The Datsun Go and Go+, two hatchbacks that haven’t seen an upgrade or facelift in quite a while, now ship with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), a new infotainment system, and a new “Vivid Blue” colour option in India. The Nissan-owned car maker announced these updates in a press release yesterday. The Datsun Go and Go+ currently start at Rs 3.32 lakh and Rs 3.87 lakh respectively. Sadly, Datsun has not updated the cheaper Redi-Go with these features.
Datsun’s Vehicle Dynamic Control is a safety technology that monitors wheel speed, steering wheel position, and lateral acceleration of the car using onboard sensors to provide better stability control electronically. According to the Japanese car maker, it responds to oversteers and understeers effectively to deliver a safer driving experience. As part of the safety upgrade, the Datsun Go and Go+ also come with anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), and traction control system (TCS).
“Datsun is committed to transform customer experience with new and innovative products. Underscoring our focus on progressive mobility backed by safety, technology, style and convenience, the New Datsun GO and GO+ now comes with VDC so that the Datsun owner can drive with confidence,” commented Hardeep Singh Brar, Director Sales and Commercial at Nissan India. The Japanese car brand claims that the VDC is a segment-first safety feature for the two hatchbacks.
The two cars also come with an updated infotainment system. According to Datsun, the new music system features a seven-inch display and smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Apart from standard in-car music features, the music system also comes with voice recognition. The Datsun Go went on sale in India in 2013 and the longer Go+ followed soon after. Both models were upgraded late last year. The Datsun Go and Go+ come with a single powertrain option: a 3-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol motor that churns out 68 horsepower.
At WWDC, Apple split its mobile operating system into two. iOS will no longer be the driver of iPads as Apple has introduced a new OS for its large screen device. Called iPadOS, the software is coming this fall to iPad Air 2 and later, all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation and later and iPad mini 4 and later. Currently in developer preview, iPadOS will become available as a free software upgrade to all users when it rolls out officially and a public beta of the same will also be rolled out later this month.
The new OS dedicated to iPads comes with features such as a new Home Screen with widgets, improved multitasking, more tools for Apple Pencil, improved text editing, Dark Mode, Sign-In with Apple, mouse support, support for external drives and more.
“iPad transforms how people work and express their creativity, and with iPadOS, we’re taking it even further by delivering exciting capabilities that take advantage of its large canvas and versatility,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering.
Here’s everything new coming to the iPad with Apple’s new iPad OS
Redesigned Home Screen
With iPad OS, the Home Screen gets a new layout and will now show more apps on each page. The day’s view, called Today View, can be added to the Home Screen to help users better manage their day’s activities. This will also allow users to access widgets, including headlines, weather, calendar, events and others quicker than before.
Support for External Drives and Mouse
With iPadOS, the tablet now gets support for external drives. So now, users can connect USB Drives, SD cards to the iPad. Users can also connect to an SMB Server. All of this happens through the Files app. Another big change Apple made is to add support for mouse, both USB and Bluetooth. The functionality was discovered by iOS developer Steve Troughton-Smith. For now, Apple has introduced mouse support as an accessibility feature in the AssistiveTouch options. The mouse pointer looks like a circular touch point.

These seem like a step in the right direction for creators who use iPads. It is also Apple’s way of merging functionality of Macs and iPads as part of Project Catalyst.
Split View and Slide Over
With iPadOS, users can now work on multiple files and documents from the same app simultaneously. Apple has updated Split View and Slide Over so users can also quickly view and switch between multiple apps. For example, customers can compose an email while viewing another email side by side or access multiple apps like Messages or Calendar with just a swipe.
Apple Pencil
Apple has made additions to the way the Pencil can be used with iPads. Swiping with the Apple Pencil from the corner of the iPad’s screen will let users complete tasks like mark up and send entire webpages, documents or emails. There’s a re-designed tool palette which gives users quick access to tools, colour palettes, shapes, object eraser, a new pixel eraser for removing any part of a stroke and a ruler for drawing perfectly straight lines. Apple claims, “Pencil feels even more natural, using advanced prediction algorithms and optimisations to reduce its industry-leading latency to as low as 9 milliseconds.”
Files App
We already told you that the Files App on iPads will support external storage. In addition, it has been improved to add a Column View with previews and Quick Actions such as mark up, rotate and create PDF. iCloud Drive gets support for folder sharing. Anyone with access to a shared folder will see it in iCloud Drive and will always have the ability to access the latest version.
Safari
Safari is getting desktop-class browsing on iPad. iPadOS will now automatically present a the desktop version of the website, scaled for the iPad display and optimised for touch. There’s now a full-fledged download manager on Safari and it also gets 30 new keyboard shortcuts and enhancements to tab management.
Text Editing
Text editing has been updated making it easier and faster to point with more precision and speed, select text with a swipe and use new gestures to cut, copy, paste and undo. Users can now use three fingers to pinch and copy text, spread three fingers to paste.
More...
Just like iOS 13, iPadOS will also get a system-wide Dark Mode.
Apple has added fonts to App Store so users can install and use them across apps. Fonts from boutique and major vendors such as Adobe, DynaComware, Monotype, Morisawa and Founder will be available on the App Store.
There’s a new floating keyboard that makes one-handed typing easier.
Other features coming over to iPadOS from iOS 13 include - New Sign-in with Apple ID feature enabling users to securely sign into apps and websites using their Apple IDs, faster and more responsive FaceID, more optimised apps, and more.
Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro launch, Samsung M40 price in India details, Oppo Reno India release, and OnePlus 7 sale date were some of the biggest tech news stories this week.

As expected, Apple announced its iOS 13 operating system for iPhones at the World Wide Developers Conference 2019 event. While leaks and rumours had given us a fair idea of what to expect, the company made many additional announcements and features for the new OS. The event started off with Apple revealing that iOS 12 has 97 percent customer satisfaction and a high adoption rate of 85 percent. The company also took a jab at Google, whose Android 9 Pie OS was touted to feature only 10 percent adoption rate. However, the session quickly moved on to detailing the new iOS 13 operating system, what new features it brings to the table and more. As this article’s headline reveals, Dark Mode will be officially available on iOS 13. The new dark scheme will be a system-wide implementation with all of Apple’s first-party apps sporting a darker hue. Additionally, there are multiple new features that will be coming in iOS 13 like performance improvements, a new swiping keyboard feature, privacy-centric options and much more. Here are the top ten features that will be rolled out for iPhone 6 Plus and above with iOS 13. iPhone SE and the iPod 7th gen will also be updated to the new OS.
Performance upgrades
iOS 13 is touted to deliver improved performance over iOS 12. Face ID is said to work 30 percent faster, which means unlocking iPhones should be faster as well. Additionally, the company is revamping the way apps are packaged so that app packages from the App Store would be up to 50 percent lighter and updates being 60 percent smaller. Apps are also touted to boot twice as fast as compared to iOS 12. All these new performance changes will be rolled out in the fall with iOS 13.
Dark Mode
Dark Mode is probably one of the most anticipated features to be added with iOS 13. The new system-wide colour scheme will be applied to all of Apple’s apps, along with the notifications and the dock. Apple showed off the News, Notes, Calendar and Photos apps that feature a dark theme, which certainly seems like it will be easier on the eyes. The notifications also feature a slightly glossy background with a translucent texture.
Privacy enhancements
Apple says it understands how important user privacy is and has made many changes to improve in this aspect with iOS 13. The company is revamping how apps are able to access a user’s location data. With iOS 13, a user will get to share their location data with an app “just once” so that the app is unable to access it repeatedly. Additionally, one can set background tracking alerts if they want to know when an app is using location data after being granted permission. Apps will also be barred from accessing Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth without permission to fetch user location.
Apple has also made a big announcement in terms of privacy with a “Sign in with Apple” option. This is basically similar to the login option from Facebook and Google we get with most apps. ‘Sign in with Apple’ is touted to be a faster and more secure way to sing into an app or service “without all the tracking.” Developers will be able to integrate the option with their app and users will get to tap it and authenticate with Face ID. This will enable logging in “without revealing any personal information.”
Additionally, for apps that require additional info, one can give out their name and/or email address. However, they can also choose to hide their email and in this case, Apple will create a random email address that will receive and forward mails it to the user’s Apple ID to prevent spamming. The feature will also work on the web and users will be able to disable these random emails that can be crafted for each app or service anytime they want.
Apple Maps updates
Apple apparently drove 4 million miles to rebuild maps from the ground up. It was shown off to feature more detailed data than before and there will also be new features added to the recently designed launch screen like pinning favourite places for quick access, and "collections" for organizing favourite places and sharing lists of places with friends, and more. There’s also a Lookaround feature, which is similar to Street View in Google Maps. Moving to Landscape mode will enable zooming down the street and one can tap on labels to learn more about new places. There will also be multiple other additions to Apple Maps that have been only outlined yet like a Junction View, ETA sharing, Real-time transit information and more. The new Apple Maps will roll out in the US in 2019, and for ‘select’ other countries next year.
Quick Path swiping actions for keyboard
While multiple third-party keyboard apps already offer the functionality to swipe and type, Apple’s native keyboard was devoid of it, till now. While not a big announcement, swiping actions are making their way to the native Apple keyboard app, which the company calls ‘Quick Path. If you have used SwiftKey, Gboard or Swype keyboard, you pretty much know how the feature works.
Revamped Reminders app
Reminders is being ‘reinvented’ with iOS 13 as the app is said to be rebuilt. Along with a revamped UI, It will feature new filtering options like “Today,” “Scheduled,” “Flagged,” and “All.” There will also be some AI based features that will enable users to simply type and the app will automatically suggest when you’d like to be reminded. Also, users will be able to tag contacts to be reminded while opening their thread in Messages. New additions to camera and image editing tools
Some new additions are coming for the camera app. The Portrait lighting mode is being updated and it brings new effects that enable adjusting the intensity of lighting effects. Apple says, “With iOS 13, Portrait Lighting adjustments can be made right in the Camera app to virtually move the light closer to sharpen eyes and brighten and smooth facial features, or push the light farther away to create a subtle, refined look. A new High-Key Mono effect creates a beautiful, monochromatic look for Portrait mode photos.”
Photo editing is also touted to become easier as users will be able to tap and drag on an attribute like sharpness or contrast to edit an image. This new editing UI will also be brought to videos and alongside using these new options, one will also be able to rotate, crop or apply filters to a video.
The new Photos app will use Machine Learning to organise images into different categories. The app is said to automatically hide unwanted images to render a cleaner overall look. There will be a new tab on the bottom and one will be able to Pinch to zoom in and out of an album. Images will be classified on the basis of Days, Months and Years at the bottom.
Messages and Memoji Stickers
Users will get to create a Memoji or Animoji and username for iMessages on iOS 13. Memojis will also feature new personalisation options like the ability to add makeup, accessories, hair, hats, AirPods, and more. In addition, there will be a new Memoji sticker pack that will be created automatically and placed alongside emojis in the keyboard app. All device running on A9 chip or later will support this feature.
Siri, AirPods and Radio updates in iOS 13
Siri is touted to get better with dictation in iOS 13. Using Neural TTS, Apple says the digital assistant will sound more natural. Additionally, the Siri Shortcuts app will be built in and users will be able to create Multistep shortcuts with suggested automations that are apparently based on a user’s habits. Siri will also now be able to read your incoming messages as they arrive when one is using AirPods. Finally, Apple is adding Live radio to iOS and the option is said to feature over 100,000 radio stations from around the world.
Support for external storage
Apple is finally bringing the option that enables iOS to pull files from USB drives and SD cards into the Files app.
Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is finally here and the company has started the proceedings of this four-day long event by announcing updates to the software that runs its AppleTV product, the tvOS. While talking on the stage at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, California, company CEO Tim Cook introduced a redesigned Home screen, multi-user support, Apple Music on tvOS, and support for PlayStation and Xbox controllers, among other new features. The company also introduced watchOS with new watch faces, App Store support and new health-related fucntionalities.

So, when a song is playing on your TV, you can read the lyrics on the screen and sing along your favourite singer. Apple also made a gaming-related announcement. The company said that when the tvOS 13 launches later this year, it will add support for Xbox One and PlayStation DualShock game controllers. It already supports Bluetooth controllers. Finally, Apple announced that it partnered with BBC’s natural history unit to shoot 4K HDR underwater footage for new screensavers.
The update builds on tvOS 12.3 that Apple released last month. The redesigned Apple TV app enabled users to see the new app on their iPhones and iPads as well. In the US, the app includes access to Apple TV channels like HBO, Starz, SHOWTIME, Smithsonian Channel, EPIX, Tastemade and new services like MTV Hits. In India, the Apple TV app features films from Hollywood, Bollywood, and other regional languages for rent and purchase.
watchOS 6:
At WWDC 2019, Apple introduced watchOS 6 update that takes a step forward in making the Apple Watch an independent device. The company has brought functionalities like App Store, voice memos, Books app for listening to audio books and Calculator with tip calculator on the wearable. The update also brings a bunch of new watch faces which include a sundial-styled Solar analog watch, an analog option called Modular Compact, an analog mix of Roman and Arabic numerals called California, new extra-large digital options, and Gradient.

Apple also added Activity Trends to the watch that will enable users to keep a tab on their activity and workouts. In case, the regular activity trend falls below average, the app will provide coaching to normalise the activity. There is an all new Noise app that will let users check ambient noise levels. In the health department, the watchOS6 offers a bunch of additions, including a Dose feature to provide pill reminders and Cycle Tracking, which will let women track menstrual cycles. The app is introduced on both watchOS and iOS. The company also announced “summer” bands, including a Pride watch band that matches a Pride watch face.
By now, each and every PUBG Mobile players may know that the developers have announced a partnership with the movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The partnership suggests that there might be some Godzilla-themed event coming to the game. As with the partnership of Resident Evil, the developers have started teasing the event in the form of little nods and easter eggs scattered through the various maps. These include murals as well as signs of Godzilla himself.

If you haven’t got a chance to check these out yet, here’s a quick guide on how you can see them for yourself.
Erangel
Erangel has two sets of Godzilla easter eggs. The first is on the spawn island itself. Head over to the eastern section of the map and look off into the horizon on the left side of the crashed aeroplane. You should see Godzilla’s spikes looking in the water. You can jump into the water and dive just below the water to get a better look at them.
The second easter egg is located just south of the Sosnovka Military Base, just where the beach begins. Towards the eastern side of the beach, you’ll come across something which resembles the ground being dug up. However, clamber to the top and you’ll realise that its actually a giant footprint. Possibly that of Godzilla himself.
Miramar
Miramar is packed with as many as four easter eggs. The first is located smack-dab in the middle of Los Leones. Head over to the construction site and you should come across a fairly large mural. The three heads suggest that it is possibly of King Ghidorah, Godzilla’s arch nemesis.
Two murals are found pretty close to each other. Both are located East of Impala, on the southern island. The first is located on the side of a building and appears to be of Mothra, a monster who is usually allied to Godzilla. The second is located northeast of this, just around the corner. This one depicts Godzilla himself.
The final mural is located on the starting island, on the Prison itself and is located on the roof of the largest structure. However, in order to see this mural, you will have to parachute into the roof as there is no direct access and it is painted on the ground. It is the second Mothra mural, which you can also investigate.
It is not yet known how exactly Godzilla would feature in PUBG Mobile. Back in January this year, PUBG Mobile players in China got to fight monsters as part of a Chinese New Year event. It is possible that we will get to see something along the same lines. However, we should have more information about the event tomorrow.
