Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is the biggest upgrade Apple has planned for iOS 18. That's what all rumors say‚ and they can't be wrong. That is‚ Apple can't wait another year to bring native GenAI features to the iPhone‚ considering that AI is the biggest trend in tech. Some of the AI features out there right now are just gimmicks‚ sure. But AI can be quite useful in apps‚ which I've discovered since ChatGPT rolled out. That's why Apple has to bring its own version of GenAI features to its devices this year‚ starting with iOS 18‚ iPadOS 18‚ and macOS 15. AI will surely be the most important topic and buzzword at WWDC 2024 in June. But you should also expect other new features from Apple's upcoming software release. After all‚ that's what Apple has been doing every year. On that note‚ well-known Apple reporter Mark Gurman says that Apple plans to overhaul many iPhone apps in iOS 18. Continue reading...

Apple is heavily rumored to introduce a new iPad Pro with an OLED display at the May 7 event. While reports about the company ditching miniLED and LCD panels to OLED have been around for over a year now‚ this is finally happening. The long-anticipated iPad Pro looks even more enticing by the day‚ with the latest reports suggesting Apple plans to add the M4 chip‚ a revamped Magic Keyboard‚ and a new Apple Pencil 3 with haptic feedback. But why is everyone treating OLED as a huge game changer for the iPad Pro&;#63; BGR asked OTI Lumionics' VP‚ Jacky Qiu‚ about it. Although the company doesn't disclose its partners‚ it's been reported that OTI has been working with Samsung and Apple to introduce an under-display technology to embed Face ID components into the panel. That said‚ the firm can give us great hints at why this change is so exciting. Here's why OLED is such a big deal for the iPad The main reason Apple is ditching LCD and miniLED panels for OLED is more straightforward than we thought. &;quot;The industry thinks mini-LED-based LCDs are an expensive system that needs a lot of individual LEDs to achieve local dimming. OLED-based tablet displays are cheaper in terms of economies of scale‚ and mini-LED displays have a less sexy form factor than OLED displays because they are thicker and heavier. OLED displays are the king of performance‚&;quot; says Qiu. By changing the panel‚ Apple can improve some of the issues users have reported about previous models. Interestingly enough‚ a CAD file leak reiterates that. But more than that‚ Apple will offer an OLED display that's even better than the one available on the iPhone. Several reports have mentioned a two-tandem stack technology planned for the iPad‚ but what does that even mean&;#63; OTI Lumionics' VP explains why this is such an important change: Image source: Orion/Lux &;quot;When it comes to tandem vs. regular displays‚ tandem structures offer higher brightness because they are like two OLED pixels stacked one on top of another‚ and when driven‚ both emit at the same time. Theoretically‚ you can get double the amount of light out in the pixel. Tandem also offers a longer display panel lifestyle due to the tandem structure requiring less current to get to the same operating brightness‚ enhancing the lifetime.&;quot; Qiu says‚ &;quot;If consumers are satisfied with the iPhone’s regular OLED display lifetime‚ they will be excited about the lifetime of the OLED iPad Pro.&;quot; He also mentions other real benefits users will notice: Perfect Black Infinite contrast Lower weight Thinner Best-in-class display performance Similar performance to miniLED regarding HDR‚ color‚ brightness‚ and power. For Apple‚ the future looks even more enticing‚ as production of these panels will be less expensive. When Cupertino changes to the eight-generation OLED technology in a couple of years‚ its upcoming displays will look even better and more accessible to manufacture. OLED seems to have won the display war‚ as miniLED and microLED are pushed back Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR While OLED was once thought of as a technology we should be afraid of due to burn-in issues‚ and it would eventually be replaced by miniLED and microLED‚ it seems the market is going in the opposite direction. Recent reports show that key microLED supplier OSRAM AMS lost a major partner. Bloomberg suggests it might have been Apple‚ as the company shut down its in-house microLED development. On the other hand‚ Qiu says that &;quot;OLED has been consistently improving by 5-10% each year in terms of efficiency‚ lifetime and brightness‚ thus further diminishing any potential advantage micro-LED has over OLED technology.&;quot; Although it's important to highlight that OTI Lumionics focuses on OLED solutions‚ even display analyst Ross Young seems to back up this industry change‚ as more panel makers focus on improving their OLED rather than on new display technologies. With the new iPad Pro just a week away from being announced‚ there's even more we could be excited about now. Below‚ we can learn everything we know about this long-anticipated tablet.

Google I/O 2024 takes place next month‚ but we already know what's on the agenda: AI‚ AI‚ AI‚ AI‚ and AI. There might be a few other announcements mixed in there though‚ like the upcoming Google Pixel 8a smartphone that the company will surely unveil. Should Android fans who want a new cheap smartphone wait for that model‚ though&;#63; Probably not. Read our Google Pixel 7a review‚ and you'll see that the current-generation model is already a fantastic phone. It also has tons of great AI features thanks to the updates that Google has been rolling out recently. Plus‚ the Pixel 7a is currently on sale with a huge $150 discount at Amazon and Best Buy. That drops it to just $349‚ which is an incredible value. Meanwhile‚ the Google Pixel 8a is rumored to be getting a price hike that will be pretty substantial. Google Pixel 7a - Unlocked Android Cell Phone - Smartphone with Wide Angle Lens and 24-Hour Bat… Price: $349.00 You Save: $150.00 (30%) Buy Now Google's Pixel 6a was a fantastic Android phone. As a matter of fact‚ it still is — and it only costs $299.99 right now on Amazon. That seems like a steal‚ but why get this old model when you can score the Pixel 7a with all of its awesome AI features for just $50 more&;#63; But the Pixel 7a is better in every way. It's basically a flagship Pixel 7 smartphone but for the price of a mid-range device. And right now‚ that mid-range price is down in &;quot;entry-level&;quot; territory thanks to a huge discount. You can currently score an AI-powered Google Pixel 7a for just $349 instead of $499‚ which is a massive 30% discount. The Pixel Fold is cool‚ but the Pixel 7a was the true star of Google I/O last year. Here are the Google Pixel 7a specs highlights: 6.1-inch OLED display (429 ppi) Under-display fingerprint reader IP67 water/dust resistance 5G Google Tensor G2 octa-core chip Mali-G710 MP7 GPU 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage 8GB of RAM 64-megapixel wide-angle main camera (rear) 13-megapixel 120-degree ultra-wide camera (rear) 13-megapixel selfie camera (front) Stereo speakers All that for $499 is unquestionably a bargain. But some people are unhappy becayse the new Pixel 7a was $50 more than the Pixel 6a was at launch. If that annoyed you‚ I have some even worse news: The Pixel 8a is almost definitely getting yet another price hike. Sure‚ there will probably be a few new AI features announced at I/O 2024 that the Pixel 7a doesn't get. At least‚ not officially. If you want‚ you'll almost certainly be able to find simple workarounds that bring all of Google's latest and greatest AI features to the Pixel 7a. At just $349 for a factory unlocked Pixel 7a‚ it's definitely worth it.
