Apple boasts computing capabilities of the iPad Pro in a new ad

Apple wants to redefine your thoughts on their tablets and what their iPad Pro lineup can do with a new ad. Instead of focusing on these being desktop replacements, what they’re boasting off is the versatility of these tablets. The 12.9-inch and 9.7-inch iPad Pro models allow you to use an external keyboard, which you can also put away to doodle on the screen using the Apple Pencil. We’re not sure if this is a convincing enough strategy to get people to put away their laptops and PCs—since tablets can only do so much after all. But it does put in a nutshell the best features the iPad Pro can offer users.

LG to out its first Android Nougat-supported smartphone

LG will be one of the first ones out of the gate with a phone that runs on Android Nougat. But they haven’t shown the device yet. LG announced in a press release that the upgrade to the V10, aptly named the V20, will be powered by Android 7.0 Nougat. It’ll supposedly bring “cutting-edge multimedia features” and will give a “distinctive mobile experience” as well as “sets new standard for premium phones for consumers,” Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics and Mobile Communications Company, said in a press release.

But other than that we don’t have any news if it’ll be like the V10 with two selfie cameras and a secondary screen on top. It’s said to come out in Q3 so perhaps they might release it at IFA in Berlin. And with LG announcing an Android Nougat device, that makes us excited that Android’s latest operating system is almost ready to ship out.
