Apple's first big event of 2024 has come and gone, showcasing a new iPad Pro and the powerful Apple M4 chip. While the latest technology throws up plenty of possibilities, though, running Baldur's Gate 3 on said new Apple goodies isn't one of them.

These small, plug-and-play devices are capable of turning your old TV into a fully functional PC.

Google Wallet has finally debuted in India to cater to the everyday requirements of Indian users. Many of you must be thinking, if there is a Google Pay app then why do we need a separate wallet?

Therefore, the Google Wallet will not affect the Google Pay app in any way. Know more about the new Google Wallet app and how it works.

A few hours have passed since Apple officially unveiled the M4 and the first iPad Pro featuring the SoC has allegedly been benchmarked on Geekbench 6. Sadly, we cannot compare the single-core and multi-core scores against the M3 or the M2 because the leak revolves around the chipset’s Machine Learning performance, but that does not mean we cannot dive deep and check out its other specifications.

Apple's recent Let Loose event was all about the iPad, as Tim Cook put it. With just about a month left until WWDC, Apple focused squarely on tablets, kicking off the event with a nod to the Apple Vision Pro. Among the highlights were the unveiling of two new iPads: the iPad Pro and the iPad Air. The former got a major upgrade with the all-new M4 chip, marking it as the first device to boast the latest Apple silicon. Meanwhile, the latter, though not as revolutionary, received a noteworthy bump from the M1 to the M2 chip. Let's dive into the five key takeaways from this year's Apple Let Loose event. 

Google finally launched the Pixel 8a smartphone surprisingly yesterday just a few hours after Apple's ‘Let Loose' event. Earlier, it was anticipated that the smartphone would be announced during the Google I/O event which was scheduled for May 14. However, the Pixel 8a made its debut a week before the event. The smartphone is being called an “AI phone” which is packed with several advanced features like the Pixel 8 series and it is available at a very affordable price. Know what the Pixel 8a has in store for users.

At its Let Loose event on May 7, Apple revealed the upcoming M4 iPad Pro and iPad Air Gen 6 models, each launching on Wednesday, May 15. Apple also showed off some features of the new Apple Pencil Pro, including haptic feedback and improved response, and a new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro, which will come in different sizes and colors.

Apple appears to have discriminated between the OLED iPad Pro models when it comes to the RAM. The company announced the new OLED iPad Pro models with major changes. While the iPad Air comes with decent upgrades and a new 12.9-inch variant, the iPad Pro takes the cake with an extremely thin design and powerful internals.

The M4 announcement during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event painted a rosy picture for potential buyers, and they would have likely believed that the latest iPad Pro models would have access to four performance and six efficiency cores. Unfortunately, that is not the case here because Apple cleverly hid the finer details from its audience, and to actually get the chipset with the 10-core CPU, you have to avoid the 256GB or 512GB models altogether. Hearing this is disappointing because the base model does not come cheap and is currently listed for pre-order at $999.

Apple Let Loose event was live-streamed today, May 7 at 7:30 PM IST in which the company unveiled several new products. While the main attraction of the launch event was the new generation of iPad Air and iPad Pro models, Apple also announced new iPad accessories. The accessories include an Apple Pencil Pro with several new features and an upgraded Magic Keyboard. Both the iPad accessories have a new design and features than their predecessor. Check out what Apple has in store for the new iPad accessories.

While there were several anticipations about the product display, the company stunned the viewers with a new M4 chipset. For people waiting for the new generation of iPad Pro, check out the announced specifications and features of the device. 

After nearly 2-year neglect, Apple finally updated its iPad lineup with new devices, including the new iPad Air at its Let Loose event on May 7.

Unlike the MacBooks that were released via a simple press release, the iPad Air was introduced in a live-streamed video by the company, giving a glimpse into its features, capabilities and price.

The Apple iPhone 16 series is nearly five months away from its official launch. However, leaks and rumours about the upcoming devices have given us an understanding of what Apple may announce during its September event.

In a recent leak, the iPhone 16 dummy units of all four models have surfaced online, showcasing their expected design.

The new iPad Pro range has received incredible design and hardware improvements, with the inclusion of the M4 chipset and Tandem OLED making these premium tablets a cut above the rest, particularly the M2 models. Here, we take an in-depth look at the latest models and see what sets them apart from their own predecessors and the competition.

Apple introduced the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max last year with 8GB RAM, making it the first time since the iPhone 14 lineup that the company exceeded the 6GB RAM limit. However, with on-device AI and other features being extremely memory-intensive, the company will have little choice but to introduce an upgrade. Sadly, those waiting impatiently for the iPhone 16 launch will be disappointed as one analyst predicts that 12GB RAM will debut on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Apple is adding a bunch of new titles to its Arcade video game subscription service next month, including Return to Monkey Island. It's the first new entry in the franchise by series creator Ron Gilbert since Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, which was released way back in 1991. The game still revolves around the pirate Guybrush Threepwood who's on a journey to unearth the secret of Monkey Island. You'll see some familiar locations from the older games in the new title, which also features Threepwood's wife Elaine Marley and his arch-enemy, the zombie pirate LeChuck. Return to Monkey Island is already available on the App Store, but it's coming to Apple Arcade on June 6 where subscribers can access the whole game, including the in-app purchases non-subscribers would have to buy.

We are on the brink of the highly anticipated Apple Let Loose event, signalling the end of a nearly two-year wait for Apple in releasing new iPads. For iPad enthusiasts, this has been a long wait filled with anticipation. Set to unfold as the first Apple event of 2024, this occasion promises to unveil a range of new iPads, as leaked information suggests. Among these releases are expected to be a "pro" iPad model and a more budget-friendly option.

Apple Let Loose Event: Apple is all set for its Let Loose event, and Apple enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation.  The Cupertino-based company is gearing up for its first major event of the year, promising exciting announcements, particularly in its iPad lineup.

Apple's highly anticipated OLED iPad Pro models are only hours away from launch. The devices are rumored to fill the gap Apple has created for the past year or so, and it is one of the reasons why the 'Pro' models will come with an M4 chip instead of an M3. We are expecting big from the company as it is also expected to announce additional models of the iPad. If you are anxiously waiting for Apple's OLED iPad Pro launch, check out the 'Let Loose' event start time in your local time zone or region of residence.

The M4 is expected to be announced later today during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event, and with the company already employing the use of TSMC’s 3nm technology before, we immediately assumed that the new silicon would be fabricated on this lithography. However, one report states that unlike the M3 powering various Macs and mass produced on the ‘N3B’ architecture, Apple’s M4 will switch to the updated ‘N3E’ process, resulting in various improvements. The report also mentions that the upcoming SoC will arrive in three variants, which is nothing unusual regarding Apple Silicon releases.

From a high of $172 per share at the peak of the EV mania to just around $10 per share now, Rivian appeared destined for a penny stock status not too long ago. However, the company's recent movies are significant enough to merit a pause from even the most ardent of bears.

The new generation of Apple iPad Air and iPad Pro models will finally debut today with several new features and upgrades. Alongside iPads, we may also see a new Apple Pencil and Magic keyboard launching today. The “Let Loose” iPad event video will be available for everyone to watch today at 7 PM IST. As per reports, the event video will be about 35 minutes long in which the company will be revealing detailed information about the new iPads. Reportedly, Apple shared a new teaser for the event which showcases the eraser functionality.

The Apple Vision Pro might not be a hit in the consumer market as updated shipment estimates have dropped to 400,000 to 450,000 units for 2024, but the $3,499 head-mounted wearable is a success in the enterprise division, with companies thoroughly impressed with what has been crammed into the device.

With so much nostalgia suddenly available right on your phone, it’s no wonder that Delta has become one of the most downloaded apps on the store. And while the emulator itself is fantastic, none of these games were intended to be played on your iPhone — and more specifically, with the touchpad.

It took a good friend of mine three episodes of the Apple TV Plus show Sugar before he texted me to say that he thought he knew the big twist the series was hiding and that it was “so insane” he had “no choice but to respect it.” Intrigued, I dove into Sugar myself, and three episodes in, I came to the exact same conclusion — but I’m not going to share it with you here because you really need to see it for yourself.

Apple carved out a systematic plan over a period of four years to replace Android Auto in cars with its CarPlay software and not to forget its ambitious idea of manufacturing the Apple Car. So, the idea was simple- sell CarPlay to traditional car manufacturers while flaunting the platform on its own Apple car.

With large smart screens gaining prominence inside luxury cars, car brands can only partner with reliable software makers like Google, Apple and others, even Samsung!

Apple's highly anticipated new model of the Vision Pro headset is facing delays until late 2026, accompanied by reports of lower-than-expected demand. While these developments might raise concerns, they do not diminish the long-term potential of Apple's vision products.

The demand for Apple Vision Pro is slowly dwindling, but the company’s long-term goals have not budged an inch. A new report states that the successor to the $3,499 AR headset could launch sometime by the end of 2026. However, there is a huge glaring issue that Apple needs to address, or this product category will most likely never take off, and that is pricing. For that to happen, the technology giant needs to bring down its component costs, but with each current-generation unit estimated to set back Apple by $1,542, the road to a more affordable head-mounted wearable is long and hard.
