Apple is said to announce a new refresh of its Mac mini sometime this year, the new design, which according to FPT's renderings show a new re-design of the console-pc with a flatter design reminiscent of the original design from 2009 sans the thickness. The model is said to come with a "plexiglass-glass type top cover" and possibly color options as well. The bottom of the Mac is said to feature rubber feet instead of a circular access port found on the older models and has a vent for cooling.  The rear of the Mac mini is said to bring the "MagSafe" charger from the new iMac's. The rear also features 4x USB C thunderbolt, 2 USB A ports, 1X HDMI and 1 Ethernet port. The rumors also indicate that the device can come in a 64GB Ram option paired with the next Apple SOC - which could be either the M1X or M2. Please note that these are rumors and its best advice to treat them as such - although a fair number of these rumors sometimes do turn out to be true. Source ...

According to Youtube tech news channel FPT, these are said to be the alleged renders of what the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro (Basically the Pixel 6 XL) would look like. The renderings, which are said to be based on alleged leaks provided to a third party renderer show that Google has really given some attempt at doing a full redesign of its phones unlike with the past two generations.  The designs show a stepped hump hiding an array of cameras with three on the Pro model (possibly without a periscope sensor) and two on the normal Pixel. The front facing camera has also been moved to the center unlike the Pixel 5 and there are also indications of an in-display fingerprint sensor being thrown into the mix as well. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro specifications are not clear at the moment, but rumors do indicate that Google has been brewing their own silicon codenamed GS101 " Whitechapel" - this is said to be Google's own answer to the Snapdragon 8XX and the Apple AXX series with a three...

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down  , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out . There is also a tiltable touch screen display and will certainly benefit all those who shoot like to shoot in odd an...

The September 9 event - which is said to unveil the next gen iPhone  (iPhone 6S , iPhone 6S plus and iPhone 6C?) is also rumored to be the event where Apple is to announce a new iPad - namely the iPad Pro - a tablet that will revolutionize multitasking for the world of tablets . The rumored iPad Pro is basically a beefed up version of the current iPad Air 2 with the addition of a new 12.9" monstrous display , a Apple A9/A9X soc , a force touch system for the display and a massive battery and a even bigger price tag of atleast around double that of the 9.7 version .
