Early reviews for the iPad mini (2024), which Apple announced last week, are mainly positive. These highlight the superior performance of the A17 Pro chip and the continued portability of the device. Reviewers also praise the brighter display and support for Apple Pencil Pro for better drawing and note-taking. However, the design remains the same, with noticeable bezels around the display that make it feel a bit dated compared to other modern tablets. A significant drawback for some users is that it requires additional support from an Apple keyboard accessory, which limits productivity potential. While the screen improvement is a…
As mentioned above, the best features of the current iPad are spread across different models, making it difficult to single out the “perfect” iPad to rely on right now. Price, performance, front camera quality, accessory support, and display quality vary by model. Most people tend to buy an iPad for their family or for personal use, and they need to decide how much to spend on it. There are also frequent iPad sales that can change the equation. The iPad as a product line is great overall. Models tend to have a long lifespan, and all of the models currently…
Yesterday, Samsung announced that instead of the more humble (and cheaper) Galaxy Z Fold Fan Edition, which has long been rumored by various insiders and leakers, it will be offering an ultra-high-performance (and ultra-expensive) Galaxy Z Fold Special.

Software company Glass Imaging has developed incredible technology that dramatically improves image quality, especially when working with small image sensors and lenses like those found in smartphones. At the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii this week, Glass Imaging demonstrated in real time what GlassAI technology can accomplish, and the results are remarkable. “Today’s demonstration leverages the Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform to capture large amounts of RAW images from an Android camera and process them using a custom trained neural network specific to that camera to extract as much detail as possible. “We have demonstrated our ability to do this,”…
The 7th generation iPad mini splits the difference between Apple’s smartphones and tablets more than ever before. It won’t fit in your pocket, but it’s the perfect size for a small bag. You won’t be drawing elaborate sketches on the 8.3-inch display, but you’ll be scribbling notes or doing a little photo editing with the latest Apple Pencil. You can spend hundreds of dollars on a more powerful iPad, or you can choose the iPad mini’s smaller screen, which will make it easier to use iPadOS than other larger iPads.
