5G speed, A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone. An edge-to-edge OLED display. Ceramic Shield with four times better drop performance. And Night mode on every camera. iPhone 12 has it all. 5G on iPhone is superfast. So you can download movies on the fly. Stream higher-quality video. Or FaceTime in HD over cellular. With lots less lag. And you can do it in more places, because iPhone 12 has the broadest 5G coverage worldwide. A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone. And it pushes what~s possible. Like crunching trillions of operations on the Neural Engine. Or shooting in Dolby Vision ~ even pro movie cameras can~t do that. It~s superefficient for great battery life. And it~s ahead of its time, prepared to power pretty much anything that comes next. Vastly more contrast. Incredible color accuracy. A huge jump in pixel density. OLED delivers brighter brights, darker blacks, and higher resolution for everything you look at. This is the best iPhone display we~ve ever made, and it goes all the way to the edge. Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras now have Night mode ~ and it~s better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. The new Wide camera brings in 27 percent more light. So whether you take photos by day or by moonlight, you~ll get a level of detail and color that wasn~t possible before. Night mode senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautiful vibrant color. All you have to do is start snapping. Deep Fusion, in mid to low light, analyzes multiple exposures to maximize detail. Check out the texture in the wood, fabric, and crystal. And the Ultra Wide gets you a heroic perspective. Smart HDR 3 balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich color of the sky ~ even at high noon. Beyond faces, Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning to recognize scenes, then adjusts sharpness, color, and white balance where needed. Even in bright light, Smart HDR 3 is amazing at capturing texture, skin tone, color saturation, and individual details that make photos feel TRUE to life. Portrait mode is even better at artfully blurring the background to put all the focus on your subject. How do you improve on the highest-quality video in a smartphone? Make it even better in low light ~ a full 27 percent better. That means no hour is off limits for more beautifully detailed video. Then there~s Night mode Time-lapse. Just prop up your iPhone and let the light trails begin. Now you can record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision. Edit in Photos or iMovie. Then zap it to your TV using AirPlay to see all that color and detail. It~s a start-to-finish cinematic experience ~ found only on iPhone. Which comes in handy when your dog does something adorable. Snap on a new MagSafe case, wallet, or both. (Fear not, the wallet is shielded so it~s safe for credit cards.) Magnets align themselves perfectly every time for faster wireless charging. iOS 14 is packed with shortcuts that get you just what you want, right when you want it. iPhone is designed to protect your information. Face ID data doesn~t leave your iPhone and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else. iOS shows you an app~s privacy practices before you download it. When you use Apple Pay, your card number isn~t shared with merchants. And the list goes on. To charge your new iPhone, you can continue to use your USB~A to Lightning cable. Or you can take advantage of fast charging with the USB~C to Lightning cable now included in the box, which works with existing USB~C power adapters and computer ports.

Protect your Galaxy Tab S11 with a cover that's both versatile and stylish. The Book Cover magnetically attaches to your Galaxy Tab and lets you stand it in both horizontal and vertical positions, so you can easily adjust the angle for reading, watching videos or working.
 

Does this cover have a spot to keep/store/protect the s pen?

No it does not. They removed the spot that the previous model had. Hate that it was removed.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Gaming Laptop. Enjoy everyday gaming with this ASUS notebook PC. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB of RAM let you run graphics-heavy games smoothly, while the potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics produce high-quality visuals on the fast 15.6-inch 165hz QHD display. This ASUS notebook PC has 1TD SSD that shortens load times and offers ample storage.
 

Which will be a better overall purchase? Ryzen 9 w/ 3070 or 11th gen i9 w/ 3060?

I wrestled with this as I am still in my exchange period. I still want to keep the g15. My reason better bang for the same price. Raising the resolution of the 16 and still only a6 gig 3060 is my concern. If it were a 3070 I would have exchanged … at the same price. Anything higher price diminishing returns kick in. Also 16:10 equals black bars and not all game support it. Battery life and intel heat. If you rely on true thunderbolt you really have no other option than the M16.

Will setting in-game resolution to 1080p look bad on the 1440p display?

Depends on the games for the most part it looks great. At least anything made in the last 10 years.

What is the wattage of the 3070 in this laptop? Also if I want to install another ssd, would opening the back cover void warranty?

TDP is 100. Plenty quick. It’s a trade off higher TDP equals heat and battery life. So you need to decide if you have it on your lap and want portability or will it be sitting plugged in always. If so. I would look at Alienware but 2k screen… that is what grabbed me.

How often do ASUS models like this get restocked? I'm hoping it will become available before collage starts again.

Based on history every other week. You have to check daily, that is how I snagged one.
