Although Apple itself only currently sells the iPad Pro 10.5, iPad Pro 12.9 (2017), new iPad and iPad Mini 4, some retailers may try to flog you an older model. Grab an iPad Mini 2 or iPad Air for example, and while you can get the latest version of iOS (iOS 11) you probably won’t be able to update it to next year’s version. Our deal predictionsIf you’re after a deal on the iPad Pro 10.5 or iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) you might be out of luck. iPad Air 2Released back in 2014, the iPad Air 2 is getting

Surfers who have been visiting PornHub could have been hit by a major ‘malvertising’ campaign which has been underway for over a year now. The malvertising strain in question is Kovter, and this is malware which fraudulently generates money by clicking on ads stealthily in the background, with the browser user unaware that anything is going on – although the malware payload could have easily been something even nastier like ransomware. As the security firm which discovered this malware campaign,

The PC market is down again in Q3 of 2017, as are Mac shipments, according to fresh figures from Gartner. The analyst firm’s latest report estimates that PC shipments hit 67 million units globally, down 3.6% year-on-year – but Apple’s Mac machines slipped to 4.6 million units, a more pronounced decline of 5.6% compared to the third quarter of 2016 (which witnessed nearly 4.9 million units shipped). This means Apple remains in fifth place in the global league table of PC manufacturers, just behin

You might think true privacy is becoming increasingly hard to come by in this ever-more connected world, but most companies at least ask or warn that they’ll be collecting data. However, OnePlus though has been found collecting device and user data, and has been accused of doing so without asking permission. Software engineer Chris Moore discovered as much, posting on his blog that the domain open.oneplus.net has been collecting data and sending it to an AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud account.

ARKit has been the centerpiece of Apple’s latest iPhone 8 smartphone push, and it’s seen as being a precursor to a pair of Apple AR glasses. However, even if the wearable is in development, it may be some time until we see them outside of an Apple development center, if comments by CEO Tim Cook are indicative. “Today I can tell you the technology itself doesn’t exist to do that in a quality way. Despite Cook’s comments, there is plenty of evidence to suggest Apple AR glasses are in the works. Pe

It’s hard to believe, but this month marks one year since the release of PlayStation VR.

Panos Panay, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of devices, has vehemently denied that the company is planning to stop selling Surface devices in 2019. Of course, it’s likely that Microsoft would dismiss talk of it dropping its Surface products regardless of whether or not it actually was going to do that. It’s widely believed that Microsoft will announce a new LTE-enabled Surface Pro tablet later this month, and any talk of Microsoft dropping Surface products could hamper sales, as consumers

The Google Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL are the first phones that are equipped with an eSIM. The eSIM is the next step in the evolution of SIM cards and instead of using a physical SIM card, it lets you change your network provider using software. The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL also have a tray that can accept your standard nano SIM card. Unfortunately, Google has confirmed to TechRadar that you can’t have the nano SIM and the eSIM working simultaneously on the new Google Pixel 2 handsets – at

How would you feel if you could let Amazon’s delivery team inside your house or your car’s trunk to deliver your stuff? Once the package is delivered, the courier puts the keys back in place, closes the license plate, and everyone’s happy. As TechCrunch reported last month, Walmart is already attempting something similar with smart lock company August, which allows employees to deliver packages into customers’ homes or even food directly into a freezer. Following a survey of 1,001 US homeowners

We’ve already got the self-lacing shoes that were supposed to be the hot trend in the alternate reality of Back to the Future II, and if Apple has its way, we’ll soon having self-adjusting watch bands as well. As spotted by AppleInsider , Apple was granted U.S. Patent No. Apparently the idea is that the band for your Apple Watch will adjust to the size of your wrist, either automatically or by tinkering with a setting. Not only is this attractive because it will save you a few seconds in the mor

Much as many customers feared in the wake of the NES Classic Mini shortage, the followup SNES Classic Edition sold out almost immediately following its release late last month. After that, GameStop stores in the US should start receiving weekly shipments of the coveted console through the remainder of 2017. The success of both the SNES Classic Edition and the NES Classic Edition apparently took Nintendo by surprise, leading to widespread shortages, and subsequent criticism. We loved the SNES Cla

Amazon has dropped the price of its Amazon Echo Show smart speaker by $30, but the deal is only good for a limited time. The Echo Show, which, unlike the standard Amazon Echo smart speaker, features a display through which you can make video calls and view content (just not YouTube videos), now costs $199.99 on Amazon. The Amazon Echo Show price is normally $229.99. For one, Google recently pulled YouTube support from the Echo Show, as it allegedly violated its terms of service. Get more great d

The world of Android smartphones is vast and varied, and that’s not even counting the many devices that release outside of the US, UK and Australia. The Nubia Z17 is one of those phones, but we actually got our hands on it to see what we’re missing out on. And to be honest, I liked this phone far more than I expected to. We normally run each and every phone through our in-depth review process, but as this phone isn’t built with Google services baked-in, nor is it loaded with full English regiona

Nvidia has revealed a new AI computer that’s designed to make fully autonomous ‘robotaxis’ a reality. Nvidia’s Drive PX Pegasus computing platform represents a massive leap over its predecessor (the PX 2) and is no less than 10 times as fast, and fully capable of handling a mind-boggling 320 trillion operations per second. Nvidia notes that Pegasus has to be so powerful because the demands of fully driverless navigation are obviously highly exacting, and include scoping out the environment using

Microsoft’s virtual assistant is spreading its digital tendrils into fresh avenues with news that Cortana has now been incorporated into Skype. The big idea here is that Cortana can pop up in chats (group or private) to offer intelligent suggestions along various lines. (Or, as more cynical types out there might argue, Cortana will be constantly eavesdropping on your conversations and will butt in from time to time to annoy you). Or if you’re arranging to go for a meal, Cortana will suggest near

Come the end of today, Microsoft is dropping support for those folks who are still running Windows 10 version 1511, the first major update for the OS which was released back in November 2015. This means that people still using this version – or indeed the original launch release of Windows 10 (1507) – will no longer receive any updates from Microsoft, and so won’t get any security patches, leaving their PCs potentially exposed to vulnerabilities that hackers and malware pushers can exploit. And

It’s not out until November 7, but there are already some decent bundles to be had for Microsoft’s Xbox One X. When it launches, the 4K console will be the most powerful on the market but at £449.99, it’s also going to be the most expensive. 4K fantasticForza Motorsport 7 was released only this month and it’s being touted as one of the key games to play on the 4K console. Considering Amazon’s Xbox One X bundle which includes this one game costs a much higher £489.98, Currys PC World deal is well
