iPad Pro's new Magic Keyboard trackpad brings some macOS gestures

Posted: 19 Mar 2020 06:53 AM PDT

Apple brought the iPad closer to the laptop form factor with the introduction of the Magic Keyboard with an integrated trackpad. Is the iPad even ready for cursor support? It is and this is one of the reasons why Apple split the tablet OS from the iOS found on iPhones. You can see a quick demo of the trackpad and cursor below (we've cued the video up). The cursor isn't the usual arrow you know from desktop PCs, instead it's a circle (since the iPad UI doesn't require pixel-perfect precision). In fact, when you move it over a button, it expands to highlight the whole button. One...

Our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip video review is up

Posted: 19 Mar 2020 04:49 AM PDT

The Galaxy Z Flip is Samsung's second foldable phone, but it takes a completely different take on the formula. Much like the Motorola Razr it goes for the compact-to-regular transition, instead of the regular-to-tablet of the Galaxy Fold. It's also cheaper and more widely available, which might make it the most popular foldable phone to date. We already published our full-text review, but now Ricky managed to wrap all the major pros and cons into a nice 15-minute video. During the process of reviewing the Galaxy Z Flip, Ricky managed to crack the glass behind the cameras, which led...

Apple iPad Pro 11 2020 AnTuTu benchmark shows 6GB RAM, 9% GPU boost

Posted: 19 Mar 2020 04:01 AM PDT

Yesterday Apple unveiled the latest generation iPad Pros - both 11-inch and 12.9-inch models - with a new custom A12Z chipset. And today the 11-inch variant of the iPad Pro for 2020 has been tested on AnTuTu. Now before we explore the scores, let's get a few technicalities out of the way. Apple's naming scheme might suggest that the iPhone 11 series have a more powerful chipset than the iPad Pro's, because A13 should beat an A12Z (or A12X, for that matter). However, that's clearly not the case. The iPhone 11's A13 has a six-core CPU and a four-core GPU. The A12X, found in last year's...
