Next iPad might ditch the home button

Apple has taken out the capacitive home button for the iPhone 7 but it might forego said button entirely with the upcoming iPad—at least if we’re to believe the latest report from Makotakara. The Japanese site claims Apple will be coming out with a 10.9-inch iPad that can fit into the 9.7-inch iPad Pro because of this said design decision. The home button’s functions will reportedly be placed underneath the display glass, similar to what other smartphone makers do with their devices.

Bezels will also supposedly be thinner but the devices itself might be thicker—Makotakara says these might be 7.5mm thick (which is almost the same thickness as the original iPad Air). The thicker iPad might mean better battery and display technology to support the Apple Pencil. At the moment this is all just speculation so it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. But if a home button-less iPad is in our future, is that something you’d consider getting?

Review: Tom Tom Spark 3 Cardio +

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Few fitness wearables offer the range of specialized features and conveniences as Tom Tom does. The Spark 3 Cardio + Music combines one of the best standalone fitness tracking solutions, a GPS and a built-in heart rate monitor with the ability to independently play back music and other types of audio files.

Understated and elegant, the Tom Tom Spark 3 is all business and is actually one of the most mature products in the market. Looking back to Tom Tom’s collaboration with Nike +, this is easily the first fitness wearable sold on a mass scale.

‘No Man’s Sky’ Foundation Update is now up for download

We recently talked about the upcoming Foundation Update for No Man’s Sky. Well, now said update is already available for download and brings base-building capabilities with it. It now lets you develop a desolate outpost into your own base that you can upgrade with housing, storage buildings, and research facilities. If your base-building skills are up to par, you can attract alien settlers who bring their set of skills to your base. Aside from that, the game also now has a Survival Mode, which shifts the quiet pace of the game into something more challenging. In Survival Mode, you have fewer resources to work with and stronger adversaries to deal with. This isn’t the last update you can expect for the game as Hello Game says this is the “first of many free updates.”
