Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Apple’s foldable iPhone, which could come as soon as 2026, will bend in half horizontally, according to The Information. The outlet reported back in February that Apple was developing very early prototypes of two different folding iPhones. But Apple seems to have settled on a design, the device comes with the internal codename of V68.

Apple is trying to reduce the crease that appears when the phone unfolds. The second goal is to make the device thinner. It was entirely in line with an identical report from 9TO5Mac on Tuesday, which also wrote about the foldable iPhone that Apple is working on. Also, there are unconfirmed rumors about a foldable MacBook-like device being worked on; that one is said to begin shipping in 2026.

Besides foldable, Apple might upgrade next year’s iPhone with a mechanical aperture. This feature creates a depth-of-field effect, which blurs the backgrounds and automatically keeps focus on the subject. Further, Apple is said to be working on an even thinner iPhone in the year 2025.

These developments epitomize Apple’s commitment to innovation and the enrichment of user experience. At the forefront are foldable and new camera technologies, highlighting how the brand is dealing with competition. Apple enthusiasts are looking forward to these potential game-changing devices.

Google Pixel 9: Malaysia Included in New Market Expansion?
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The very first Google Pixel smartphone made its way to the market in 2016 and was the successor to the Google Nexus devices. Although it was much hyped, Pixel smartphones never saw an official launch in Malaysia. Well, that might change this year.

Local tech pundit Xavier Naxa let it slip that there is now a new Google subsection within Urban Republic’s online store. Currently, the subsection is empty, but its availability speaks volumes about what will transpire. The move suggests that Google will try to penetrate the Malaysian market very shortly.

Previously, Malaysia had been one of the official markets for Google consumer devices. Malaysians could get their hands on Nexus smartphones and Google Chromecast. That changed in 2016. The rebranding to “Made by Google” meant that their focus moved away from Malaysia.

Even though the Pixel 8 series was earlier released in just 22 countries, hopes are still up for Malaysia. Its selective distribution for the Pixel Fold is highly visible in just four countries. The new listing on Urban Republic’s website, however, may be a sign of change.

The much-anticipated Google Pixel 9 series is slated for launch soon. Confirmation from Urban Republic hints at a new market announcement by Google for its smartphones. The list will be announced on August 14th, and we all have to wait until then to find out if Malaysia makes the list.

Certainly, this will be a moment of cheer for Malaysian tech enthusiasts. If the Pixel range of Google’s smartphones does make it to the country, then it will revive the long-lost presence of Google hardware in Malaysia.

Google Photos and Meta AI: The Future of Document Management
Reading Time: < 1 minute read

It’s time to be smart—integrate with Meta AI. The removal of MicroSD slots has shifted focus to the cloud for backups. Now, with such a large amount of image data to deal with, gallery apps have become all the more necessary—not least so for Google Photos. Now, Google Photos is making document management on the web easy, too.

Google Photos is exemplary in the categorization of images automatically. It organizes images according to face, location, and document content. This app introduced a Documents category last November and stored receipts and letters from then on. That essentially improved document organization significantly. 9to5Google recently reported the Documents category is available from the web interface.

Google Photos

Meta AI enhances the Search functionality of Google Photos. It is quite easy to search for documents by their contents. For example, searching a restaurant’s name brings receipts with the same name. This saves time and enhances user experience.

The Documents feature in the sidebar might be a gradual rollout since it isn’t available yet; though using the direct URL does work in bringing up documents. It only brings stability and satisfaction to the user.

Very soon, Meta AI is going to integrate the ‘Ask Photos’ feature into Google Photos for a whole new level of functioning. In addition to this, enhanced intelligence will be provided for document management and better search capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates.

Spotify Introduces Hi-Fi Tier: A New Era of Music Streaming in 2024
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Spotify has maintained the top position among music streaming services. Despite competition from arch-rivals like YouTube Music and Apple Music, it has held a solid footing via playlists and more so through personalized recommendations. Other than these, the free ad-enabled tier gives a lot of traction.

More Paid Plans on Spotify

Spotify

It currently has six paid plans, Individual, Student, Duo, Family, and Audiobook Access plans. Last month, it announced a Basic plan for $11, now, it seems the app is targeting a seventh plan.

Spotify began testing a Hi-Fi tier back in early 2021. But it never amounted to anything. Of course, Tidal and Apple Music already support lossless streaming. It isn’t all bad news for Spotify users, however. A new report suggests a Hi-Fi tier could still arrive this year.

CEO Daniel Ek Confirms It

On the company’s second-quarter 2024 earnings call, CEO Daniel Ek finally talked about the Hi-Fi tier. He highlighted some amazing performance metrics Spotify has had. Ek acknowledged that there is user demand for greater audio quality.

Ek hinted at what the price of this Hi-Fi tier will be, stating that it may be $5 more than what the current premium tier is. That is, this deluxe version would yield higher audio quality and more control. Control details are still blurred at this point.

Ek believes the Hi-Fi tier will help raise standards in the music industry. He said, “It’s early days.” As such, users may have to be patient for a little while longer. All in all, Spotify’s new Hi-Fi tier is going to prove to be some very exciting improvements.
