Xiaomi's concept smart glasses have a MicroLED display

Xiaomi imagines what it wants smart glasses to look like with this new concept. The Xiaomi Smart Glasses feature a conventional glasses-like design. But, unlike the recently launched Facebook and Ray-Ban Stories, these get a display you can use for augmented reality features. 

Xiaomi adds a monochrome MicroLED system into these glasses. Xiaomi opted for this display tech because it has "higher pixel density and longer lifespan while having a simpler structure" than OLED. The company also says it "allows for a more compact display, as well as easier screen integration." MicroLED is considered a successor to OLED. But it is still prohibitively expensive at the moment.

No, we aren't talking about iOS 15 or any other next-generation operating system upgrade from Apple. But you will need to update your devices to the latest updates to patch up a security flaw in your Apple gadgets. The company has released an emergency update to patch the security flaw that allowed Israel's NSO Group's Pegasus spyware to infect a target's Apple device, including all the devices we've mentioned in the title.

Security researchers from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab discovered and released a report detailing the exploit. Apple was notified about the exploit on September 7 and worked out that fix until today's release. While you might not be a target of these malicious entities, it's best to update, so you don't leave your gadgets vulnerable.

Apple M1X MacBook Pros expected to hit shelves in 'the next several weeks'

While Apple is gearing up to launch the new iPhone and Watch series, there are also reports surrounding the next-generation MacBook Pros. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman wrote in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter that the long-awaited 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros running on M1X processor will be hitting shelves in "the next several weeks."

But the new MacBook Pros aren't expected to be announced during Tuesday's event; Gurman believes there will be a different event for the Mac and iPad. The MacBook Pro will reportedly get a new flat-edged design similar to the latest iMac, iPad Pro, and iPhone 12 designs. This laptop will also reportedly feature an HDMI port and SD card slot, along with MagSafe tech for magnetic charging.

One of the new things you can expect from Apple's upcoming California Streaming event is an iPhone with an even larger storage capacity. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a new investor report ahead of the September 14 launch claiming that the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will each get 1TB storage options. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini will get 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. There doesn't seem like a 64GB option.

Other products expected at the launch include the AirPods 3, Apple Watch 7, and the iPad Mini. The event will happen at 1 pm ET on September 14.
