Apple may expand mouse support with iPadOS 14
[ad_1] For the most part, the expanded mouse support would bring the cursor features Mac users are familiar with to iOS. But the pointer may disappear automatically when mouse or trackpad activity stops, 9to5Mac reports. There may also be other Mac gestures, like tapping with two fingers to right-click. Last month, rumors began circulating that […]
Apple Watch may get a kids mode and sleep tracking
[ad_1] Currently, a single iPhone can be paired to multiple Apple Watches, but only one can be used at a time. Plus, any Watch paired to the iPhone has to use the same Apple account. This is fine for a single person that has several Apple Watches, but it doesn’t work well for families — […]

[ad_1] The Osmo Pocket isn’t waterproof and lacks a built-in 3.5mm jack, so this won’t be your first pick if you’re recording a whitewater rafting expedition or just want pristine sound for the built-in camera’s footage. Its 140-minute claimed battery life is decidedly longer than the “hour or so” you get from an action camera […]

[ad_1] PhoneBuff, meanwhile, conducted a drop test showing that the S20 Ultra’s front and rear glass survived multiple falls with less damage than an iPhone 11 Pro Max, although Apple’s hardware fared better with side impacts (owing to the use of stainless steel versus the S20 Ultra’s aluminum) and maintaining functionality under heavy abuse. These […]
Google location data led police to investigate an innocent cyclist
[ad_1] The initial data had been anonymized like Google said it would in the past, but police had asked Google to provide information about McCoy’s account after noticing the unusual activity.

Pixel 4a photo leaks hint at a no-frills budget phone
[ad_1] The snapshots don’t reveal too much more about what’s inside the phone, although a capture of the available storage hints that you might still have to be content with 64GB of non-expandable storage. It’s expected to carry a 5.7- or 5.8-inch screen and use a mid-tier Snapdragon processor (likely from the 600 or 700 […]
Huawei reportedly expects steep drop in 2020 phone sales due to US ban
[ad_1] The effect was arguably delayed by the typical annual phone cycle. Huawei is allowed to continue offering the P30 Pro and other phones that shipped before the US ban, but those devices are gradually being replaced — the P40 Pro will be announced on March 26th. That could make Huawei’s phones a much tougher […]
