Apple is developing a new chip for Mac laptops that’s meant to improve their battery life while in sleep mode, according to Bloomberg. The chip will reportedly handle some basic tasks, like checking for email and installing updates, while the computer is asleep. Apple currently relies on the MacBook’s main processor to handle these tasks, but by building a dedicated low-power processor, Apple could reduce battery consumption even further.

Snapchat is rolling out the new design it announced last week to all iOS and Android users today, following a brief beta test for a small group of users on Android. As promised, it brings a new search bar front and center, designed to make it easier to start chats with friends and groups from anywhere in the app. Stories from friends and brands will also show up in search, making it easier to access them. In addition to the search bar, the app itself has gotten a visual refresh, adding some new, slick animations and a card-based system for swiping between the main camera, Stories, and chat screens. Snapchat is also bringing Bitmoji (which Snap Inc. bought last year) front and center, with a new Bitmoji prompt on the profile screen. The customized avatars are also used to represent friends in search, assuming they’ve created one.

The smartphone is available only in China. While we are not sure how many units actually were available, it's not entirely surprising given that the handset had received over a million registrations for its first flash sale. #softwarepride #nokia #nokia6 #android #technews #developer #androiddev #hitech #tech #news #mobile #mobilenews #mobiledev #devcompany (at Venice Beach, California)
