Rumors: iPad Pro 2 – All You Need to Know About Price, Release Date, and Specs

The Apple a well-known brand across the world and the most successful tablet maker is all set to launch its new range of tablets in this year. Apple lovers are eagerly waiting for these new flagships. The original iPad was an iPhone gone IMAX. It was the most popular tablet the world had ever seen. After six years later Apple had launched many tablets like retina iPad mini, iPad Air 2, and 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This year users got confused about the future of Apple tablet. Many agencies are expecting that iPad Pro is the future. If we believe on rumors, then Apple may launch its next-gen iPad Pro 2 in March 2017.

Many speculations are coming out for the launch date, specs and price of iPad Pro 2. Nobody has got the concrete clue of these devices.

We have spotted various interesting rumors about the iPad Pro.

Launch date of iPad Pro 2

Back in January 2017, Chinese website Wei Feng reported a rumor, which claimed the iPad Pro 2 would launch in March 2017. Later in February month, Japanese site Mac Otakara supported the same fact. As per the reports from DigiTimes, As mass production of the device hasn’t started, the company may hold the launch of iPad Pro 2 until the second half of 2017. These all facts may look contradictory and confusing. Looking at the past, Apple launch dates do not seem to follow a set the trend. The dates keep fluctuating.

iPad Pro 2 new features and specs

As per the early rumors, iPad Pro 2 might look like with a 10.5in screen. This device may copy some features from the iPhone 7 plus such as the dual-camera. Rumors give a hint that device may largely resemble that of the first-generation iPad Pro.

Ming-Chi Kuo, as a well-known analyst has reported that company is planning to launch three iPads in 2017. As per his reports these new devices are 12.9in iPad Pro, iPad Pro 2 and new model with a 10.5inch display. These new tablets will not sport bezels and home button on the front.

The reports also suggest that Apple may do some revolutionary changes in the new models. The company may launch iPad Pro 2 with AMOLED display. Further rumors give an idea that it may include faster display technology that allows for smoother zooming, panning, and scrolling.

On the storage front, iPad Pro 2 might come in the same storage capacity of 256GB which are currently available in the market. There are many speculations about the iOS support version. The company might provide iOS version 10 in its new device. However, it may wait and introduce iOS 11 in iPad Pro 2.

If we look up the trend, then Apple has used Rose Gold for all its predecessors. So we can expect the same color trend for iPad Pro 2 as well.

iPad Pro 2 price

You can expect the same price tag for this device as for the current iPad Pro 12.9. The current price in the market for a 32GB tablet is $799. The device with storage capacity 128GB will cost $949, and 256GB will cost around $1099.

Intel to Announce 8th Generation Coffee Lake Processors in 2017

Intel has announced that the Intel 8^th Gen Core Processors, codenamed Coffee Lake would be released in the second half of this year. The 8^th Gen Core Processors were due for launch in 2018 which has been preponed by the company.

On its Investor Day, the company declared that just like Skylake, Broadwell and Kaby Lake the 8^th Gen chips would also be based on 14nm process. Intel was tight-lipped about the 10nm Cannonlake chips when they spoke about their next generation CPU’s.

In fact, they also announced that they had let go of their “Tick-Tock” approach. Every “tick” was meant to represent a die shrink whereas every “tock” would represent a fresh microarchitecture. This was substituted by a three-phase model of “Process, Architecture, Optimization.”  Coffee Lake seems to have replaced this three-phase model as well. If seen technically the Kaby Lake is “optimization” to the “Architecture” of Skylake and the “Process” for Broadwell which makes the 8^th Gen Coffee Lake processors on 14nm as a variance.

However, Intel still assures that Coffee Lake will give a 15% boost in performance over its predecessor. Whether the boost is meant for desktop or mobile chips is yet to be disclosed.

The complete details of the 8^th Gen Coffee Lake processors are yet to be unveiled. One can expect a six core CPU as a part of i7 processors. Currently, Intel offers more than four cores in the Extreme and Xeon ranges.

The Coffee Lake chips will be competing with AMD’s upcoming Ryzen CPUs that will be released this March. Ryzen is rumored to have eight cores and sixteen threads in its top-end part, with quad-core and six versions making up the rest of the line. Prices for Ryzen are yet to be revealed.

The highly awaited Cannon Lake CPU’s that would be based on 10nm process are nowhere on the release list. But as soon as they are available in the market the enterprise users would grab them even before the customers can put it to their use. The company also foresaw the market and said that the future process would be more fluid which means the 14nm chipsets would be seen hanging for longer than we actually thought.

The 10nm chips that the consumers are expecting are surely not going to come from Intel instead Samsung and Qualcomm will be flaunting it. The forthcoming Snapdragon 835 SoC will be crafted on Samsung’s 10nm process, enabling a 30% smaller die size and a claimed 40% decrease in power consumption. Although no devices using the Snapdragon 835 have been released yet, but the chips are in production and are guaranteed to arrive in the first half of this year. It looks like Samsung has been saving it for their upcoming Galaxy S8.

Intel said that they would not be using the 10nm chips presently but will adopt a more fluid style of production, and you will get it when it is a ready approach.

Human Like Biological Robots Developed: these bio-bots can swim and walk on their own

 

You will now see small robots that can swim and walk. A team of scientists has developed bio-bots – soft biological robots can move around and even swim when triggered by light or electrical signals or on their own.

These small bio-bots were first initially printed in 3D after which they were seeded with muscle cells. These cells then self-organised and formed functional tissues which made these bots to move.

Czech playwright Karel Capek first coined the word robot in 1921. Robotics is the science behind the designing, creating and application of robots. A sub-field robotics is bio-robotics which basically deals with the making of robots which emulate living biological organisms chemically or mechanically. Biorobotics can also be referred to as a theoretical discipline of comprehensive genetic engineering where organisms are produced and fashioned artificially. In simple terms creating life from non-living matter can be referred to as bio-robotics.

Several movies have made used such bio-bots to form the basis of their movies.

Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Taher Saif, said in one of his statements that these muscle-powered machines were being viewed as partly living, with the ability to form, the ability to age and the ability to heal if they are injured.

Saif also said that since now these bio-bots were working, they were now trying to go back and get an understanding of the organization of cells and the language which they used to communicate amongst themselves. This, he said, was “developmental biology of living machines.”

The team developed several designs to enable the bio-bots to walk in specific directions and then have power over their motion with electrical currents or light.

The head of bioengineering department at the University of Illinois, Rashid Bashir said that as engineers they normally built with materials such as steel, wood, and silicon. Their focus was to “forward-engineer biological or cell-based systems.”

The design was inspired by the muscle-tendon-bone complex that is found in nature. The bio-bots have a backbone or skeleton that has been made of soft polymers that are just like the ones used in contact lenses so they can bend instead of requiring joints as the human body does.

Professor Taher Saif also said that their intention was not to make these bio-bots swimmers or walkers but to lay a scientific foundation, so they have principles for fashioning biological machines in the near future.

Mankind’s first step into the world of making robots started with George Devol in 1954. Devol invented the first digital and programmable robot – Unimate. He sold Unimate to General Motors which the company used for lifting pieces of hot metal and die casting machines.

Humans have reached an entirely new level in the world of robots after the invention of these bio-bots. We are yet to see what more modifications our scientists come up with in the robots after such a break-through.

Paper App will be available for everyone, just like Google Docs. Apart from China, people all over the world are using Google Docs to share files. Google docs are must for business. The paper app offers the same benefits of Google Docs. But the paper app is more user-friendly. So Google docs will now need to share their market with Paper app.

Paper is not exactly new; Dropbox made the paper app available for beta testers since last year. Dropbox is targeting big businesses around the world with paper App. Many business executives who used paper App gave the App good reviews. They admitted paper does make file sharing much easier. Like Google docs, the Dropbox Paper also offers various users to collaborate on a project at the same time. Paper is not exactly like Google Docs, but it offers almost same advantages as Google docs do. Google docs take the time to load, not available in China. Google docs’ disadvantage can work in favor of paper. But sadly, even Dropbox is partly blocked in China.

Dropbox thought way ahead when it comes to their paper app. They kept the design simple, so almost everyone can understand it. Paper App is already available in 21 languages. Dropbox plans to make it available even more languages soon. Dropbox will launch the paper app for Android and iOS devices very soon.

Dropbox did everything right with their paper app. One practically cannot find any flaw with this app. But Google is still the biggest giant when it comes to the internet. No one can just beat Google in terms of popularity on the internet. Paper has tough future ahead. Paper can find popularity among business people, but it will not be easy. Dropbox made a great product; they launched the product. But now they have to do the marketing right. Some people will use Google services no matter what; it will not be easy for Dropbox to make them switch to paper.

For big offices around the world, the paper app will serve as another good option. If the paper gets good reviews from their workers, then they will use the app. But it is not clear if these offices will stop using Google docs because of Dropbox paper.

Dropbox is not concentrating at the competition from Google right now. They are going ahead with their plans. Dropbox app is available for subscriptions now. There are different plans, and advance subscription plan allows users to use different kinds of administrative tools.

So far Dropbox is more popular within independent business people than big corporate offices. Time will tell if the paper app will able to make Dropbox more mainstream.
