Fifty-hour battery life, robustt noise cancellation (one of the strongest I’ve ever used), and top-notch sound quality, paired with a tweaked design and improved earcup structure culminates into an audio-emanating masterpiece. And sure, a lot of these updates are more iterative than revolutionary over the Life Q35 and Life Q30 headphones, but as you will learn, the smallest changes can make the greatest impact.

Adding fuel to the fire on Tuesday is revered Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who says we should anticipate two new iPad Pro models next week, according to a Mac Rumors report.

While there’s no big fix for the issue, we’ve got instructions for how to clear those data-leaking files from your system.

Taiwanese tech site DigiTimes (opens in new tab) (via MacRumors (opens in new tab)) name-dropped the AirPods Pro Lite in a report about Apple shifting the production of certain devices – the iPad, Apple Watch and iMac – to Taiwan as the Coronavirus causes disruptions in China. “Apple, maintaining partnerships with supply chains in both Taiwan and China, may have its Taiwanese partners handle more production of new-generation ‌iPad‌, ‌Apple Watch‌, AirPod Pro Lite and ‌iMac‌ devices to be released later,” DigiTimes wrote....

Starting at $329 ($299 for schools), the 1-pound iPad has an A10 processor that offers faster speeds than Apple’s previous generation slate.

Apple is also introducing new versions of its own apps, including Pages, Numbers and Keynote. And the company previewed a feature that will be coming later called Smart Annotation....

With the introduction of watchOS 9, we already have an idea of what this rumored rugged model will offer. This included the addition of heart rate zones, allowing you to target a specific intensity for your workout and let your watch notify you if you are “in the zone.” Additional fitness tracking updates include the ability to see splits, intervals, and elevation changes when running or hiking. These new data tracking features could also be used in the different extreme sports the rugged model is expected to track....

More: How to unlock your iPhone with Apple Watch As the report suggests, there are a number of ways biometric identification could come in handy on Apple’s popular smartwatch. For one, it could make unlocking a user’s Apple Watch much easier compared to punching in a passcode. It will also make unlocking your iPhone or unlocking your MacBook with an Apple Watch a much easier task. While Apple Watch lets you pay for items via Apple Pay, the only thing standing in the way of making a successful transaction is a passcode, which users only input when they take their Apple Watch off and put it back on....

Editor’s Note: Earlier, we reported that this laptop was called the ZenBook 3 Flip, based on the information card we saw next to a demo unit at the Computex opening press conference. It is in fact called the ZenBook Flip S. Asus’s new 2-in-1 looks very similar to the ZenBook 3, using premium aluminum with a ring around the diamond-cut sides of the lid. The 2.4-pound laptop will be available in the same eye-popping royal blue and gold color scheme that we loved on the ZenBook 3....

That’s why Asus is supersizing its Scar line of notebooks to 17.3 inches with the ROG Strix Scar II (17-inch). Starting at $1,699, the Scar II will be available during the first half of September. We first heard of the 15.6-inch Scar II back at Computex and were impressed with both its design and specs and the 17-inch version looks like it’s going to follow suit. On the outside, the Scar II sports the same attention-grabbing two-tone CNC aluminum lid as the Zephyrus....

Alphabet Soup and Number Stew Most of Asus’ model names include a combination of letters and numbers. It’s confusing, but there is some logic to it. For example, Asus’ Q series laptops are all 2-in-1s, while the UX series are ZenBooks C series are Chromebooks and the GX, GL and G series are all part of the Republic of Gamers line. The rest — the K, X, E, Q, B, V and F series — tend to be low-cost notebooks and are often (but not always) folded into the VivoBook line....

Asus’ ROG Zephyrus S redefines what it means to be Max-Q, taking on the mantle of the world’s slimmest gaming laptop (again). For $1,999, this sexy beast comes armed with a powerful 8th Gen Core i7 processor and a GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU. To top it all off, the Zephyrus S has a nearly bezel-less 15.6-inch, 1080p panel with a smooth 3-millisecond response time, as well as speakers that will make you forget you’re not wearing headphones....

Design On the 15-inch ZenBook Pro, Asus takes a simple, almost stately approach to design. The machine features an all-aluminum chassis topped by the company’s signature concentric ring finish on the metallic gray lid, with subtle, polished edges on the sides. When you pry open the lid, there are more concentric rings set near the rear of the keyboard, and an ample, brushed metal deck where you can rest your palms....

Not only is it giving Android users something unique, but it is projected to arrive starting at just $599 in North America. If it can hold anywhere near that price, this phone is going to be an amazing value. It features the same Snapdragon 888 processor found in phones that cost twice as much, and as you’ll see, it beats quite a few of them in overall performance. Delivering that true flagship-level performance at those prices isn’t something we’ve seen yet....
