Flying with iPad mini: A pilot's review
You don't. The navigation apps are stored on the device and use GPS to map - same as any satnav in a car. They'll also access the internet on the ground for planning routes using live weather data, but those plans are made before flying.crlee said:Just curious…. How does one in small planes like this connect to the internet while in the air?

EU proposing USB-C smartphone charger standard
Absolutely ridiculous. In the 2+ years time before this would even come into force there might well be something that replaces USB-C. Legislating for time to stand still and to ban technology from moving forward is a ludicrous way of going about things.
I wish Apple had moved to USB-C long ago. but I hope that they've moved to fully wireless before this comes into force just to make them look stupid.

Original iPad mini versus iPad mini 6 - how far we've come
The iPad mini has always pretty much been a scaled-down iPad - same feature set in a smaller body.AppleInsider said:
The iPhone 12 mini is a low-end iPhone that happens to be in a smaller body. Sales figures show it's not done well, and the conclusion everyone leaps to is that nobody wants a small iPhone. Which may well be true, but certainly can't be proven by the figures alone.
I'd love a high-end phone that can be used by one hand again. Been wanting one since the 5 was killed off.

Hands on with the Google Pixel 3a XL - performance from 2016 with a 2019 camera
Apart from the $449 iPhone 7 that Apple sells of course...smaffei said:So, Google tackles a market that Apple continually chooses to ignore. The sub $500 phone demand (that's growing).I hope the Pixel 3a sells well. If it does, we'll probably see an iPhone SE 2. Apple being reactionary and not visionary anymore.
