Tech Bytes: Apple expected to announce new TV, HomePod Mini

A big change is on the way from Apple. The company is reportedly planning to switch to a homegrown chip for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections on iPhones, Apple TV, and other smart home devices.
The chip, called “Proxima,” is set to debut next year.

WhatsApp says new upgrades are coming to its video calls. The platform is promising higher-resolution streams for individual and group calls. It’s also adding new camera effects—like puppy ears, a karaoke microphone, and an underwater filter—to make conversations more fun.

Netflix says its next Squid Game experience will be available to anyone, regardless of whether players have a subscription to the service. Users will be able to play “Unleashed” on both Android and iOS.
However, the free-for-all period will only be available for a limited time.
