macOS 11.3 code causes panic that some Apple M1 MacBooks could lose one of their best features M1-powered Macs could have Rosetta 2 removed in a future update for macOS in certain regions, or at least this is the latest nugget from the rumor mill. This one comes from MacRumors, courtesy of a contributor, Steve Moser, who was delving into the code of the latest macOS 11.3 beta (the third one) and found some interesting mentions of Rosetta 2. The latter is the translation technology that ARM-based M1 Macs use to run traditional x86 software (in other words, apps written for Intel-powered Macs). Specifically, there are messages to indicate that “Rosetta will be removed upon installing this update” and that “Rosetta is no longer available in this region. Applications requiring Rosetta will no longer run.” Naturally, this has caused a fair degree of consternation among some users who fear that somehow Rosetta 2 support could be removed from their Mac in the near futu

OnePlus 9 series might launch on March 23: Leak The OnePlus 9 series’ launch is just around the corner. The latest flagship lineup from the company is expected to launch within the first half of this month, but a new report suggests that the series will be launched by 23rd March 2021. As per known tipster Mukul Sharma (@StuffListings) on Twitter, the OnePlus 9 lineup might be unveiled on the 23rd of this month. This goes against previous reports and indications from the Chinese tech giant, which is expected to announce the new smartphones on 8th March 2021. In other words, this appears to be just speculation at the moment. So take this report with a pinch of salt for now. Talking about the upcoming series, the company is expected to launch three new models within the OnePlus 9 series, including the base version, a Pro variant, and another new addition, which will either be called the OnePlus 9r or 9E. The third variant might even be called the OnePlus 9 Lite. Unfortunately,

Realme GT teaser suggests it could be the cheapest Snapdragon 888 smartphone The Realme GT will make its global debut in China next week. With just a few more days left for the launch, the company is trying to garner some end-moment attention by talking about its local pricing and how it will be amongst the cheapest flagships of the season. The Realme GT is the brand’s next premium flagship, arriving more than a year after the Realme X50 Pro. It was confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset, joining the likes of other high-end flagship smartphones. The launch is scheduled for March 4. In a post on Weibo, Realme China’s Chase (a company spokesperson) talked about how it will be priced under CNY 2,999 (~Rs 34,000) at launch. He further adds that there will be no variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage just to bring the price down. In that case, the base model is likely to have an 8GB + 128GB configuration. It is confirmed to have options that go up to 12GB of

Samsung planning an Exynos Windows PC with AMD GPU Samsung has been open about the fact that it is working with AMD. At the launch of the Exynos 2100 in January 2021, the company confirmed it. Samsung's exact words at the time were: "We are working together with AMD, and we'll have a next generation mobile GPU in the next flagship product." Many - including ourselves - took that to mean than it would be destined for a smartphone. However, new information suggests that Samsung might be aiming this at the mobile computing segment, so we might see the first Exynos and AMD pairing in a laptop. A report from ZDNet Korea suggests that Samsung plans to launch a thin and light laptop in H2 2021, using new Exynos hardware - tentatively dubbed Exynos 2200 - paired with AMD graphics. The intent, it seems, would be to challenge Qualcomm in the Windows on ARM segment and capitalise on the fresh appetite in a post-Intel world, thanks to rave reviews of Apple's M1 ch

MacBook Pro models could regain HDMI ports and SD readers in 2021 MacBook Pro models may regain HDMI port and SD reader in 2021 MacBook Pro models may regain HDMI port and SD reader in 2021 (Image credit: Apple) The HDMI port and SD card reader could be making a return to at least two MacBook Pro models expected to release in the second half of 2020 according to respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who outlined his predictions in a note to investors. The last time a MacBook Pro included these features was back in 2015, with all models since omitting those ports in favor of USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 connections that require a separate dongle for image transfers or additional displays. A Bloomberg report initially suggested the return of the SD reader and HMDI port, with Kuo's statements giving some additional weight to those claims. This was in addition to the rumor that Apple will be releasing redesigned MacBook Pros in two sizes in late 2021 with a 16-inch model and a new 14-
