Tesla introduces an all-electric Cyberquad for kids

Tesla has quietly introduced a new four-wheel ATV built for kids. The Cyberquad for Kids is available to order from Tesla's site in the US for US$1,900 (around CA$2,440 converted). This pint-sized Cyberquad is built for kids ages eight years old and up. 

It comes with a steel frame, cushioned seat, and adjustable suspension with rear disk braking. It even has LED light bars to complete that cyberpunk aesthetic. It reaches a top speed of 10mph, and it has three speed settings: 5mph, 10mph, and 5mph in reverse. The battery has up to 15 miles of range and needs up to five hours to complete a charge. Battery range can be affected by factors like a user's weight, the riding terrain, and the speed setting.

'Pokémon Go' is now playable at higher frame rates on iOS

Niantic has rolled out new updates to the Pokémon Go app, and for iOS users, you now have the option to play the game at higher frame rates. There's a new option that lets you "unlock your device's native refresh rate for higher FPS." The developer didn't mention the feature specifically in the changelog, so it might fall under the "various quality-of-life improvements" section. You can enable the functionality in the game's advanced settings. It'll show "native refresh rate unlocked" when it's enabled.

The feature is disabled by default, so you'll need to dig in the settings to access it. Before this update, players needed to use workarounds to get Pokémon Go running at 60 frames per second instead of 30fps. With this development, iPhone 13 Pro users can enjoy the game at 120fps. It'll work with older iPhones, but the hardware might not be able to handle it.

Google might finally launch an in-house smartwatch in 2022

Next year might be the year we see Google release a smartwatch it's built. The claim comes from an unidentified person familiar with the matter and an Insider report. Google has its wearable platform since 2014, but this marks the first time the company is venturing into making hardware for the space.

The watch is codenamed Rohan and reportedly developed by Google's Pixel hardware team separate from Fitbit. It is unclear if the wearable will be called the Pixel Watch, but it will serve a similar purpose to the Pixel phones: showing an example to consumers and hardware partners what Google's software can do with the right hardware. It's expected to cost more than a Fitbit and will compete more directly with the Apple Watch, according to The Verge's source.
