Grab this aloe version while it’s still in stock. | Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge Google’s Pixel 8A is the kind of phone you tell your parents or your hair stylist to buy (hi, Shannon!). The interface is straightforward and clean, it offers a high level of dust and water resistance, and it’ll receive regular software updates for the next seven years. That’ll give you a lot of peace of mind recommending it to friends and family. The cameras aren’t quite as good as what you’d get on the regular Pixel 8 or a newer Pixel 9, but they’re reliable and can even tackle some tricky scenarios, like when the northern lights sneak up on you in your own backyard. The 8A also has Qi wireless charging and a smooth-scrolling 120Hz screen — two features that you’ll be hard-pressed to find in another phone under $400. Its full price... Continue reading…

Apple will likely introduce a new iPad mini in the coming weeks. Three years after Cupertino last revamped its smallest tablet, there are several features we expect Apple to add to the iPad mini 7, making it a solid option for buyers. Even though a redesign and new display technology are expected for 2026 or 2027, there are at least five other features we think Apple will add to the iPad mini 7. A18 chip: When Apple introduced the iPad mini 6, the company added the newest A15 Bionic chip, exclusively available for the iPhone 13. If Cupertino follows the trend, this new iPad will feature the A18 chip. With that, Apple will double the performance on this new iPad, while also improving memory bandwidth and power efficiency. Apple Intelligence: The only two iPad models that don't feature Apple Intelligence are the mini and the base-model options. Since the iPad mini is almost an iPad Air with a smaller display, we think Apple will add 8GB of RAM to this device so it can run Apple Intelligence features. Image source: Apple Inc. Apple Pencil Pro: Apple has made a mess out of its Apple Pencil offering. There are four different accessories that work with different iPads. If the company wants to make sense of this confusing lineup, it might add support for Apple Pencil Pro with this upcoming tablet, which would add support for squeeze gestures, haptic feedback, and Find My integration. Camera tweak: Now, the only iPad that doesn't offer a front-facing camera on the landscape edge is the iPad mini. This next iteration could make the switch. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple doesn't tweak this iPad's camera, as it's the most portable and easy to use in portrait orientation. Improved connectivity offerings: The new iPhone offers Wi-Fi 7 capabilities. However, BGR expects Apple to upgrade the iPad mini 7 with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and perhaps an eSIM technology instead of a physical SIM tray. Wrap up The new iPad mini 7 will likely be announced at Apple's upcoming October event. Would these features be enough to make you upgrade to this tablet? BGR will let you know once we learn more about it. Don't Miss: Apple Pencil comparison: 1st-gen, 2nd-gen, USB-C, or Pro – which is best for your iPad?

The Wheel of Fortune BetMGM Big Winners Tournament ended recently with Cody Hunger as the winner. Cody went home with $94,000 after attempting the bonus round with $27,150 and a trip to Atlantic City guaranteed. Although fans were happy about Cody’s win, they critiqued show host Ryan Seacrest heavily on social media for his conduct during the episode. In a bid to create some suspense, Ryan delayed announcing the winner’s feat, leaving him to doubt himself for a few seconds. What did Ryan Seacrest do? After spinning the wheel to reveal the potential prize for a lucky viewer, Cody chose the letters of his name for the revealed four-word puzzle. Once Cody stated his answer, letter-turner Vanna White did a little celebration and began clapping at the puzzle board; however, Ryan did not declare him the winner immediately. The TV personality delayed for a bit, causing Cody to panic and attempt to change his answer, while Vanna looked awkward in the corner for her premature celebration. A few seconds later, Ryan confirmed Cody’s answer, and the contestant’s instant relief was clear to all. Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White / Instagram Fans react to Ryan Seacrest’s first blooper The night ended with confetti all over Cody as he jubilated on stage with his wins displayed on screen, including the lucky viewer’s $40,000. Soon after the episode, fans took to social media to discuss Ryan’s failed attempt at creating suspense, noting that it must have been a nightmare for Cody to be kept waiting like that. Ryan Seacrest / Instagram They also compared him to former host Pat Sajak, saying he would have never pulled such a move. A few people came to Ryan’s defense, saying Vanna’s immediate reaction must have made the scenario awkward and not that Ryan tried to create tension. The 45-year-old is currently working hard to please Wheel Of Fortune viewers, which has been no easy task since his debut.
