'New Nintendo Switch Pro' spotted briefly on Amazon

A new product listing for a "New Nintendo Switch Pro" was spotted briefly on Amazon Mexico, adding fuel to rumours that the Japanese manufacturer is gearing up to launch its new hardware soon. The listing didn't have anything else on it except for the name. As expected, it has been removed since then. There have been rumours that the next Nintendo Switch model will begin production in July, with a release scheduled around September or October. If these whispers are true, then we won't be surprised to hear more about the new Nintendo Switch in the coming months.

This new Switch will reportedly have a 7-inch 720p rigid OLED panel, which will be an upgrade to the current 6.2-inch LCD panel, and it will supposedly be capable of providing 4K graphics when docked to a 4K TV.

Jony Ive was involved in with the M1 iMac's design, but we don't know how much

Apple

It takes years to redesign a product, so it's not surprising that the revamped M1 iMac's design was crafted with the help of former design executive Jony Ive. According to Wiredhe was involved in this first new iMac redesign in a decade, but the company won't reveal when and how Ive was involved. Apple just said, "he had worked on it."

He left the company back in 2019 and then went off to put up an independent design firm called LoveForm. Apple was said to be a client of the company, but we don't know what that relationship is like.

Apple pushes back Podcasts subscriptions to June

Apple

Apple was supposed to roll out its Podcasts subscriptions this month. But after some creators ran into problems with the feature, the company has decided to push back its release to June to ensure they are "delivering the best experience for creators and listeners." Apple made this announcement to the creators via an email sent on Friday. Some of the issues included creators' inability to log into Apple's Podcast Connect portal or seeing delays in new episode availability. Apple said it fixed these "disruptions" already.

Apple's Podcasts subscriptions will offer subscribers to participating podcasts additional perks like early access to episodes and ad-free listening. The service will launch in 170 countries.
