New iPad Pro ads puts the spotlight on its augmented reality feature and the Apple Pencil

Two new Apple iPad Pro ads highlight a couple of important features of the tablets. One is the “Augmented Reality” ad that shows a girl biking around a city street when she spots a man quietly reading a newspaper on the bench. For some reason, she stops and decides to whip out her iPad Pro to show off how augmented reality can work in this scene. She drops some furniture around him. The short 15-second ad ends with the tagline: “A new way to augment reality.” The description in the video’s YouTube page says, “With iPad Pro + iOS 11, you can use augmented reality to literally transform the world around you. Your next computer might not be a computer.”

‘The Walking Dead’ gets ninth season

AMC

Even with the decline in ratings in recent seasons, AMC’s The Walking Dead seems to be doing well enough that the network is renewing the show for its ninth season. It’ll be coming back later this year. AMC is promoting showrunner Scott M. Gimple to chief content officer. He will be in charge of both The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead as well as other “potential brand extensions.” And while it’s a promotion for Gimple, it’s also seen as a response to fans who have been critical of where he has taken the show in recent seasons. He will be replaced by writer Angela Kang as showrunner, she has been with the show since its second season.
