Apple says that there are more than 10K mini-LEDs on the 12.9-inch model, which is far more than the 72 LED’s on the iPad Pro 2020.

iPhone 12 BOGO deals, iPad Pros and more devices are also on sale

We started this week’s deals selection with several Android phones selling for as low as $100, but that doesn’t mean that deans can get even sweeter. Right now, you can get a new iPhone 12 with 64GB of storage space free of charge when you head over to Verizon. Now, things aren’t as easy as we’d wish, but requirements aren’t that impossible to fulfill.
First, you have to buy a new iPhone 12 with an eligible Unlimited plan on a monthly payment plan, which will have you paying $33.33 for one of your new devices, while Big Red will cover the other. And for those who switch, they will get a bonus of $250 credit. And if you currently own an iPhone 1 Pro, you may want to check out the latest deal on Twelve South’s BookBook, which is currently selling for $46.45 after a $23.54 discount.
The latest iPad Pro lineup is also on sale. You can grab a new 12.9-inch iPad Pro with 256GB of storage space and WiFi connectivity for just $999 after a $100 discount. The smaller 11-inch iPad Pro can be yours with the same 256GB of storage space and WiFi support for $849 with $50 savings.
You can also check out some deals on protection for your new iPads, as you can get the Magic Keyboard for 12.9-inch iPad Pro for $249 after seeing a $100 discount, or grab the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Air and 11-inch iPad Pro for $199 with the same $100 savings.

It’s official! OnePlus will no longer make McLaren Edition smartphones
Earlier this month we covered how OnePlus’ name wasn’t on McLaren’s list of collaborators anymore. Now, a McLaren spokesperson just went on record and officially stated that their partnership has come to an end. According to him, it came to their scheduled conclusion and that OnePlus has been supportive and that they wish to see them in the future. We got two phones out of their partnership and we don’t know how they’ll handle the Concept One if it ever comes out, since yes, that was a McLaren phone.
Sony schedules a PlayStation 5 game reveal event on June 5
And listen, if there’s a time for gaming consoles, it’s now, as we need to stay at home, and it seems Sony is willing to bank on it. The company just announced that they’ll be hosting an event on June 4th for the PlayStation 5. Sony is promising to showcase ‘the future of gaming’ at this event which typically means that we’ll be seeing some games for the upcoming console. We haven’t gotten any other details from Sony but a recent report claims that they might show a total of 38 games including a bunch of exclusives. The event will be live on YouTube and Twitch and we hope to get to see some hardware as well. Let’s also hope that hardware is not crazy expensive, as that would be unrealistic in today’s economy.
Apple needs an urgent supply of LCD panels from LG Display
It looks like the pandemic is affecting Apple in sales but not in the conventional way. Cupertino originally cut orders for their products in Q2 to anticipate the pandemic. What they didn’t anticipate is that due to the transition to e-learning, iPad stocks in China have been down since March because most parents have bought one for their kids to attend school from home. This would be good for Apple if they wouldn’t have cut orders before, and now they’re urgently asking LG for LCD panels to meet their iPad demands. The problem is, these requests usually come three months in advance to give room for LG to prepare. Apple has other providers for the iPad displays like BOE and Sharp, but LG might want to answer this because of their deal to supply displays for the iPhone 12 Max. Clearly this is a good problem to have right now.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20+ cameras leaked?
According to this new leak, the Galaxy Note 20 will fix some of the focusing issues we had with the S20 Ultra from a hardware perspective. The leak gives us both of the camera arrays, the regular Note 20 will apparently bring a 12MP main sensor, a 64MP telephoto, and a 12MP Ultra Wide. On the other side, the Note 20+ will bring the 108MP main sensor, a 12MP telephoto, a 12MP ultra wide and laser autofocus. The laser autofocus would help the main sensor to lock into subjects and while the 12MP telephoto doesn’t sound as impressive in paper as the S20 Ultras 48MP, the 12MP telephoto might help out during pixel binning as the Ultra does create 12MP images after all. It looks like the camera won’t be that different from the S20’s, let’s just hope they refine it. Now if only they included the return of variable aperture. A sensor this large needs it.
Story of the day:
Pixel 4a XL leaks show what the phone looked like before it was canceled
And finally the most interesting news today have to do with the Google Pixel 4a XL. I know, that one that apparently won’t get to ever be. Most of the leaks have hinted that there won’t be a 4a XL variant this year but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in development. We have some leaked images from 9to5Google of Pixel 4a cases where we see the familiar design. It has the orange Power button, the hole for the fingerprint scanner at the back and the 3.5mm headphone jack. However, the camera cutout shows too lenses here and we’re only expecting a single shooter for the 4a. We also have some CAD renders of the phone which show the dual lens camera and the punch hole at the front. Why dual cameras on this phone and not on the small variant is a good question, but even more important, why do you think Google cancelled this phone?

Today’s deals include the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S10
We kick off the weekend with some amazing deals. Let’s head over to B&H Photo Video, where there’s a huge sale on the mid-2019’s Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro. Savings will vary depending on the variant you choose. Still, our best pick is the Space Gray variant that includes a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB in storage, and four Thunderbolt 3 ports, which is currently selling for $1,499 after a $300 discount.
Next up, we go to Amazon, where there are several Samsung Galaxy S10 devices on sale. These are factory unlocked phones, which also include a US warranty. You can get the 512GB option for $700 after a $300 discount, or you could go for the same device, with bundled Galaxy Buds for $808, which lets you save $471 from its original price.
You can also get a new Acer Spin 15 from Best Buy. This device comes with an Intel Pentium processor, 4GB RAM and a 64GB SSD for $379 after a $70 discount.
Going back to Amazon, we find that the Acer 27” WQHD TN Monitor with AMD Freesync Technology is $80 off, meaning you can get one for just under $300
Apple’s Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad is also on sale. You can get this wireless and rechargeable keypad for $130 after a $19 discount.
Last but not least, the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch is $11.30 off in its Teal Frost variant and $12.53 off in its Spider Lightning color option, meaning you can get one starting at $37.46 and you get free shipping.

It seems that some iPad Pro users are having battery issues because of the Magic Keyboard
Apple’s new Magic Keyboard is a new accessory for the latest iPad Pro, which includes a responsive multi-touch trackpad and a backlit keyboard that may be great for making this tablet, the ultimate portable productivity tool. However, it seems that it’s also starting to cause problems among its users. A number of these have reported their frustration about how this Magic Keyboard drains the battery of its device too fast, and it’s even worse if the battery drain problems affect the iPad Pro when not in use.
There hasn’t been a real explanation for this issue, but the iPad Insight blog has been aware of this problem, and it seems that you could get your Magic Keyboard replaced under warranty if it’s affecting your battery life.
The second is pretty obvious- backlight vs no backlight. I expected better battery life with the backlight of the Magic Keyboard off, but it still wasn’t nearly as much of a reduction as I anticipating. During my last test, I still dropped over 25% during two hours of writing. For comparison, using the iPad Pro by itself this weekend, I burned 45% during 5 straight hours of watching streaming video with audio playing though the iPad’s speakers. I expect that sort of usage with a bigger demand on power, but it’s still reasonable. This battery drain lines right up with the overall 10 hour rated battery life of the Pro. In comparison, losing a quarter of my battery capacity simply by typing with no backlight for two hours is NOT reasonable.
The only way to finish testing my theory was to get another one and see if it yielded better results. I did that late last week and I have been testing it while finishing up this article and doing some other work over the last two days. I started off by typing with the key backlight off and using the trackpad as I go through and edit this and another article. It appears that my battery life with this Magic Keyboard is far better than my first. I only dropped only 6% in an hour of solid use. While this isn’t the same performance as the Smart Keyboard Folio, it still fits in the 10 hour battery window we expect from the iPad Pro.
The guys over at 9to5Mac have also started a poll to see how many users are experiencing these issues. At the time of this post, 33 percent of its users have reported problems; another 32 percent say they haven’t, but 34 % of users are unsure or just voted to see the poll’s result. How about you? Are you having issues with your battery life because of the Magic Keyboard?
