YouTube on iOS finally takes advantage of Split View and Slide Over

Our iPad Pro review from late November showed off the Split View, Slide Over and Picture-in-Picture multitasking features that came with an updated iOS. Of course, a lot of time on iTunes was due, but just on half of the screen (or less!). But no time on YouTube was really possible as such — ...

iPad mini 4 display apparently outclasses all tablets, iPad Pro included

Apple’s approach to hardware is always a mixed bag if you start comparing newer products with existing ones. Right now a new MacBook is far less powerful and more expensive than the entry-level MacBook Air, but it packs a far better display, trackpad technology, you name it. If you thought this was only happening in the desktop environment, think again, as iPads are also prone to this apparently.DisplayMate Technologies has gained a lot of fame for its display tests, and the firm just decided to ...
