need teamworks , so Corsair Vengeance 1400 mic quality is really good , but i have to turn noise cancellation via ASUS onboard audio manager to filter the noise that you can hear from mic test 1 , if your audio manager does not have noise cancellation feature mostly VOIP software like Skype,TS3,Mumble or Razercoms have their own noise cancellation feature that will be helpful .

Conclusion
Corsair Vengeance 1400 Analog Gaming Headset you cannot go wrong with these headset if you looking for a decent 2.1 analog gaming headset with good microphone .

[TGS 2018] Newest Devil May Cry 5 Trailer Shows Off More Dante Gameplay Footage

With Tokyo Game Show 2018 starting today, Capcom has released a TGS 2018 trailer for Devil May Cry 5 focusing on Dante and some adrenaline-pumping action.
Newest Devil May Cry 5 Trailer Shows Off More Dante Gameplay Footage

It’s the first day of Tokyo Game Show 2018 and what better way to talk about it than to start with Devil May Cry 5. Capcom released a trailer for the game which is more focused on the protagonist of the series itself, Dante.
Just like the trailer we saw in Gamescom, it begins with a phone ringing but this time around, Dante is the one who answers. After this brief opening, the trailer launches into a slew of vicious gameplay centered around Dante. There’s a lot of shooting, slashing, motorcycle flailing, and demon deaths in this new video and it sure gets your adrenaline pumping.

In addition to this lengthy look at new gameplay, there’s also a few new cutscenes to be seen from Devil May Cry 5 in this trailer as well. We get to see a few interactions between Nero and Dante in addition to seeing both Trish and Lady making their return.
Perhaps most interesting of all though is the new character V, who appears at the trailer’s end. V is said to be a client of Devil May Cry but that’s all there is to know right now. Capcom promises more information on V will arrive in the coming months. Be sure to check out the trailer at the top of this post.
Devil May Cry 5 will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on 8th March 2019.
Pokdepinion: Getting more excited about the game the more I see it. Also, I sense plenty of challenge runs coming.

Intel Core i9-13900 With 3.8GHz Boost Clock Allegedly Leaked
Picture credits: Videocardz

The 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs, codenamed Alder Lake, is still fresh in the market but now, we have some alleged details on a 13th Gen one, specifically the Intel Core i9-13900. This was found online on the Chinese website Expreview and seen circulating on Twitter.
The Intel Core i9-13900 isn’t expected to be the best CPU offering from the blue camp, but it certainly is a powerful one. It allegedly comes with 24 cores consisting of 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores with a total of 32 threads. It’s a non-K model, which may explain its 65W TDP, which is very low for an Intel Core i9 CPU since the Intel Core i9-12900KS has a 150W TDP requirement. Another point worth mentioning is the 3.8GHz boost clock, which is surprisingly low when most would expect it to go past 5GHz.
From what we know thus far, Intel has confirmed that the 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPU will support Efficient Thermal Velocity Boost and per-core / package TVB overclocking. With that being said, it’s unknown whether the non-K variants will support the aforementioned features. It’s likely to retain the Intel 7 process node still, just like Alder Lake.

For now, do take this information with a grain of salt. We will report more on this as soon as information becomes available so stay tuned.

Pokdepinion: Even if this is true, I would still not take it as gospel as there is still plenty of time to change for the final product.

Tales of Arise Will Be Same Length As Berseria – Minor Ending Spoiler Revealed

Recently, there was a Tales of Arise Q&A session where plenty of details on the upcoming game was revealed. If you’re excited for the game, then this would definitely be something you shouldn’t miss.
Tales of Arise Will Be Same Length As Berseria

When asked about the length of Tales of Arise, game producer Yusuke Tomizawa mentioned that it will be around the same length as Tales of Berseria, although it will still be dependent on how you play the game. There will still be plenty of side content and replayability value for those who enjoy second playthroughs.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

This is particularly reassuring as Tales of Berseria has a good length for a JRPG with an adequate amount of side quests for gamers to enjoy. Given the delays, people were worried we may end up with a barebones Tales of JRPG but that is certainly not the case here.
As for whether there will be any story DLC expansions, sequels, or prequels, Yusuke Tomizawa reassured fans that the story will wrap up within the same game itself. While there will be DLC content for the game such as with the Limited Edition version of the game, all of the story will be in the base game and it will be a standalone game.
There will also be no links to other games with the exception of a crossover with mobile games. Even so, you will still be getting the full experience by playing Tales of Arise on its own.
[MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD]
Given how dark the game’s story is in general, as the protagonists are fighting against slavery and discrimination, a fan asked whether the ending of Tales of Arise will be a happy one or not. Yusuke Tomizawa answered by stating that they don’t want to spoil the game. However, it will leave you with a “good aftertaste” once completed, but how you reach and how it “tastes”, you will have to find out yourself.
Tales of Arise will be coming to the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC on 9th September 2021.

Pokdepinion: I’ve been on the fence since Zestiria, although Berseria admittedly helped the franchise redeem itself. I really hope this one will have an enthralling storyline worthy of a mainline entry.

Why the rumored i5 7640K with HyperThreading is ridiculous

If you are anything like me, you would have noted that there are many rumors of Intel shaking in their boots and are preparing two new CPUs to stave off the imminent onslaught of AMD Ryzen CPUs. Well, I think the Core i7 7740K might be real, as Intel has indeed launched updated versions of their CPUs with an extra 100 MHz tacked on i.e. the Haswell Refresh lineup. But the i5 7640K? Most probably not. Here’s why.
A lot of rumors point towards the new i5 7640K sporting HyperThreading, for a four core eight thread (4C8T) configuration. This is by far the furthest possibility for Intel. HyperThreading has always been the biggest advantage that the Core i7 series had over the Core i5 series, and adding HyperThreading to the Core i5 series would diminish the main differentiating factor between the two series. Now if you are going to talk about the 2MB difference between the L3 caches on the Core i5 (6MB) and Core i7 (8MB), I would tell you that you would barely, if at all, notice the difference in gaming and most of the usual workloads. Intel won’t be hurting AMD’s sales with the i5 7640K, they will just affect their own Core i7 CPU sales.
The top-spec AMD Ryzen parts has also been shown that it trade punches clock-for-clock against an Intel i7 6900K, which would definitely be out of range of even the Kaby Lake Core i7 7740K with its bumped up clocks. But wait, Ryzen is also set to come in a 4C8T configuration on the lower end of the Ryzen range. Perhaps that is what Intel is targeting with their i5 7640K which would definitely need eight threads, by hook or by crook, to compete on equal footing with AMD’s offerings? Still, Intel will shoot themselves in the foot with the i5 7640K. If they decide to price the i5 7640K cheaper than AMD’s offering (and also possibly the i7 7700K) by a sizeable margin, why would anyone get the pricier i7 7700K and by extension, the i7 7740K? You get the same 4C8T processing, with a clock speed difference that can more probably than not be closed by overclocking the i5 CPU. f they price the i5 7640K at around the same price as the i7 7700K, why would anyone get the i5 7640K? The i7 7700K has higher stock clocks than the i5 7640K, and the extra 2MB of L3 cache would attract buyers towards the i7 CPU.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

If we ignore the rumors of the i5 7640K sporting HyperThreading, then it seems a lot more likely. The i5 7640K will most probably feature slightly higher clocks than the i5 7600K, as tradition dictates for Intel’s “refreshes”. However, the Kaby Lake CPUs are also known to be rather good overclockers, which might make the minor clock boost pointless. With HyperThreading out of the picture, Intel still has the upper hand in clock speeds, if the leaked specifications for AMD Ryzen CPUs are true, and a bump in clock speeds will widen the gap, but the lower number of processing threads will begin to show once the AMD Ryzen CPUs are overclocked. And since every AMD Ryzen CPU will have unlocked multipliers and also very modular clock scaling algorithms based on temperature and also power draw, AMD’s parts might just boost themselves to parity with Intel’s CPU. Note that we are really speculating on AMD’s side now, because we have no idea how far can AMD Ryzen CPUs be overclocked, or even how high they can boost themselves to.
Binning might be a reason for the i5 7640K’s existence though, with it being Core i7 7700K/7740Ks that cannot make the cut as Core i7 CPUs. But then that would mean that the Core i5 7640K will have very poor overclocking headroom, as I expect that Intel would be already binning their Core i7 chips and selling the better binned ones with unlocked multipliers, while the lesser ones as the locked i7 7700. It really doesn’t make a lot of sense for a new part with HyperThreading to slot below the i7 7700, and still feature an unlocked multiplier. Another possible reason is the Core i5 7640K (sans HyperThreading) and i7 7740K might feature better performing TIM between the integrated heatspreader (IHS) and die than the one in the i7 7700K, allowing overclockers to push the Kaby Lake CPUs even further than they can now.

Aside from the two reasons above — which I personally find to be rather shaky — there is no real reason for the i5 7640K to exist. HyperThreading is the last feature Intel wants to introduce into the Core i5 lineup, so I don’t expect to see it in the i5 7640K, even if it really comes out. But hey, all those rumors may even turn out to be fake, and these 800 words would mean nothing at all if that happens. Still, Intel will most probably not sit idly as AMD threatens their monopoly which they have held so comfortably for so many years.

Thermaltake TteSports Isurus Reviewed

I have spent about 2 weeks using the TteSports Isurus for both PC and mobile. Here is my review and thoughts on the TteSports Isurus, but first, let’s see the packaging and design.

Design

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

TteSports Isurus box come with red and black theme. On the front we have the actual picture of the product.

Multilingual product details at the back of the box.

In the box we have a pouch, Y audio splitter for computers with separate jacks for mic and output, replacement silicone ear buds in various sizes and the Isurus itself.

More product details about the in-ear headphone in the flip magnetic cover.

Nothing much to be note about the product, but the first thing I should mention is the earphone come with flat rubbery cable with red and black colour for each side. TteSports Isurus has good passive noise cancellation thanks to the ergonomic design. The build quality is also pretty good.

Small inline microphone with a single button that functions as a pause/play button.

TteSports Dragon logo at the back of the in-ear headphone improved the aesthetics.

Conclusion
Clear and detail audio, it produce good sound when playing game, but it lacks balance when listening to music and watching movies. However this issue is easily solved if you use a custom equalizer preset and I also found that enabling Dolby Audio effects improved the sound output as well.
It can really produce loud volumes and due to that my ears hurt and feel uncomfortable after 4-5 hours of continuous usage.
Even though the microphone is of decent quality but I am often told by my friends that my voice is quite soft in VOIP sessions. This is not because of the microphone quality but rather mainly because it’s not well positioned.
TteSports Isurus is available in Malaysian market with a Suggested Retail Price of MYR 129.

Razer Huntsman Mini Review – Compact And Efficient

Unboxing the Razer Huntsman Mini
Razer Huntsman Mini Review – Box

Let’s kick off the Razer Huntsman Mini review with the unboxing. As usual, the box follows the same scheme with other Razer products with the colours and feature highlights. Inside the box, you are expected to find the following items:
Razer Huntsman Mini Review – Box content

Welcome note by CEO Min-Liang Tan
User guide
USB-C cable
The Razer Huntsman Mini keyboard itself.

Appearance
Razer Huntsman Mini Review
If you’re not familiar with every keyboard form factor out there, then the Razer Huntsman Mini may be a bit of a shock to you. It’s a 60% keyboard so it’s very compact and doesn’t even have arrow keys. However, that doesn’t mean that it has less functions however as accessing the media control keys, arrow keys, and more would require a combination with the Fn key.
Razer Huntsman Mini Review
The design itself is meant to be as compact as possible, so there is no excessive use of space anywhere here. This is perfect for those who enjoy a minimalist setup. It’s worth noting that it uses Doubleshot PBT keycaps here, which I am personally a fan of as I prefer it over ABS keycaps.

Razer Huntsman Mini Review – Bottom
Flipping it over to the bottom, you can see four rubberized grips, which will let the keyboard stay in place on whatever surface you put it on, and two feet for the ability to tilt. You also have the product description listed right at the center. If you didn’t notice it before, there is the “For Gamers By Gamers” slogan plastered all over here.

Razer Huntsman Mini Review – USB-C

The USB cable here is USB Type-C and it is detachable. This makes it convenient if you need to bring this around as it’s easier to pack. Moreover, you can use the cable to charge your devices if you’re not using the keyboard at the time.
Overall, the 60% keyboard isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It may seem like the most basic keyboard you can get but if you want to maximize the space you have, need a mechanical keyboard to bring around, or simply want a minimalist setup, this is a pretty solid choice. After all, you still do get the infamous Razer Chroma RGB treatment.
If you want a TKL keyboard that’s a little different from the usual, check out our review of the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition, which uses linear optical switches, by clicking right here.

User Experience

Razer Huntsman Mini Review – USB-C port

To power the Razer Huntsman Mini keyboard, all you need to do is connect the USB Type-C head to the keyboard, and the Type-A head to a PC. Like with other Razer gaming peripherals, you will be prompted to install Razer Synapse if you haven’t done so already. However, it’s optional and you can still use the keyboard without it.

Razer Huntsman Mini Review – Razer Synapse

With Razer Synapse, you can customize button functions, toggle Game Mode (disables Windows key for better focus in games), and adjust RGB lighting. Given the size of the keyboard, you would have to think carefully about what buttons you would like to remap. I would recommend sticking to the default one as the keycaps already have pre-existing labels for a secondary function, but no harm in remapping to something you’re more comfortable with.

Razer Huntsman Mini Review – RGB

When it comes to RGB lighting, Razer is without a doubt one of the best around with their Razer Chroma RGB. You can have up to 16.8 million colours in a variety of lighting modes. You can even have the lighting sync up with the audio or what you’re doing, provided that the software / game supports it. Personally, I’ve never been disappointed by Razer’s RGB lighting implementation, and the Razer Huntsman Mini is no exception to that rule.
Razer Huntsman Mini Review – NKRO
As for key rollover, the Razer Huntsman Mini managed to detect up to 39 buttons at the same time. I pressed all of these using my entire left hand, in case you were wondering. This is definitely far more buttons than anyone needs to have pressed simultaneously, so this should fare well for pretty much anyone.
Razer Huntsman Mini Review – Optical switches
As for the typing experience, it varies greatly depending on your chosen switch. Razer has graciously sent us both the linear and clicky optical switch options so we could test it out. For the Razer Clicky Optical Switch variant, I don’t experience the same delay that I had with the Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro (Razer Green switches) and it’s not as loud either. The clicks are still very audible, but far more bearable than the Razer Green or Cherry MX Blue. It’s very enjoyable and comfortable for both typing and gaming.
As for the Razer Linear Optical Switch however, I didn’t have a good time with it. It feels so mushy, with a notable resistance as I press down on a key, that it reminded me of a membrane keyboard. In fact, Razer’s own mecha-membrane Ornata felt more like a mechanical keyboard than this. It feels vastly different than all the other Linear switches I’ve tried, which tends to have a smooth movement compared to this resistive switch.
For the most part, switch preference is subjective. With Doubleshot PBT keycaps, it feels more durable to press and I prefer it over ABS keycaps. However, even if you are a fan of Linear switches, I would suggest giving this particular switch a hard pass. If you like tactile feedback or clicky switches in general, you will love the Razer Linear Optical Switch. In fact, the only reason I can foresee people complaining is that it’s not as loud as the other clicky switches.
Razer Huntsman Mini Review
Given the minimalist nature of the Razer Huntsman Mini, it does not come with a wrist rest. It’s not entirely uncomfortable to use the keyboard without it but given that it’s a little bit on the taller side, having it would make a whole world’s difference for comfort. The feet does help a bit with some tilt but unless you plan on having a very light travel setup, you should find an aftermarket wrist rest for an overall better experience.
Personally, I favour full-sized keyboards as I need the Numpad for an easier time with work. With this 60% keyboard, it was a bit of a pain to adapt at first, especially with the arrow keys. However, after 3 days of use, I’ve already gotten used to it that I can make use of secondary functions without looking. If you plan on getting this type of keyboard, just make sure you’re willing to put in a bit of time to familiarize yourself with it if you haven’t done so yet.
Need a mouse to go along with the keyboard? Check out our review of the Razer Naga Pro by clicking right here.
Razer Huntsman Mini Verdict
Razer Huntsman Mini Review – RGB
The Razer Huntsman Mini is a good keyboard if you need one that takes up as little space as possible without sacrificing on functionality. The build quality is great, detachable cable allows for a cleaner setup while also making it easier to pack, the RGB lighting is mesmerizing, and you can easily use it even without the Razer Synapse software.
However, the Razer Linear Optical Switch variant feels too much like a membrane keyboard that I can’t recommend it to everyone, and it lacks a wrist rest. If you’re willing to get the Razer Clicky Optical Switch variant instead, you will definitely have a good time with this. I just wish that they had a wireless version of this for maximum portability.
At the end of our Razer Huntsman Mini review, I award this with our Silver Pokdeward.

Big thanks to Razer Asia Pacific for sending us this keyboard for the purposes of this review.

Elon Musk Chimes In On Facebook Having One Major Problem

#DeleteFacebook It’s lame
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 8, 2020

While Facebook has grown from being just another social media platform into a big part of people’s daily lives, not everyone is happy with the change. Two particular figures have went public with their thoughts on Twitter, and it’s none other than Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen and Tesla co-founder Elon Musk.
It first started with Sacha Baron Cohen tweeting the following out:
We don’t let 1 person control the water for 2.5 billion people. We don’t let 1 person control electricity for 2.5 billion people. Why do we let 1 man control the information seen by 2.5 billion people? Facebook needs to be regulated by governments, not ruled by an emperor!
This led to Elon Musk chiming on the matter with a rather simple message:
#DeleteFacebook It’s lame.
It’s no secret that Facebook become very big. With accusations of them purposely crafting what people see, there have been worries of them intentionally shaping people’s minds and thoughts for their own benefit. While it is easy to simply to say that you can get rid of Facebook, it’s not an easy thing to pull off permanently. With the ease of connecting with friends and family along with other benefits, it’s a surprisingly tough feat.

Some of you may agree with Elon Musk’s sentiment, that it has become lame, and others may disagree. That’s perfectly fine. Having one person controlling the information that the majority of people see is scary as the potential for abuse is rather high.

Get Real-time Translation With Google Assistant

Although the feature was already available if you had Pixel Buds, accompanied with a Pixel device, now it seems that you can use it without having either.
Real-time translation with Google Assistant
Being a Pixel-exclusive feature before this, now the real-time translation is set to be available to more devices. This is confirmed as the Pixel Buds support page for real-time translation has been updated, where it is now written to be available on all Assistant-optimized headphones and Android phones.
So all you need is an Android device (that are running Marshmallow and above) and a Google Assistant-enabled headphones. Once paired, you can say things like “Help me interpret French” or any other language of your choice. The person you’re communicating to will hear your translation from the phone’s speaker.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

At the moment, the feature is available in 40 languages but only 27 languages are listed under “talk” for speech translation and bilingual conversation translation on Google Translate.
Though this is welcoming news  and most people own an Android device that is higher than Android Marshmallow, finding and owning a Google Assistant headphones may be hard for some as they don’t come cheap to say the least.
Source: Android Central
Pokdepinion: Now we just need to wait for those headphones to come in at more affordable prices and options…

iOS 14 Launched; Here’s What’s New

Apple has recently revealed their new iOS 14 at this year’s WWDC 2020 keynote. If you’re wondering on what exactly is new on the OS, well let’s jump straight in.
What’s new on iOS 14

The first new feature is the App Library, where it is basically a folder system for iOS that lets you organize app neatly. To utilize it, you can simply swipe right until the point of the last screen on display. With it, you can also hide apps and there’s a search bar for you to find your needed app.
Following that is the introduction of widgets in the new update. This lets you organize what you want to be displayed on the home screen, offering customization.

Some might be glad that iOS 14 will bring in a Picture in Picture mode for the iPhone. If you’re not sure of what this means, well you can open a video and minimize it, allowing you to still watch the video while you are using your device. They’ve said that the feature will be coming out for iPads first however.
Siri also comes in a new and improved design and Apple has additionally introduced a new app by the name Translate, which support offline translations for languages.
Next up is improvements to Messages where you will be allowed to pin messages in the stock messaging apps. There’s also new Memoji customization options now. Additionally, they’ve added inline replies to iMessage which allows you to reply to individual messages, mention specific people, as well as getting notified on when you are mentioned.
Interestingly, the company has spoken about CarPlay, where they claim that you can soon use your iPhone as a car key. Apple is apparently working with BMW in launching a car next month and the feature will work on iOS 13 devices as well.
