 13-Inch iPad Air Features 20% Brighter Display Than 11-Inch iPad Air The new 13-inch iPad Air has a max display brightness of 600 nits, which is 20% higher than the 11-inch iPad Air, according to Apple's tech specs for the devices. This means the 13-inch iPad Air's peak brightness is equal to the previous-generation iPad Pro models with the M2 chip for standard dynamic range (SDR) content, but the new iPad Pro models have brighter OLED displays that can reach up to 1,000 nits for SDR content, and up to 1,600 nits for high dynamic range (HDR) content. Peak brightness levels (SDR) for recent iPad Pro and iPad Air models: 13-inch iPad Pro (M4):  1,000 nits 11-inch iPad Pro (M4):  1,000 nits 12.9-inch iPad Pro (M2):  600 nits 11-inch iPad Pro (M2):  600 nits 13-inch iPad Air:  600 nits 11-inch iPad Air (M2):  500 nits 10.9-inch iPad Air (M1):  500 nits The brightness change for the 13-inch iPad Air was  spotted by Saran , who runs the tech-focused  YouTube channel SaranByte .

  Ferrari has previewed a new V12 supercar ahead of a full unveiling on Friday, 3 May.  The new model is expected to be the latest entrant into the brand's flagship grand tourer line, taking up the mantle from the 812 Superfast, which has been in production for seven years.  The Italian marque has posted a piece of archive footage to X, in which its founder Enzo Ferrari celebrates the trademark soundtrack of his 12-cylinder engine. "One day [celebrated Austrian orchestra conductor] Herbert von Karajan said to me: 'Listening to your 12-cylinder brings forth a harmony that no maestro will ever be able to interpret'," Enzo recalls. This is followed by a blurred film of the new car accelerating away from the camera, accompanied by an unmistakable 12-cylinder roar. Listen to it below. Another clip gives a brief look at what appears to be a rear decklid, before confirming the wraps will come off at 1am UK time on Friday morning. Ferrari is marking its 70th anniversary

Bose’s latest Bluetooth speaker is a ruggedised rival to the Sonos Move 2

  Bose’s latest Bluetooth speaker is a ruggedized rival to the Sonos Move 2 With summer just around the corner, now could be the perfect time to draw up a list of portable Bluetooth speakers to audition. If you’re in the market for one, Bose has thrown its hat into the ring with a new addition to its SoundLink line. The SoundLink Max sits at the top of the wireless speaker range, measuring over 26cm wide and weighing over 2kg. It features Bose’s Articulated Array which sees three drivers lined up across the front of the speaker working in conjunction with two custom-designed passive radiators to help provide “a level of bass performance that defies the speaker size” As you’d expect for a speaker destined for the great outdoors, Bose has built the Sound Link Max to last – the powder-coated, silicone-wrapped steel enclosure is resistant to corrosion and UV light. The speaker also boasts an IP67 rating which means it’s both waterproof and dustproof. A removable rope handle comes attached

  The Galaxy Watch Ultra is spotted again as Samsung hints at 'premium' smartwatches The leaks have been  pointing to July 10  as the date when Samsung is going to hold its next Unpacked hardware launch, and as well as three new Galaxy Watch models, we're also expecting to see the  Galaxy Z Fold 6 , the  Galaxy Z Flip 6 , the  Galaxy Ring , and more. If the rumors are to be believed, the grand unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series is going to be happening next month – and it looks very much as though we're going to get at least one premium-level smartwatch in the collection. Let's start with what Samsung has said officially, in a press release announcing financial results: the company says it's looking to launch "new premium models" in the smartwatch category in the second half of the year. That's all Samsung says on the matter, but it could certainly be read as something the company is saying in the context of looking to build sales mome

The iPhone’s next AAA game, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, gets a release date

  The iPhone’s next AAA game, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, gets a release date The game launched on consoles and PC months ago. Apple has spent the last year trying to convince gamers that they can get a console-like, triple-A experience on the latest iPhones. The newest test of that promise will be Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage, which now has a release date and pricing information. Mirage will land on compatible iPhones—the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max—on June 6, according to Ubisoft (though the App Store listing says June 10.) That coincides pretty closely with Apple's annual developer conference, so we'd expect it to get a shoutout there. Ubisoft's blog post also says it will come to the iPad Air and iPad Pro models with an M1 chip or later. The game will be a free download with a 90-minute free trial. After that, you'll have to pay $50 to keep playing, which is pretty close to what the game costs on PC and consoles. It wil

  Aston Martin's next-generation GT flagship will bring back the storied Vanquish name and use a thunderous new V12 engine with far more power than that of the outgoing  DBS . As it edges closer to an unveiling in the coming months, the new Vanquish has been confirmed to pack 824bhp and 738 lb-ft of torque, which are substantial increases of 109bhp and 74 lb-ft over the standard DBS.  Those figures are significantly higher even than the run-out Ultimate edition of the DBS and will make the Vanquish one of the most powerful production Astons yet, outpunched by only the one-off Victor and the Valkyrie hypercar.
