iPad Air

The new iPad Air has a clean fresh design which seems to be inspired by the previous iPad Pro line. They decided to resize the screen bezels to be a bit smaller, the port is a USB-C which means no more Lightning ports and it comes with a 20W charger in the box too!

The new iPad Air is fully loaded with Touch ID, 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with 2360×1640 resolution, and a top-mounted power button. This beast is powered by Apple’s all-new A14 Bionic chipset which is also said to be featured in the upcoming iPhone 12 when it’s launched later this year. Apple claims the A14 to be built on a 5nm process which is the first in the industry to tap that milestone!

With a 6-core CPU design – two high performance cores and 4 high efficiency cores – performance is said to be improved by 40% and the GPU is 30% faster compared to the previous iPad Air.

In terms of the camera at the back, they have carried the same one from the iPad Pro models. It includes a 12MP shooter with f/1.8 aperture, supports 4k video recording at 60fps, 240fps slow-mo, and improved video stabilization. And for the selfies you get a 7MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and 1080p video quality at 60fps.

The all new iPad Air will be running at iPadOS 14, and will be available next month starting at $599 (Wi-Fi only) or $729 (Wi-Fi + Cellular) with 64GB (Or 256GB at $749/ $879) in Silver, Space Grey, Rose Gold, Green, and Sky Blue.

iPad (8th Generation)

This tablet is exactly the same as its predecessor. With its 10.2-inch display and big traditional bezels, along with the same price carried forward at $329 (Wi-Fi only) and $459 (Wi-Fi + Cellular).

The new entry-level, 8th generation iPad 2020 will come with the A12 Bionic chipset, with a 6-core CPU and 4-core GPU.

The prices mentioned above are for the standard 32GB, and there will be an option for 128GB at $429/$559. They are already available for pre-orders and the 8th Gen iPad 2020 will be available this Friday in Silver, Space Grey, and Gold!

With all of the releases, Samsung has taken the initiative to introduce the new trend and seems to be seated comfortably at the driver’s seat to take complete control of the market.

They have quickly taken the shining spot as the leading foldable smartphone maker even though the category is relatively new and is making its way through its second-phase with their star – the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5g. Samsung seems determined to dominate the new category in flying colors!

The Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) reveal Samsung’s market share in the coming 12 months in the foldable smartphone category to hit around 80% and should total 4 million shipments!

Their only competition for now is Motorola with their latest re-launch of a newer foldable smartphone design to their previous hit; the Razr that did not get the attention they hoped for. Along with Huawei that was unable to push forward their new Mate X2 in time to possibly attempt at competing alongside Samsung. This comes as little to no surprise that Samsung has taken the lead and continues to wow their consumers with multiple foldable smartphone additions

Judging by the way consumers have given a warm welcome to the new Z Fold 2, Samsung appears to have a firm grip and won’t be taken down any time soon! As early predictions suggest Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip will reign as the best-selling foldable smartphone of 2020 followed by the Fold 2 – Samsung is here to stay and will continue to shine in their newly created high-trending category!
