Apple iPad Air 4 to come with 11” display and USB-C


Report: iPad Air 4 to come with 11” display and USB-C

A new report circulating Chinese media claims that Apple is looking to bring a radical change to its iPad Air by increasing the display size to 11-inches and replacing the Lighting port with a Type-C connector. The report comes from unnamed Apple suppliers and claims the upcoming Air will feature a similar design to the current 11-inch iPad Pro with slim bezels and possibly Face ID. The latter part is still not confirmed so we’re not holding our breath.

Apple has been following a policy of increasing its iPad display sizes for the past years so the new claims make sense. The latest report also mentions the iPad Air 4 will utilize the Apple A13 Bionic chipset found in the iPhone 11 lineup and and new iPhone SE.

We recently learned that LG is ramping up iPad LCD production due to rising demand for tablets during the pandemic. There's also no word on when the new Air is scheduled to arrive.

Last month we also came across a report which claims that a new 10.8” iPad Pro is due to arrive in the second half of this year while an all-new 9” iPad Mini is stated to arrive in 2021.

Google removed apps that offered services like ringtones and storage managers after security researchers uncovered the “WireX” botnet was behind the ploy. Malware was hidden inside the affected apps, and as long as the device remained switched on it was used in DDoS attacks. Researchers at cloud services provider Akamai discovered WireX after a hospitality company suffered from a DDoS attack involving hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. DDoS attacks work by overwhelming a target with large amounts of data from multiple IP addresses, and they’re effective at taking down websites and services that can’t cope with a data influx. Google said in a statement it’s currently in the process of removing the malicious apps from affected devices, an...

HTC Desire 20 Pro certified by Google Play, NCC

HTC’s glory days are well in the past, but the Taiwanese company is trying to stay relevant in the smartphone world. As spotted by a vigilant Twitter user, the Desire 20 Pro has been certified at NCC and Google Play Support. Previously the same phone appeared on Geekbench and in leaked schematics . The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier. Seeing how this is a Pro there is likely to be a vanilla version in the pipeline as well, but we haven't heard anything about it. HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...
