Compared: New 2022 iPad Air vs 2020 iPad Air
mangakatten said:The 11-inch iPad Pro with an M1 processor runs a 1,706 single-core and 7,219 multi-core score in Geekbench. This is with the 8-core M1 processor.
Meanwhile, the iPad Air 4 with A14 Bionic scored a 1,583 single-core and a 4,210 multi-core score. The A14 Bionic has a 6-core processor, explaining the lower multi-core scoreI really don’t understand how Apple got that 60% faster number from. I guess we will have to wait and se when the benchmarks will come.

Apple Watch glucose & blood pressure sensors still years away

As more and more research shows, once you are overweight, your body will fight tooth and nail to keep it by swiping down your metabolism PERMANENTLY, even after you gain your lost weight back. The only way to be healthy is to stay healthy and a glucose monitor can do wonders for this.Except that Type 2 diabetes is caused by animal fat -- either the type you eat or that which you wear. Avoiding carbohydrates is merely treating the symptoms -- as is taking your doctor's pills. Treating those symptoms is important, but ultimately fruitless because the disease itself chugs along just fine.Those who eat healthy, fiber filled diets either do not gain weight or, if they are overweight, they usually lose the fat when they start eating healthy. Unfortunately, most Americans think eating healthy means only two slices of pizza and a 12 ounce CocaCola. Then, once their microbiome is totally trashed and they're coming down with the Standard American Diseases from their Standard American Diet, they blame it on "age" or "metabolism".In America, its normal to sicken and die from our normal lifestyle. -
Apple Watch Series 7 uses same processor as predecessor

If they realized that their processor capability already surpassed software demands, I commend them for focusing their advancements (Screen seize, fast charging, durability) elsewhere—where people will actually see the benefits!I imagine they are working on a faster processor and will have it ready when it’s needed—just not to satisfy the spec obsessed.
As someone who grew up in the earlier years of computing, I truly remember how much each generation of processor design impacted the day-to-day usability of things. Yearly A-series and S-series updates sometimes feel like an unnecessary (but not unappreciated) luxury. -
Apple unveils new iPad mini with updated design, 5G

Since you probably own an iPhone anyway, you could just get an iPhone 12/13 Plus for $200 more when you next upgrade, saving ~$200 (or $350 if you need cellular), have just one device rather than two, and you're not that far off iPad mini display size. The only major disadvantage is no pencil on iPhone.
The iPad mini feels like a great tablet replacement to my Pro 10.5, with a more comfortable form factor and a screen that's not far off. Looking forward to picking one up.
