Today, he continues to reveal his latest research note. Moreover, he unveiled various details surrounding the upcoming iPad and Apple Watch series. First, let’s start with Apple’s tablet line. According to the report, the new Face ID technology is going to make its debut in the 2018 Apple iPad Pro lines.
Additionally, he also confirmed that the two new iPad models look set to adopt a refreshed design. In details, they are going to remove the physical home button. As a result, we can expect to sport a significant reduction in bezel size of these devices. Furthermore, the larger model should translate into smaller dimensions. This is due to the fact that it will retain the same 12.9-inch display. Notably, the smaller iPad increases the display diagonal by 0.5-inches to a total of 11-inches.

Now, let’s talk about the upcoming Apple Watch series! Kuo once again confirms the previous report of them having larger display sizes.

Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus review: great 24MP selfie camera and Infinity Display!
As you may know, the Galaxy A6+ (2018) comes with meaningful upgrades in many areas over the A6 (2016). In details, there is a bigger and better display, a larger battery and a selfie cam with extra resolution. Check out the Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus review today!

Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus review
As far as it concerns, the Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) we recently had over was a little too expensive for our tastes. In the meantime, its price went down making it a better deal, and the other variant Galaxy A6+ has had a similar fate. In general, the plus option impresses us with the display and battery life. Also, the flip side to the excellent endurance and chipset is that the A6+ isn’t a top choice for gaming.
Besides, the phone’s processor also lacks the muscle for 4K recording and image stabilisation. On the other hand, the 1080p resolution was better on the non-plus, which is kind of disappointing. Overall, the video shooting mode feature is very limited for the offering price. Furthermore, though the charger comes with better quality, there still no supports for fast charging technology.

The good sign is, the handset still embraces the gorgeous design with translucent colours on the back panels. Though users may find trouble with the power box without fast-charging, the battery has been improved to the class-leading quality. Furthermore, the Galaxy A6+ (2018) comes with the Adaptive display mode enabled out of the box. Thus, the image quality is good with AMOLED cinema and AMOLED photo, which is super accurate to their respective target colour spaces. Also, the Samsung A6+ (2018) ups the pixel count to 24MP (f/1.9) of the selfie camera with “Selfie Focus” and front flash for stunning detail and softer colours.
Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus release date and price
You can find out more about the Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus specs here. As we learned, this Samsung phone has been available for purchase since May 2018. Besides, Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus price starts around $378 ~ Rs. 25, 990. Do you like the Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus price cut? Let us know!

New WhatsApp Stickers patch appeared on Android Beta update!
We can FINALLY use stickers on WhatsApp. Now that’s the news that everyone wants to here! Apparently, the new Android P Beta update might come with new WhatsApp Stickers. Keep reading for more details!

WhatsApp Stickers appeared on Android Beta update
WhatsApp is finally catching up with its rivals (WeChat, Viber, etc) and might soon get its own stickers on the upcoming Android Beta update. According to our source, a new stickers update is now available for WhatsApp Android beta version 2.18.218, coming in two packs: ‘Bibimbap Friends” and “Unchi & Rollie”. While Bibimbap Friends is an animate casserole, the Unchi & Rollie is a turd and a rolling paper, respectively. However, an exact launching date is unclear at this point.
Last month, WhatsApp Stickers appeared on Android beta version 2.18.189, though the feature was under development and remotely disabled. Now, it looks like WhatsApp beta testers can also access Stickers. The feature’s icon will apparently be next to GIF button on the keyboard. Users will require data to download a pack for the first time. Once users have downloaded the pack, the stickers can be available offline as well.

Moreover, there are four reaction packs for the WhatsApp Stickers – Lol, Love, Sad, and Wow. With WhatsApp’s Sticker Reaction packs, users will be able to quickly select and send stickers to contacts right from within the app’s keyboard. All they have to do is open a Sticker category in Stickers View and select to share with friends. A new heart icon will also be added in the Sticker View, which users can click on to view the four reactions feature. Of course, there is also a different set of stickers for each category on the app.
WhatsApp’s new improvements
It is a fact that Stickers have become a fun tool for people to converse or add them in their chat browsers. Thus, it is high time that WhatsApp brings this feature in the app. Apart from this new improvement, WhatsApp has also released features to tackle the “fake news” problem. It includes labelling messages as forwarded if it is an information which has been circulating and has not originated from the sender.
