The new iPad Pro officially releases its first M4 chip, priced from 8,999 yuan in China
At 10 pm on May 7, Apple held a new product launch conference as scheduled, officially launching the much-anticipated new generation iPad Pro and its matching Apple Pencil Pro stylus and Magic Keyboard accessories. This update is not only reflected in a leap in hardware performance, but also in artificial intelligence technology and OLED screen technology.
The core highlight of the new iPad Pro is undoubtedly its M4 chip. Compared with the previous generation M2 chip, M4 has made a qualitative leap in performance. It is based on the new generation GPU architecture that debuted on the M3 chip. It has 6 energy-efficiency cores and the CPU speed is increased by up to 50% compared to the M2. The new generation 10-core GPU architecture can run quickly even on professional rendering apps such as Octane, with the speed increased up to 4 times compared to M2. What’s more worth mentioning is that the M4 chip performs excellently in power consumption control and can provide the same performance as the M2 with only half the power consumption.
Sony officially announced that it will hold a new product launch conference on May 15 and the new Xperia mobile phone will be unveiled
On May 7, Sony's Xperia official account announced on the X platform that an Xperia new product launch conference will be held at 3 pm on May 15, Beijing time. There were previous rumors that the conference would be scheduled for May 17, but this information has now been confirmed to be inaccurate. According to reliable sources, the conference is expected to showcase two highly anticipated new products: Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI mobile phones.
Regarding the new Xperia 1 VI, there are rumors that its suggested retail price may be US$1,224 (approximately RMB 8,870). Compared with the US$1,288 of the previous generation Xperia 1 V, the price reduction is not large, but it is still a small surprise. It should be noted that this price may be an estimated selling price for the Taiwan market. It is still unclear whether there will be similar price reduction trends in other parts of the world.
Huawei Pura 70 third-party quotation is released: basically no premium and even discounts
It is reported that the number of activations of Huawei's Pura 70 series in a single week has reached approximately 300,000 units. High sales are inseparable from a stable supply of goods. Judging from the quotations released by third-party channels, Huawei's Pura 70 series has basically got rid of the hard-to-find situation that occurred on the Mate60 series.
Huawei Pura 70
We all know that last year’s Huawei Mate60 series triggered a rush to buy in the early stages of its launch, and supplies from both official and third-party channels were in short supply. In order to get new phones as soon as possible, many people choose to purchase them through third-party channels at a higher price. However, Huawei’s Pura 70 series did not give scalpers many opportunities to make a fortune this time.
Apple sends Trojan alert to iPhone users in 91 countries or regions
Recently, Apple issued an important reminder to iPhone users around the world about potential spyware threats that their devices may face.
An internal email disclosed by Reuters clearly stated: “Apple has definitely discovered that attackers are trying to illegally invade iPhone devices through remote means.” It is worth noting that this warning is not a broad-based announcement, but has been carefully screened and issued only to specific user groups distributed in 91 countries.
It is worth noting that there is also a striking change in Apple's discursive strategy when describing the identity of the attacker. In the past, Apple and other technology companies have often directly used the expression “state support” to refer to possible manipulative forces behind them. This time, however, Apple chose the unconventional term “mercenary” to describe the attacker.
