The iPad Air (2020) officially went on sale on 23 October, with a starting price of £579/US$599 . Announced at the company’s “Time Flies” event on 15 September, the 2020 iPad Air is a significant redesign for Apple’s mid-range tablet. The most significant change is a significant slimming of the bezels, giving the device a larger 10.9in screen within the same body as its predecessor. That means there’s no room for the home button, with Touch ID moved to the power button for the first time on any Apple device....

For all its talk of wireless this and that, tech gear is still a bunch of lumpy chargers and snakes of different cables, plus at least one adapter, and, for the road warrior, a mouse and portable power bank. All the gear, if loose and unorganized, will work itself to the bottom of a bag—or worse be forgotten and left at home as you head out to the office or on holiday....

Data breach statistics from aggregators globally paint a gloomy picture of the cyberspace we inhabit.

Here, we discuss everything we know so far about Bloodborne 2, including release date rumours, platform availability and what to expect in terms of gameplay....
