Apple finally launched its new iPad Air and iPad mini – here’s everything you need to know
Early on Monday morning, Apple’s online store mysteriously went offline, which is an unequivocal sign that new hardware was on the way. We’ve been expecting Apple to introduce a bunch of new products this month, including new entry-level iPads (iPad 7 and iPad mini 5), the AirPods 2 truly wireless earbuds, and the AirPower wireless charger that can charge three devices at once, to name a few. But we weren’t so sure that any of them would be unveiled next week during the company’s first keynote of the year. The star of that show is expected to be Apple’s upcoming new streaming video service that will take on the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video, so there was apparently no room for new hardware products at that event. The Apple store is now back online, and now we know precisely what Apple’s new products are.

Google’s upcoming Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL look stunning in these new renders
This is already shaping up to be a very exciting year for smartphone fans. Well, it would be more accurate to say that 2019 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Android smartphone fans. Apple’s upcoming new iPhone 11 handsets are pretty much expected to be another round of “S” upgrades at this point. According to reports from the most accurate Apple insider on the planet, Apple’s is sticking to the same notch design it introduced back in 2017 for this year’s new iPhone models. They’ll sport new cameras and some other new features along with performance upgrades, but the look will supposedly be about the same. Meanwhile, Android phone makers have finally decided to stop copying Apple — for now, at least — and come up with some exciting new designs of their own.
Smartphone makers are trying all sorts of new ways to inch closer to all-screen smartphone designs. They’re all stopgap solutions to tide us over while we wait for nifty new tech that allows cameras and other sensors to be hidden out of sight underneath a phone’s display. In the meantime, companies are launching phones with pop-up cameras, slide-out cameras, and hole-punch cameras like the new Galaxy S10 line. It’s that last design Google reportedly ended up choosing for its Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, and now the company’s supposed leaked designs for its Pixel 4 lineup have been mocked up in fantastic new renders.

Marvel gave us a huge Captain Marvel spoiler ahead of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and we nearly missed it
Captain Marvel won the box office again this weekend, and that’s hardly a surprise considering that it’s not only the most anticipated movie of the month but also the last film we needed to see before Avengers 4 hits theaters in late April. But Captain Marvel won the box office in style, raking in $69 million in the US over the weekend for a total of $265 million. That’s $760 when you add the rest of the world, which is a massive success for Disney. Fans everywhere are likely very interested to see the most powerful Avenger in action, ahead what’s coming in Avengers: Endgame, but the movie doesn’t tell us everything about the new hero. Marvel last week dropped a massive detail that we nearly missed about Captain Marvel, which could be very useful going into Endgame. If you haven’t seen Captain Marvel, you should know that spoilers follow below.

Facebook made him a billionaire, but WhatsApp’s cofounder insists you should delete Facebook
About a year ago, WhatsApp cofounder Brian Acton posted a brief message on Twitter telling people that it was time to #deletefacebook. At the time, the Delete Facebook campaign was a direct response to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. But Acton hasn’t changed his stance on the world’s largest social network. Facebook may have made him a billionaire, but he’s still telling people to “delete Facebook.”

NASA administrator Bridenstine wants everyone to know he still has faith in the SLS
Well, that certainly didn’t take long! Just a day after NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine alluded to the possibility of flying the new Orion crew capsule’s first experimental trip around the Moon using a pair of commercial rockets instead of NASA’s own Space Launch System which is still in development, he’s issued a new statement assuring everyone that the SLS is still a major part of NASA’s future.
In a new memo sent to all NASA employees and contractors, Bridenstine clarifies his statement and reassures everyone that NASA still very much anticipates the SLS rocket platform to be its next big thing.
