Oppo K12s unveiled with Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC and 7,000 mAh battery

Oppo launched the K12 in China last April, and a year later, the brand introduced the ‘s’ model. However, the Oppo K12s isn’t an entirely new smartphone. It’s a version of the Oppo K13 introduced in India yesterday, but with NFC, more memory configurations, and an extra color option. Oppo K13 • Oppo K12s The Oppo K12s comes with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC, a 6.67″ 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED screen, and a 7,000 mAh battery with 80W charging support.

M2 iPad Air Runs Windows 11 ARM via Emulation, Thanks to EU Rules

A developer has demonstrated Windows 11 ARM running on an M2 iPad Air using emulation, which has become much easier since the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations came into effect.

NTDev shared an instance of the emulation on social media and posted a video on YouTube (embedded below) demonstrating it in action. The achievement relies on new EU regulatory changes that make it easier to sideload apps on iOS and iPadOS devices. Under the DMA, users can now download third-party app stores like “AltStore Classic,” which enables the installation of UTM with JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation support.

UTM is the technology that makes it all possible, and emulates Windows 11 inside iPadOS by translating Windows code into ARM instructions as it runs. Technically, iPadOS restricts direct virtualization for third-party apps, but JIT compilation allows Windows 11 to boot and function smoothly without requiring jailbreak access. NTDev credits AltStore’s StikDebug helper app for enabling JIT compilation in the background.

NTDev improved performance by using Tiny11, a stripped-down version of Windows 11 that removes bloatware and reduces system requirements. This optimized version requires less RAM and storage than standard Windows 11. The developer says it runs “quite decently,” although judging by the video, the performance isn’t good enough for it to be a PC replacement.

This isn’t the first time Windows 11 has been demoed running on a tablet. Microsoft’s operating system has previously been successfully booted on OnePlus and Xiaomi Android devices.

Ping Pong Club : enfin une app de tennis de table pour le Vision Pro

Le tennis de table est un sport qui se prête bien à la VR, et Eleven Table Tennis revient régulièrement dans les classements des jeux les plus populaires sur les casques Quest et consorts. Les propriétaires de Vision Pro vont également pouvoir se faire une petite partie grâce à Ping Pong Club, une app gratuite permettant de jouer en solo ou en multijoueur. Vidéo WatchGeneration L’application est assez simple, permettant de choisir entre 4 modes de difficultés et de jouer en VR ou en réalité mixte. La raquette apparaît dans une main, la balle dans l’autre, et il n’y a plus qu’à affronter le joueur (invisible) en face. Comme le casque ne dispose pas de manettes, la raquette se contente de suivre l’inclinaison de la main. Les mouvements sont donc limités et il faudra faire une croix sur certaines techniques, mais cela reste jouable, d’autant plus que la physique de la balle est très correcte. J’ai joué une quinzaine de minutes et me suis bien amusé : les sensations sont bonnes et on se…

iPhone 17 Pro Allegedly Coming in Sky Blue Color Used for MacBook Air

Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 Pro in a new Sky Blue color, the same color that debuted on the latest M4 MacBook Air models Apple released in March. That’s according to the leaker Majin Bu.

Writing on his website, Bu claims that “sources close to the supply chain confirm that several iPhone 17 Pro prototypes have been made in various colors, with Sky Blue currently the frontrunner.” Bu goes on to say that it “looks even more stunning than the much-loved Sierra Blue of the iPhone 13 Pro, with a brightness and refinement that make it irresistible.”

The Sky Blue finish on the MacBook Air is not very saturated, and the color’s appearance can vary based on lighting conditions. Apple describes it as “a beautiful, metallic light blue that creates a dynamic gradient when light reflects off of its surface.”

Apple has stuck to muted colors for its recent iPhone “Pro” models made from titanium, and it offered a new Desert Titanium color for the iPhone 16 Pro, which also comes in Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium.

Majin Bu accurately revealed the “Desert Titanium” color name for iPhone 16 Pro models seven months before the devices launched. However, some of his information has been wrong, including a rumor about an iPad 11 being imminent in 2023.

This is the first rumor about iPhone 17 colors that we’ve covered. Assuming for now its accuracy, would you be interested in an iPhone 17 in the Sky Blue color Apple has already used for the MacBook Air? Let us know in the comments.
