Apple is making major changes to the iPad Pro: Check new features

As the tablet market faces a slump, Apple is planning a much-needed revamp of its iPad Pro, aiming to reinvigorate the market and boost its declining sales. The iPad, once seen as a potential successor to the Mac, has been experiencing a decline in sales, slipping to its lowest levels since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. This decline is not exclusive to Apple though, as others including Samsung and Lenovo are also facing the heat or lack thereof.

However, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new iPad Pro models are coming and they are expected to give iPad sales a much-needed boost. But they won't be part of the company's big launch event in September, which will focus on the iPhone and Apple Watch. Instead, the new iPad Pro models are expected to debut in spring or early summer. With this major overhaul, Apple aims to breathe new life into the iPad Pro and reinvigorate the tablet market

Why Are People Not Buying The Apple iPad?

The absent urgency among consumers to buy or upgrade tablets could be due to a couple of reasons. The recession and the economic downturn across the globe are pretty hard-hitting and the cost of living is higher than ever before. 

Combined with the fact that MacBooks now also use the same chip as the iPads thus essentially offering similar computing performance. All the while, a MacBook remains more versatile and capable than an iPad. Thanks to the full-fledged MacOS which makes the iPadOS look barebones, in terms of features, by comparison.

However, Apple is gearing up to change the narrative with a major overhaul of its iPad Pro. The new models codenamed - J717, J718, J720, and J721 - are set to feature the next-generation M3 chip and OLED displays, making them crisper, brighter, and more colour-accurate. Additionally, a revamped Magic Keyboard will make the iPad Pro more laptop-like, addressing a common complaint about the current version.

This overhaul marks the first major update to the product since 2018, although the current iPad Pro has been upgraded with new chips, cameras, display technology, and sensors in more recent years. The new models will come in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, similar to the existing lineup, but the larger model is currently 12.9 inches.

Despite the challenges faced by the iPad, Apple remains the market leader in tablets, holding 37% of shipments last quarter. While its sales are declining, most rivals are falling even faster, while only Xiaomi grew in the last quarter.

Samsung chief teases everything that will be unpacked on the big July 26 event

Samsung Mobile head TM Roh has hinted at the products that we could get to see at the Galaxy Unpacked event. This includes the new Samsung foldables, wearables, and tablets. So, we may not see a new regular phone, laptop, or anything other than the things he mentioned. 

But, since the things he talks about are more than enough to make this event star-studded, no complaints. Moreover, we know a fair bit about these products. Come on, have a look.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023: What to expect

He starts the blog by talking about innovative design and then highlights how the company has “ raised the standards for foldable smartphone ergonomics”. He emboldens how the upcoming foldables are thinner and lighter than the predecessors.

Samsung foldables are not necessarily bestowed with the latest and greatest specs since design takes priority. 

Still, the book-shaped Galaxy Z Fold 5 5G could be coming with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, UFS 4.0 storage, a new 12MP telephoto camera, and updated connectivity options like WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3.

The Z Flip 5, meanwhile, is expected to come with a bigger cover screen and software features utilising that enlarged space. It is said to benefit from the same Snapdragon chip as the Fold 5. It could be very similar to its precursor in other areas.

Both phones are likely to get better hinge mechanisms, which should be able to close them flatter and when opened the crease is likely to be more concealed.

The new Samsung tablets could be Tab S9, Tab S9 Plus, Tab S9 Ultra, Tab S9 FE, and Tab S9 FE Plus. The latter could launch a little after the Unpacked event.

Hours before launch, BGMI error code 1 frustrating eager gamers like crazy

With BGMI set to drop in on the Google PlayStore on May 27, marking its return to India, gamers who had access to the game or had installed it before the ban are now getting a mysterious error code - “Error Code: Restriction-Area”. 

Right before the game’s official launch in the country, the servers seem to have been taken down. This could mean a multitude of things. However, before we get into all the details, here’s a brief look at all that has happened so far. 

Error Code: Restriction-Area will disappear after official BGMI game launch

One of the most popular battle-royale games in India when it was active, Battlegrounds Mobile India, ran on the famous PUBG: Mobile DNA. The game borrowed heavily from the title it had replaced in India, before being banned in the country itself.

After a long-drawn battle with the authorities, BGMI has finally managed to make inroads into India, much to the joy of the fans and the professional players alike.

However, right before the return of the game, the players are being served an error code, as prefaced in the intro of the article. The warning explaining the error code reads – “Server is busy, please try again later”. 

Also read: Wait Is Over: BGMI Game Update To Hit Google Play Store On This Day, Are You Happy?

Given that the launch of the game is literally hours away, I can safely guess that Krafton is getting its servers ready for the massive influx of players that they are going to get upon launch.

This is a very normal operating procedure followed by developers of games before and after the launch of the game. And, given that many of the players in India, who had access to the game through means that necessarily aren’t the most legitimate, KRAFTON would also need to do some cleaning to ensure that the players who’ll sign up at the time of relaunch have a seamless experience.

BGMI will be available on the Google PlayStore for download starting May 27. Are you looking forward to try the game out? Or have you already started playing the game? Let us know in the comments below.

Google Pixel Tablet vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 vs Apple iPad: Who wins the battle of flagship tablets

Google launched the Pixel Tablet at Google IO 2023. It is priced at €670 and ships with Google’s Tensor G2 processor and high-end specs. Due to its price and stature, you may want to compare it to the flagship tablets from Samsung and Apple, ie., the Galaxy Tab S8 and iPad. 

Google Pixel Tablet compared to Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and Apple iPad

Here is the spec-by-spec comparison —

1. Display

Google Pixel Tablet has a 10.95-inch IPS LCD screen with 1600x2560 pixel resolution, 276 PPI and a 16:10 aspect ratio. You can attach the display to a bundled charging speaker dock (magnetic pogo-pin-based) that turns the device into a smart display. You can set it to show slideshows of your Google Photos and even use it as a Smart Home Control to some extent. 

Apple also offers an IPS LCD stretching 10.9 inches. It has a resolution of 1640 x 2360 pixels and a pixel density of 264 PPI. 

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 has a TFT LCD only which is 11 inches in size. The resolution is 1600 x 2560 pixels and the pixel density is 274 PPI.

So, the Google tablet has better display specs.

2. Software

Pixel Tablet boots with Android 13 out of the box. Besides some Pixel-specific features, the UI is mostly stock.

Samsung ships the Galaxy Tab S8 with Android 12 but the device is upgradeable to Android 13. Also, the skin on top named One UI 5 is very different from the stock.

Apple sells the iPad with iPadOS 16.1 which you can upgrade to the latest version via OTA update.

3. Cameras

Both the front and back of the Pixel Tablet sport an 8MP sensor with 1080p @30fps support. Some camera features on offer include automatic lighting and auto-framing.

Samsung has a higher megapixel camera on the back — 13MP while the front camera is a 12MP shooter. You get to shoot at up to 4K 60 fps from both side cameras. Samsung also gives auto-framing on its front camera.

Apple lets you record at 4K60 from the back but only 1080p 60 from the front. On both sides, you get a 12MP camera. Center Stage on iPads does the auto-framing function.

4. Processor

Google equips the Pixel Tablet with Tensor G2 which is not as powerful as the Apple A14 Bionic inside the iPad or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 within the Galaxy Tab S8. It doesn’t offer a lot of memory combinations like the Samsung tablet but should be enough for most users. Suffice to say, all three tablets should run fine.

5. Connectivity

As for connectivity, both Pixel and Apple Tablet have WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, while the Galaxy tablet has WiFi 6e and Bluetooth 5.2.

Apple has USB 2.0 type-C port whereas both Samsung and Pixel have USB 3.2 type-C port.

JioCinema vs Hotstar and other OTTs compared: Which to subscribe and which to skip

JioCinema gets serious about its OTT business with the introduction of subscription tiers. Yes, the JioCinema Premium plan is here, priced at ₹999 a year. Let’s see what you get for that price and how it compares to its major competitors — Disney+ Hotstar, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.

JioCinema Premium plan benefits

JioCinema Premium is available in India now. It spices up the OTT war in the country. You pay ₹999 annually and here’s what you get:

- 12 months of premium content like HBO shows and the latest Warner Bros and DC movies. We are not sure if this includes OTT premieres too.

- You can watch it on any device as long as it supports the JioCinema app or website. You can use it on 4 devices at a time.

- JioCinema boasts the highest video and audio streaming quality.

Here’s how that compares to Hotstar and the likes.

JioCinema vs Disney+ Hotstar plan 

The Disney+ Hotstar Premium tier costs ₹1499 per year and you get:

- All content like movies, shows, live sports 

- You can stream content on mobile, laptops, and TV

- You can use 4 devices simultaneously.

- The content will be ad-free (except for live sports)

-  The max quality supported is 4K in video and Dolby Atmos in audio.

There is a Super and Super+ (ad-free content except for live sports) plan with 2 device support at a time.

Hotstar is the one most affected by JioCinema Premium in our opinion as it not only lost IPL but also HBO content to the newcomer.

JioCinema vs Netflix

Netflix Premium plan costs ₹649 a month, which is ₹7788 for 12 months. You can watch on mobile, tablet, TV, and laptop with 4K HDR quality.

There are Standard (1080p: ₹499 a month), Basic (720p: ₹199 a month), and Mobile (480p: ₹149/month) plans. The Mobile plan as you can guess work on phones and tablets only.

It is the most expensive one and so it depends on whether it has the content you want to see and you have the money to pay for it.

JioCinema vs Amazon Prime Video

The annual plan of Amazon Prime subscription (including Prime Video) costs ₹1499. You can also grab an Amazon Prime Lite plan for ₹999 (also 12 months). The Prime Video content on Lite includes ads. The Prime Lite also leaves Prime Music out.  

The Amazon Prime monthly plan costs ₹299 whereas the 3-month plan costs ₹599.

What you are paying for is not just for streaming but for the whole Amazon Prime experience which includes shopping.

However, comparing all, JioCinema seems exciting if you are a fan of HBO and WB content library.

Instagrams Quiet Mode might actually let you sleep at night

Instagram is introducing Quiet Mode, a feature that allows users to temporarily silence push notifications and sends automatic replies to messages received during this time. Teen users will be prompted to turn on Quiet Mode when they spend a certain amount of time on the app during the late night hours, though the specific time frame and duration have not been specified. 

How will Instagram’s Quiet mode work? 

Instagram will also display the status on the user's profile indicating that Quiet Mode is active, and provide a summary of missed notifications upon return to the app. Users can also schedule specific times for the feature to automatically turn on. 

This feature is being added as Instagram faces criticism for its effects on the mental health of teens, particularly teenage girls. This move is part of the company's ongoing efforts to improve the safety of its younger users, which includes tightening default content settings for teens and restricting how advertisers can target them.

What is Instagram’s “not interested button” feature? 

Instagram is also expanding on its "not interested button" feature, which allows users to flag certain types of content they do not want to see. Users will now be able to hide more than one piece of content on the Explore page, which the platform will aim to avoid showing in Reels and search. 

Additionally, users can now add a list of words, hashtags, or emojis to avoid in recommended content captions, similar to the way they can hide DMs with unwanted words.

Instagram is taking inspiration from TikTok with its increased focus on Reels and recommended content, however, it is ahead of TikTok in some safety aspects such as the Quiet Mode feature and setting time limits on the app. TikTok is testing a prompt that allows users to set up sleep reminders and mute notifications during sleep, which may be a feature Instagram will introduce in the future.

Is Apple working on a 16-inch iPad model Here is what we know about it

The Cupertino-based iPad maker Apple recently released two new tablet models, the iPad (10th generation) and the M2 iPad Pro. While the former is the successor of the entry-level iPad (9th generation), the latter comes as an upgrade to the most powerful iPad. However, just after the launch, information about another iPad has started to circle on the internet. As per a report by The Information, Apple could be working on a large-screen iPad. The iPad is expected to come out in the fourth quarter of 2023 and will be the biggest iPad Apple offers.  

Get ready for the largest iPad Apple has to offer

Per the report, the largest iPad will come with a 16-inch screen, like the current MacBooks. When the iPad comes, it will bridge the gap between the iPads and the MacBooks offered by Apple. The 16-inch iPad will be targeted towards creative professionals, including artists, graphic designers, illustrators, and animators, among others. 

Compared with the 12.9-inch iPad, the 16-inch iPad will provide much more space for the users to interact with the device. Although the report does not mention anything about the specifications of the 16-inch iPad, it is safe to assume that Apple will pack in top-of-the-line specifications in the device and charge a premium price for it. 

It is important to mention that DSCC's Ross Young tipped earlier this year that the company is working on a 14-inch iPad Pro variant with a mini LED screen. Combining the report with Young's tip, it looks like Apple is gearing up to release two new iPad models next year, matching the sizes of MacBooks. If the speculations are true, a 14-inch iPad Pro and the 16-inch iPad will reduce the gap between Apple's tablets and laptops like never before. Apple currently powers the MacBook and the iPad Pro with its M2 chipset. 

Apple is also said to be working on macOS for iPad Pro

Most recently, known tipster Majin Bu suggested that Apple is working on a macOS version for the M2 iPad Pro, codenamed 'Mendocino.' As per Bu, the macOS 14 for iPad Pro includes 25% larger macOS UI meant for touchscreens. Is there a chance that both the pieces of information: that Apple is working on a 16-inch iPad and a macOS version for large touchscreens; are connected in any way? 

Well, it looks like the company is planning to surprise its fan big time by announcing a large iPad or macOS for iPad, or even better, both of them. Nevertheless, these are initial reports/tips, and Apple has not confirmed anything. Hence, readers should take the information with a pinch of salt.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro could come with A17 Bionic chipset and feature USB-C instead of Lightning

Last month, the Cupertino-based tech giant Apple released the iPhone 14 lineup, including the vanilla iPhone 14, the new entrant iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, for the first time in a few years, Apple saved its latest A16 Bionic chipset for the Pro models, shipping the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus with last year’s A15 Bionic. Now, a report from TrendForce suggests that the company will follow a similar approach with the iPhone 15 series that is supposed to come out in 2023. 

iPhone 15 expected specifications

As per the report, “Apple will maintain a four new model release schedule featuring two processors to further differentiate between the standard and the high-end models.” This means that Apple will release four new smartphones as a part of the iPhone 15 series. Based on the iPhone 14 series models, the iPhone 15 series could also come with two non-Pro variants and two Pro variants. Additionally, since the lineup is expected to come with two processors, there is a good chance that non-Pro iPhone 15 variants will ship with A16 Bionic, and the Pro iPhone 15 variants will feature the latest and the greatest A17 Bionic chipset. 

From what it looks like, major improvements to the hardware will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as the report also talks about 8GB of RAM on the Pro models. Besides this, Apple could make “camera specifications improvements, including upgrading its main camera to 8P and use a periscope lens in the Pro Max model.” Last but not least, the company’s 5G modem is not expected to debut until 2024, so Apple might stick with Qualcomm’s 5G modem for the iPhone 15 lineup. 

Apple could shift to USB-C from the iPhone 15 series  

Another highlight of the upcoming iPhone series is the switch from Lightning to USB-C ports. Earlier this week, the European Union announced that companies who wish to sell electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, headphones or any other gadgets would have to use a USB Type-C port. As a part of the law, all companies are given a directive to switch from Micro USB or Lighting ports to USB-C by 2024. Hence, Apple has no choice but to comply with the guidelines provided by the EU. However, the TrendForce report mentions USB-C ports in reference to the iPhone 15; hence, there is a good chance the iPhone 15 series will feature a USB-C port.
