Apple may finally implement a widget feature on their upcoming iOS 14 update

While Apple iPhone 12 rumours are slowly picking up steam, there is some big news surrounding the upcoming iOS 14 update this year. According to 9to5mac.com, it seems that Apple may finally have a new look on their iPhone's home screen with widgets.

Yes, that's like...what Android phones have for years and Apple is really late to the party. But anyway, @ParkerOrtolani from Twitter decided to design and imagine how would the widgets look like on the new iOS 14 via "Springkit" framework (as he calls it). In his vision based on the iOS14 codes, he thinks there are 3 possible app icon designs which are the standard still icon, a fully functional icon showing data or buttons and a full-sized widget.

Alright, here's my concept for adding widgets to the iOS home screen. I call it SpringKit. Three icon classes for developers to pick from that users can also switch between. All of them fall into the existing grid and customization features. https://t.co/JYDmUZrAFp pic.twitter.com/Vj60AXbTjm

One fine example from his designs is the built-in Weather app that functions as a widget showing the current weather forecast. Then for the Activity app, it could potentially be a full-sized widget showcasing the user's activity of the day. Third-party app developers could also potentially tweak an opening tab on the app or widget icons, which is similar to the 3D Touch to do a few tasks.

9to5mac.com notes that users will be able to move around these unannounced widgets, but it may be scrapped along the way since it's still in development. But you know what would it be cool, though? If we can resize the widgets accordingly, that'd pretty cool.

But what do you folks think? Is this long overdue for Apple or it's better late than never? Let us know in the comments on our Facebook page and stay tuned for more tech news at TechNave.com.

realme CEO teases the brand's first laptop

As rumoured, realme is planning to expand its product categories by launching its first laptop. Last month, the brand has released a survey by wanting to know if the customers are interested in buying a new laptop in the next three months. With that, we suspect that realme's first laptop is just around the corner. Until now, the CEO for realme India and Europe has finally dropped the first teaser regarding the product.

A tweet posted by Madhav Sheth on Twitter is attached with a picture that reveals a corner of the laptop. Sheth's caption is also an intriguing one by including a binary message that says "Hello World" and challenging the fans if they can figure the product's name out. For now, we could only call it "realme Laptop" as the comment section is also filled with this guess.

Dizo will be venturing into the Smart Home, Smart Care, Accessories and Smart Entertainment product categories aided by Realme’s supply chain, AIoT experience and industrial design. Looking back at the tweet, the CEO included a #TechLife hashtag as well and the word also appeared alongside the announcement of Dizo.

realme CEO teases the company’s potential entry into the foldable smartphone market

The foldable smartphone market has been heating up recently with choices now aplenty compared to just a few years ago. Well, it may get even more competitive soon as another tech company may be releasing a foldable device soon: realme.

Teased by its CEO Madhav Sheth, the company may be releasing foldable smartphones soon. In a Tweet, Madhav asked fans what they want next, a realme flip or a realme fold.

This is not the first time that realme has teased making foldable smartphones, as previously reported by GizmoChina, the company's China vice president said that the company is indeed working on creating an “affordable foldable”. However, nothing concrete has been announced just yet.

Well, a realme foldable smartphone, be it a flip or a fold is definitely likely as its sister company OPPO already offers various foldable devices. Nevertheless, it’d be interesting to see what a realme foldable would look like, especially if it is more affordable compared to the ones currently found in the market.

On top of that, realme is proud to announce that the realme GT 2 Pro's body was built with an industry-first, eco-friendly, bio-based polymer on the rear cover to create a premium paper texture.

realme GT 2 Pro could have 50MP camera instead of 108MP as predicted

According to WHYLAB, the realme GT 2 Pro will launch in early 2022. It's expected to have a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 32MP front camera, and 125W fast charging. Besides that, the phone will allegedly support WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and come with the new Android 12-based realme UI 3.0.

The display will be a 6.51-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, which will most likely support a refresh rate of 120Hz. Allegedly, it will also have a punch-hole for the front camera.

realme GT 2 Pro's render reminds us of Google Nexus 6P

The upcoming realme GT 2 Pro is a highly-anticipated device from the brand, as it's said to be a device that marks realme's entry into the high-end global market. Today, someone has made a render for the device by bringing a surprising twist to the series before the launch happens.

Looking at the render, it does remind us of a device, and it's the Google Nexus 6P. The realme GT 2 Pro sports a similar horizontal camera mound on the back with three sensors in it. If you look closer, two of them are said to be 50MP sensors with the appearance of GR Lens. According to the source, GR Lens offers the best shooting performance in a small camera body. It helps reduce ghosting and multi-coating on all surfaces and is claimed to provide excellent resistance against backlighting.

Furthermore, the back panel of the device is said to be made of ceramic, while the frame goes with metal. The only thing we're not seeing from this render is the front design. It's said that there could be a tiny punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera and narrow bezels.

realme GT 2 series confirmed to feature world's first 150-degree ultra-wide camera

realme has fooled us. Earlier, the brand announced an event for today, and most of us believed that the realme GT 2 series would show up. It turns out that the event was for the company to reveal the innovations that are coming with the smartphone series rather than launching the devices themselves. However, it's still newsworthy as the upcoming phones will feature impressive photography technology.

realme revealed that the GT 2 series would feature a 150-degree ultra-wide camera, making it the first smartphone manufacturer to present the technology. It will also include a fisheye mode that lets users play with the depth of field effect on the camera. By the time it comes out, it'll have a higher field of view than we've seen on most other smartphone cameras. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra had a notable 128-degree field of view on its wide-angle camera in 2021, but what realme offers is much better.

We had already found out that the upcoming smartphones will feature three world's first innovations. The previous report brought one of the innovations to light, and it was the world's first innovative bio-based material. It can not only reduce carbon emissions by up to 63% per kilogram, but the material is also as durable as traditional materials. Alongside this new 150-degree ultra-wide camera, realme also announced its world's first ultra-wide-band antenna-switching technology. It uses 12 wrap-around antennas that cover all sides of the phone and support mainstream bands in all directions.

The realme GT 2 Pro is now aiming for a Q1 2022 launch. What are your thoughts about these innovations? Leave a comment to let us know and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone reports.


realme GT 2 series could come with 80W fast charging, new device with Dimensity 8000 chipset could also be coming soon

When it comes to the sheer number of smartphone models, realme is probably the number one these days. The brand has a variety of options that range from flagship to entry-level, and more phones could be coming out in the next few weeks.

According to Digital Chat Station, realme has plans to launch devices with 80W and 150W fast charging. Interestingly, realme will allegedly use OPPO's 160W power adapter for the device with a 150W fast charge. There's a high chance that these specs will be for flagship devices, such as the upcoming realme GT 2 series. The 150W charging spec could be for a top-tier variant, something like a realme GT 2 Master.

Besides that, realme is allegedly planning to launch a device with the Dimensity 8000 chipset. The source claimed that consumers won't have to wait long, as the device is "coming soon". He failed to provide any other detail about the device, but this should be an upper mid-range smartphone. Previously, it was rumoured that this could be the realme GT Neo 3T. It makes sense if you consider that the realme GT Neo 2T also came with a mid-range Dimensity chipset.

Mind you, this article is mostly speculation so take it with a grain of salt. But if these devices are indeed coming soon, expect more info to appear in the coming weeks. We'll keep an eye out for more news about this, so stay tuned to TechNave for updates.


realme GT 2 series expected to have 3 models, Pro variant's specs leaked

The realme GT 2 series is probably going to be rather exciting for fans. realme has put a lot of effort into its flagship series over the last few months, with its successor even expected to feature some innovations. Now, we more or less have confirmation that there will be three models.

According to @OnLeaks, his renders are for a camera-centric realme GT 2 model, while the latest renders are for the realme GT 2 Pro Master Edition. Based on the leaked images, this model has a design that's almost identical to the realme GT Neo 2 that was launched here in November 2021. However, the realme GT 2 Pro Camera comes with a horizontal triple-camera design that reminds us of the Google Pixel 6.

This means that there are at least three models in the realme GT 2 series - the two models mentioned above and a standard realme GT 2. Anyway, the realme GT 2 Pro Master Edition will allegedly come with two 50MP cameras. Moreover, it's expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, a 6.51-inch Super OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 5000mAh battery.

The camera specs for the Master Edition already sound good, so we're curious to see what specs the so-called 'Camera Edition' would have. With that said, does that horizontal camera design look weird to you? Share your opinions in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for further updates about it.


realme GT 2 series to feature three "world's first innovations"

Before launching the realme GT 2 series in a few more days, realme has announced that some interesting technologies will come along with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered smartphone. Not only that but all of them also get labelled as "world's first innovations", which means that other smartphone manufacturers have not achieved them previously.

The three innovations will include eco-friendly material, photography, and communication technologies in the GT 2 series. realme will be teaming up with Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa again, whom they previously worked with on the realme GT Master Explorer Edition, to build the upcoming smartphones. It's said that they will be using the "world's first innovative bio-based material," which can not only reduce carbon emissions by up to 63% per kilogram but is also as durable as traditional materials.

For the other two innovations, the company didn't specify much. However, we're going to find out what they are on 20 December. Besides Qualcomm's latest flagship, the realme GT 2 Pro might also feature an under-display camera, a QHD+ screen, and 12GB RAM with 1TB storage onboard. We can't deny that those are the tech specs that make a smartphone looks promising.

Are you excited about what realme is putting on the table? Drop a comment to let us know and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone news.


realme GT 2 series to use LTPO 2.0 display, gets A+ rating from DisplayMate

Many smartphone brands will be looking to upgrade the displays on flagship devices in 2022. Just last week, Xiaomi announced that its upcoming Xiaomi 12 series would use an LTPO 2.0 display panel. Now, realme has also confirmed that the GT 2 series would use the same panel.

Chase Xu Qi (realme Vice President) has announced that the realme GT 2 series will use the LTPO 2.0 display technology. It's a 6.7-inch display with a max resolution of 3216x1440, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a whopping 1000Hz touch sampling rate. Moreover, realme would be using Corning Gorilla Glass Victus to protect the screen.

This is probably the display of the realme GT 2 camera edition, which allegedly comes with a horizontal triple camera setup.

Sources claimed that Watch 7 is "significantly different" from previous Apple Watches, causing issues during the process of assembling the components.

Due to the issues, production of the new model was placed on hold temporarily. Apple and its suppliers are now looking for ways to solve the problem, and possibly refined the design to ensure a smoother mass production phase. Note that we're not sure if this means that Apple wants to change the actual product design or the manufacturing process.

Apple has not made any comments on the report, but don't expect the Watch 7 series to be available anytime soon. Having said that, do you have any plans to upgrade to the new model? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for further updates on this.

Yesterday, Chase Xu (realme CMO) posted a photo on Weibo claiming that a hint of the company's next device can be found in it.

realme GT Master Edition renders and specs leaked

When the realme GT 5G was launched last month, it delivered a flagship-class device at a relatively affordable price. Not too long after, a new rumour hinted of a new variant called the GT Master Edition. There weren't any details at the time, but now it seems that the phone is expected to launch soon.

Thanks to 91Mobiles, we have our first glimpse of the realme GT Master Edition. At first glance, you'll immediately notice that the colours are not as flashy. For this model, realme went with one white and one black variant with matte finishing, as well as a third with a leather back. Not much of the design has changed either, except for the smaller LED flash module.

Allegedly, this model will have a mid-range Snapdragon 778 5G chipset. However, memory capacity is still very high with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. As for the features, it'll come with a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, triple-camera (108MP+8MP+2MP) setup at the back, and one front-facing camera (32MP). Furthermore, it will have a 4300mAh battery and supports 65W SuperDart fast charging.

Based on the details, it's clear that this model has a higher focus on the cameras. It's expected to retail for 399 Euro (~RM1968). But is this configuration preferable for you? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.


50 5G towers could be coming to Sabah this year under NFCP worth up to RM290 million!

A report yesterday recently revealed that 50 telecommunications towers will be built in Sabah starting from this year. Quoting Roslan Mohamad, Head of the Sabah State Office for the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, the report says that each of the communications towers are estimated to cost RM1.7 to RM1.8 million with total costs coming to RM290 million. They are expected to help support 5G telecommunications and improve 4G coverage.

Coming under the 1st phase of the RM21.6 billion NFCP (National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan), the plan is set to see 152 such towers built across the country. Sabah currently has a network coverage of 85.1% but the majority use just 3G while 60.2% use 4G. The goal of the NFCP is to ensure a steady 30 Mbps Internet speed to 98% of the country in 2023 with more such towers expected to be built in the 2nd phase.


Apple may launch an iPad with a folding display in 2024

While other manufacturers already launched several generations of foldable smartphones in the market, it looks like Apple will not follow suit but instead release a foldable tablet first. In fact, according to analyst firm CCS Insight, Apple may be launching a foldable iPad in 2024.

In its annual predictions report published last week, CCS Insight claimed that Apple will begin experimenting with foldable technology soon. Furthermore, the analyst firm predicts that the tech giant will be releasing a foldable iPad first before implementing such technology on its iPhone lineup.

According to CNBC, CCS Insight chief of research Ben Wood said that it doesn’t make sense for Apple to make a foldable iPhone right now. Instead, the company will shun the trend and dip its toes in the water with a foldable iPad.

He further elaborated that an iPhone with a folding display will be a super high risk for the company as it would be incredibly expensive in order to not cannibalise existing iPhone sales. Besides that, Wood said that if Apple had any technical issues with the foldable phone, then it would be a “feeding frenzy” with critics attacking the tech giant for the problems.

So, what do you guys think about a potential foldable iPad in two years’ time? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more trending tech news.

realme GT Neo 2T in the works, will feature customised Dimensity 1200

realme is expected to expand its GT Neo lineup with a new phone soon. But the realme GT Neo 2 won't be the last variant in the series for the company. Sources claim that realme has another GT Neo series phone that will also launch soon.

According to Digital Chat Station (via GSMArena), a realme GT Neo 2T would launch in China this month. This device will allegedly feature a customised Dimensity 1200 chipset, which probably means that it'll have faster CPU frequencies. The source also claimed that it will be co-branded with a well-known IP in China. This could be referring to a maker that's designing the phone.

If that is the case, this could be a variant or special edition of the realme GT Neo 2. In other words, the phone should also have up to 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 5000mAh battery. Moreover, we expect it to have the same 6.62-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Since it's using a MediaTek chipset, realme could launch it at a more affordable price. But we can't confirm any of the details above, so take the news with a grain of salt. Having said that, do stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about the realme GT Neo 2T.


realme GT Neo 2T release: MTK Dimensity 1200AI, 120Hz display, and 64MP camera, starts from ~RM1,240

The realme GT Neo 2T had arrived in China earlier today. Instead of being similar to the realme GT Neo 2, the device is more of twins with the previous GT Neo by packing a MediaTek Dimensity 1200AI SoC, the same chip used by the OnePlus Nord 2. Therefore, the GT Neo 2T can be the alternative if you don't want to settle for OnePlus's offering.

Besides a MediaTek's chip, the device also sports a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, along with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a sensor response rate of 360Hz. For the battery, it brings one with a power of 4500mAh and offers 65W fast charging.

The camera department brings a triple setup on the rear with a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, there will be a 16MP sensor housed in a punch-hole cutout located on the top left corner. The other tech specs include two SIM cards, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC, USB Type-C port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a line engine and a couple of stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.

The device will be on sale in China starting from 1 November with 1,899 Yuan (~RM1,240) for the 8/128GB variant, 2,099 Yuan (~RM1,370) for the 8/256GB variant, and 2,399 Yuan (~RM1,566) for the 12/256GB trim. If you think the RAM is still not enough, the GT Neo 2T has the virtual RAM feature that allows expansion for up to 7GB.

realme GT Neo 2T teaser shows pure white colourway

Recently, it was rumoured that realme has another GT series smartphone in the works. The company even confirmed that the realme GT Neo 2T will launch on 19 October 2021. Now, we're starting to get more details from realme about the device like the colours.

Earlier today, realme posted a render of the realme GT Neo 2T on Weibo. It revealed a pure white phone that allegedly has a ceramic body, and could be a second variant of the model. This is because the launch teaser from yesterday showed that the designer is LI-NING, a sports apparel brand in China. In our opinion, a ceramic body is more classy than sporty, so there could be at least two variants of the realme GT Neo 2T.

In terms of tech specs, this phone is expected to come with a Dimensity 1200 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage. It should also have a 64MP main camera, 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and an under-display fingerprint reader.

From what we can tell, this model seems to be targeted at those who want a fancy looking smartphone. Would that be something you'd be interested in? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

This authenticator chip may be integrated with the USB-C port on the upcoming iPhone as well as on the official charging cables. Hence, third-party accessories that do not have this chip may prompt a “This accessory is not supported” warning when plugged into the iPhone 15 series or may just not function correctly.

Of course, do take this with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet. Well, it is worth noting that other Apple products that already utilise USB-C like the latest iPad lineups have no such limitation.

It looks like there are some photos of Naruto as well as a special Hidden Leaf Village SIM pin tool, an orange charger and a USB C charging cable. There are three different phone covers too.

Apple may not be announcing its new MacBooks in October with an event after all

If you were waiting for news on the new Apple MacBooks with ARM-based CPUs, you might have to wait a bit more. It was previously rumoured that Apple may be looking to hold an official announcement event in October for the MacBook, similar to the annual event in September for iPhones. But now it's said that this event will not be happening.

According to Komiya, sources suggest that there will be no October event. Of course, this doesn't mean that Apple has no intentions of launching new MacBooks. It's possible that the hardware is not ready yet and are currently unsure of when it will be. With that being the case, Apple opting to skip an official event and just release the product when it is ready isn't all that unusual. Of course, they could just be looking to postpone the event.

My new source suggests that there is no October event at which Apple is to unveil Apple Silicon MacBooks and more

Anyway, this rumoured event was supposed to reveal new MacBooks that use ARM-based CPUs, with the Apple A14X Bionic chipset said to be the one to be used. This upcoming MacBook is also expected to have up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and a whopping 15-20 hours of battery life. But the important part is still the shift to an ARM chipset, which will help make future MacBooks more affordable.

Of course, we can't write off an official unveiling since this rumour has yet to be verified. But do you think Apple can afford to skip an event, or would you like them to showcase the differences of the new ARM-based MacBooks? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more updates on this.


realme GT Neo 5 may feature 240W wired charging, the world’s fastest on a smartphone

realme is reportedly planning to beat Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition’s wired charging speeds by introducing 240W wired charging on the upcoming realme GT Neo 5. Currently, the Redmi smartphone sports 210W wired charging, the world’s fastest on a smartphone.

Revealed by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the GT Neo 5 is allegedly coming in 2 variants, one of which comes with a 4600mAh battery and 240W wired charging. As for the other variant, the tipster claimed that it will feature a 5000mAh battery with 150W wired charging.

This may come as no surprise to those that follow the latest advancements in wired charging, as realme’s sister company OPPO had previously demoed the same charging technology earlier this year. Hence, realme may be the first of the three sister tech companies (OPPO, realme and OnePlus) to commercially introduce the 240W wired charging before the feature makes its way to OnePlus and OPPO’s smartphones.

Of course, do take this information with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet. Well, given that the same 240W wired charging had already been demoed before, we’re not surprised if this rumour turns out to be true.

Taking to its official Weibo account, realme said that the GT Neo 5 will launch in February 2023, though an exact date was not revealed. Moreover, the company also assured consumers that the 240W charging milestone is safe to use.

Interestingly, realme skipped a generation in the naming scheme as it went from the GT Neo 3 straight to the GT Neo 5. This is because the number “4” is bad luck in Chinese culture.

No other official specs have been unveiled just yet but according to rumours, the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS3.1 storage. Moreover, the GT Neo 5 may feature a 6.7-inch 144Hz OLED panel with a resolution of 1.5k and a Sony IMX890 primary camera sensore with OIS.

realme GT Neo 5 to feature a variant with 150W charging and 5000mAh battery

Previously, we reported that the soon-to-be-launched realme GT Neo 5 will sport the world’s first 240W wired charging on a smartphone. Now, the Chinese tech company has confirmed that not all variants will feature that charging speed as there would be another variant with a larger battery and 150W charging too.

Shared by the company on its Weibo account, the GT Neo 5 will come in two variants, one with 240W fast charging with an unspecified battery capacity and another with 150W and a 5000mAh battery. Based on the wording of the realme promo materials, it is pretty certain that the battery capacity of the 240W would be smaller than the 150W variant.

Moreover, while 150W is not that eye-catching compared to 240W, it still charges super fast, with realme claiming it can fill up the 5000mAh battery in just 16 minutes. Besides that, not much is known about the specs of the series, especially the SoC that would be powering both variants.

Well, we just have to wait a few more days to know for sure as the GT Neo 5 series will launch this 9 February in China. So, are you guys excited about this upcoming smartphone lineup by realme?

Apple may not have plans to unveil any new hardware at WWDC 2020

As the name suggests, the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is an Apple event that's mostly about software. Despite that, many tend to expect at least some hardware to be unveiled at the event. However, it's possible that there may not be any hardware reveals at this year's WWDC.

Apple has unveiled hardware at WWDC before, with the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR first revealed at last year's WWDC. This year, many were expecting to see a redesigned iMac, the AirTags, AirPods Studio, and a new Apple TV. But according to MacRumors, multiple sources have claimed that there's a chance that this year's event may not feature any hardware at all.

Looking like any possible hardware has been scrapped for WWDC tomorrow Might be wrong about this one. Would love to be wrong!I’ll be surprised with all of you, either way!

I had two sources tell me no hardware for WWDC tomorrow. They aren’t on WWDC related teams but heard it through the Apple grapevine. I’d take this with a grain of salt, but thought it was worth mentioning.

Jon Prosser (Front Page Tech) and Max Weinbach (XDA Developers) both tweeted about this possibility, though they did say that they might be wrong this time. Also, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg believed that hardware won't be announced until later this year. If that's the case, then all of Apple's new hardware could be launched alongside the iPhone 12.

Considering that even the leakers express doubt about the news, it's best to take this rumour with a grain of salt. Having said that, what do you expect to see during WWDC 2020? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.
