Apple iMac design patent hints at an all-glass redesign with embedded display

Apple is not a company to shy from radical design choices which makes this new patent design an actual possible future for the Apple iMac. Based on a new patent filed a few days ago, it seems like Apple may be looking into a design refresh for its All-in-one iMac computers, made with a single sheet of glass. In the patent, the front design shows the iMac with a single glass sheet with a curved lower portion on one edge residing on the desk. The curved area would be a place to hold the input devices while the larger flat area would house the embedded display. Clearly the glass would not be able to stand by itself so Apple also designed a wedge shape stand of sorts that would prop the display higher or lower according to the user preference. Another design version suggested in the patent is the possibility of introducing foldable glass at the curved section. Flattening the curve could make the Mac easier for packing or transportation, though it could also be folded up for an even smaller footprint for storage. The patent is not by any means a confirmation of the design choices that Apple will take with iMacs of ...

Google Camera update v7.3 brings tweaked menu and DND, hints at 24fps mode and Pixel 4A codename

Google continues to bring updates to its camera with new features like Do Not Disturb and slightly tweaked the menu's in the settings. But more interestingly, with an APK teardown, future features have been revealed like a 24fps mode and even the codenames for the upcoming Pixel 4A. [caption id="attachment_303340" align="alignnone" width="575"] Left: v7.2 Right: v7.3[/caption] One of the minor changes in this update is the slight tweak in the settings panels for Portrait and Camera modes. The settings have been rearranged with the flash setting at the top of the menu with the other settings retaining their original order. A cool feature in this update is the option of activating Do Not Disturb mode when using the camera. This will prevent notifications from interrupting the user when shooting a video. For most users, this option will automatically be turned on once the app updates. From the APK teardown, few more interesting updates have been noted. Videography has never been a strong suit for Pixel devices. There has been a lot of backlash from users for Google choosing to not include high frame rate options at 4k in the Pixel 3 and 4. Interestingly, Google also did not allow 24fps shooting, a mode that cinematographers ...
