You can now add a digital pet and play pong with the iPhone 14 Pro series' Dynamic Island

We knew it was only a matter of time before third-party developers would do something with the new Dynamic Island feature, but we didn't expect them to be cute and cool. If you get your hands on the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, you would be able to install the new Pixel Pals from the Apollo and Hit the Island app for fun.

In Apollo, this Reddit app would add a tiny animal on top of the Dynamic Island. Called Pixel Pals, you can set it as a dog, cat, fox, hedgehog or axolotl. So what would these animals do? Well, they would just walk around there while you browse on Reddit and other stuff. Pixel Pals also work as Lock Screen Widgets and even for iPhones without a Dynamic Island.

Who has an iPhone 14 Pro right now? Need to test this on device asap! Hit The Island - our game concept for iPhone 14 Pro, still laggy but it’s turning out nice :) #iPhone14Pro #iOS16 pic.twitter.com/kWLU77gk6d

On the other hand, there is also the Hit the Island app which is a ping pong game that utilises the Dynamic Island. It's just like the retro pong game that was introduced decades ago and the more you play, the faster the speed it becomes. You can even choose to play with multiple pong balls if you want.

We expect more and more third-party apps to come and take advantage of the Dynamic Island in the future. But what kind of apps would you like to see? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Anyway, the top-ups come in fixed values of RM10, RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100, and RM200. All you need to do is go to the app's Do More tab and look for Games, then select Game Credits and find the top-up amount you need.

There are various other game credits you can buy

Using this code, you can then go to your Google Play app and redeem the code. This is a convenient way to let you buy things from Google Play, especially if you rather not use your debit or credit card. You can also gift the code to someone as a late Christmas or New Year's gift. If you're not into mobile games, you could also use Boost to buy game credits for Garena and Steam.

Have you tried buying game credits via Boost before and would you prefer using it over other methods? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news.

You can now check out the preview of Apple Music & Apple TV for Windows

While you can download iTunes for Windows or visit Apple TV online, it's impossible to find these Apple services in the Microsoft Store. However, Microsoft is planning to release these two platforms this year with a new preview.

On top of that, there's also a warning that installing either one of the apps will prevent you from launching iTunes for Windows properly. That includes audiobooks and podcasts.

You can now choose to mute a WhatsApp group forever

As WhatsApp continues to add on new features and support for the app and website, it seems that they have sneakily added a new Mute option into our apps and web browser without us knowing. This was confirmed on the WhatsApp's official Twitter.

That's right, for those who have a group that likes to spam messages or share fake news, but doesn't dare to leave - you can now MUTE THEM FOREVER (/evil laughs). Previously, the muta option on both the app and web only offered 8 hours and 1 week. If you login your WhatsApp group and look at the new option, you should see the 'Always' option there.

It's a small feature, but many small features create a big product.Very good @WhatsApp.I would also implement a custom mute option, that allows to automatically mute a specific chat during some hours, for example "Mute chat between 6.00PM and 11.00PM, on Saturday and Sunday". https://t.co/EftttUfY6w

Not related to the update, but @WABetaInfo also has a good idea of implementing more muta options. For example, giving users more customization on muting a group at a specific period like "Mute chat between 6.00PM and 11.00PM, on Saturday and Sunday". Personally, I think that's a good idea too and it's great for company chat groups.

Now if you would excuse me, I have some group chats to mute. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

You can now cross-post Instagram Reels to Facebook and get monetised on both platforms for the same content

Meta has been introducing new features on its social media platforms recently in an effort to compete with TikTok, including implementing a new way to create Instagram Reels using previously shared Stories. Now, Meta is allowing users to cross-post their Instagram Reels to Facebook and even permitting users to take advantage of the monetisation programmes offered on both platforms by using the same content.

As reported by 9to5Mac, this new feature follows the introduction of Reels on Facebook globally earlier this year. Reels itself is Meta’s answer to the short, tall aspect ratio videos popularised by TikTok and the ability to create Reels using Stories that users have already shared is one of the ways to make it easier for TikTok-like video content to be created and shared on Meta’s social media platforms.

Besides that, Meta is also adding the ‘Add Yours’ sticker to Instagram and Facebook Reels. The feature has become quite popular on Instagram Stories, whereby it allows users create a new Story from a trend with just a tap, and now this same experience will be available in Reels as well.

Currently, the ability to cross-post Instagram Reels to Facebook is currently being rolled out to users worldwide. So, have you gotten this new feature yet? If so, what do you guys think of Instagram and Facebook’s push for more TikTok-like contents?  Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more trending tech news such as this.

Apple iPhone XI and XI Max cases seem to confirm weird square rear cameras... and triple front cameras

We’re definitely not ones to scorn innovation but our Apple iPhone fanboys worst fears could be coming true as production cases for the Apple iPhone XI and iPhone XI Max have appeared that seem to confirm the “weird square” rear cameras that have previously appeared in renders.  Both cases don’t appear to be final products as the camera cutouts haven’t been done yet (no holes) but they seem to confirm the triple rear camera locations we’ve seen earlier.

Rumours say that these new triple rear cameras could be 14MP + 10MP + 7MP and we’re thinking the main would be the 14MP camera, the 10MP would be the ultra wide angle while the 7MP goes for telephoto. No signs of any square cutouts so no 10x optical zoom lens, but 4K video recording support and OIS are expected to come with. There’s also rumours that instead of an Apple A13 chipset we could see just an A12 chipset (maybe Apple just want to upgrade the cameras, lol) but we hope not.

More interesting are the unfinished cutouts for the front though, as they seem to indicate that there will be a much wider notch with four round holes for perhaps a triple front camera setup. Apple have never been ones to include a separate front flash, so even if one of the holes is for a ToF or Time-of-Flight sensor or depth sensor, it still leaves 3 more holes uncounted for. No MPs mentioned here but the fact that they are available for both the XI and XI Max means it could be one of Apple's major upcoming features.

No Malaysia release dates or pricing details or other tech specs and features yet but we expect it to follow the same steel frame and glass backed body as before. As usual, take this with a good load of salt as 3D printers can do so much more these days. So, is it innovation or just plain fugly? Let us know in our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com.

You can now easily make self contribution to your EPF account via the i-Akaun app

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) has recently added a new feature to its i-Akaun app which makes it easier for members to perform self contribution to their EPF accounts. As the name would suggest, self contribution or voluntary contribution is funds credited into EPF accounts by members’ themselves which is intended to grow their retirement fund even further.

Previously, self contribution can only be made through the EPF official website or personally going to EPF branches. Now, users can easily make contribution by selecting the ‘+ Add contribution’ option found right your EPF account detail on the app’s home page.

It would then prompt the ‘Voluntary Contribution’ page to open in which you can enter the amount that you want to self contribute to your EPF account. Do note that the minimum amount that can be contributed is RM10 and the maximum being RM60,000 within a calendar year.

Once you’ve keyed in the amount, slide the menu bar to continue and you’d then be directed to another page to select the online banking account you’d like to credit the contribution from. Click next and confirm the transaction request via TAC and that’s it!

Of course, it goes without saying that once the amount has been credited into your EPF account, you can’t withdraw from the fund unless you’re eligible for withdrawals under EPF. All and all, this is definitely a convenient option for those that want to build up their retirement fund through EPF without solely depending on mandatory contribution.

Apple iPhone XR, XS and XS Max tech specs for RAM and battery revealed

Apple are rather infamous for not revealing the RAM or Battery tech specs for their devices. Instead we find out from sites like Forbes and GSMArena that that the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have 4GB RAM while the iPhone XR will have 3GB of RAM. All of them will utilize Apple’s new 7nm A12 Bionic Chipset with Neural Engine for more AI (Artificial Intelligence) driven features along with dual SIM (nano + eSIM) connectivity.

During launch time, Apple themselves said that battery life for the new iPhones would be about 30 minutes for the XS and 1.5 hours for the XS Max longer than the iPhone X, which didn’t really have very good battery life in the first place. However, the iPhone XS is said to have 2800 mAh while the larger iPhone XS Max has a 3400 mAh battery. No news on the iPhone XR battery tech specs but it is expected to equal that of the iPhone XS Max. As usual, take it with a pinch of salt, cause the teardowns have yet to come, so stay tuned to TechNave.com


You can now enjoy FaceTime HD via Wi-Fi or 5G, available for iPhone 8 onward

Last month, Apple released iOS 14.2 and announced there are some new features and upgrades. There's one more thing that the company didn't mention, which is that FaceTime call is now supporting 1080p HD via Wi-FI or 5G connectivity.

The iPhone models that get to enjoy this upgrade via Wi-Fi are the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone SE (2020), iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

On top of that, the iPhone 12 series are the only devices that can support FaceTime HD over 5G or Wi-Fi. According to sources, the difference in quality between 1080p (via Wi-Fi) over 720p (via 4G) is quite obvious on the older models.

You can now generate images with Microsoft Bing Image Creator AI

If you’ve been playing around with Microsoft’s AI powered Bing search engine, it looks like you can now generate AI art too with their Bing Image Creator. Utilizing a version of DALL-E, you can type in what you want and see if it will make anything coherent. Previously when we tried to do so, all we got was alphanumeric text images but this new version is rather promising.

However, Microsoft has incorporated limitations and safeguards to avoid the creation of harmful images. When we tried to ask it to “create an image of an arrogant political frog” we got a warning saying that it can’t do so but “a frog in a business suit” worked just fine. We’re also a bit disappointed that it has no idea who we are at TechNave.com, lol.

If you’d like direct access to the Bing Image Creator check it out at bing.com/create. If you’re using the Bing app on your phone then it may take several hours to 30 minutes to create your image though. Share your creations with us in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave.com

Sigh. Yes, they don't even know how to spell TechNave, lol

Apple iPhone XS and XS Max went through a battery life test with average results

Apple is quite notorious on their battery and RAM reveal whenever there is a new device released every year annually, but now that we know the real figures, some folks from Tomsguide.com decided to run a battery test on the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

To make the test balanced, they included surfing the Internet at 159 nits (screen brightness) with Auto-brightness and True Tone turned off. Moreover, all the phones are using T-Mobile's network and a T-Mobile 4G LTE CellSpot to ensure full signal connectivity. It may not be perfect, but it's a pretty fair game for all the phones so let's see how did the iPhone XS series do.

With 3400mAh battery on board, the iPhone XS Max has a battery life duration of 10 hours and 38 minutes, then for the iPhone XS' 2800mAh battery got depleted after 9 hours and 48 minutes. According to their category average, both iPhones are just on top and slightly below the score point respectively. The weird thing about this is that last year, the iPhone X lasted for 10 hours and 49 minutes and Apple said that the XS can last 30 minutes longer.

To add on to that, you can also see the top 4 smartphones above the XS Max belong to the Huawei P20 Pro, Google Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and the OnePlus 6, which can last at least 11 hours and above. But to be fair, this battery test was only based on web surfing and there are many factors when it comes to draining the battery such as the processor, gaming, using the camera and others.

So what do you think of their battery life test? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more iPhone news at TechNave.com.

Xiaomi or Mi Malaysia recently revealed that you can get the ceramic Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 8GB RAM + 128GB storage for RM2299 (original RRP - RM2699) or the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage version for RM1699 (original RRP - RM1999).

Continuing the previous design of the Mi Mix, the Mi Mix 2 offers a 5.99-inch 18:9 aspect ratio nearly total full screen display along with the front camera located on the bottom right.

You can now get the PlayStation 5 with the Unifi 800Mbps plan but you’ll have to pay for an extra UNI5G Postpaid 65

After Unifi brochures of the Sony PlayStation 5 bundle appeared, it’s finally gone official and you can now get this recently hard-to-get gaming console with the Unifi 800Mbps plan… but there’s a catch. It’s not just the normal 800Mbps plan, but you’ll also have to pay for an extra UNI5G Postpaid 65 plan AND you can’t say no to the additional Unifi TV bundle.

This comes up to a grand total of RM523 per month for a 24 month contract. To be specific, the game console is the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, so you’ll have to download your games, which shouldn’t be an issue with the Unifi plan. The console will come with a God of War Ragnarok game and a DualSense controller.

For those who need an extra UNI5G Postpaid 65 plan, this could be the deal for you, but if not, I’d still have to think several times before shelling out RM523 a month for all that. But what do you think? Is it actually a good deal? Would you get it? Share your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com.


You can now get the Samsung Galaxy S10+ with 1TB storage in Malaysia for RM5999 and get a Galaxy A9 (RM1999) for free!

If 512GB is not enough to suit your needs on the Samsung Galaxy S10+, why not go for the 1TB variant instead? Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ with 1TB of internal storage is now here in Malaysia for RM5999.

You can get this smartphone from retailer DirectD who has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S10+ 1TB variant is an official Samsung Malaysia set. This set comes with a 1 year warranty. This top of the line Samsung Galaxy S10+ smartphone only comes in 2 colours which are Ceramic Black and Ceramic White. With every purchase of the smartphone, DirectD is bundling the Samsung Galaxy A9 worth RM1999 as a free gift.

If you aren’t up to speed, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ comes with tech specs that include 12GB RAM and 1TB of internal storage and is powered by the Exynos 9820. It comes with a 6.4 inch QHD+ Infinity-O display which houses the 10MP + 8MP dual camera setup. On the back you’ll find a triple rear camera setup with 12MP (wide) + 12MP (telephoto) + 16MP sensors. This device features wireless powershare with its 4100mAh battery capacity.

Personally, I feel like this is a very good deal with the Samsung Galaxy A9 thrown in which brings the total bundle cost to RM7998.

After the official announcement of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3, third-party seller extraordinaire DirectD have come out with import versions going for just RM1199 (exactly the price we were thinking). Coming in black and featuring a massive 6.9-inch fullview full HD+ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 5500 mAh battery, this is not the official Mi Malaysia version. However, this hints at a possible lower official price tag if or when the Mi Max 3 comes to Malaysia.

While it is an import set and runs on a China rom, DirectD says it still has Google Play store access but since it isn't an official buy, DirectD will be supporting the 1 year in-house warranty. Other tech specs include 12MP + 5MP dual rear cameras and an 8MP front camera with Android 8.1 and a dual SIM slot. Thankfully, the 5500 mAh battery will have fast charging as well.

While we wait for the official local launch, a Malaysian website managed to get their hands on the Mi Band 5 and Mi TV Stick first.

According to the website, the Mi Smart Band 5 and Mi TV Stick are priced at RM179 each. Knowing Xiaomi Malaysia's pattern on their wearables, this seems like a reasonable price, same goes to the Mi TV Stick which costs 39.99 euros (~RM194) and euro price tags tend to be pricier than ours.

Just to recap the tech specs, the Mi Smart Band 5 now has a 1.1-inch AMOLED display with 65 different themes and a wide variety of exercise modes including rowing, yoga, rope jumping and more.

Meanwhile, the Mi TV Stick is powered by Android TVTM and allows you to plug into any TV to access into Google Play and popular contents like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

If you can't wait any longer, you may visit the webpage here and here respectively. Since these two products are very likely to be a global version, that means there's no warranty for this.

5 new iPhones' designs are leaked in an image surfaced online

The rumours of the iPhone SE’s successor, iPhone 9 have been surrounding us for quite a long time. Not only it is speculated that Apple is trying to bring the series back on 31 March 2020, but there are also guesses that the company might also bring a new model to its iPhone lineup. Recently, an image has surfaced online giving us a sneak peek of all the iPhones that we are getting this year, let’s check them out!

Earlier, we have heard the news that four 5G iPhones are going to be rolled out this year. However, the new image has brought some surprising news to us by including an iPhone 12 Plus and other interesting hardware leaks. For the Pro variants, they appeared to be featuring a quad-camera setup in the image. Does it mean Apple will now start to follow the ‘more cameras the better’ rule?

The iPhone 12 Plus is obviously going to have a larger display than the standard iPhone 12. Both of the devices can be spotted with only two cameras in the image. Other than that, the much-anticipated iPhone 9 that packs only one camera can also be seen with the others. It is not sure whether this image does represent the future of iPhones, so take this with a pinch of salt.

Let us know what you think about the new iPhones’ designs on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone updates.

You can now install and use Microsoft Defender on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows

Microsoft has yesterday released a new cybersecurity app across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android using the ‘Defender’ moniker that should be familiar to Windows users. Available for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers, the features of the app will vary by the platform in which it is installed.

According to Microsoft’s official website, the app is designed for individuals and offers additional device protections. Furthermore, it will have a simplified dashboard that utilises existing antivirus software on the devices.

On Android, Defender includes antivirus protection, the ability to scan for malicious apps and scan links for web phishing protection. However on iOS and iPadOS, the app only offers web phishing protections alongside a dashboard that includes alerts for other devices with Defender installed.

Meanwhile on Windows, Defender acts akin to a dashboard as antivirus protection is defaulted to the built-in Windows Security app. On the dashboard, users can view existing antivirus protection from vendors such as Norton, McAfee and so on while managing and viewing security protection across devices.

Well, the app is definitely useful for those that want to monitor all their devices from one cross-platform app. What do you guys think?

Share your thoughts with us in the comments below as we’d love to hear from you. As always, do stay tuned to TechNave for the latest trending tech news.

For your info, YouTube Music costs RM14.90/month in Malaysia, though you can also get a free 1-month trial if it's your first time. Anyway, downloading songs or playlists to your watch is quite simple. Just go to the relevant and tap on the download icon. You can also use Smart Downloads, which will automatically download content based on your listening history.

Offline listening is great if you prefer jogging around your house without having to bring your phone. But would that be enough for you to sign up for the Premium membership? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
