Don’t you just hate packing for trips? You’re obviously going to take your smartphone, your tablet for in-flight movies and other entertainment, and more often than not, your laptop in case something pops up that the other two can’t handle. Sure these devices are all pretty thin nowadays, but start adding in their cables and power bricks, and things can get chunky fast. That’s where RAVPower’s 61W PD 3.0 GaN charger comes in. It’s an ultra-portable charger that’s powerful enough and smart enough to charge just about any USB-C device.
Want to know if your Apple devices can run any or all of the big updates announced today? You've come to the right spot. We've collected the compatibility info on iOS 13, iPadOS, watchOS 6 and macOS Catalina from Apple's website, and put it all in one place to make it easier for you to find.
As predicted in previous reports, Apple has added support for USB mouse input to its iPad. The feature comes to the tablet by way of the new iPadOS, as an Assistive Touch feature tucked away in the Accessibility section of the Settings app.
As promised, Apple has released the first betas of all of the platform updates it announced at its WWDC keynote earlier today. This includes iOS 13, tvOS 13, watchOS 6 and macOS 10.15. Registered developers can grab the betas from Apple's Dev Center.
Rounding out its WWDC keynote this morning, Apple unveiled the future of its Mac platform by way of an update it's calling macOS Catalina. As you'd expect, the update brings about a number of new features and improvements including new apps like ScreenTime and Find My, a new feature called Sidecar that lets you use your iPad as a secondary monitor, and much more.
Alongside its new monster-of-a-machine Mac Pro, the iPhone-maker announced a new high resolution computer monitor. It's a 32-inch Retina display, with 6K (6016 x 3284) resolution, Mac Pro-matching cheese grater design and some incredible specs.
Apple has announced that it is breaking out its iPad platform into its own standalone OS called...yep iPadOS. The move is a significant one, as it underlines how different the tablet is from its smartphone sibling, and the update brings about a number of new features and improvements.
We're still swimming in all of the announcements Apple has made thus far during its WWDC keynote, but one in particular we knew was worth a quick mention is the new Sign in with Apple feature. As the name indicates, users will soon be able to login to third-party apps and services using their Apple ID and password.
