Alongside its new  14.1in MacBook, Apple is reportedly developing a new 27in iMac Pro and a 7.9in iPad mini — just in case you needed another excuse to dip into your savings for a slew of Apple products. Maybe the shine is beginning to fade on your old collection of fancy tablets and computers. We don’t know. Just the other day we were looking at the piles of old MacBooks lying around the office and we thought to ourselves, “Stuff, when will Apple finally launch a new laptop? We’re so mightily tired of all these dusty machines performing at an…

You read that right, Netflix has bent the knee to South Africa’s Film and Publication Board (FPB). The agreement will see the international media company abiding by local classification standards for any content distributed throughout South Africa. Honestly, I’m surprised Netflix took the whole contract seriously in the first place but that’s just the strange 2020 reality we’re living in. Whatever your feelings on the Film and Publication Board, it’s clear that they’re doing their best to have an impact on your life — whether you like it or not. The latest swarm of bees they’ve lured into their honey…

Following continued concerns regarding the spread of the coronavirus, Facebook and Twitter have officially pulled out of the South by Southwest festival. SXSW will continue as planned while implementing a range of sanitary and safety measures put in place to protect both attendees and staff. It seems to be just about every other day that we have to cover some kind of event cancellation due to the coronavirus and while SXSW does seem to be the exception, that doesn’t mean the event hasn’t seen its share of cancellations over the past day. The festival celebrating the unity of film, music…

First shown off during Jeep’s latest Super Bowl advert, the motoring company’s first venture into e-bike territory is certainly easy on the eyes. That minimalistic beauty might be lost on you once you get a load of the bike’s monumental price tag. Seriously, it’s wild.

While usually reserved for Samsung’s Galaxy flagships, rumours swirling around the mill are that a Lite version of the Tab S6 is currently in development. Of course, if one were to buy a Lite version of a Tab S6, you might as well just buy a phone instead, but I guess having a Lite anything is pretty trendy. The appeal for something like the Tab S6 is the raw power built into the device. It’s bigger, beefier and just a whole lot more of Samsung for anyone who needs a little more bang for their buck than what you’d expect…

Competing against the likes of the United States, Australia, China, Austria, the UK and France, JinxKittie won the day with an incredible cosplay of Priestess Bathory that reportedly took her 600 hours to design and build. Walking around any convention populated predominately by nerds you’ve no-doubt caught glimpses of those people that have committed their lives to the art of cosplay. Designing and building outfits that resemble popular fictional or original characters has seen a massive boom in South Africa recently and clearly that’s a good thing because we’ve got some amazing cosplayers to share with the world. One such…

Both companies elected to close two of their main production plants after a worker tested positive for the coronavirus in both factories. Both facilities will undergo disinfection and decontamination to ensure the cases remains isolated. While you might have been fooled into thinking that the coronavirus might be just one of those diseases that comes and goes, like an assortment of other plagues that were meant to ravage the Earth a decade ago, it seems that it might be a little different this time round. Following a confirmed case of a worker infected with the coronavirus on Saturday evening, Samsung…

While the concept phone would have been shown off at Mobile World Congress, due to the cancellation of the event Vivo has had to resort to showing off their latest brain child through press release. That being said, after reading up on the Apex 2020, we’re sure it would have been a killer device. Every now and then, big tech companies like to whisk consumers away on a magical trip to Imagination Land! Where all the best gadgets are built and designed and then never actually available for purchase! Such is the case with Vivo’s latest concept phone, the Apex…

Maybe you’re one of those folks that doesn’t want to get your grubby fingers all over the shiny, polished screen of your lovely new iPad? Then the addition of a keyboard and trackpad will no doubt help as it brings the functionality of a laptop to Apple’s range of tablets. It’s a universal truth of technology that the soft pattering of fingers on glass is nowhere near as satisfying as the “clickity-clack” of an honest, hardworking keyboard. It’s one of the most glaringly irritating things about typing on a tablet because no matter how responsive the digital keyboard is it…

The Facebook-owned instant messaging app is going all-in on dark as new information reveals dark mode is currently being developed for the desktop version of WhatsApp. Don’t expect to be able to use it yet, though. Who among us does not automatically seek out dark mode when using our ever-increasing gallery of apps? It hurts your eyes less, it looks far snazzier than some bland white background and you get the added sense of superiority over your friends when they ask, “How did you turn on dark mode?” Everybody wins. Yet while dark mode has become a feature of most…
