YouTubes Full-Screen Video Player Now Has A New User Interface

YouTube, owned by Google, is introducing a new layout for its Android and iOS mobile applications full-screen player. The new UI makes it simpler for users to Like, Dislike, Comment, and Share videos. The new interface places buttons for all of these functions directly on the video, eliminating the need for users to swipe up or shut the full-screen window to share, like, or hate a video and do other things with it.

The new feature (spotted by 9to5Google) is only visible while viewers are watching a video in full-screen mode. Aside from that, there has been no modification or update to the YouTube app on either Android or iOS. In landscape mode, the new update also makes it easier to see the comments area alongside the video. Before the upgrade, viewers had to touch on the comments area to access the comments or minimise the video to open it. Users may now switch to full-screen mode and access them by touching the comment button.

The new YouTube UI has already begun to be rolled out to Android and iOS users. The modifications are visible on our Android smartphone. If the function has not yet arrived on your smartphone, we recommend that you wait a few days.

YouTube has introduced yearly subscription levels for YouTube Premium and YouTube Music users. Users will be able to pay for their YouTube membership in a 12-month non-recurring subscription at once using these arrangements. The new plans were only available in a few countries, including India and the United States, and YouTube is presently giving a discount for yearly subscriptions.

Users can choose for yearly subscriptions at a lower cost with the initial promotional discounted pricing through January 23. The yearly plan for YouTube Premium costs Rs 1,159 under the deal, while the annual plan for YouTube Music Premium costs Rs 889.

Apple iPhone SE 3 Pricing Hinted at by Imported Testing Units

Apple’s first event of the year is expected to be held in the month of March or April. In this spring event, the company is rumored to launch the “widest array” of products including possibly new iPhones, iPads, iMac, redesigned Macbook Air, Apple Watches, and AirPods. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has predicted the debut of an iPhone SE 3 and iPad Air 5 with flagship chipset and other improvements. Adding confidence to this is a recent report from 91Mobiles that states new iPhones and iPads have been imported to India for testing purpose.

The report claims to have spotted multiple models of the iPhone SE 3, a new iPad Air, as well as an entry-grade iPad. What’s more is that the listed price on the iPhone SE 3 appears to be around $300 (which translates to  approximately Rs 23,000).

Here’s everything the report divulges:

iPhone SE 3 leaked pricing from the imported testing units 

The three iPhone SE 3 models that have been spotted carry model numbers — A2595, A2783, and A2784.

While the source of the report hasn’t specified the name of the iPhone, it is speculated that it is the long-rumored Apple iPhone SE 3.

From some of the past reports, we have learned that the device could come with a design reminiscent of the iPhone SE 2. Not only that, it is said to present a 4.7-inch screen with thick bezels and a Touch ID sensor on the front. Meanwhile, there are also speculations that the device could upgrade to a newer notched fascia akin to an iPhone XR. Further, it is likely to measure 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3mm (8.2mm with the camera bump). 

Internally, it could ship with either Apple’s A14 Bionic or A15 Bionic processor coupled with 5G capability.

That’s more or less what we know about this iPhone SE 3. And as for the iPads, two models with A2588 and A2589 numbers have been spotted with price tags ranging between $500 and $700 (approximately ₹37,500 to ₹52,300). This may be the iPad Air update. Also, there is this entry-level model allegedly priced at $300 (apprximately ₹22,500), that could tag along.

Needless to say, the original pricing could very well differ from the mentioned tags of these import units. And so, you are advised to take the details mentioned with a pinch of salt.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Prices Have Leaked Ahead Of Launch And It May Excite You

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is right around the corner, i.e., on February 9, 2022 and we are expecting three phones viz. Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. Ahead of this event, we have got plenty of leaks and rumors revealing almost everything about them. We have seen their design, specs and just recently, there were some reports claiming that the US prices of the Galaxy S22 phones will be $100 higher than their predecessors. However, quashing those earlier reports, Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech claims that the starting pricing of Samsung Galaxy S22 series will remain the same as the Galaxy S21 phones.

Alleged Samsung Galaxy S22 Series’ Pricing Laid Bare

Mr. Prosser claims the final pricing of the standard Galaxy S22 would start at $799, the Galaxy S22+ at $999 and the Galaxy S22 Ultra at $1,199.

And if that gives you déjà vu, you'll be feeling right as they are the same starting prices at which last year’s Galaxy S21 handsets had debuted. 

Here’s the price list of the Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup in the US:

Galaxy S21 128GB: $799 Galaxy S21 256GB: $849 Galaxy S21+ 128GB: $999 Galaxy S21+ 256GB: $1049 Galaxy S21 Ultra 128GB: $1,199 Galaxy S21 Ultra 256GB: $1,249 Galaxy S21 Ultra 512GB: $1,379

Now note that this claim is reserved for US pricing only and we are not sure how Samsung would price the Galaxy S22 family in India.

Speaking of which, the Indian prices of the Galaxy S21 trio had been so at launch:

Galaxy S21 128GB: ₹69,999,  Galaxy S21 256GB: ₹73,999 Galaxy S21+ 128GB: ₹81,999  Galaxy S21+ 256GB: ₹85,999 Galaxy S21 Ultra 256GB: ₹1,05,999 Galaxy S21 Ultra 512GB: ₹1,16,999

Historically, the previous-gen Galaxy flagships tend to get a price cut with the launch of their successors. So, if history repeats itself, you may be able to grab the Galaxy S21 models at discounted prices post the arrival of the Galaxy S22 series. So, keep an eye out for the same.

In related news, the vanilla Galaxy S22 and its elder sibling the Galaxy S22 Plus may delay reaching the stores due to the ongoing chip crisis. However, the Galaxy S22 Ultra might get a headstart as it is expected to ship about two weeks ahead of the other two.
