Android 15 Update Reportedly Bricking Some Users’ Pixel 6 Units

Android 15 Update Reportedly Bricking Some Users’ Pixel 6 Units


Android 15 was rolled out by Google to eligible Pixel smartphones last week, but it seems like the update has affected an older model — the Pixel 6. Some owners have reported that the latest software update has ‘bricked’ their smartphone, rendering it unusable. While some users claim that the issue occurred after they enabled a new feature introduced on Android 15, other users state that their handset stopped working while they were using it. The Pixel 6 was previously affected by a multi-user bug that also caused some units to get bricked.

Pixel 6 Owners Report Android 15 Update Bricked Their Handsets

Recent posts by users on Reddit (via Android Police) suggest that some Pixel 6 units have been affected by the Android 15 update, causing them to stop functioning. User u/GegoByte claims that they enabled the Private Space feature after updating their handset to Android 15, but the smartphone stopped working after unlocking and opening an app stored in the new secure area.

The user also says that Google’s technical instructions to reboot the phone weren’t working on their Pixel 6 unit. Another user responded to u/GegoByte’s post, stating that their phone stopped working while they were browsing Reddit, and that a technician was unable to repair the handset. 

Similarly, Reddit user u/Homer_95 states that their Pixel 6 Pro stopped working while using the handset with the battery level around 45 percent. The user also claims that they were unable to turn on the handset using Google’s troubleshooting tools, and edited their post to state that was related to the Private Space feature. Another user responded to the post, revealing that they faced the same issue with their Pixel 6 Pro.

However, it’s currently unclear whether the Private Space feature is affecting Pixel 6 owners, as some owners who never used the feature after updating to Android 15 are also complaining that their smartphones stopped working. User u/WesternConfection435 says that their Pixel 6 was bricked after the screen displayed two “blue static bars” at the top of their screen. They also claim that they were unable to use the smartphone as the display would not turn on after the incident.

This isn’t the first update related issue to affect Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners — the Android 14 update that rolled out to Pixel phones last year left several models unusable due to a storage bug. Google eventually rolled out a software update to affected models, which also included some Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro units.


Apple Begins Formal Development of MacBook Pro With M4 Chip: Gurman

Apple Begins Formal Development of MacBook Pro With M4 Chip: Gurman


Apple has reportedly started work on a new MacBook Pro model that is powered by a fourth generation Apple Silicon processor. The Cupertino company launched Mac computers with its M3 chip last year — its first processors built on the firm’s 3nm technology that was also used to produce the A17 Pro chip that powers the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This year’s Mac models, including the purported MacBook Pro, are expected to run on the next-generation M4 chip.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (via 9to5Mac) states that Apple has started work on its next MacBook Pro model that is expected to arrive as the successor to the M3-powered 2023 MacBook Pro. In the Q&A section of his Power On newsletter, Gurman responded to a user stating “[…] maybe I will snap up an M4 MacBook Pro, which by the way, just started formal development.”

Details of Apple’s M4 chip are scarce, but the processor is expected to be similar to the purported A18 Pro chip that is expected to power the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The company’s flagship iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are equipped with a 3nm A17 Pro chip, while its latest iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models are available with M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips.

It’s worth noting that it could be a while before Apple launches its next MacBook Pro model — it is yet to release M3-powered versions of its desktop Mac computers, unlike the aforementioned models. The company is yet to share any details of the next-generation processor, and it could be launched after the arrival of macOS 15, or even in 2025.

Last year, benchmark scores for Apple’s top-of-the-line M3 Max chip revealed that performance was much higher than its predecessor (the M2 Max) and on par with the M2 Ultra chip that was launched in 2022. During its ‘Scary fast’ launch event in October 2023, Apple claimed that the flagship M3 Max chip offered “up to 50 percent” better performance than the M2 Max. The M4 chip series is also expected to offer improved AI performance — macOS 15 (alongside iOS 18) is expected to bring several new AI features when it is released later this year.

Scooter Sales Outpace Bike Segment So Far By 18.4% YoY Growth In FY25: Report | Auto News

Scooter Sales Outpace Bike Segment So Far By 18.4% YoY Growth In FY25: Report | Auto News


Two-Wheeler Segment Sales: The two-wheeler (2W) segment, particularly scooters, registered strong growth this year in the country, outpacing the motorcycles segment, according to a report by Motilal Oswal. The report highlighted that the scooter segment within internal combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers posted 18.4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth year-to-date (YTD) in FY25. In comparison, the motorcycle segment recorded a lower, but still healthy, growth rate of approximately 13 per cent YoY during the same period.

“Within 2Ws, the ICE scooter segment has posted 18.4 per cent YoY growth YTD, the motorcycle segment has seen ~13 per cent YoY growth” said the report.

Overall, the report also noted that ICE two-wheeler segment continues to outperform, registering a solid 14.6 per cent YoY growth in YTDFY25. In contrast, the passenger vehicle (PV) segment recorded a muted 0.6 per cent YoY growth during the same period, highlighting the dominance of two-wheelers in the market.

It said “2W ICE segment continues to outperform, with 14.6 per cent YoY growth in YTDFY25, compared with muted 0.6 per cent YoY growth for PV segment”. The report highlighted divergent growth trends within the motorcycle segment. The 100cc motorcycle sub-segment underperformed, posting around 9 per cent YoY growth in FY25 so far. However, the 125cc segment stood out, delivering exceptional growth of approximately 20 per cent YoY.

Similarly, the 150-250cc segment demonstrated strong performance with about 17 per cent YoY growth on a YTD basis. The report data stated that the PV industry exhibited sluggish growth, expanding by just 0.9 per cent YoY in October 2024 and 0.6 per cent YoY in YTDFY25. However, within the PV segment, utility vehicles (UVs) continued to shine, with their contribution increasing to 64.8 per cent of the overall PV market.

While the two-wheeler segment has significantly outperformed passenger vehicles so far in FY25, the report cautioned that growth in the segment may moderate for the rest of the fiscal year.

Despite this, the strong performance of scooters and select motorcycle sub-segments highlights the ongoing demand and resilience of the two-wheeler market in India.

This data highlights the evolving dynamics in the automotive industry, where affordability and shifting consumer preferences are driving growth across certain segments while others face stagnation.

Microsoft to Shut Down Xbox 360’s Online Store Next Year: Details

Microsoft to Shut Down Xbox 360’s Online Store Next Year: Details


Microsoft said on Thursday it would pull the plug on Xbox 360’s online store and marketplace next year, as it focuses on its latest consoles and subscription service Game Pass.

Xbox 360 Store and Xbox 360 Marketplace will be shut on July 29, 2024, and gamers using the old console will not be able to purchase and download new games, according to a post on Xbox’s website.

Microsoft is, however, allowing users to play with their already purchased Xbox 360 games and older titles that are compatible with the console.

“A lot has changed since the Xbox 360 launched in 2005. Technology has evolved, expectations from players have shifted, and we are focused on making Xbox Series X|S the best place to play now and in the future,” Xbox said.

Microsoft stopped the production of Xbox 360 in 2016 and a year later launched Xbox Game Pass, a subscription gaming service that can be accessed on consoles and Windows platforms.

As part of its latest move, the Movies & TV app on the older console will also be removed.

Xbox 360 is regarded as one of the best-selling gaming consoles of all time, right up against Sony’s PlayStation 3. Microsoft had sold about 84 million units of Xbox 360 till 2014, which is when it stopped reporting its sales because of the launch of the successor Xbox One.

The Xbox 360 is well on its way out, but Microsoft already has sights on its next generation of consoles. Court documents from the FTC trial over the Xbox parent’s attempt to acquire Activision Blizzard revealed that the company believes the next generation of gaming consoles should be out in 2028. These include the next Xbox console and the PlayStation 6.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is introducing a new strike system to clamp down on toxic behaviour among its online players on Xbox. Players found exhibiting toxic behaviour such as using slurs, sending threats, and indulging in hateful conduct and bullying while gaming online can now be reported, following which they will receive strikes. Each strike comes with a period of ban from Xbox multiplayer services, and accumulating eight strikes would lead to a year-long ban.

Poco has shared a poster on the microblogging platform revealing the design and specifications of the new C series phone. The company has also disclosed the early bird pricing of the phone. It is confirmed to ship with a 50-megapixel dual camera unit and a 5,160mAh battery. The Poco C75 is expected to debut as a rebrand of the Redmi 14C. It will be available in two RAM and storage configurations.

Poco C75 Launch Date

The Poco C75 is all set to launch in global markets on October 25. It is confirmed to feature a 6.88-inch display and a 5,160mAh battery. It will carry a dual rear camera unit led by 50-megapixel main sensor.

As per the post, the Poco C75 will come with an early bird price of $109 (roughly Rs. 9,100) for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model and $129 (roughly Rs. 10,000) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version. As mentioned, the poster suggests that the handset will be available in three colour options — black, gold, and green — and a circular-shaped rear camera module resembling the design of the Redmi 14C.

Poco C75 is expected to feature the same hardware specifications as the Redmi 14C, which debuted in August with a price tag of CZK 2,999 (roughly Rs. 11,100) for the base model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and CZK 3,699 (roughly Rs. 13,700) for the 8GB + 256GB variant.

Like the Redmi 14C, the Poco C75 is expected to be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC. It is likely to carry a 13-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video chats. The handset could offer 18W charging support and include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.


Apple’s Latest Patent Application Reveals New Touchscreen iMac Design for Artists With Wireless Charging Station

Apple’s Latest Patent Application Reveals New Touchscreen iMac Design for Artists With Wireless Charging Station


In the recent past, Apple has reserved all of its touchscreen software interactions to its iPhones and iPads (iOS and iPadOS) while limiting its iMac and MacBook (macOS) software interactions to a mouse, keyboard and trackpad. While there have been many hardware mods designed to turn the iMac’s interface into a touchscreen one, these would be rather limited as the interface has not been designed keeping these touch interactions in mind. The closest an Apple MacBook ever came to a touchscreen implementation was in 2016, with the new Touch Bar feature introduced on its Pro laptop lineup, which was then replaced with regular function keys in 2023.

It was only with the recent macOS Ventura update in 2022 that macOS moved an inch closer to a touchscreen interface with an overhauled System Settings (previously System Preferences). It brought both iPadOS and MacOS on par in terms of design elements and also introduced a new mode called Stage Manager on MacOS (introduced a year prior with iPadOS 16), which helped organise opened apps better on both smaller (tablet) and larger (Mac) displays. Now, a freshly filed patent hints that Apple is working on adding a touchscreen on its iMac, a move that would complete the circle if launched in the near future.

A patent application (via Patently Apple) reveals a lot of ideas that Apple currently seems to be working on, that could possibly make their way to future products.

One figure illustrates a low-profile iMac design which appears very similar to a flat screen TV with no base stand, while a few others aim to show a built-in carry handle, which slides and hides into the all-in-one system’s display when not in use. Another image also reveals a handle mounted to the rear pivot (which lets the display tilt upwards or downwards) of what appears to be a new-age iMac model.

More interesting, are the next batch of images illustrating the same iMac display without a base stand, but mounted on to a dock device which apart from providing a small storage shelf-like area can also doubles up as a wireless charging stand for iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch and more. This dock device can also lift the monitor or iMac by a couple of inches.

Accompanying images in this batch also reveal appears to be a recently launched iMac but with touchscreen display. However this display has two hinges (much like a Microsoft Surface Studio, which allows the display to tilt back and sit down on the desk at various angles, making it convenient for artists.

The patent, filed on March 7, reportedly added 20 new claims which focused on a device stand system, a pivot mechanism and a device mounting system. One of these also mentions a pivot system that will actually let the display pivot from left to right, which has been a long-standing limitation on iMac models.


Apple unveiled its first mixed reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro, at its annual developer conference, along with new Mac models and upcoming software updates. We discuss all the most important announcements made by the company at WWDC 2023 on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Gameplay Reveal Trailer Showcases Sandbox-Like Campaign, ‘No Russian’ Mission

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Gameplay Reveal Trailer Showcases Sandbox-Like Campaign, ‘No Russian’ Mission


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III just got a gameplay reveal trailer — a slightly misleading title, given most of the footage is loaded with cinematics. Indeed, it is focused on the campaign, which sees Captain Price and his Task Force 141 take on the Russian ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov, as he extends his grasp across the world. Publisher Activision has introduced a new non-linear campaign structure called ‘Open Combat Missions,’ memorable multiplayer maps, and a Zombies mode set in an open world. Pre-orders for the game are now live across all major platforms.

In what began as a trilogy of soft reboots, the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer evokes memories of the Hunter Killer mission from the original 2011 title, where our team is submerged underwater, prepared to sneak their way into the enemy territory. While much of the action is presented stealthily, Activision stresses that there will be a level of freedom in how you decide to tackle a mission. In addition to the signature linear structure COD games are notorious for, this new iteration introduces ‘Open Combat Missions,’ which makes use of open-ended spaces to let the player decide if they want to take a stealthy approach with lights out and night-vision goggles or go in guns blazing. There’s more freedom for experimentation here — akin to a sandbox — as the game lets you replay missions with a new approach or loadout.

“Now we’re really leaning into our ability to have the engine adapt to the play style of the player. If you’re going to be totally quiet or go in guns blazing, the campaign will totally adapt and support however you want to play it,” David Swenson, creative director, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 told The Washington Post. The game even carries over some choice-based dialogue options from previous entries, but branches it out even further, so it reacts to player decisions. While revisiting a mission, if you happen to stumble upon a new sub-location, it might trigger new speech as well. The new feature is complemented by the multiplayer segment, which brings back 16 modernised maps from 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, alongside more large-scale areas such as a ‘colossal War map.’

The beloved Zombies mode also returns with an extended scope that throws you into an open world environment teeming with the undead of escalating difficulty. Taking the massive map into consideration, Modern Warfare 3 will — for the first time ever — let you team up with other squads in an all-out PvE battle. That means multiple online squads will unite in their mission to thwart the zombie invasion. Other new features include the ability to cancel sliding so you can erratically avoid enemy fire while still maintaining momentum, and content carry-over that makes it so weapons and cosmetics unlocked in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will be available in MW3, as well.
