Apple’s event last night wasn’t just iPads, iPhones, and services. Also detailed at the American launch was Apple’s new Watch Series 5, the newest wearable in the company’s lineup. The big new deal? Changes to the Watch’s display.
Apple’s Watch Series 5, revealed at last night’s (“yesterday morning’s”, if you’re Stateside) annual event, wants to wow you with its capabilities. Apple itself wants to wow you even more. As part of the presentation, a video breaking down what the new wristwear is capable of was shown.
Remember how, a little while ago, we said that we were giving away five sets of double tickets to this year’s Comic Con Africa? Remember how, a little while ago, we said that you had to be in Johannesburg on a specific day in order to enter?
Man, Apple really knows how to underwhelm with their launches these days. Jumping right into the event (which suggests they’ve got a lot to get to), we were treated to a handful of gameplay demos for some of the titles coming to Apple Arcade. Demonstrations from Konami and Capcom led the way, but it wasn’t long before we got some actual information. Coin operated Information in the shape of Apple Arcade’s launch information. The service will launch with a selection of titles, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, from 19 September. Pricing? That’d be just $5, or about R75.…
We haven’t gotten to the big news just yet but we’ve got one of the things we were expecting — a new iPad. The updated iPad will be replacing the company’s stalwart 9.7in models with a new 10.2 model featuring a Retina display. That, sadly, is about all the information we were given during the presentation. Welll… Okay, maybe that’s not all we’ve learned. But Apple’s mum on the new iPad’s actual name, and internal components. We’ve got nothing on that, so we’re going to have to peer at the company’s website and attempt to decipher things there. We’ll just…
We have seen the future and it is colourful. Apple’s made the iPhone 11 official and it looks for all the world like the budget iPhones we’ve seen in the past. You know, quirky design and colourful options (including purple, yellow, red, and black). But this is the base model, rather than something featuring stripped back hardware
The mad dash toward the finish line of Apple’s September presentation (it wasn’t just us, right? They were in one heck of a hurry) hit some interesting stops along the way. But the best was saved for (almost) last — the iPhone 11 Pros. Yeah, both of them. The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are made from surgical-grade stainless steel, while the rear panels are constructed from a single piece of glass. Glass that’s the toughest seen in a smartphone, Apple says. There are a lot of these lofty claims this year. New colour options are on the…
We’ve been expecting this: Apple’s made this year’s iPhone day official and, as was estimated earlier this month, the day’s going to be 10 September.
Huawei’s fate has been up in the air for quite some time, and there’s no sign that it’ll be touching the ground any time soon. The last deadline came and went, being replaced with another 90-day period of uncertainty. Now it looks as though we might be in for some consequences. Huawei is set to reveal its Mate 30 flagship in Germany in September but, as matters stand now, it’s not going to be able to offer user access to Google apps and services. Well, now what? Reuters reports that Google has bad news for prospective Mate 30 owners. The…
