Another week down, so let’s recap. Apple has released brilliant operating system updates on the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. For those devices that are not eligible for iOS 16, Apple has also released iOS 15.7. And for iPad users, iPadOS 16 will come later, it has been delayed due to issues with Stage Manager’s new multitasking feature.

Sony has announced a special Xperia 1 IV Gaming Edition with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage and the bundled Xperia Stream accessory. The accessory connects to your phone via USB-C and carries a full-sized HDMI port along with a LAN port, headphone jack, and USB-C port on top.

It has no additional buttons or joysticks, so you are still playing on the phone display. Xperia 1 IV Gaming Edition retails for JPY 175,000 which converts to $ 1,225. It is already available for pre-order in Japan from Sony and Docomo.

Apple’s A16 chip was tested on AnTuTu and recorded an impressive 28% improvement in its GPU score over the A15. Meanwhile, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 14 Plus shows weaker demand than even the iPhone mini series which has been discontinued due to poor sales.

Google has teased the colors of its next Pixel 7 through whimsical potato chips in Japan: Snow Cheese is the white one (Snow), Hazel Onion is the dark sage-slash-olive color (Hazel), Salty Lemon is the yellow variant (Lemongrass), and Obsidian Pepper is the black one (obsidian). Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will arrive on October 6th.

The 200MP sensor of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was detailed this week. It is reportedly “100% confirmed” to have 0.6µm pixels on a 1 / 1.3 “sensor with an f / 1.7 aperture in front.

We have seen the first renders of the OnePlus 11 Pro. It will have a circular camera module with three cameras, still no details on those, but we also see a warning slider, which was notoriously missing from the OnePlus 10T.

Those were the key stories of the week, but you can check out the full list below. I’ll see you next week!
