As we enter the age of 5G connectivity and the metaverse in the future, devices are gradually upgraded to meet the demands. Just recently, Samsung made a breakthrough in developing its DDR5 memory solutions for that future and here's what you can expect.

Owners of the new Studio Display by Apple are reporting issues with updating the monitor’s firmware to its latest iOS version, with some even being told by Apple Support to send their unit for repair. It is believed that this latest firmware update is to patch an infamous issue regarding the monitor’s below par webcam quality.

The issue was shared by several users on the official Apple Support forum, with many saying that they received an error message when trying to update their monitors. The error in question reads, “Apple Studio Display firmware could not be completed. Try again in an hour. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Apple service provider.”

Remember the ePemula programme announced two weeks ago? It's this year's version of the eBelia programme from last year and aims to distribute RM300 million to Malaysian youths. Well, it's time to save that allowance because the programme is starting soon.

Last month, it was rumoured that OnePlus could have a new variant of the OnePlus 10 series on the way. Some claimed that this could be the OnePlus 10 Ultra, while others think it's the OnePlus 10R. However, it's now believed that the upcoming device will be named the OnePlus Ace.

The Communications and Multimedia Ministry (K-KOMM) has announced that applications for the PerantiSiswa Keluarga Malaysia initiative for B40 students will open this 15 April. Its minister, Tan Sri Annuar Musa revealed more details of the programme today, though he didn’t quite reveal the manufacturer of the PerantiSiswa tablet.

Speaking of which, Annuar said that the tablets come with warranty and are made by an ‘established brand’ in the market. Furthermore, the tablets will be given based on the concept of free use, whereby students must return the devices to their respective institutions of higher learning once they finished their studies.

Apple is potentially planning to release a new variation of its iPhone power adapter soon which is 35W and comes with dual USB-C ports. Currently, the tech giant only has a 20W adapter with a single USB-C port available for the iPhone.

The accessory was first spotted by 9to5Mac in a support document published on Apple’s website. However, it has since been removed from the site, potentially due to it being uploaded by mistake.

The right-to-repair movement achieved yet another victory yesterday after another major tech company has agreed to let users legally self-repair their devices. Announced in its official blog, Google said that the option to self-repair is ‘coming soon’ for Google Pixel devices.

Ana Corrales, Google Consumer Hardware chief operating officer confirmed that the company will be working with iFixit to make it easier for independent repair professionals and skilled consumers to access genuine parts from Google. She further elaborated genuine Pixel spare parts will be available for purchase from iFixit later this year.

MediaTek has been performing exceptionally well in the chip industry. The company's offerings are even going head to head against Qualcomm's flagships nowadays. However, let's not forget that the mid-range chips are the products that gave the semiconductor manufacturer its reputation. With that said, it's back with another new chip today, namely the Dimensity 1300.

OnePlus is rumoured to launch its first foldable phone as well. However, it might not be a totally new device, as it's said to be a rebranded OPPO Find N. It's worth mentioning that OnePlus had merged its business with OPPO earlier, so it's not that surprising if it came true.

Previously, it was rumoured that HUAWEI is working on a case that provides a 5G connection to smartphones. Due to the US trade ban, the Chinese company had stopped producing 5G smartphones for quite a while. Using the method, HUAWEI might let its users experience the latest communication technology once again. Now, it's said that the case will launch alongside the nova 10 series.
