While the new tablet starts at $800, a maxed out iPad Pro costs almost $2,000 and that’s without any accessories. The new MacBook Air and Mac mini also become quite expensive with upgrades, going north of $2,500 and $4,000, respectively. The new 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models start at $150 and $200 dollars more expensive, respectively, than last year’s lineup....

Needless to say, iOS 12.2 is a massive update, and likely the last big update before iOS 13 launches in beta later this year....

Update: A filing with TENAA – China’s equivalent of the FCC – seemingly also confirms that the iPhone X has 3GB RAM. This was first reported earlier this month by developer Steve Troughton-Smith, after a leak of the iOS 11 GM allowed people to go hunting through the code for clues to the new hardware. The filing was spotted by Steve Hemmerstoffer. With the introduction of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, Apple slightly raised the price of each device....

In the wake of its continued success, the team at PFR asked a very pertinent question: What’s next? The answer to that question is its latest product: NEXT. Or, NEXT Business Manager, if we want to use its full name. NEXT plays in the same influencer marketing space as Post For Rent, but targets a different clientele. PFR is a programmatic approach to influencer marketing, allowing small teams to run full influencer campaigns with software that does the heavy lifting....

Ziva David returns in NCIS season 17, and the reason why she’s come back has finally been revealed. While not an original member of the NCIS team, Cote de Pablo’s Ziva joined the popular drama in its third season after her predecessor, Caitlin Todd, was killed by Ziva’s brother. So, she helped the NCIS team ultimately defeat (and kill) her half-brother. After that, it didn’t take too long for the former Israeli Mossad officer to become a permanent member of the NCIS team and for the actress to become a series regular....

Watching the stalker thriller YOU is a tricky experience as there’s a fine line between enjoying the story and realizing that Joe Goldberg is a crazy killer who is super dangerous. The actor who plays this character, Penn Badgley, is undeniably attractive and charming, and he of course brings those qualities to his starring role on YOU. But many fans seem to love Joe so much that they tend to forget the darker and more sinister aspects of his personality....

Tethering (including for the iPhone) can be added to this plan for $20/month....

While the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro was given more attention than the 12.9-inch model at WWDC today, Apple has brought more than just a new processor and storage bumps to its largest iPad… Alongside receiving the A10X processor and storage options up to 512GB, the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is receiving other hardware upgrades which will keep its specs the same as the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro. New additions to the hardware of the 12....

The old Cinema Display (left) had three USB ports on the back and required a cable with separate power, USB and Mini DisplayPort connections. The new Thunderbolt display (right) adds Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800 and Thunderbolt, all fed to a computer via a single Thunderbolt cable (in addition to three USB ports, built-in microphone and FaceTime HD camera). We take it you’re still digesting the new hardware Apple has released this morning....

So we’ve heard many rumors about the new iMacs and what appears to be the loss of the 17 inch variety. We’ve also heard that the old 17 inch might be staying on as an eMac. Add to that the reports of the death of the Mac Mini. This obviously leaves a huge hole on the low end side for Macs. It would be hard to believe that Apple would just cut off the under $1000 crowd (but not impossible)....

A new video published by Unbox Therapy provides a closer look at an alleged third-party case for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6 that was recently shown off in a set of photos. The case’s design definitely falls in line with previous leaks and rumors that we’ve reported on, but could be a manufacturer’s attempt to take a risk and get ahead of the game. The video below compares the case’s design to the iPhone 5s, Nexus 5, and Samsung Galaxy Note 3....

Newton has been in the news a lot over the recent years for shutting down only to be later brought back by different owners.
