Apple has just announced that its next big product event will take place on May 7, and here’s everything we expect to get revealed at the show. Apple’s Let Loose event looks set to see the launch of a slate of new iPads. We’ve been waiting for these updates for a while now, with 2023 notably absent of any updates to Apple’s tablet range. Rumours have swirled in the past few months about when we might finally see the new devices, with some suggesting Apple would forgo an event and simply

If you’re the kind of person who cares, I suspect you might also want that mouse to track that fast out of the box — instead of having to buy an extra dongle for that feature.

Modern CPUs are now capable of featuring a remarkable number of cores, pushing up the performance ceiling to all-new heights. For example, the Intel Core i9-14900K desktop processor is packed with 24 cores, making it far more powerful than the more basic dual-core quad-core chips. However, anyone with a PC may have noticed that most computer-based workloads will only utilise a single core. That may prove frustrating for those who have invested so much money into a processor with so many c

At first glance, Netflix’s upcoming action thriller Atlas, starring Jennifer Lopez, seemed like it was going to be a rather serious movie about a mech pilot fighting to survive on an inhospitable planet. That could still be the case, but the movie’s latest trailer makes it out to be a bit more of a sci-fi buddy cop affair with an emphasis on human / robot alliances. Though a maniacal machine (Simu Liu) dead-set on eradicating humanity presents the biggest threat in Atlas, the mov

Image: Alex Parkin / The Verge The TikTok ban appears to be for real this time. (Technically, “the TikTok ban or divesture but hopefully divesture” is probably more accurate, but everybody’s just calling it a ban.) Only a few weeks ago, all momentum for the ban seemed gone.

There’s also a new bill, known as the American P

Razer’s latest, the Kishi Ultra, takes aim at that market with a PC twist too. But, how does it compare with the mobile-focused Kishi V2 Pro? Razer remains the brand for devices that toe the line between high performance and lifestyle luxury. Its more gaming-focused options take the luxury aspect a tad less seriously but they can sti
