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.

She further elaborated genuine Pixel spare parts will be available for purchase from iFixit later this year.

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.

Popular social media platform Twitter is currently experimenting with a new feature that helps protect users’ peace of mind. Called ‘unmentioning’, the feature allows you to remove yourself from conversations where you’re mentioned in.

Announced by the company’s Twitter Safety account, the feature is now available for some users on the web version of the platform. The tweet also showed a GIF of the feature in action which is rather straightforward.
