The first iPhone that Apple plans to launch this year is the new-generation iPhone SE. Supposed to remain the smallest iPhone on the market, the new iPhone SE is expected to see the daylight in the spring, just its direct predecessors. And according to display analyst Ross Young, the unveiling is very likely to happen in April or May, as the production of the screens to be used on this iPhone SE has already started. If everything goes according to the plan, Apple is projected to start the iPhone SE 3 mass production in March, whereas the first units should start shipping in the second half of April or in early May. An announcement from Apple is also expected during one of these months. The iPhone SE overhaul While the upcoming iPhone SE is supposed to be an all-new model, people familiar with the matter said Apple is mostly focusing on under-the-hood upgrades rather than on a ...

PowerToys just keeps getting better and better, and at first glance, Microsoft is fully committed to improving this small suite of utilities in the long term. This time, however, Microsoft is adding a completely new utility that will be part of a PowerToys update supposed to launch rather sooner than later. This new tool will be specifically aimed at those relying on the mouse when working on their devices. Simply called “Mouse utilities,” it’ll allow users to find their mouse pointer by simply pressing the left Ctrl key twice. This comes in handy particularly when you’re working on a busy screen and it’s getting more difficult to see the cursor. At the same time, PowerToys will also get an option to highlight the mouse when pressing a defined keyboard shortcut. A third option called Inclusive Mouse will draw a crosshair centered around the mouse pointer. The new utility is projected to become available for all users with the release of version 0.55 later this mo...

Even though it’s an essential tool for so many Windows power users, the Task Manager has so far been left behind by Microsoft when it comes to the modern overhaul that the rest of the operating system has already received. In other words, the Windows 11 Task Manager looks pretty much like the Windows 10 sibling, minus the rounded corners that are available at the operating system level anyway. However, the Task Manager still lacks a modern UI and essential features like a dark mode. And it goes without saying these have all been among the top feature requests for users out there. The Task Manager overhaul But as it turns out, the Redmond-based software giant has finally received the message, so it’s now working on a major overhaul of the Task Manager. Twitter user FireCube has discovered that the most recent version of Windows 11 preview, which was released to users enr...

Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 preview build to insiders out there, and in addition to a bunch of welcome updates, the company has also included several critical bug fixes. In other words, the experience with Windows 11 should be much smoother after installing build 22538, though it’s important to keep in mind all these improvements are still exclusive to insiders. First and foremost, Microsoft says it has resolved a glitch causing the hardware buttons for volume on some devices to cause a crash of explorer.exe. Indeed, this has been a major annoyance in Windows 11 preview builds, though the bug only occurred occasionally. Furthermore, the company says that it also addressed a problem causing some insiders to see text in Settings mixed up. And after installing this build, the audio and the video should no longer be out of sync during video playback when resuming from sleep or hibernate. Even more fixes Microsoft explains in the changelo...

Microsoft’s latest preview build for Windows 11 insiders includes welcome voice access improvements that make this feature easier to use, especially with a touch keyboard. This is because the company has added numbered tear drops over all keys of the touch keyboard, therefore allowing users to perform a series of operations easier. For example, you can now turn to the touch keyboard for things like spelling words, entering numbers, punctuation marks and symbols, as well as emoji. To show and hide the touch keyboard it’s enough to just say “show keyboard” or “hide keyboard,” while the typing thing is possible with a command like “click number.” For the time being, however, the commands that are available for voice access with a touch keyboard are still limited. For example, in addition to the ones mentioned above, users can only use voice access on and off commands, such as “turn off voice access.” Still in the works The new voice access feature...

Microsoft has just released Windows 11 build 22538 for insiders in the Dev channel, with the company revealing not only a set of new features but several critical bug fixes. The new build introduces several voice access improvements, including support for the touch keyboard, therefore making the new experience more straightforward from one end to another. Then, Microsoft says this build also enables the new entry point for widgets with the weather on the taskbar for all users. Previously, this updated experience was only available for a limited set of insiders. The company explains it has also brought its new IME and touch keyboard designs to the lock screen. “Our updated IMEs and touch keyboard designs will now show on the Lock screen and where you enter your account information such as username and password. This change is currently rolling out to a subset of Windows Insiders at first and we’ll expand over time based on feedback,” it says. Known issues...

A pilum might not take down an enemy, but it will eliminate the shield. My veles then follows up with an assassin’s move to take down the opponent, getting another action. This allows him to whittle the shield of another, with my triarii using his long staff to then remove half of the health. One sagittarius uses a half-bow ability to eliminate an enemy spearman and then, with his bonus action, lights another on fire. I still have three characters I can use and, even if I know I will be unable to kill all enemies this turn, I can make sure they have minimal health and deal almost no damage before I destroy them when I can next act. Expeditions: Rome was created by Logic Artists and is published by THQ Nordic. The title is available on the PC only at the moment, where I played it on Steam. It uses many of the same ideas as the two previous entries in the series, with a new setting and attractive narrative. Players will be taken to Antiquity, able to create and contro...

The chip is paired with up to 8GB RAM, with the tablet offering a maximum of 128 GB of eMMC storage. Going on sale in Apri...

More specifically, the Cupertino-based tech giant accounted for no less than 22 percent of the phone sales worldwide, which means that more than 1 in 5 phones solid during the quarter was an iPhone.
