Next generation M5 powered iPad Pro 13 stars in unboxing video, gets compared to its predecessor

Apple is expected to release some new iPads soon, perhaps in October. So we're clearly at least a few weeks away from their official debut. That, however, hasn't stopped one Russian YouTuber from presenting the M5 powered iPad Pro in the video you can see embedded below. It's in Russian, of course, but if you have access to YouTube's auto-dubbing feature, do try it - it's surprisingly good, at least for this particular video, in getting the points across, even though the voice does sound a bit mechanical. The M5 iPad Pro will ship in an identical box to that used by the M4 iPad Pro....

Redmi Pad 2 Pro hands-on

Xiaomi hosted a big event this week where we saw the debut of several new devices, including the Redmi Pad 2 Pro. We got to test out the Pad 2 Pro with the Matte Glass screen, and these are our first impressions. For a €380 tablet, the Redmi Pad 2 Pro Matte Glass Version looks and feels like a more expensive device. It brings an aluminum unibody, which is cool to the touch, and at 610 grams, it has some heft to it, but not in a bad way. It actually feels lighter than what you’d expect from a tablet of this size, and it's fairly slim too at 7.5mm. The 12.1-inch IPS LCD features a...

Weekly poll results: Sony fans love the Xperia 10 VII

Sony makes phones like no other company on the market, but Sony fans are one of a kind too – they came out in force in last week’s poll and showed strong support for the Sony Xperia 10 VII. The new mid-ranger changes things up while staying true to the Xperia spirit. The perfectly rectangular display, the 3.5mm headphone jack and the microSD slot are must-haves for some and they also happen to be things you can’t get anywhere else. Not in this segment, anyway. There were some concerns about the price. Still, the vote went 5:1 in favor of “I want one” vs. “no, not at this price”. The...

Allstate Protection Plans evaluated how durable the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro are with some more scientific drop and bend tests.

Starting with the bend, the iPhone 17 Pro withstood more than 90 kg of pressure, while the Air bent at 86 kg of pressure, despite being only 5.6 mm thick. Both devices remained functional after being bent, and testers say this is more than any scenario under everyday use would demand. It's clear...

iPhone Air vs. the bend test: can Apple's slender 5.6mm phone survive?

The iPhone Air is the last model that Apple still makes with a titanium frame – this year, the Pros switched to aluminum, just like the vanilla model (singular now that the Plus is gone). Why? Durability is a major concern with a device that measures only 5.6mm thick, especially with a large 6.5” display on the front. That display is where JerryRigEverything’s durability tests start. The new Ceramic Shield 2 is 3x harder to scratch, according to Apple. According to EU’s new Energy label, it is a 5 on the Mohs scale, up from a 4 on the previous Ceramic Shield. Does that mean that the...

Durability test confirms iPhone 17 Pro series vulnerable to scratches

It’s been a while since the iPhone had a ‘-gate’ controversy, but the new iPhone 17 Pro lineup seems to have sparked one called ‘scratchgate’.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max in for review

Apple didn’t rename the Pro Max model to “Ultra” as some rumors suggested, but it did significantly rework the design and it upgraded a lot of the hardware too. And a lot of that is new materials.

These past couple of years, Cupertino experimented with titanium to try and fight the steadily increasing weight of the Pro and especially Pro Max models.
