Apple is looking into charging issues the iPad mini 6 is running into after updating to the latest iPadOS 15.5 version. MacRumors got hold of a memo sent to authorized service providers stating it is aware of the situation. Some users report that the iPad mini isn't charging after the update. 

Apple advises service providers and retail staff to inform customers to restart the device as a temporary fix while looking into the problem. The company noted that hardware replacement of the unit or its battery doesn't solve the issue, which confirms it's a software issue. Apple is beta testing iPadOS 15.6, which could potentially fix the problem.

CD Projekt Red just introduced a new single-player title inspired by the Gwent card game in The Witcher series. Gwent: Rogue Mage is a roguelike deck builder with players entering a procedurally-generated map. You will fight your way through monsters and bosses using a deck of card-based abilities.

Gwent: Rouge Mage is set hundreds of years before The Witcher 3 events. You'll play as the mage Alzur as he attempts to make the first-ever Witcher. However, this game isn't considered an official addition to The Witcher lore. You can purchase the game for $13.99 on the Google Play Store, iOS App Store, Steam, and GOG Store.

It will be much easier for consumers in the EU to unsubscribe to Amazon Prime. It'll now let EU and European Economic Area consumers unsubscribe from the service with just two clicks, using a prominent and actual "cancel" button. The last option required several steps and a method the EU calls "confirm shaming" that makes users feel like they'll lose out if they continue the process.

Extensive lobbying by EU and EEA consumer organizations helped bring about this change. They even penned a 2021 report entitled, "You Can Log Out, But You Can Never Leave." This is a change we definitely hope to see implemented on more platforms and in more countries.
