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…
Toyota South Africa today launched its MyToyota app in South Africa featuring even more connectivity features and free data.
You know things are coming to an end when everything that came before flashes before your eyes. That’s true of life-threatening situations and it’s true of the new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The footage, first seen at Disney’s D23 event, opens with sections from the first two trilogies before entering a more modern age. Rise of Skywalker marks the ninth film in the trilogy of trilogies (we mean that literally rather than superlatively — there are three sets of three films… and one of those sets featured Jar-Jar Binks, after all). You know this one has…
Instagram might be the most attractive member of the Facebook family but it could soon be joined by a hopefully-not-annoying younger sibling. Website The Verge has information on a new app in development, called Threads, that is tied to the influencer-populated service.
Burger King in the States is now serving the Impossible Burger, a vegetable-based product that is apparently indistinguishable from actual beef. And now, it’s no longer alone. Beyond Meat and KFC in the States are teaming up to bring chicken without any actual poultry in to to market.
Fender’s mostly the one doing odd things, from a PC/iOS compatible strummer to a guitar made of paper to the versatile Fender Acoustasonic, we’ve seen a few ideas. Now, we can add the locally-made Rubato Lassie guitar to that list.
