According to an exclusive report by 91Mobiles citing Evan Blass, we get a brief look at the design of the upcoming ROG Phone 6. As per the images shared by Evan, the ROG Phone 6 picks up its looks from the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate flush with a white rear panel and a large triple camera cutout. The back of the phone also has the ROG Vision matrix display that is likely customizable as on the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate.

We also get a look at two ROG Phone 6 accessories: the Aero Active Cooler 6 and the Devilcase Guardian Lite Plus. The Aero Active cooler isn’t new though it seems it’s been redesigned with a larger fan outlet and RGB lights along with four additional trigger buttons. The Devilcase Guardian Lite Plus, however, is a new accessory for a ROG Phone and acts as a protective shell with cutouts for two shoulder buttons. Devilcase is a Taiwanese manufacturer of phone cases and its Guardian range of cases is said to be extremely durable.

Akash Ambani Succeeds Mukesh Ambani As The New Reliance Jio Chairman

Mukesh Ambani has resigned from the post of director of the Reliance Jio board and passed the baton to his elder son Akash Ambani who is the new chairman of the board. Mukesh Ambani, 65, resigned from the board on June 27 as per a recent stock exchange filing. Let’s learn about the new Chairperson of the Reliance Jio Infocomm. In other words, here are a few things you need to know about Akash Ambani.

Akash Ambani, The New Reliance Jio Chairman: What you need to know

Akash Ambani, 30 is the first-born child of Mukesh and Nita Ambani. He has two siblings viz. Anant Ambani and Isha Ambani. He got married to Shloka Mehta in 2020 and they have a son named Prithvi. He has a major in Economics from Brown University, the US. He was inducted as a director on Jio Platforms Ltd in 2020. Along with his siblings, he has been a board member of Reliance Retail Ventures too.

Akash’s appointment as Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm is said to be based on his role in the telecom company's development so far.  This reportedly includes his contributions toward the growth and expansion of Jio 4G services, India-centric Jiophone (2017), and Jio’s headway into cutting-edge technologies like AI, ML, and blockchain.  He apparently also played a major role in attracting huge investments from global giants involving the likes of Google.  He is expected “to continue to operate on the cutting-edges of innovation and technology to encourage an ecosystem that will further digital solutioning and make the power of data and technology more accessible to all, including those who are still at the margin”.  He further envisions the “convergence dividend’ for 500 million-plus consumers digitally and with high-inclusivity across geographies and income levels”.  Meanwhile, his father Mukesh Ambani will carry on the role of Chairman, Jio Platforms Ltd. which is the parent of all Jio digital platforms including Reliance Jio Infocomm.

Mr. Ambani is clearly making his succession moves, not to mention the wealth transfer. We will be keeping a close eye on the business tycoon, his family and how they impact the tech landscape.

MacBook Pro 13-inch Now with slower storage

It looks like the ‘sequel curse’ has hit Apple MacBooks, as there have been reports that the SSDs on their latest M2-powered laptops are performing at almost half the speeds compared to their M1 predecessors. This problem was discovered after the first batch of laptops hit the stores and were purchased by consumers. However, it seems to be limited to the base model 13-inch MacBook Pro, which got a processor upgrade this year.

In 2020, Apple launched their first set of M1-powered laptops, which included the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro. These laptops took no time to become fan favourites as their performance numbers were super impressive. Both these laptops got a processor upgrade this year when Apple announced their M2 chip. While the design of the MacBook Pro remained the same, Apple decided to overhaul the look of the MacBook Air. This put doubt in the minds of everyone about whether people would buy the base M2 MacBook Pro (13-inch) over the Air. Well, now, there seems to be another argument against the ‘Pro’ model.

This performance dip was first reported by YouTubers Max Tech and Created Tech. They got their hands on the M2 MacBook Pro (13-inch) and ran the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on the devices. From the tests, it was revealed that the base model M2 model, had 34 per cent slower write speeds than the M1 model, and the read speeds were down by 50 per cent. The strangest thing is that this performance dip was only noticed in the base 256 GB variant of the laptop, while the higher-end ones, with more storage, did not have this issue.

These were numbers reported by the YouTuber Max Tech from the tests:

M1 MacBook Pro: 2900 MB/s (read speed) and 2215 MB/s (write speed) M2 MacBook Pro: 1446 MB/s (read speed) and 1463 MB/s (write speed)

When Created Tech removed the back cover of the laptop, it was that Apple, instead of putting two 128 GB NAND chips in the base variant like last year, Apple had included only one 256 GB NAND Chip in the M2 model. This seems to be the most probable cause of the performance dip. However, the reason for this change remains under the wraps. One of the probable causes could be the global chip shortage that forced Apple to cut down the chip. Anyways there has been no communication from Apple yet. Now that this issue has been uncovered though, it will be interesting to see how Apple reacts to it.
