The OnePlus 8T is finally here and sits comfortably between the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro when it comes to specifications and pricing, too. The 8T gets the 8's launch price at $1,099. Meanwhile, the 8 now has a starting price of $899, and the 8 Pro starts at $1,149. 

Unlike its predecessors and the OnePlus Nord, the OnePlus 8T doesn't come with Facebook Services pre-installed, which might be good news to you. So, if you want the Facebook app, Messenger, and Instagram, you'll have to download these yourselves.

Canon PowerShot Zoom lets you appreciate nature up close

When was the last time you bought a compact camera? Canon knows it's been a while since you even considered getting one, so it's trying a new approach with its latest device. The new PowerShot Zoom is described as a "compact telephoto monocular" that looks more like a golf rangefinder than a camera or camcorder. Aside from being a camera, Canon describes it as a viewer for "hiking, birdwatching, and nature gazing."

It has a compact form factor, so don't expect it to have top-of-the-line specs. It can take 12-megapixel photos and record 1080p video with a 100-3200 ISO range saved to a microSD card. It has a relatively small 1/3-inch sensor with an f/5.6-6.3 lens, supporting 100mm or 400mm focal lengths and a digital zoom of up to 800mm.

Apple unveiled new cases and a new wireless charger to pair with the new iPhone 12 series. The smartphone cases for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are marked as "New," but you can't add them to cart yet. There's the Silicone Case that comes in eight colours and the Clear Case. Both support MagSafe and retail for $69. The cases for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max are still marked as coming soon, but those are priced the same as the other smartphone cases.

If you just want the Leather Wallet to attach to the iPhone's back, that retails for $79. The MagSafe charger goes for $55. Using the MagSafe charger will be the only way to get 15W fast wireless charging on the new iPhones. But it does still support any Qi-compatible chargers, but your charging speeds will be down to 7.5W.
