Tomorrow’s the day for the first Apple launch of 2018, and it’ll be kicking off from 8AM PT, 11AM ET and 4PM BST. We’ll be at Chicago’s Lane Tech College Prep School (which calls itself the school of champions…) where whatever Apple is announcing will be shown off. A new Apple Pencil – or new featuresThe Apple Pencil is clearly going to feature heavily here, with the invite (which you can see a the top of this article) openly showing the familiar swipes and swooshes of the Pencil’s work.

Top marks to the folks over at WinFuture, because only a few days after revealing most of the key specs of the Huawei P20 Pro, they’re back with a full rundown of everything you could possibly want to know about the standard Huawei P20 phone as well. The 5.8-inch screen uses LCD technology rather than the OLED of the Pro model, though the resolution – 2240 x 1080 pixels – remains the same. That means there’s a slightly higher pixel density on the standard Huawei P20, because the display is small

Apple CEO Tim Cook is in China for a trade conference and has put forward his thoughts on the recent Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal. As well as calling for tighter regulation on user profiling by apps and services, Cook also took the opportunity to underline Apple’s approach to user privacy. According to Cook, that was to avoid incidents like the one current dominating the tech headlines. “We’ve worried for a number of years that people in many countries were giving up data probably w

We’re just days away from the first big Apple launch of 2018, and word on the web is that it’s going to be another new iPad. A new, low-cost iPad for schools and businessA new, low-cost iPad for schools and business When is it out? That date means we’ll be getting the new iPad somewhen in April if the usual 10-day-to-two-weeks model is followed, with pre-orders beginning somewhen in between that… if indeed you can buy this from retail stores, as the new iPad 2018 might be for education only. W

Now we’ve got some kind of clarity, for this year at least: the upcoming HTC U12 Plus will be the firm’s only flagship of 2018. Apparently HTC wants to streamline its phone operations going forward, and has ditched the idea of revealing a second flagship around October or November (like the HTC U11 Plus). Shifting strategyWe’re anticipating that the HTC 12 Plus is going to break cover during May, and those in the know say it’s going to be released across the world at the same time. It sounds lik

And now we are witnessing the dawn of the sex robot. TNT would mean that when humans have robot partners with their own distinct personalities, they will be able to create children together. It may even be possible to create robot-human children at various different ages. Levy predicts that these robot-human children will be made in the Far East before anywhere else – specifically China, Korea or Japan. This will be accomplished once a robot is created that exhibits intelligent behaviour which i

It’s a sure sign that a new phone is on the way when the handset it’s replacing stops being sold – and given that OnePlus is no longer letting customers buy the OnePlus 5T in the US, we can assume that the OnePlus 6 is about to break cover. While OnePlus flagships are usually launched in June, it seems the Chinese phone maker might be breaking with tradition this time around by pushing the OnePlus 6 out earlier. What to expectWe already know plenty about the OnePlus 6 thanks to a succession of l

If you’re one of the roughly 2 million Spotify users listening to the streaming service without advertisements with modded apps or accounts, enjoy it while it lasts. The news today is that what was believed to be a relatively small amount of users stealing Spotify’s Premium service without paying for it actually turns out to be a large percentage of Spotify’s business – around 2% of Spotify’s 157 million active users. How can I get a free Spotify Premium account? Head over to Spotify’s website a

The iPad Pro-exclusive Apple Pencil may finally be for everyone starting next week, as a new rumor suggests it’ll be supported by the entry-level New iPad 2018. The anticipated New iPad is believed to be the focus of Apple’s education event on March 27 and act as a refresh to the cheapest iPad, the 9.7-inch iPad. The suggestion that the new iPad will also support the Apple Pencil comes from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, courtesy of 9to5Mac. But, there’s more to the Apple Pencil speculatio

Microsoft clearly looks to boost Cortana’s effectiveness and helpfulness with the next big Windows 10 update. Known internally as Redstone 4 , this update introduces a new ‘Cortana Show Me’ feature that teaches users how to navigate key features of the operating system (OS). Specifically, this feature can be found in the Fast Ring of Windows Insider Preview Build 17128. This feature update follows one released just earlier this week that adds profiles to the Cortana digital assistant , allowing

It’s a mix of the more traditional looking watches that have some smart features and outright smartwatches you should be keeping an eye on. Hublot Big Bang Referee 2018 FIFA World Cup RussiaHublot’s terribly named smartwatch has been the biggest talking point of Baselworld 2018, even though it may not be the best smart product on show. It comes packed with a bunch of other features like a UV indicator, temperature gauge, altitude features and phone notifications too. It’s classically designed, b

You may know Larsson & Jennings for its top-end fashion watches, but the Swiss watchmaker is now embracing technology for the first time with its new Connect watch. Soft launched at Baselworld 2018, the Larsson & Jennings Connect won’t be avalible until September this year, but the company wants to show its intention to create a high quality hybrid to sell later this year. The watch will reflect Larsson & Jennings watch style (usually minimalist style in a variety of colors) but will have basic

The Nintendo Switch has now been out for a year and it’s safe to say that it’s taken the world by storm. Given that Nintendo hasn’t actually confirmed there’s a Nintendo Switch 2 in the works, it’s hard to guess what kind of release date we’re looking at. Based on these industry trends we’d imagine that Nintendo may consider releasing an upgraded version of the Switch hardware between two and three years into its lifetime, which would mean we could see Nintendo Switch 2.0 in 2019. Nintendo Switc

So it’s worth investing time and money on an effective card processing service. As well as the free option, you can pay $30 (£20, around AU$38) a month to upgrade to PayPal Payments Pro. Worldpay takes the ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ approach to PayPal – it accepts payments from PayPal members, as well as the usual standalone card payments from non-PayPal users. And that pretty much sums up Stripe’s raison d’être – a stripped down and straightforward card processing service. It’s another
