Apple's new Mac Pro and Pro XDR Display fulfill promise to the pro class

Apple unloaded the new 2019  Mac Pro, a completely redesigned and modular workstation-class supercomputer. With the ability to be configured with 8 up to 28-core Intel Xeon processors, from 32GB to 1.5 terabytes of RAM and a wide selection of top tier graphics card, the new Mac Pro is configurable and upgradeable to suit the most demanding computing needs.

Apple also showed off a new 6K Pro XDR Display that similarly packs in a ton of specs and innovation including an optional articulating stand that can work in horizontal as well as vertical orientation. By launching the new Mac mini and iMac Pro and aimin to release the new Mac Pro and Pro XDR displays for Fall 2019, Apple has rounded out the widest and most compelling range of Mac desktop hardware in nearly seven years. Pricing of the new Mac Pro hardware is on the very high end but for serious professionals who need t crunch data, render 4K video, compile programs or mine Bitcoin, all this processing muscle allows them to take on more work.

iPadOS brings more functionality to Apple's tablet

When Apple users shelled out money for the Apple iPad Pro, they expected more functionality out of the giant, premium slate. But Apple wasn't quite ready to deliver on that front.

Leak suggests the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will lose the headphone jack

If the rumours are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will be following the flagship crowd. Leaker Ice Universe reports that the upcoming premium smartphone will be losing the 3.5mm headphone jack. It seems plausible with the company pushing its Galaxy Buds, a pair of wireless earbuds that were offered as a pre-order gift with the Galaxy S10. What will be kept, according to Ice Universe, is the physical buttons are staying for now. It was being rumoured that Samsung was going to get rid of the buttons, but it’s being reported that this approach hasn’t passed the company’s testing. For now, we wait to see if any of these rumours have any truth attached to them, so be sure to take leaks like these with a grain of salt.
