Visit Sponsor Popular Stories Nov 22, 2018 New iPad Pro Models May Be Prone to Bending You knew it was coming. Almost as soon as people got their hands on the new iPad Pro, they were inevitably going to try bending it. And yes, it does bend, as does just about every other tablet, particularly ones pushing the boundaries of thinness like the iPad Pro. Moral of the story: Take care of your very expensive gadgets. In other iPad Pro news, Apple this week released a new ad offering "5 reasons iPad Pro can be your next computer." The new iPad Pro is certainly a beast when it comes to raw performance, and Apple is definitely pushing hard on the narrative that it's a capable computer replacement at this point.    Read Full Article Apple Considering Low-Cost Apple TV Dongle to Provide Wider Access to Upcoming Streaming Service With Apple reportedly getting closer to launching its long-rumored streaming video service, the company is said to be considering launching a cheaper Apple TV dongle to provide wider access to the service.

Similar dongles from Google and Amazon cost $25 to $35, although Apple's version likely won't be quite that cheap.   Read Full Article Original Apple Pencil vs. Apple Pencil 2 Alongside the new iPad Pro, Apple also released a revamped Apple Pencil that attaches magnetically to the side of the iPad Pro and charges wirelessly.

We went hands-on with the new Apple Pencil and compared it to the original to share our impressions and highlight all of the improvements, so make sure to check out our video to see what all of the fuss is about!   Read Full Article Apple Reportedly Cuts iPhone XS and iPhone XR Production Orders Amid Lower-Than-Expected Demand It's always a good idea to take reports like this with a huge grain of salt, but The Wall Street Journal claims Apple is slashing production of the iPhone XS and iPhone XR due to lower than expected demand. It's a refrain we hear every year, but investors already nervous from Apple's announcement that it will no longer report unit sales in its quarterly earnings reports have run for the exits, and Apple's stock price has dropped over 20 percent so far this month. Reports also indicate Apple may be working to reduce the price of the iPhone XR in Japan via carrier subsidies.   Read Full Article Discontinued AirPort Extreme and 2TB Time Capsule Finally Disappear From Apple Online Store Apple announced earlier this year that it was discontinuing its AirPort lineup of wireless routers, although it would continue to sell the routers while supplies lasted. The run appears to have finally come to an end this week, with Apple removing the AirPort Extreme and 2TB AirPort Time Capsule from its online store. Those had been the last two remaining AirPort models, with the AirPort Express and the 3TB AirPort Time Capsule having previously sold out.   Read Full Article Nike Launches New Apple Watch Sport Bands and Sport Loops in Olive, Teal, and Mauve Nike late last week released new Apple Watch Sport Bands and Sport Loops in three new colors, offering new options for those looking to spice up their wrists with official Apple-designed bands. Each style is available in new Celestial Teal, Olive Flak, and Smokey Mauve colors, although some of the combinations have already sold out and it's unclear when or if there will be additional stock made available.   Read Full Article
