Apple launches 10th-Gen iPad with USB-C, new landscape front camera, updated specs and a bigger display

Apple has launched an all-new iPad 10 and has given it a major design overhaul. The new iPad 10 comes with a much larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with flatter edges. Also for the first time on an iPad, Apple has moved the front-facing camera to the longer side of the display, making the iPad 10 one of the first iPads to be completely compatible to be used in landscape orientation.

The new iPad 10 also gets USB-C instead of the Lightning port. Apple has also ditched the home button for a much larger display. The iPad 10 still gets a form of TouchID, which has now been integrated with the power button, much like the existing iPad Air and iPad Mini. The new iPad 10 has also been upgraded to support WiFi 6, and 5G cellular connectivity.

The iPad 10 gets an updated version of Apple’s A14 Bionic SoC, the same processor that was seen in the iPhone 12 series. The A14 Bionic SoC in the iPad 10 comes with a 6‑core CPU a 4- core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. You also get a slightly better battery, and a much better battery management system over the iPad 9. You also get a set of quad stereo speakers with the new iPad 10.

The 10th Gen iPad’s display is a 10.9-inch LED-backlit IPS display, with a resolution of 2360×1640 pixels resolution at 264 pixels per inch. It is a True Tone display and supports about 500 nits brightness.

As for the cameras, the 10th Gen iPad features a 12MP ultrawide front camera along the landscape edge of the iPad as well as an updated 12MP rear camera which can shoot 4K video. The front-facing camera’s horizontal form factor and 122-degree field of view now allows it to take advantage of Apple’s Center Stage feature that automatically puts you in focus during video calls.

As for the accessories, the iPad 10 supports the Apple Pencil, but the first generation one,and  is available for Rs 9,500. Apple has also made a new Magic Keyboard Folio for the iPad 10, which will be available for Rs 24,900. The Magic Keyboard folio connects with the new iPad 10 using the smart connectors to the side of the iPad. 

The support for the original Apple Pencil with such a recent product is a bit odd. The Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is long overdue for an update, but Apple has chosen to stick the iPad 10 with its predecessor. Moreover, the original Apple Pencil needs a Lightning port to charge, whereas the iPad 10 gets a USB-C. Apple is including a new USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter is required for pairing and charging and is included in the box with a new version of Apple Pencil.

The Pad 10 isn’t replacing the entry-level iPad, at least for now. Instead, it’s coming in at a higher price and being sold alongside it.

The existing iPad starts at Rs 33,900. 

The new iPad 10 is available in a bunch of new colours, such as silver, blue, pink, and yellow, For storage, the iPad 10 is available in 64GB and 256GB options.

The WiFi only 64GB iPad 10 starts at Rs 44,900, whereas the WiFi + Cellular version of the 64GB variant start at Rs 59,900. The 256GB variant WiFi only versionis available for Rs 59,900, whereas the 256GB variant of the WiFi + Cellular version costs Rs 74,900. The iPad 10 will be available starting October 28 in India.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
