New images of Microsoft's cancelled Mercury tablet leak out
New images of a compact Lumia tablet made by Microsoft have leaked out. Codenamed Mercury, the device features a colorful polycarbonate shell like other Lumia devices, plus a full version of Windows. Sadly, you’ll never get your hands on it. We first got a glimpse at a blue Mercury way back in November 2015, just over two years after Microsoft acquired Nokia’s hardware business for $7....
Apple's most unloved iPad is getting discontinued
With a rumored 10.5-inch iPad Pro on the way, Apple may no longer have room for the 7.9-inch iPad mini. According to BGR, Apple is planning to phase out the small iPad due to cannibalism within Apple’s own lineup. Apple recently said its 5.5-inch iPhone is more popular than expected, while the company now offers a 9.7-inch iPad for just $329. That leaves little room for a smaller...
Apple shuffles iPad Air 2, iPad mini prices
As part of today’s iPad Pro update, Apple has announced a few price drops for the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini. Moving forward, the Air 2 will be just $399 while the iPad mini will cost $269.

Apple expected to launch additional Apple Watch colors, new iMacs this fall
Apple will launch new iMacs and a fourth-generation iPad mini this fall, alongside additional Apple Watch color options. That's according to a reliable analyst who has accurately predicted the Cupertino company's plans many times in the past. Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities is conservative about Apple Watch sales, having forecast second quarter shipments at around 3.9 million, rising to...
First iPad mini disappears from the Apple Store
Apple quietly pulled the original iPad mini from its online store this week, which means Apple now only sells iPads with Retina displays. Until recently, the iPad mini was available from Apple for $249, though we’re guessing it wasn’t as popular as the newer models with much sharper displays. With the company expected to announce an updated version later this year, it makes sense to...
