Apple could release a 16-inch MacBook Pro and a 31-inch 6K display

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is quite reliable when it comes to Apple’s road map. And he shared a ton of information over the weekend in a new report obtained by 9to5mac. In 2019, you can expect a bigger MacBook Pro, a new display and upgrades to iPhones, iPads and AirPods.

Let’s start with the Mac. According to Kuo, Apple has been working on a MacBook Pro with an all-new design. It’s unclear if those future models will retain the same keyboard, as many users have been complaining about the reliability of the butterfly keyboard.

But Kuo learned there will be a bigger model, with a 16 to 16.5-inch display. Let’s hope that Apple is going to trim down the bezels around the display.

TechCrunch already reported that Apple will release a new Mac Pro in 2019. But Kuo believes the company is also going to release a high-end display to go with this Mac Pro. It could be a gigantic 31.6-inch display with a 6K resolution.

When it comes to iPhones, Kuo believes that Apple will release three models just like in 2018. They should retain the same screen sizes and Lightning connector. Some models may have three camera sensors on the back of the device. Face ID and wireless charging could both receive an upgrade with bilateral wireless charging.

It means that you could charge a second device using your phone, which is a great idea when you know that updated AirPods with a wireless charging case are also coming in 2019.

On the iPad front, the entry-level 9.7-inch iPad could become a 10.2-inch iPad with slimmer bezels. iPad Pro models will receive an update with faster processors.

As previously reported, a new iPad mini is still on the road map, as well as an updated iPod touch. Finally, it sounds like the Apple Watch might only receive a minor update with ECG coming to international markets as well as a return of the ceramic option for the next version of the Apple Watch.

TCL’s Foldable Smartphone Could Bend Into A Smartwatch


TCL, the budget TV company that also makes smartphones under the BlackBerry Mobile and Alcatel brands, seems to be working on foldable smartphones as well. One of its concepts involves a foldable smartphone that can actually bend into a smartwatch. Sounds pretty neat, doesn’t it?

CNET reports that TCL is working on at least five devices with flexible displays. They include two smartphones, two tablets, and a flexible smartphone that can bend into a smartwatch. The information is based on company renderings and patent image filings.

One of the tablets has an inward folding display while the other has an outward folding panel much like the Royole Flexpai. The two smartphones also have similar folding variants but both seem to bend at the horizontal line like a conventional flip phone.

The last of these three flexible phones appears to be a tall and slender device that’s capable of curving into a cuff around a wrist. It’s not a design that you’d attach to conventional foldable smartphones, but TCL has evidently been toying with the idea.

It will be a while before any of these devices see the light of day. A company executive told the scribe last month that TCL’s first foldable device won’t arrive before 2020.

Fallout 4 Super Sledge Replica for Super Smashing Cosplay

Fallout 4 was the high point for the franchise, and it put some very cool weapons at your disposal. One of the stranger instruments of destruction in the game was the Super Sledge. This was a big sledgehammer with a rocket motor on the back.

The sole purpose of that Super Sledge was to smash the shite out of enemies in the game. This officially-licensed reproduction is a 1:1 version of the weapon from the game. Measuring in at 41″ long, it’s perfect for cosplayers.

Construction is from injection molded plastic. That means no actual super smashing things, or you will break it more likely than the object of your destruction. ThinkGeek will sell you a Super Sledge for $79.99, but the display stand shown is not included.

Incognito Mode can be seen, but Google has a fix

Incognito Mode in Google Chrome (aka Private Mode) will be better in the near future – in a set of ways. Those that’ve used this mode in the past likely used it to avoid being tracked for advertisements and/or to make sure what they were looking at wasn’t part of their internet browser history. Today it’s become clear that there … Continue reading
