Report claims AirPower, 2nd Gen AirPods and new iPad to launch in March

Apple first announced its Airpower wireless charger alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone X in 2017. Since then, Apple has been silent on the subject and reports have claimed that delays were caused by an ambitious design that was doomed to fail. Whatever the hold up was, it looks like Apple may have found a way to move past it, with Airpower now rumoured to be coming in March.

Over at iPhonehellas, supply chain sources are claiming that second-gen AirPods, AirPower wireless chargers and a new entry-level 9.7-inch iPad are all set to launch in March. Apparently, Apple will be holding an announcement event in mid-March, with pre-orders set to go live on the 22nd of March. Shipping will then begin on the 29th of March.

It is worth noting that this particular site doesn't have much of a track record but there has been buzz surrounding new AirPods and an upcoming iPad for months now. We've also been due to hear about AirPower for well over a year.

If this latest leak is legitimate, then it won't be long before we have more details from other sources.

KitGuru Says: AirPower is the last piece to tie Apple's iOS ecosystem together. It is surprising that it has taken this long but hopefully Apple will finally be ready to launch soon.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
