Antigravity A1 8K 360 Drone

by

It’s nice to see competition for DJI in the drone space.  The dual lens system is really a great idea which allows the operator to focus less on framing and more on flying.  This drone has dropped already from $1600 to $1280 which perhaps indicates some difficulties for the company.  It’s hard to enter a competing space against solid and mature offerings.  Another nice feature is that when using the standard batter you’re able to stay under 249g.  Initial reviews seem promosing.

Mac Mini and Mac Studio with M5 Chips

by

There is a shortage Mac Minis and Mac Studios, especially those with larger RAM configurations.  Sometimes Apple stops producing the current models when new models are around the corner.  Or, this could just be a result of demand and the global RAM shortage.  Either way, there are a few indications that the Mac Studio models featuring the M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips could be announced in June (and released shortly after) with the updated Mac Minis likely coming in the fall.

iPhone Ultra (Foldable)

by

Apple’s first foldable phone is expected to be released September of this year. Reportedly Apple’s engineers are finally satisfied they’ve made a viable foldable that will endure and not break under regular usage (a perennial difficulty other foldable phones have had). We are very much looking forward to this and we’re curious if it will replace the need for an iPad.

Not much else is known at this time.

New Camera from Nikon

Nikon has registered a new N2324 camera. No one knows what this is yet (although many are hoping for a Z9 Mark II and some fear it’s an update to the Z30, a less popular offering).

We will keep on the watch for any new information about what this camera is.
