New iPad Pro

Along with the iPhone SE being revealed at Apples Monday event, another thing they released was a new iPad Pro. This iPad Pro is a much smaller iPad with a 9.7 inch display. The iPad will be on the shelves for people to buy on March 31st. 
The iPad Pro comes with Apples latest A9X processor chip, a 2048 by 1536 display and a 12 megapixel camera. It also comes in four different colors, Silver, Gold, Space Grey, and Rose Gold, and with three storage options; 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB! Another big plus about this iPad is that the speakers are very high quality and play music very well.   A big difference between this one and the normal iPad Pro is that the iPad Pro has a much better battery and better battery life, which can help out when you're doing work or drawing a picture or whatever you use it for.  This new iPad is very good for people who did not like the gianormous size of the normal iPad Pro. 

iPhone SE features

So, Apple had a big event this Monday where they released lots of new things, such as iOS 9.3, the iPhone SE, and a new iPad. It was a big day for Apple and Apple consumers. In this blog, I will be more focused on the iPhone SE. This new iPhone is a combination of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. It is a smaller version of the iPhone 6 for people who don't like to hold big phones.  It has a longer battery life than both the 5 and 6, which could be very useful. A downside of it is that the camera is not very well, which is bad for photographers and people who like to take pictures. It also comes at the low price of $400, which is pretty affordable to other iPhones. All in all, the iPhone SE is a great overall phone and a great pickup for those who like smaller phones.

Snapchat Rumors

For t hose of you who do not know what Snapchat is, it is another form of social media where you post different pictures and videos, or snaps, on your account for people to see. Snapchat is a $16 billion company, with many major celebrities using the app to share what they do throughout their day. The more that Snapchat grows the more that they want to add new features and create new things for their users. Snap labs, which is Snapchats research team, is supposedly working on a new product, which is rumored to be some type or smart glasses or a wearable device to record what you're doing.
This may just be a rumor, but there are many leaks that show that Snap Labs is working on new ways to make their company more profitable.  They are hiring new 3D visual engineers and app developers, which shows that they are looking to either  improve their app or come out with a new product to sell to their users. Snapchat hasn't really come out with anything other than other new cool features on their app.  Another rumor about Snapchat is that they are coming out with a live streaming app like Periscope or Twitch or something similar.    Whether any of these rumors are true or not will not be known for quite a while, but if they are true then Snapchat is truly making some great progress!
