Hasta La Gadget!

The other day, a series of leaked photos that allegedly shows a new iPad in a pamphlet revealed several changes Apple plans to make to the lower-end iPad lineup. Now thanks to new images shared by 91mobiles, some of those changes seem to have been “confirmed”, or at the very least corroborated.

For those who missed the previous announcements, basically Apple is expected to introduce a new 10.8-inch iPad. This iPad will borrow several design elements from the iPad Pro, including slimmer bezels around the display and also a smart connector on the back that would allow it to attach to accessories like Apple’s Magic Keyboard.

The report from 91mobiles also claims that this new tablet will cost $329 and will also come with Face ID, but this is a point of contention with 9to5Mac. According to 9to5Mac, they seem skeptical that Apple would introduce Face ID to a lower-end tablet while the more expensive upcoming iPad Air 4 will continue to use Touch ID in the power button.

It is possible that maybe these tablets are one and the same, and maybe someone got the names wrong. Either way, since these are leaks and aren’t official, it’s hard to say who is right. It’s probably best to take this with a grain of salt and hope that Apple will have something official to share in the coming month or two.

The Pixel 4a’s less than premium body normally implies a less than rugged phone. On the upside, that usually means a phone that’s also easy to open up and repair. If the Pixel 3a was anything to go by, iFixit’s silent, or should we say ASMR-inspired, teardown should be straightforward and uneventful. Unfortunately, they do say looks can be deceiving … Continue reading

In GoPro’s more recent cameras, the company introduced a front-facing display. However, these displays mostly only displayed information like battery life, recording time, video settings, and so on. We’re sure that there are some users who might prefer if that display could be used for recording as well.

Turns out we might be getting our wish because according to a leak posted by WinFuture.de, it seems that GoPro’s upcoming Hero 9 camera is expected to come with a front-facing color display that will also act as a secondary screen so that users can see what they’re recording when the camera is pointed towards them.

This is something we’re sure that many users, especially vloggers, might appreciate since it ensures that they are always kept in the frame. Interestingly enough, GoPro wouldn’t be the first company in recent times to create a camera aimed at vloggers. Sony had recently launched a new compact camera in the form of the ZV-1 that is also aimed at the vlogging crowd.

Other rumored features of the GoPro Hero 9 include the ability to shoot 5K video and also fold-out mounting arms on the bottom that allows it to attach to mounts without the need for extra housing or accessories. There’s no word on the launch, but based on the clean renders we’re seeing, we wouldn’t be surprised if it were to launch soon.

The US government has given TikTok until the middle of the month to find itself a buyer if they hope to continue operating in the country. Of course, given how successful TikTok is, it doesn’t come as a surprise to learn that China has introduced a new rule regarding the export of technology to other countries, which in turn could throw a wrench in the US government’s plans.

The new ruling basically says that if companies wish to export Chinese technology to other markets, it will require government approval. While it does not explicitly mention TikTok, there are some who believe that this could impact the deal.

According to Cui Fan, a professor of international trade at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, “ByteDance has a number of cutting-edge technologies in artificial intelligence and other fields, and some technologies may be covered by the adjusted list.”

Alex Capri, a visiting senior fellow at the National University of Singapore adds, “There is genuine concern on the Chinese part if American companies do acquire Chinese interests, systems and Chinese business models, they would somehow be accessing and giving up technology they see as ground breaking. Or possibly they’ll see it as granting Western agents forensic access to Chinese technology.”

Right now Microsoft is the frontrunner as the most likely candidate that could acquire TikTok, but given this new wrinkle, it is unclear if they will be able to meet the imposed deadline. TikTok has also reportedly prepared a contingency plan in the eventuality that they might end up getting banned.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ were clearly attempts at grabbing back a huge chunk of the tablet market pie but it won’t be long before Apple tries to bite back. Cupertino is expected to announce a few new slates, perhaps across its entire iPad line, but details about the upcoming tablets aren’t as solid as those for the iPhone … Continue reading
