    There are fans, and then there are FANS. What makes one different from the other is simply the extent of their admiration and devotion for the person they idolise. Now, when it comes to India, only two things witness such crazy fan following - Bollywood and cricket.

    In the field of cricket if there is one man who has been enjoying unparalleled popularity over the years that even a retirement declaration couldn’t dull, it has to be former Indian skipper MS Dhoni. The guy has a massive fan following in the country and while millions might call themselves superfans of Mahi, there is one who keeps making headlines because of it.

    MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings fan Gopi Krishnan is yet again in the news for having taken his craze for Dhoni to another level. Hours ago, Krishnan’s newly done up house in Tamil Nadu’s Arangur made its way to social media and it’s enough proof to say that Krishnan surely takes his love for Captain Cool rather seriously.

    Krishnan has painted his house in vibrant CSK colours and named it ‘Home of Dhoni Fan’. What’s more, the facade of the house is also adorned by mural paintings of Dhoni himself! Speaking to ANI, Krishnan said, “I'm a huge fan of Dhoni. Negative comments are made for him now. People forget he's one of the best finishers in cricket. So I did it.”

    Despite earning criticism for his performances of late, Dhoni Fans continue to swear by him and this incident reaffirms the same. Fellow Dhoni and CSK fans have also been impressed by Krishnan’s devotion and took to Twitter to express it.
    @msdhoni is not only a cricketer but a feeling for everyone. His fan following and his popularity among fans are incomparable. I would say he has surpassed @sachin_rt popularity. Never seen so much madness of someone. What u think? @vikrantgupta73 @SushantNMehta @SwetaSinghAT
    — Kiran Lukram (@lukram93) October 14, 2020There is no competition to Chennai and Tamilians in showing love to their favourite star. We have seen this earlier with great Rajni Sir and now with cricket legend MS. There is one thing in common in these two gentlemen, both have won stardom by winning heart of their fans.

    — Md Zeeshan (@Iluvshaan) October 14, 2020Love for CSK & Dhoni is on another level!
    — Captain (@iEatCricket) October 14, 2020This is the kind of fandom that #CSK is blessed with. So stop hating on the team, and get on the support bandwagon!

    Still have half a more season to play through, so let's keep the roars loud, our belief strong, our hopes high, and aim for that #Playoffs. #Yellove
    — Aditya Singh Rawat (@Catslayer_999) October 13, 2020This is so sweet and a real example of being a fan!

    India is well-known for its obsession with cricket over the years. And, when it comes to the biggest star the country has ever produced, Sachin Tendulkar is the name that quickly comes to mind. But, while Tendulkar surely remains a fan-favourite even after his retirement, there is little doubt over the legacy of MS Dhoni in Indian cricket.

    The former Indian captain arguably remains one of the most popular and undeniably the most scrutinised cricketers in the country. Whether he's finishing the innings with a six or getting out for single-digit scores, taking DRS calls like a pro or staying mum over his retirement calls, no matter what Dhoni does, it seems that the Jharkhand cricketer just can't catch a break.

    Often a victim of unfair expectations, Dhoni is witnessing the same story unfold, that followed him like a shadow throughout his international career, in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite beginning their campaign with a win, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have looked like a shadow of the three-time IPL champions fans have cherished over the years.

    In the eight matches they've played so far, the Dhoni-led CSK have lost as many as five matches with just three wins for their showing. Owing to the turn of events for CSK, Dhoni, as expected, continues to draw flak. He's been pinned down as a captain and batsman who's been lacking the intent to win. He has been slammed for making poor decisions on the field. But the scrutiny isn't just restricted to Dhoni.

    The fact that Dhoni's five-year-old daughter Ziva has attracted something as abhorrent as rape threats on social media, goes on to show just how obsessed cricket enthusiasts in India are with the same man who was cherished for over 15 years for his unmatched contribution to Indian cricket. But, like Dhoni, we, too, know that scrutiny will never stop chasing him - something that once again was on full display last night.
    For a team that had been on a slump, Chennai couldn't have done better than edging-past Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to eke out a much-needed 20-run win in Dubai. Chasing a total of 167 runs, Hyderabad, despite a brilliant Kane Williamson (57) fifty, could only manage to finish at 147/8 in 20 overs. But, Chennai's third win of the season was marred with a bit of controversy.
    FairPlay award goes to #CSK pic.twitter.com/ZiRUIaMCiu
    — (@Kourageous__) October 13, 2020
    In the 19th over of Hyderabad's chase, Shardul Thakur was trying to keep the ball away from the batsman's reach by bowling wide off the stumps. The second ball of the over saw Shardul sticking to his plan of bowling wide outside the off-stump. 
    The ball had pitched outside the line and on-field umpire Paul Reiffel was spreading his arms out to deem it wide when he suddenly changed his mind, perhaps after watching Dhoni and Shardul protest in anger.
    The turn of events, once again, brought Dhoni in the spotlight where fans have accused him of bullying Umpire Reiffel into changing his decision. But, is Dhoni really to be blamed here? Nah, we don't think so.
    Such a mockery of game, pathetic! Dhoni keeps bullying umpires and gets away with it. I have just lost count of it. Storming into ground whenever he wants and getting furious at umpires for calling the decisions, if no actions yet, joke is on Indian cricket. Shameful!
    — Rajguru (@rajgurusj123) October 13, 2020
    For starters, Dhoni has an impeccable reputation in the cricketing world for being just and fair. For someone who enjoyed immense success at DRS calls, Dhoni neither appeals unnecessary, nor he's ever been seen sabotaging the spirit of the game. It is because of that Dhoni has earned respect in the cricketing world. And, that's probably why Umpire Reiffel changed his decision, thinking he might have erred.
    Even if that's the case, Dhoni, just like any player on the field, has every right to appeal, protest or express displeasure over the umpire's decision. And, in this case, the Chennai captain wasn't wrong in his actions. 
    He can surely be reprimanded for dissent against the umpire's decision, but blaming him for Reiffel's change in decision is just absurd.
    Paul should have given that wide if he felt it was a wide. No other way about it. Cannot give it to anyone. No matter who they are
    — Nikhil (@CricCrazyNIKS) October 13, 2020
    Now, that Dhoni is out of the picture, it's just Umpire Reiffel who is really responsible for the error. The 54-year-old is an experienced umpire who is currently a member of ICC's Elite Panel. 
    There is no way that an umpire can or should succumb to the pressure created by the players on the field. No matter how animated players get in their appeal, you'd never see an umpire change their decision. And, in this case, Reiffel shouldn't have either.
    If #MSDhoni has to decide everything, then why umpires are standing there....

    Ohh #MSDhoni be like umpiring bhi main kar leta hu, aap #Dream11 pe team banaao.

    This is not what we like to see... Player is telling umpire what to do...#BCCI #Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/ibNBawSlkZ
    — Shivam Chauhan (@ShivamC57471811) October 14, 2020
    This isn't the first time when Dhoni lost his cool over an umpiring decision. Last season, he stormed onto the field during a tense IPL game to contest an umpiring call. Owing to his actions, Dhoni was subsequently fined 50 per cent of his match fee. 
    In this case, too, Dhoni may or may not attract a fine but his actions don't even matter solely because the umpires aren't supposed to be influenced by players on the field, no matter who they are. 
    So, if anyone is to be blamed here for the bad decision, it is Umpire Reiffel, not Dhoni.

    Helmed by MS Sripathy, there is already so much buzz around the yet-to-be-released movie 800 on social media - a Tamil film that features Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role of the Sri Lankan spin legend, Muttiah Muralitharan. 
    © Reuters
    Many of them expressed anger about a Tamil actor wearing the Sri Lankan flag on his jersey. 

    Here’s how people on Twitter reacted to the development: 
    The flag that kills thousands of Tamils, give death threats, treat the minorities as second class...what an audacity that @VijaySethuOffl is proud to bear that blood stain flag on his chest. You are a sell out.#ShameOnVijaySethupathi #BoycottVijaysethupathi pic.twitter.com/tlGIGxPJqQ

    — அதியன் கார்த்திᵀᴬᴹᴵᴸ ᴺᴬᵀᴵᴼᴺᴬᴸᴵˢᵀ (@athiyankarthi) October 14, 2020 In many of the videos that people shared on Twitter, they brought to attention the cricketer’s unabashed statement allegedly denying the ‘genocide’ of Tamils in the clashes that ended with the government's victory in 2009.  
    Muralitharan had then received flak for his statement and for expressing his support to the ruling Rajapaksa family.  
    However, some of Vijay's fans also came forward to the actor’s rescue: 
    #ShameOnVijaySethupathi

    Are you guys lost your minds? How can he act in a role without mentioning Sri Lanka? #MuthiahMuralidaran

    Talking about the upcoming movie, Muttiah Muralitharan said in an interview, 
    “I am honoured that an accomplished actor such as Vijay Sethupathi will be playing me in the film. I have been actively collaborating with the creative team for the past several months, and I will continue to support this project through its duration.” Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi had said, 
    “I am delighted that Murali himself will be closely involved with the project and guiding me on the cricketing aspects. I am thankful to both Murali and the producers for the faith bestowed on me.” Don’t forget to tell us your thoughts on this in the space below. How excited are you for the film?

    Every single day there's a new thing being boycotted online and honestly, it's absolutely exhausting. 

    How do people have so much time to get offended over almost everything? How can people end up getting offended over an ad showing a loving family?
    © Tanishq
    We've seen in the past few days the rollercoaster that the Tanishq ad controversy has been and it's not dying down anytime soon, even after the ad was withdrawn by the jewellery company.

    The topic, obviously, divided the people of the country with one side calling it 'love jihad' and the other seeing the communal harmony in the ad. It's safe to say that even though it's 2020, India hasn't progressed enough for an ad like that.

    With so much outrage going around, someone on Twitter sarcastically suggested that why don't the people who are enraged by the ad start boycotting biryani next!

    Open challenge: Boycott biryaani if you can!
    — seemi pasha (@seemi_pasha) October 13, 2020
    Uh oh, no points for guessing that it did not end well, that much is obvious. 
    Again, the conversation spiralled out of control and ended up with a discussion of the origins of rice. Yep.
    The assumption is that Biryani is a Muslim Dish, which Mughal brought it with em from Persia/Turkey.

    Alas, there is hardly any rice-growing region in that area. Something which is a common sense and missing.

    Biryani is an Indian dish. Which at best Mughal Army modified it. https://t.co/aIHdvQhNXX
    — Vikrant ~ विक्रांत (@vikrantkumar) October 14, 2020
    Uhh, red flags.
    No no, the assumption is NOT that. That's where we err by discussing Biryani. It's not about Biryani or Urdu or Taj Mahal or facts related to those. It's reflection of a supremacist mindset. Where Hindus must forever feel indebted to a superior set of people who gave them so much https://t.co/5k75U4MiSQ
    — Rahul Roushan (@rahulroushan) October 14, 2020
    Uhh, part two.
    Why shud we boycott Biryani which is our own Hindu civizational dish?

    You plagiarised our Pulao (Pulaka in Sanskrit) by giving it Persian name (Biryani) just as you did with many Hindu things, which Left legitimises.

    So logically/morally, U shud boycott Biryani as it not yours. https://t.co/QXKC0vdPi7
    — M. Nageswara Rao IPS (@MNageswarRaoIPS) October 14, 2020
    This is my favourite tweet just because it implies that biryani was 'discovered'.
    Biryani never discovered by Mughals. As usual they stole and renamed it. @TIinExile Guruji will teach you your fraudulently created history about biryani also. https://t.co/tgcoVhD7zE
    — Suman Kaul Sharma🇮🇳 Brutalized HINDU (@SumanSh58123278) October 14, 2020 No, it hasn't been. Biryani has been rejected by Hindus Long ago

    Well, I haven't had biryani since 20 years. ( not boycotted, but didn't have)

    Now I have decided never to have biryani!

    — Bharatiya Hindu🇮🇳 (@Ramuiyer) October 14, 2020 Good point. Don’t know why Sanghis are getting so upset about my Biryani tweet! Relax guys...no one is taking your Biryani away from you

    PS: he’s right. Biryani represents a mix of culture & food traditions. The same mix that was shown in the Tanishq ad...it’s what makes India beautiful https://t.co/jAa4BKZExD
    — seemi pasha (@seemi_pasha) October 14, 2020 I can get behind this. Open challenge: Boycott all Boycotts.

    As the country limps back to normalcy, the government has decided to re-open theatres after being shut for more than six months. The Government of India issued new guidelines for 're-opening' of cinema halls/multiplexes. And the list of Bollywood movies which will be releasing this week has also been announced.
    Taran Adarsh tweeted the official announcement of these six Bollywood movies, all of which will be re-releasing.
    As cinemas ready to reopen their doors from this week onwards, the list of #Hindi films scheduled for re-release this week is OFFICIALLY announced...
    ⭐️ #Tanhaji
    ⭐️ #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan
    ⭐️ #Malang
    ⭐️ #Kedarnath
    ⭐️ #Thappad
    More films will be scheduled in coming days. pic.twitter.com/4Dm7xCjIlG
    — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) October 14, 2020
    Here's more about the six movies that will be re-releasing in the theatres this week.
    1.  Tanhaji : The Unsung Warrior 
    Helmed by Om Raut, the film pays tribute to the unsung hero Tanaji Malusare who fought alongside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a military leader in the Maratha army. Ajay Devgn plays Tanaji Malusare while Kajol is seen as his wife Savitribai Malusare. Saif Ali Khan makes for a daunting antagonist as Udaybhan Singh Rathore.
    2. Kedarnath 
    Kedarnath is a love story of a Hindu tourist played by Sara Ali Khan and a Muslim porter (pithoo) played by Sushant Singh Rajput. The film is set in the backdrop of the devastating Uttarakhand floods that took several thousand lives in 2013.
    3. Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
    In Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar had teamed up to address the issue of homosexuality in a light-hearted, humourous way.
    4. Thappad 
    The movie raised the burning question of how important a woman’s self-respect is and Taapsee Pannu had done a brilliant job in portraying the protagonist who’s not ready to give in to age-old practices of ‘adjust karna padta hai’ culture.
    5. Malang 
    Malang, directed by Mohit Suri is a crime thriller featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Disha Patani as serial killers, while Anil Kapoor and Kunal Khemmu play cops.

    The film brings to screen the journey of PM Narendra Modi — from a chaiwala at a railway station to finally becoming the leader of the world’s largest democracy.
    People aren’t very pleased with the decision of re-releasing these films however, and they are also upset with how Sushant Singh Rajput’s Kedarnath is being used to lure people into coming to theatres.

    People in our country are still seeking permission and fighting for the freedom to love whoever they want to. Even though we have come a long way, this specific journey is extraordinarily long. Recently, the Delhi High Court has asked the Central government’s advice on two pleas by same-*** couples.

    According to PTI, one of the couples wants to get married under the Special Marriage Act and the other couple wants to register their wedding in the USA under the Foreign Marriage Act.
    © BCCL
    Justices RS Endlaw and Asha Menon have issued a notice to the center and Delhi government to know their point of view on the pleas of same-*** couples wanting to get married. Also, the court sent a notice to the Centre and the Consulate General of India in New York for the plea of two men who got married in the USA but couldn’t register under the FMA.

    These are such bizarre issues that two people who are in love shouldn’t face irrespective of being a same-*** couple or otherwise. Now, for both the cases a hearing has been scheduled for January 8, 2021.
    © BCCL
    Earlier, the Odisha High Court allowed a woman to live in with her same-*** partner. The high court also extended protection of domestic violence law to the woman partner so that she can exercise her legal rights in case the couple decides to part ways.

    Homosexuality has been decriminalized in India and in the year 2018, consensual gay *** was also legalized. We hope that things become easier for the LGBTQ community and there comes a time soon when they don’t have to seek permission to marry someone they love.

    Apple has finally made its iPhone 12 series official and we know exactly what we'll get for our money instead of eye-balling things based on the leaks and rumours. We got four new iPhones this year, two of them being the standard iPhone 12 models whereas the remaining two models come under Apple's 'Pro' line up.
    The iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max both come with a dizzying amount of camera tech. In fact, more than anything, we think the cameras are what truly make them 'Pro' variants. So we decided to take a look at the camera tech that's baked into the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
    Three CamerasSo the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, both come with three cameras at the back along with a LiDAR sensor. You get a 12MP primary lens with a 7 element lens and an f/1.6 aperture. You also get a 12MP f/2.4 ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view, a 5-element lens, and a 13mm-equivalent focal length. Lastly, you also get a telephoto camera which is the same as the one found on the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
    © Apple
    Apple is also betting big on the various photography modes that are meant to take advantage of the hardware power and give you better user experience. For instance, Apple's Deep Fusion computational photography system can now be used on either camera. Apple also noted that it runs faster on the iPhone 12.

    Night Mode can also be used on the iPhone 12 regardless of the camera you're using. Additionally, Apple's Smart HDR 3 system will automatically adjust things like white balance and contrast in photos to make them look more natural. And lastly, there's the ability to shoot HDR video with Dolby Vision at 30 fps.

    Wearing wigs and toupees has become a quotidian business especially in showbiz. While some celebrities shaved their heads completely and embraced male pattern baldness, others still try and cover the patches, with the help of wigs, hairpieces, hair systems, implants etc. 

    So, here is a list of Hollywood actors who are actually using wigs to hide their hair woes. Check it out.
    1. Charlie Sheen © His Hair Clinic
    The famous actor has fairly decent hair but it is rumoured that the star wears a toupee for his acting job as well as public appearance, however, he has always denied it. 

    Say what you may, the Two And A Half men star still turns heads and stands out, even with his wig.
    2. Matthew McConaughey © YouTube/Transplant Planet
    Yes, the wild curls you see on Matthew's noggin are actually fake. 

    The actor has gone on record to admit that he has been facing hair loss issues and he started to bald 20 years ago. Hence, he opted for alternatives and is seen rocking them quite seamlessly.
    3. Al Pacino © Twitter/Dave O'Grady
    A Hollywood legend, Al Pacino has also struggled with the issue of hair loss. The actor has appeared sporting wigs at movie promotions and public appearances. 

    Moreover, his photographs are evidence that he has several toupees, which he has worn time and again at various events.
    4. Jude Law © Classic Lace Wigs
    Jude Law is a British Academy Award winner and the talented star looks good with or without his hair. 

    The point is, the actor was spotted with a thinning crown in 2013 but later made an appearance with a curly, fuller head. This makes it obvious that he did some sort of hair transplant or wore a toupee.
    5. John Cryer © YouTube/Daily Mail
    Even though John Cryer wasn't as skilled with the ladies on Two And A Half Men, he seems to be a pro at hiding his male pattern baldness. 

    He revealed in an interview about his balding hair and with the help of some talented artists, they managed to hide hair loss, with just a few strands. 
    He has now embraced the bald look and sports a spectacular beard as well.
    6. Daniel Craig © Hairbro
    Daniel Craig probably would not have been able to get the character of 007 right without his wig. 

    The actor started experiencing male pattern baldness and his receding hairline was seen at the temples. But he has made appearances with a fuller mane in other projects. 
    The constant, unmistakable changes prove that Craig wears some top quality wigs.
    7. Robert Pattinson © Summit Entertainment

    Opening up is not easy for anyone. With all the judging, jealousy and gas-lighting, it's easy to understand that it's difficult for people to feel that it's alright to be vulnerable. 
    Women are known to express themselves a tad bit better than men. However, men cannot often express themselves thanks to the 'sense of machismo' which is attached to their entire being. A man talking about dealing with mental health issues is frowned upon and mostly, not even taken seriously. This is why men suffer in silence.  
    Usually, problems manifest themselves fully by the age of 14 and can hamper the wellbeing of the person in adulthood. The need to address the issues sooner in life is essential. Question is, how?

    We got in touch with some leading psychologists in India to help you understand the ‘how’.

    Here are a few indicators to look out for in a friend/family member who may be dealing with mental health issues:

    “Where women with mental health issues express this as sadness, crying and guilt, men may be less comfortable outwardly expressing this emotion,” Pallavi Sood,  M.A. Applied Psychology, Specialization in Counselling Psychology, TISS says. 
    Men, therefore, turn to the other emotional state which they think will be comfortable to them and become apparent in other ways like extreme anger and expression of frustration which is the layer on the actual emotions.

    One of the most common signs of a mind being unhealthy are the physical symptoms. From heightened headache to body pains and heaviness in chest, tiredness to lack of pleasure in sexual activity, insomnia and change in appetite, all these symptoms often suggest mental burnout or restlessness. 

    “They will need immediate attention as these signs sooner or later will become full blown symptoms of mental illness,” suggests Ms. Sood.

    “Becoming withdrawn and isolated from loved ones is one of the go-to signs shown by people who are struggling with mental stress and potential illness,” says Ms Ila Kulshrestha, a clinical psychologist recognised by the Rehabilitation Council of India.

    They restrict themselves to their homes, or even a single room and prefer not to engage in social activities and something even as basic as spending some quality time with their own family members. 
    “Some people often try to stay more at work or sports trying to overachieve and overcompensate for something or the other,” says Ms. Sood.

    Large amount of dopamine is produced in the body when a person is consuming alcohol or drugs. This activates the brain reward system. The brain becomes so dependent on alcohol that under normal circumstances it cannot produce dopamine. 

    “This leads to a struggle to find enjoyment in pleasurable activities with family and friends- because they are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Sometimes they also become very abusive and controlling because their emotions are heightened because of the alcohol,” says Ms. Pallavi Sood.

    People with mental health issues will not be able to concentrate or remember details because they are already pre-occupied with other thoughts. They often miss out details of the task and lack focus in almost everything they do. They are unable to attend to meet family and work related responsibilities. 


    “Their absentmindedness makes them indulge in risky behavior like reckless driving, leaving the gas oven turned on, not locking the house. Their thoughts are scattered and disorganized,” says Ms. Sood.

    A person may start talking too much about life after death, addressing their will, writing their eulogies and looking up ways to die on the internet. 
    Ms. Pallavi Sood believes that in this case it is very important to straight up talk to the person regarding this. It will NOT manifest an idea of suicide, they will NOT get triggered. Talking about it will make them feel understood, it will give them an outlet. 
    If your friends, family members or you yourself are dealing with mental health issues, a good treatment will let you lead a full, productive life. These mental illnesses might be difficult and painful, but they are all treatable. 
    Treatment may include medication, counseling or both. It's important to know that you have nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. These conditions are illnesses, not weaknesses.
    Mental illness is a state of being, and not doing. The right to talk should never be a privilege to just women. Men too need support. So if a man comes to you saying that he needs support, be kind enough to extend that support by just being a good listener instead of saying ‘Man Up’ or ‘Bite the Bullet’.

    Apple announced the iPhone 12 series of smartphones last night and also detailed features and capabilities of their new chipset, the A14 Bionic. It is the world’s first 5nm process and is touted to be the fastest and most efficient SoC in the world. Apple claims that the CPU and GPU performance has been increased by almost 50% compared to the fastest competing smartphone chips. What Apple is trying to say is that the A14 Bionic chipset is 50% faster than Qualcomm’s 865/865 Plus chipset and blows it out of the water.

    To put things into perspective, the A14 Bionic has 11.8 trillion transistors and is capable of doing 11 trillion operations per second which no other chipset can do at the moment. It can even handle some of the most intense machine learning models. What this means is that the chipset is probably more advanced than anything you’ve ever used before.

    For gamers, the iPhone 12 is probably the most ideal smartphone to get simply because of the boost in GPU performance. The A14 Bionic pays a special emphasis to multi-core performance and in the case of playing games, that’s exactly what you need. Apple has already invested a lot in gaming on their platforms, thanks to Apple Arcade and the A14 Bionic chipset can truly run console-level games on the new iPhone and the 2020 iPad Air.

    If you need more convincing, the A14 Bionic has a new four-core GPU making it the fastest mobile GPU on a smartphone yet. This results in the faster rendering of environments, character models and high draw-distances that was previously reserved for games on platforms like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One. Now, the iPhone 12 can potentially run games that you see release on current-gen consoles at the moment. We’ve already seen a major chunk of Nintendo Switch’s third-party library appear on the App Store or on Apple Arcade and the future looks bright for iPhone and iPad gamers.

    What’s even more impressive is that the A14 Bionic is even more efficient than any other SoC Apple has ever made. From what we understand, it has 8% lower power draw and promises the same battery life performance as previous models. The A14 can preserve as much battery life as possible while also providing great sustained and peak performance. We can also see Apple using the A14 SoC in the future for their planned ARM-based laptops, simply because of its impressive performance. 

    We’re going to test the A14 Bionic chipset ourselves when we get our hands on the iPhone 12 series soon and give you more details about how the phone performs in games and other CPU intensive processes.
