01/10/2020 by ALOK DAS

Along with the flagship model of Apple Watch Series 6, presented on September 15, 2020, a simplified version of the device was shown. She got the prefix SE. Thus, Apple Watch SE became the first non-smartphone product of the company to receive this index. And the watch is quite consistent with the approach associated with it – a rather powerful and functional device, devoid of flagship features, but also with a lower price tag.

Apple Watch SE display

Apple Watch SE received a frameless OLED LTPO Retina display, the same size and design as the flagship model  Watch Series 6. The screen size has grown by 30% compared to Apple Watch Series 3. Naturally, there were some simplifications. Force Touch technology is absent from the 2020 models at all – it has been replaced by a simple press and hold. Apple Watch SE did not receive the Always-on feature, which allows you to constantly display information on the screen. To turn on the screen, you must raise your wrist or touch the display.

The screen resolution of a 40 mm watch is 324 × 394 pixels, and for a 44 mm case – 368 × 448 pixels. These parameters coincide with the flagship solution, forming a similar density of points. Display area is 759 and 977 mm² for models with 40 and 44 mm body. The screen brightness is 1000 cd / m2²… The display is protected by Ion-X glass with an increased strength with an oleophobic coating.

“Iron” Apple Watch SE

The operation of this model is provided by a solution that is not a flagship, but quite relevant. The S5 system has a dual-core 64-bit processor. The same was installed in the previous flagship –  Watch Series 5. This system works up to two times faster than the S3-based system in the commercially available Series 3 watches. The Apple W3 chip provides wireless communication.

The internal storage of the watch received an impressive 32 GB, like the last two flagship models. Unfortunately, in our market we will not see a model with a Wi-Fi + Cellular module. Domestic buyers will have access to only watches with the GPS / GLONASS module. The watch supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n, but only works at 2.4 GHz, this model does not have 5 GHz support.

Apple Watch SE is equipped with an always-on altimeter, compass and GPS / GLONASS module will help with determining the coordinates and heading. The accelerometer has a wide range and is capable of detecting falls. Apple Watch SE has a gyroscope and an ambient light sensor. In addition, the watch received a microphone for the Noise application and a fairly loud speaker.

Apple Watch SE water resistance

Apple believes that the water resistance of the branded watch has already reached the required level. It is not surprising that there are no particular changes in the parameters over several series. Apple Watch SE can withstand submersion in water to a depth of 50 meters. It is convenient to swim in the watch – it will accurately calculate the distance covered and even draw a route when in an open reservoir. But deep-sea diving is contraindicated for watches, as are activities related to speed (water skiing and others).

Apple Watch SE features

It is quite expected that the SE model received fewer features than the flagship solution. Nevertheless, many users do not need such an abundance of functions – just for them the Apple Watch SE is intended. The main flagship “feature” – the blood oxygen level sensor, this watch did not receive. But there is a second generation sensor for measuring heart rate. Using the Pulse application, it will be possible to identify adverse symptoms and seek medical attention in time for research. The user himself receives notifications about too low or too high heart rate.

Apple Watch SE will be an excellent assistant for all people who monitor their activity. So with the help of the three rings of Activity: “Mobility”, “Exercise” and “With a warm-up”, you can evaluate your physical activity. Motivation will increase with friendly competitions, virtual rewards and personalized advice.

The watch is ideal for training. The user gets at his disposal many ready-made types of workouts: running, walking, yoga, cycling, sports dances, and more. Apple Watch SE can connect to compatible fitness equipment. To view fitness indicators, simply raise your hand and see the distance traveled, pace, calories burned, heart rate. The altimeter will help you track ascents and descents in real time.

The new Sleep application works in tandem with the iPhone. Thanks to the program, you can monitor sleep indicators, forming a daily routine and preparing the body for quality sleep. The watch monitors the duration of sleep, helps to assess trends in changes in indicators.

You can listen to your favorite music and podcasts right from the wrist – 70 million tracks are available in Apple Music. While washing your hands, the watch will remind you to do this for at least 20 seconds. Interaction with the iPhone makes the watch an irreplaceable assistant. For example, the Fall Detection and Emergency SOS functions will help you recognize a person who has fallen and, in the event of immobility, contact rescue services.

Apple Watch SE in conjunction with a smartphone makes it possible to answer calls and messages, pay for purchases, communicate with Siri, and work with maps. All the content you need is at your fingertips.

Apple Watch SE has received many new watch faces. It will not be difficult to find an option that suits your lifestyle, hobby or mood. Finding the desired watch face has become much easier, especially since watchOS 7 you can share the created cover with other users.

Apple Watch Series 6 review: what’s new, features, price in Russia

18/09/2020 by ALOK DAS

At the Apple presentation on September 15, 2020, the sixth generation of the Apple Watch was presented. It was this manufacturer that defined the unwritten standard for the entire segment. Apple watches are imitated, trying to at least to some extent repeat their success. Meanwhile, the company itself sells more of its watches than all the Swiss manufacturers combined. The fact speaks for itself eloquently. There is no doubt that the next series of watches will only consolidate the dominant position in the market. Apple Watch Series 6 has evolved significantly relative to its predecessor.

Apple Watch Series 6 display

Apple Watch Series 6 retains a bezel-less OLED LTPO Retina display. But the Force Touch technology in this device is absent – it was considered unnecessary – pressing with force was replaced by pressing and holding. The watch has a display brightness of 1000 cd / m2²… The screen resolution is 368 x 448 pixels for the 44 mm model and 324 x 394 pixels for the 40 mm model. Depending on the size, the display area will be 759 and 977 mm 2.

The beloved Always-on display is now even more powerful. In this mode, which allows you to constantly display basic information on the screen, the watch will shine 2.5 times brighter than its predecessor. This is especially important on the street, in an inactive mode. Previously, to view the time, you had to raise your hand to activate the maximum brightness, now you can see the information even without moving your wrist. The operation of this mode practically does not affect the autonomy of the device.

Apple Watch Series 6 features

The rich functionality of the Apple Watch is exactly what makes the product inaccessible to competitors. The new model has received an important function – measuring the level of oxygen in the blood (in detail).

By itself, this feature is not new to the mobile technology market, previously something similar has already been implemented by Samsung, but then hid deep in the submenu of its smartphone. Apple suggests measuring blood oxygen levels using a special sensor in the watch and an app.

Moreover, the device can take measurements in the background, both day and night. The sensor consists of four LED clusters and four LEDs. To accommodate this structure, the concept of the watch back has been rethought.

Data on the level of oxygen in the blood is very important just at the present time, because the coronavirus causes serious changes in this parameter. The watch takes only 15 seconds to take measurements.

The list of countries in which the blood oxygen measurement function works on Apple Watch:

In addition, the watch has a second generation heart rate sensor. Thanks to the Pulse application, it will be possible to pay attention to adverse symptoms and consult a specialist in time.

As with previous watch models, there is a compass, an accelerometer with fall detection, a gyroscope and an ambient light sensor. In conjunction with the iPhone, all the information and content you need is at hand. You can answer calls and messages right from the wrist, pay for purchases with your watch and Apple Pay, and ask Siri for help, including translation. The watch will help you work with maps, vibrations on your wrist, informing you about a turn on the way.

2020 iPad Air review design, cameras, specs, price

17/09/2020 by ALOK DAS

Traditionally in September Apple presents its new smartphones. But in 2020, both the format of the event and its content have changed. The new iPhones will come out later, but for now, other products have come to the fore. The expected update has undergone the iPad line. And if the youngest member of the family turned out to be a cosmetic improvement of its predecessor, then the iPad Air 4 (2020) has evolved significantly. It is no coincidence that this particular product was called the main one at the presentation. And it’s not a shame to call the iPad Air a real masterpiece of the world of technology.

♥ BY TOPIC: Review of iOS 14: Description of the 100 most important innovations + links.

With the presentation of the 2020 iPad Air, Apple showed that the line is still relevant, and also emphasized the persistence of the chosen path of development of tablets. The “air” tablet has enlarged the screen without sacrificing overall dimensions and has become much more powerful.

♥ BY TOPIC: IPad 8 (2020) Review: Design, Specs, Cameras, and Price

2020 iPad Air design and dimensions

The design of the new iPad Air has been significantly redesigned. The main part of the front panel is occupied by a display with rounded corners and a diagonal of 10.9 inches. The frame around it turned out to be quite thin and of constant width. The Home button under the screen is no longer there, and the Touch ID sensor on the top button is responsible for quick and easy authentication. On the side there are volume buttons and a magnetic surface for connecting accessories.

The iPad Air is made from recycled aluminum, which is just one of Apple’s ways to help the environment. The dimensions of the tablet are insignificant, but have changed – it has become a little wider – 178.5 mm, but at the same time a little lower – 247.6 mm. But the thickness of the device remains the same – 6.1 mm. The weight of the device has hardly changed either – 460 g in the LTE version and 458 g in the Wi-Fi model.

An important change was the abandonment of the 3.5mm jack. But audiophiles will be pleasantly pleased with the appearance of two additional speakers – a combination of four sources will give out really powerful and rich sound, albeit stereo. The familiar Lightning port is gone too.

Apple has taken a step towards universal solutions by ditching the proprietary connector on the 2020 iPad Air in favor of the mainstream USB-C with fast charging capabilities.

Obviously, these changes bring the tablet closer to the older model, the iPad Pro.

2020 iPad Air performance and storage

The 2020 iPad Air presentation focused on the power and capabilities of this device. You shouldn’t be surprised – the heart of the tablet is the flagship A14 Bionic chip with 64-bit architecture, which allows you to bring your ideas to life. The 6-core processor is made using 5-nanometer technology, which other manufacturers can only dream of. The chip has 11.8 billion transistors, and its speed is 11 trillion operations per second. The dedicated Neural Engine controller is responsible for machine learning and has 16 cores at its disposal, which takes capabilities to the next level. Machine learning is now 70% faster than the previous generation.

The generation of the GPU has also been updated, although the number of cores remains the same, the frequency of their operation has increased. This gave a 30% increase in speed over the 2019 model.

The storage capacity of the 2020 iPad Air repeats the parameters of its predecessor – 64 and 256 GB. This is a sensible split that will satisfy almost any need.

The built-in battery received a capacity of 28.6 W ∙ h. The manufacturer claims that this is enough for 10 hours of surfing the Internet or watching videos. For Wi-Fi + Cellular models, the battery will give you up to 9 hours of internet use when connected to it via a cellular connection.

The 2020 iPad Air has an updated main camera. It is now a 12MP wide-angle camera with an f / 1.8 aperture. There is a Smart HDR function and support for proprietary Live Photos with stabilization. In general, the camera can be called quite advanced, with the possibility of shooting a panorama, the emerging automatic stabilization, noise reduction and a wide color range. But this module did not receive a hardware flash. The camera can shoot video up to 4K resolution at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second. It is possible to shoot slow-motion video with a resolution of 1080p and a frequency of 120 or 240 frames per second. Improved image stabilization capabilities when shooting. The camera can take 8MP stills while recording 4K video.

The module can shoot HD video with a frame rate of up to 60 per second, has a wide color range for photos and Live Photos, Smart HDR function, the ability to do continuous shooting. The screen is responsible for the flash via Retina Flash. Despite the convergence with the iPad Pro lineup, Face ID isn’t available on the 2020 iPad Air.

Previously, this accessory was only supported by Apple’s professional line of tablets. Such a digital pen Apple costs 11 490 rubles.

The possibility of connecting Smart Keyboard is preserved, but already of a new generation. This accessory acts as a keyboard and when folded is an elegant cover. Plus, the 2020 iPad Air can work with the Magic Keyboard too. This accessory attaches itself to the back of the tablet, keeping it suspended. The keyboard has backlit keys and a touchpad. And with the USB-C port, you can also recharge your iPad. Smart Keyboard Folio costs 13,990 rubles, and Magic Keyboard costs 26,990 rubles.

The 2020 iPad Air is Apple’s vision for a truly powerful all-in-one device. It is no coincidence that the significant superiority not only over Android tablets, but also over Chromebooks and Windows laptops is emphasized. Apple claims the iPad Air can even edit 4K video and work with Photoshop. An attempt to move the tablet into a “different league”, including through a new processor, USB-C port and design refresh, clearly succeeded.

In 2020, for the first time, Apple’s traditional September event did not release new iPhones. The presentation was dedicated to the new iPad and Apple Watch models. One of the new Apple tablets turned out to be the 8th generation iPad. How much has the budget Apple tablet improved over the year?

Features of the 2020 iPad 8

Features are what drives us consumers to opt for this product. Let’s say right away that the new model can hardly be called revolutionary. The main positive changes in it relate to the speed and delivery set. It is obvious that advanced solutions (4 speakers, improved cameras, Type-C connector) have been implemented in older models. The 2020 iPad remains a workhorse — simple, efficient, and relatively inexpensive.

The device retains its 10.2-inch diagonal, which is the new standard for Apple’s budget tablets. The tablet received the same design as its predecessor, the frame, and the overall linear dimensions also remained the same. The thickness is the same 7.5 mm. But the weight of the device has slightly decreased – from 2 to 7 grams, depending on the presence of the LTE module. Can you tell the 2020 model from the 2019 model by eye? Hardly.

The tablet retained the Lightning connector, traditional for most Apple devices, remained here on the left side and Smart Connector for connecting a full-size keyboard. This is quite expected, because the company will actively support the taken course towards the extended functionality of tablets. The 3.5mm headphone jack remains on the top edge.

At the bottom of the case is the Home button with a built-in biometric Touch ID sensor. He, as before, is responsible for secure authentication. A pair of stereo speakers is located on the very bottom edge.

Do you want to be in trend and ride on environmentally friendly transport? Can’t live without a two-wheeled friend and are waiting for the opening of the season? Need a way with the breeze to move around the city and country roads, without thinking about the problems?

We live in Russia. There are no electric vehicles here, just like bikes in winter. But the tricycle electric Citycoco CYQ011 can change everything.

Who are Citycoco

As you know, China today is almost a complete monopolist in the field of urban electric transport. Xiaomi, Ninebot, KUGOO … The list goes on and on.

One countless “Russian” crafts based on the contracted name of the products is worth it. So about Citycoco – this is not a no-name, but a brand whose products can be found in both Russian and European stores.

There are quality certificates, models meet the requirements of the road legislation of Russia and the CIS. So you have to prepare the rights of category “M”.

But it’s worth it. Especially if you buy on Ali: the seller willingly modifies the basic versions to the desired level. Anything and whatever.

What is it made of?

One of these modifications and became Citycoco CYQ011, which has become a modification of the rather popular “electrochopper” of the company, which we talked about recently.

Unlike the basic version, the “eleventh” received an open frame structure, closed with carbon fiber panels.

The frame forms a kind of cabin that resembles a buggy. A useful solution – the legs are always protected. And the carrying capacity is becoming serious: the analogues of 150 kilograms can not even be dragged constructively.

In addition, this approach made it possible to effectively protect the insides, to hide almost the entire filling in removable covers. Therefore, Q11 is not afraid of puddles, dirt and impassability.

Again, impressive power elements made it possible to abandon small-sized components in favor of the classics. Agree, it turned out very interesting in appearance.

Three wheels – the ideal of everything

As an engine, this Citycoco does not use a wheel motor, but a classic 1 kW or 1.5 kW electric motor. Drive to both rear wheels, with all the resulting bonuses and problems.

There are many advantages in this approach: it is easy to maintain (if necessary, you can put another without waiting from China), the center of gravity shifted under the driver improves ergonomics, and the rear discs are simply invaluable.

Yes, and native 8-inch wheels can always be exchanged for something more interesting. The rear ones are already automobile, you can save on rubber (for motorcycles and scooters the winter is godlessly expensive).

You have to pay for it with an overly stable trip (like in the Urals, you twist it – but it doesn’t turn), with a large mass and brutal appetite.

Well, although the model rides perfectly in the snow, the front desk can be easily buried.

Driving performance

However, using winter motorcycle rubber is the most sustainable electric bike on the market. One of.

The dynamics do not suffer: “sideways to blame” will not work, but you can drive at a speed of up to 60 km / h. It is even necessary if dry and the maximum configuration with a 1.5 kW motor is selected.

The load capacity of the bike reaches 150 kilograms (while the speed decreases to 50 km / h). If you choose the right rubber and not regret the speed – you can carry a trailer or a plow.

An important point: the battery is lead-acid, very heavy. Lives not for long, gives huge currents. But it is restored easily and naturally, it costs a penny and is not afraid of frost.

But when operating in Russia, it is worth asking to change it to LiPo, albeit at the cost of reduced dynamics. It will still be very cool, stable and fast.

How much does it cost and how to buy?

Three-wheeled Citycoco CYQ011 is offered on AliExpress with direct delivery to Russia, the cost of delivery is free in any region.

For a version with a kilowatt motor, you will have to pay 115 thousand rubles. A more advanced model with a power of 1500 watts will cost a little more, 124 thousand rubles.

Cashback at 2,000 rubles. enough for the basic body kit.

For such an assembly, a completely ridiculous amount. If you do not take into account that for the money you can buy a car on the go, “not requiring investment.”

But still … Electric motor!

I don’t know how it is with you, but my snow has finally fallen outside. But this is not a reason to abandon cool electric scooters, electric bikes and scooters.

Unless, of course, they have sufficient power and proper suspension. And some other features that this Elecric Citycoco SC11 + electric bike has, which can be bought on AliExpress with delivery.

Wild electric transport for the harshest Russian realities.

A real electric chopper

For Russian reality, conventional electromotive vehicles are suitable only in a short summer period, 3-7 months a year. Even in Sochi, it’s still a pleasure to drive a syaomi on an icy road.

Therefore, especially for Europe, some Chinese resellers offer unique options, among which Elecric Citycoco SC11 +. This frantic scooter resembles a cross between a classic chopper and the same classic scooter.

Thanks to this, the center of mass is as low as possible, which provides tremendous stability. It is complemented by a very wide design, designed for special wide-profile rubber (total wheel diameter – 8 inches).

In addition, the bike received a reinforced metal frame, all-metal casing (only contact surfaces were covered with rubber mats) and a very powerful chassis.

All-milled high-strength steel parts are a great undertaking for Russia. But this is only the beginning.

Power and quality

This 40 kg titanium requires a powerful motor to move. But the design made it possible to preserve the general principle of modern electric transport: a conventional motor-wheel was used as a mover.

Its power is already 1500 watts! A serious battery is hidden in the bandwagon with a current output of 60V and a capacity of either 20 or 40 A * hour. The latter is enough for 100 kilometers, the base is designed only for 50.

But this is on a regular, clean track. Ice, cold and snow reduce the supply by exactly half (soon we will talk in detail about electric transport in Russia, and this too).

Instead of newfangled electronic controls, the scooter is equipped with a classic ignition. Moreover – the lion’s share of its nodes were removed from large-scale gasoline scooters, so the device is much more reliable than the popular Xiaomi or Ninebot scooters.

It will travel everywhere. Even in Russia

All this is done for maximum cross-country ability and ensuring maximum reliability of the structure. See for yourself: the chassis is clearly copied from a motorcycle. Well, serial shock absorbers are very, very good. If you ride this winter, you will appreciate the motorcycle hydraulic suspension very quickly.

The combination of metal construction, a powerful motor and the right battery allows the scooter to move both on an icy road (special rubber is required, available on request), and on a snowy coast.

The maximum thickness of “soft snow” to overcome is about 10-12 centimeters. Then you have to help with your feet. But even so, the device is more similar in driving style to an ATV.

Do you need rights?

Yes. To drive this device, you need a driver’s license confirming the right to drive vehicles of category “M” (mopeds).

However, getting it is not difficult. If necessary, we will tell you in detail how to make it easier.

All necessary documents for the legalization of transport are provided by the seller. The electric bike is certified in Europe and Russia.

Where to buy and how much?

But with the purchase of Elecric Citycoco SC11 +, everything is very interesting: AliExpress offers direct delivery from Europe. But it is not indicated on the site.

The fact is that the seller independently carries out the necessary customs clearance, which varies depending on the country in which the buyer is located.

Therefore, only the delivery time is guaranteed – it will reach Russia in 6 days. Up to 2 weeks will require internal transportation with the help of a transport company.

Thus, the final price of Elecric Citycoco SC11 + will be 94.5 thousand rubles in the lower configuration and 106 thousand rubles for the version with a maximum battery.

Cashback will be very tangible: 6 000 rubles. enough for an extra kit. However, everything vital is already in the stock kit.

Pleasure is not cheap. But the opportunity to ride a bike in winter is worth it. Especially considering night charging in just 5-7 hours right from the outlet.
