If you were eyeing Apple’s new iPad Pro and were thinking about getting your hands on it, you might want to do so now. This is because for whatever reason, the tablet seems to be out of stock, at least on Apple’s website where according to the estimated delivery times, it will only be shipping out in the first half of July.
Before you get too excited at the prospect that it could hint that a new iPad is coming, that seems to be highly unlikely. The new iPad Pro was only revealed a few months ago, so it is doubtful that Apple actually has a new model in the works. It is possible that this could be due to some production issues that has caused the delay, but we can’t say that with certainty.
Either way, what we do know is that the tablet is currently sold out for the 12.9-inch model and you’ll have to wait until July to get it. This represents about a month of waiting which is a bit unfortunate, but if you absolutely have to have it now, the folks at Cult of Mac have called around and found that some physical Apple Stores do have them in stock, so you can try calling your local Apple Store and try your luck there.
You’ll Have To Wait Until July To Buy The New iPad Pro

When you search for something on Google, sometimes you might get a knowledge panel on the right which provides you with a brief blurb on the topic you’re searching, as well as a link to websites like Wikipedia. Now it looks like Facebook is attempting to do the same in a test that was discovered and shared by some users on Twitter.
Facebook has also since confirmed to TechCrunch that this is indeed a feature that they are testing out and that it is a pilot program they are running on iOS the desktop version of its website. However, given that this is a test, don’t be surprised if you don’t see it show up for you, and also we can’t be certain that this is a feature that Facebook will roll out to the masses in the future.
As TechCrunch notes, the feature is still a bit of a hit-and-miss situation, where certain topics yielded links to Wikipedia, while others did not. However, like we said, given that Facebook is testing the feature out, it is possible that there are still some kinks and bugs that they have yet to work out, so it is understandable that it might not be the perfect solution yet.
In any case, it is an interesting feature although we’re not sure how many people actually use Facebook to search up information compared to Google, but in case you do, then this could be something to look forward to in the future if and when Facebook decides to roll it out to the public.

We get that ads are necessary. They help free services and websites (like ours) generate revenue, but what if you were to pay for a service or a product? Would you expect to see ads there? Chances are you wouldn’t, which is why it is completely understandable that many Samsung users are upset.
This is because according to a couple of posts on Reddit, users are noticing more ads invading Samsung’s OneUI interface. We’re also not talking about small ads that are text based, but rather massive ads that seem to take up a huge chunk of the screen in certain native apps that Samsung bundles with their phones.
As many users have rightfully pointed out, there should be zero ads in the first place, regardless of how big or small they are, especially after forking out $1,500 for a top-of-the-line model. It should noted that ads appear when users enable the “receive marketing information” toggle in the settings, but according to many users, they have not turned the feature on and are still receiving ads anyway.
The ads also seem to be region-based, where some countries are not receiving them, while others are, but either way, it is still not acceptable. Samsung has yet to respond to these complaints, but we imagine that the only remedy here would be to remove them for good.

For all the marketing and hype phone makers and network operators make around 5G, few of them will tell you upfront that not all 5G networks are equal. And, no, we’re not simply talking about which carrier as the fastest 5G in town. 5G bands also differ, with some carriers supporting only one or the other. It also turns out … Continue reading

Google Assistant is available on a wide variety of smart devices, not just those with Google’s name on them. Unfortunately, the reality is that Google’s own devices naturally get some preferential treatment in getting features before others. Sometimes those features never come but sometimes they do just take their time rolling out to others. Fortunately for owners of third-party smart … Continue reading
