When Apple reveals iPad Pro, we have already predicted the next iPhone will be named as iPhone 11 Pro. After Apple reveals iPhone 11 Pro, we predicted there could be a new AirPods called AirPods Pro. Finally, today we can officially say Apple has revealed AirPods Pro silently.

AirPods Pro ANC and replaceable silicon tip

For the first time, Apple’s AirPods Pro comes with active noise cancellation (ANC). Many of you might not know what is active noise cancellation. Active noise cancellation is a feature where it reduces the outside sounds when you wear the AirPods Pro. For the active noise cancellation, Apple has designed a new silicon tip which is available in three sizes.

Besides that, the new AirPods Pro also supports sweat and water resistance. According to Apple, AirPods Pro has a rating of IPX4. Since the charging case is not water-resistant, make sure you dry it first before charging your AirPods Pro. While you are exercising or cycling in a windy situation, Siri can still listen to you clearly. Even when you are on a call, the opposite person still able to listen to your voice clearly. This can be done by the outward-facing microphone which comes in a mesh design.

You can easily switch to transparency mode from active noise cancellation by pinching the stem of the AirPods Pro. It is able to cancel the outside noise at a rate of 200 times per second. With this, you can completely be focused on your music or calls. Apart from that, the AirPods Pro also has the similar Apple H1 chips which feature in the second-generation AirPods.

Apart from streaming services such as Astro Go or iFlix, Netflix is the most used digital streaming platform. Especially in countries such as Malaysia, Netflix is being used by many people. One of the reason is because the pricing plans are cheaper compared to other streaming platforms.

Recently, Netflix has launch its new feature for the Malaysians. It is a new Netflix mobile plan for Malaysia. After this, you just have to pay RM17 per month to enjoy watching Netflix wherever you are from your smartphone. According to Netflix, all its members who subscribe for this mobile plan will be able to watch Netflix contents in standard definition (SD) without any ads interruption. However, you can only watch using one smartphone at a time.

If you wish to watch it on your other devices, then you can choose the other plans which Netflix offers which will only cost you RM51 only. With this plan, you can watch your favourite Netflix content in any four smartphones or tablets. With the new mobile plan, you can access to entire Netflix catalogue, without any ads and you can cancel it anytime if you want.

Netflix mobile plan testing has begun on 2018

Before launching the official mobile plan, Netflix has begun testing this in other Asia countries too such as India. In South-East Asia, Malaysia is the first country Netflix reveals its RM17 mobile plan subscription. We believe Netflix chooses Malaysia as the first country to launch this plan is because of the population. According to Netflix, 88% of Malaysian already owns a smartphone. A report from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) noted that 78% of Malaysian internet users are spending most of the time on streaming and downloading entertainment.

Statement from Ajay Arora, Director of Product Innovation, Netflix:

Our members in Malaysia love to watch shows on their smartphones and tablets. With the first-ever Mobile plan in Southeast Asia, all of Netflix’s shows and movies will be even more accessible for Malaysians to stream and download

In a nutshell, with this, we believe sooner most of the Malaysians could be subscribing to this mobile plan with just RM17 per month only. There are already many Malaysians popular content too such as Polis Evo, Jagat and many more. Just visit Netflix website and select the Mobile plan options.

After Australia Google completes its first drone delivery in the US
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The drone is the next future for world technology. Tech giants such as Intel has developed drones for the fireworks display. This shows how much drone technology has improved worldwide. The next upcoming technology is the drone delivery service. Back in April, Australia is the first country to allow drone delivery service which was developed by Google Wing.

During that time, the United States was waiting for FAA approval. Now, Google has officially started its drone delivery service in the United States. Google Wing is the first company in the United States to start the delivery service. Next time if you want to order any foods or medicine, you can get it right away through the Google Wing drone delivery service.

How Google Wing drone delivery service?

According to Google Wing, the drone delivery was started on Friday in Christianburg which is a small town in Virginia. Google also says, the delivery process is not entirely done by the drone itself. That could really burn the drone itself. So what happens is, the beginning of the journey will be done by FedEx delivery service. The last 10km radius will be done by Google Wing delivery service.

The maximum weight the drone can carry for now is 1.3kg. It doesn’t make sense if the drone can carry 10kg goods. You can watch the video above how the drone drops the goods. Rather than landing the drone itself, the drone has a strong cable which is used to drop the goods at the delivery. If you have played drones before, you might know how hard is it to land a drone.

Some of you might be thinking, how does this drone operate? Well to answer your doubt, the drones are fully operated by the Google Wings pilot. That’s the reason, Google starts the drone delivery service in a very small town so that the Wing pilot can manage the drone delivery service.

In conclusion, as we said in the beginning, drone delivery service is the future of delivery method. Soon you can expect other tech giants such as Amazon or even Malaysia Lazada to start its own drone delivery services. For more information visit Google Wing website.
