At SXSW this year, all anyone could talk about was Meerkat. The unheard of social app that allowed anyone and everyone to livestream content shot straight from their Smartphone became an instant hit at SXSW. And today, Meerkat announced that it has raised $14 million in funding from big players such as Comcast Ventures, Greylock, Ashton Kutcher, and more.
Apple's next-generation iPhone 16 Pro might be set for having a periscope lens next year following an exclusive debut on the iPhone 15 Pro Max before the end of this year.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will most likely be the first Xiaomi handset to feature a periscope camera. The company just passed a patent application regarding it.
Remember Meerkat? It came out of nowhere in early 2015 — a star of SXSW, in particular — and was on everyone's tongue for weeks. A year and a half later, Meerkat is dead, officially, as the company shifts its efforts into a new project.
