Tech Trends 2024

IFA is coming this September. The large consumer electronics and technology event celebrates its Centennial in 2024 in Berlin. 

This year there will be many elephants in the room  

Artificial Intelligence continues to be a big question mark.  The fear and misunderstanding of the new technology continue to baffle industry and individuals. 

Recently, tech giant Google lost a big anti-trust case in the United States.  Will the Mountain View company have to sell Chrome browser or Android operation system? 

IFA Berlin

Tech and consumer brands are getting squeezed by costs resulting in many industry layoffs.

As consumers face higher prices, many have resisted upgrades, delaying expensive purchases.

Geopolitics continue to play a larger role in technology development and innovation.  With China producing more sophisticated chips, other countries could break away from Western centric devices, platforms and operating systems.

IFA 2024 starts September 4th.

Apple’s iPad Souped Up Surprise

Can Apple get its groove back? The tech giant has set the trends over the past years.  The Cupertino California based brand gave the world iPhones, iPods, Air Pods, and iPads, but lately the $2 trillion valued giant seems to have lost its glow.  At one time a new product announcement gained the equivalency of a royal proclamation.  Gone are the lines of fans waiting outside stores for their latest cultural changing gadgets. Now, the celebration is muted.  

“Let Loose” was Apple’s reveal of new iPads.  After two years the lineup got a few updates with OLED screens and M4 new chip suitable for AI processing.  The most striking feature, the iPad Pro is the thinnest device by the company at 5.3 mm thin for the 11-inch model.

11 and 13 inch models

The other surprise, the 10th generation iPad starts at $349, $100 cheaper than previous models.  Even Apple understands consumers are feeling the inflation squeeze.
