iPhone SE 2020 - The Gateway Into The Apple Eco System - New Budget iPhone

Apple just released their New iPhone SE, it checks all the boxes that people expect from an iPhone SE. This release will have a great impact on market. Usually when a company manufactures a budget smartphone, their main focus is to put as many bells and whistles as possible. This is something that diverts the focus from crucial parts to the form factor of the phone. But Apple did things the right way, they instead focused more on performance and other important factors.

iPad Pro 2020 - COVID-19 - Silent Release by Apple

At the time of writing this post, the world is going through a time of disaster. Some might say that the Earth is taking a break from the stress we have given it.
