Apple's Spring Loaded event, set for April 20, will not contain anything "particularly innovative" or "extraordinary." That is according to Mark Gurman, one of the most reliable Apple analysts in the biz. When asked what the significance of the event is to Apple, Gurman replied: "Nothing you are going to be seeing next week is particularly innovative… There's nothing extraordinary that we haven't seen before from Apple or anyone else. These are more iterative updates."
However, that doesn't mean there's nothing to look forward to at next Tuesday's event. Gurman explained that the main thing to look out for is an updated iPad Pro with a new processor that is "on par" with the M1 found inside the latest batch of MacBooks, as well as in the Mac Mini. The biggest tweak to the iPad Pro will come to its display, Gurman claims. The larger of the two iPad Pro models (the 12.9-inch version) will be kitted out with a mini-LED screen, which will noticeably ramp up its brightness and contrast ratio to create a "better user experience." |

LG caused quite a stir when it unveiled the first production version of its remarkable rollable television at CES 2019. The LG Signature OLED R TV first went on sale six months ago, but only in LG's home country of South Korea. This month, however, LG's 4K, 65-inch rollable TV has become more widely available and is now on sale in 15 additional countries, including the U.S.
If you're wondering about how much the TV costs — and you surely are — then make sure you're sitting down. The product page doesn't show pricing in local currencies, but we do know that folks in South Korea have had to fork out 100 million Korean Won (about $90,000) for LG's rollable Signature OLED R TV. Digital Trends has contacted the company about U.S. pricing and we will update this article when we hear back.
Why the high price? Well, how many TVs do you know that roll up and disappear into the stylishly designed soundbar at its base when you hit the off button? |

Mortal Kombat has a bit of a reputation in the film world. While the franchise is universally beloved in the gaming sphere, its movie adaptations aren't quite so revered. The original Mortal Kombat movie from 1995 is a sort of "so bad, it's good" affair, but 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is simply "so bad, it's bad"
Now, a new challenger is entering the ring. Warner Bros. is releasing a new Mortal Kombat film this month, which acts as a reboot for the silver screen version of the series. Digital Trends spoke to the cast and crew of the latest film to find out what's different about the new take. The answer is, well, just about everything. |

In a brand-spanking new update, Google has added a handful of enhancements to its impressive Timelapse feature in Google Earth, which shows in greater detail than ever how our planet has changed over the last 37 years.
Google launched its Timelapse feature in 2013, though at the time it was only two dimensional. The latest update adds 3D imagery, with the new content representing the biggest update to Google Earth in four years. The newly enhanced Timelapse feature reveals dramatic changes in our precious planet, from retreating glaciers and deforestation to eroding coasts and expanding cities. |
