Next iPad Pro could have a radical new design

Since its inception the iPad has been a portrait-first device. The orientation of the Apple logo and the position of the cameras and other features show that, but Apple could soon make landscape the focus instead if a new leak is right.

According to iOS developer and Apple analyst @dylandkt on Twitter, future models in the iPad Pro range will have a horizontal Apple logo and a horizontal camera placement, so that landscape is the default orientation.

They claim to be unsure whether the iPad Pro (2022) will have this design, but supposedly this change is in the works, so it might happen sooner or later.

As ever we’d take leaks with a pinch of salt, especially as this would be a big change for Apple. This is also the first we’ve heard of this change – though we’ve previously heard that the iPad Pro (2022) could have a glass back, so some sizeable changes may be in the works.

However, there’s no mention of other iPads getting this orientation change, so don’t count on seeing this on the iPad, iPad Air, or iPad mini range. That somewhat makes sense, as a landscape orientation is arguably better for some of the productivity tasks that an iPad Pro excels at. Then again, it’s also better for videos, and only shifting one range to landscape could seem strange.

Analysis: what could this mean for the iPad Pro?

If Apple really is planning to make landscape the focus for future iPad Pro models then the changes might go beyond the camera and logo orientation, as there might also be a different aspect ratio.

While this hasn’t been rumored, a move to 16:9 would make the iPad Pro range a better fit for movies, which is a common landscape use. Recent iPad Pro models have already moved slightly in that direction, abandoning the 4:3 aspect ratio used by most iPads, but they’re still not there yet.

Other changes meanwhile could include reworked software designed to make the most of the orientation, and perhaps a new camera position. It’s not clear from the leak whether the cameras would move or just have a different orientation, but it’s possible that they could be shifted to the middle of one of the long edges for a more central view.

This is all just speculation for now, but with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 having a more landscape-friendly aspect ratio, it’s certainly possible that Apple would fall in line.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
