The Apple Watch continues to dominate the rather small smart wearable market but that hasn’t stopped dozens of companies from putting out their own. Of those, however, few have wandered away from Google’s Wear OS platform. Aside from Samsung, Huawei is the only other major consumer electronics manufacturer that has struck out on its own with some amount of success. … Continue reading

According to the rumors, Apple could be working on a bunch of new iPad models. This makes sense, especially given that it has been a while since Apple refreshed some of its iPad models, so while it is currently only a rumor, it’s a rumor that isn’t a stretch of the imagination. Now it looks like those rumors are starting to become a reality.
In a listing, which has since been taken down, on Apple’s China website, it appears that the company might have accidentally confirmed and revealed that there are four new iPad models in the works. This was discovered by Canadian Apple website iPhone in Canada, where based on the listing, it seems that Apple has two new iPad Pro models in the works.
We said that there are four listings, but in reality there are only two models – the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros, but they are split between the WiFi-only model and the model with support for cellular connectivity. The listings suggest that Apple could be close to making an official announcement soon, although we expect that it will most likely come in the form of an online press release.
Apple was originally rumored to host an event towards the end of March, but due to the coronavirus outbreak, the company is reported to have cancelled it. The event would have most likely seen Apple announce a new iPhone, iPad refreshes, and also potentially MacBook refreshes.

The classic iPod has been discontinued for years now, but there’s no denying how big of an impact the device has had on the world. It changed the way we consumed our music and also helped to lead the rise of digital music. If you love the retro iPod, then you might want to check out this cute toy by Classicbot.
Dubbed the iBoy, this is the retro iPod that has been reimagined as a toy where it comes with a cute face, “arms” and also “ears” that have been designed to look like earphones, and also a pair of legs. It even features a functional rotating click wheel, a trademark feature of the original iPod, also with a chrome finish on the back, similar to how the iPod was designed back in the day.
The toy is also poseable thanks to the use of magnets, where users can easily pose the iBoy in a variety of different poses depending on their preferences and mood. The rest of the toy is made from a glossy ABS plastic, once again, similar to how the original iPod was designed to look and feel.
Classicbot, for those unfamiliar, is a company that is known for creating toys inspired by Apple’s products. The iBoy is currently on Kickstarter trying to raise money to get funded, where it will cost you about $30 if you are interested in getting your hands on it.

Due to the fact that the coronavirus outbreak doesn’t seem to be showing signs of slowing down, many companies and government organizations around the world are practicing what they are calling social distancing, where people try to stay away from each other as much as possible to reduce the chance of catching the virus or spreading it if they already have it.
As such, many people are being sent home so that they don’t have to go to work and be in close proximity with other people. The Pentagon is practicing that where they have sent employees home to work, although it seems that working at home might not be as fun as some would have hoped as the Pentagon is shutting off access to services like YouTube.
According to Chief Information Officer Essye Miller, they will be blocking off access to streaming services such as YouTube for employees who are connected to the Pentagon’s network while they are working from home. This is done to help reduce the amount of stress on the Pentagon’s network, which they have seen a spike in server loads as more employees are working from home.
According to Miller, “Given the increased telework demand, we’ve seen a tremendous increase on the network, unprecedented demand just over the last weekend or so. As such, we’re taking actions, shutting down YouTube effective tonight.” Miller adds, “We will start throttling streaming services today. We’re seeing increased use on things like Pandora and other streaming music services. We ask that use of these services are not mission-essential, that you refrain from using them on the DoD network.”
