Month: August 2022

Last year’s iPad Pro range brought significant changes to the premium iPad duo. As well as an upgraded Mini-LED display on the 12.9in model, Apple introduced its desktop chipset – the Apple M1 – to the range, allowing the tablets to harness the impressive processing power and battery efficiency usually exclusive to desktops and laptops.

While that’s impressive enough, Apple is hard at work on the next iPad Pro range behind closed doors. We round up all there is to know about the iPad Pro (2022) range right here, including the latest release date rumours and what to expect from the upcoming tablets.

When will the iPad Pro (2022) range be released?
With the iPad Pro (2021) now around a year old, Apple is expected to release an update soon – though not as soon as some might hope.

Going back to the release of the first-gen iPad Pro 11 in 2018, here’s how the iPad Pro release schedule looks:

iPad Pro range (2018): November 2018
iPad Pro range (2020): March 2020
iPad Pro range (2021): May 2021
As you can see, it’s not quite as clear-cut as the Apple Watch or iPhone, which tend to debut in September every year, but there is a vague first-half-of-the-year schedule over the past few years.

iPadOS 16 is arriving in a couple of months and brings a whole host of new features: improved multi-tasking, new collaboration tools, and most important of all, the very first built-in weather app for iPad.

Even though it isn’t out yet, you can get excited about iPadOS 16 because Apple has unveiled the key new features, which we’ve outlined below. If you’re brave enough, you can download and try out the beta version of the update right now.

When will iPadOS 16 be released?
Apple has confirmed that iPadOS 16 will launch in “fall” (or autumn, if you’re in the UK), but this is no surprise as it releases a new version every year.

iPadOS 15 was released in September 2021, so most would assume iPadOS 16 will roll out this September alongside iOS 16, which we expect to be released at the same time as the iPhone 14.

However, a recent report from Bloomberg suggests that, for the first time, the release of iPadOS 16 could be pushed to October. The news comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman citing “people with knowledge of the matter,” who suggest the delay is down to several reasons.

Per Gurman, the big reason behind the delay is that an October release would line up better with the rumoured release of the new iPad Pro and entry-level iPad, though there are other benefits to an October release. It gives Apple a little bit longer to test out issues with Stage Manager, the new iPad multitasking interface that’s particularly buggy in current beta builds, and it’ll also free up resources in the short term to work on iOS 16 ahead of release next month.

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 30 Series offered a significant jump in performance compared to the RTX 20 Series, and rumours suggest we could be seeing a similar jump from the next-gen RTX 40 Series currently in development behind closed doors at Nvidia HQ.

The latest leaks point towards a 5nm process node running Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace GPU architecture that could offer a 2x jump in performance, and Nvidia has confirmed that it’ll officially reveal the next-gen architecture at an event in September. Here’s all there is to know about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series right now.

When will the Nvidia RTX 40 Series be released?
Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 40 series of graphics cards were originally rumoured for release sometime in late 2022 – and given the two-year gap between the RTX 20 series and RTX 30 series, that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Twitter leaker @Greymon55 claimed back in July 2021 that the graphics cards will launch “no earlier than end of 2022”. That aligns with previous Nvidia graphics card releases, which tend to appear towards the end of the year, although the leaker has also suggested that this could potentially slip into Q1 2023, which runs from January – March.

Logitech’s flagship gaming mouse, the G502, has gone through a few iterations since its launch in 2014 – but for the first time Logitech has revamped the range entirely with a top-to-bottom rebuild and a trio of mice dubbed the G502 X series.

At the heart of the redesign are brand-new Lightforce hybrid switches, which combine the speed and reliability of an optical mouse switch with the crisp feel and click of mechanical. Essentially, this is as satisfying as any mechanical mouse to use, but packs all the performance benefits of the latest optical options.

All three G502 X models benefit from the company’s Hero 25K high-DPI sensor, adjustable with a side-mounted DPI Shift button. Following feedback from fans, this switch is now reversible, which lets you set it closer to or further from your thumb to suit different grip lengths – or you can take it off entirely and swap in a sleek switch cover if you’d rather.

Available in black or white, the G502 X is also impressively lightweight for its feature set: the wired entry model weighs just 89g, a 32g reduction from its predecessor.

It’s been two years since Nextbase launched its Series 2 dash cams and, to coincide with CES 2022, the UK-based manufacturer has announced what’s coming next.

The iQ is a range of connected dash cams which give a 540-degree view of your vehicle, whether you’re driving it or it’s parked. The unusual angle is derived from the fact it has three 180-degree lenses: one facing forward, one backwards (to the car’s interior) and a third camera mounted in the rear window capturing everything going on behind.

It’s the first fully connected model from Nextbase, having a built-in 4G SIM to provide alerts, location data and a live video feed to your phone, wherever you happen to be. As far as we know, this makes it the first dashcam in the world to offer 4K resolution, three lenses and 4G connectivity.

Design-wise, the iQ is completely different to any previous Nextbase dashcam. For a start, it doesn’t have an LCD screen. This means it relies more on the new Nextbase iQ app than previous models did on the old app, though there’s also a built-in voice assistant that allows you to control certain functions completely hands-free.

It’s designed to sit behind your rear-view mirror with the cabin camera poking out below it, as you can just about make out in the image below.
