Tiktok is once again available In the Apple App Store and Google’s Play Store in the United States. The application disappeared from Apple and Google stores on January 19, 2025, while a national ban came into force. Briefly.

What will finally happen to Tiktok remains uncertain. President Trump wants to conclude an “agreement” which will allow the company to remain operational in the United States, including arrangements that would give the US government participation in the company.

Do you know who is probably furious? All other social media societies.

In a tweet on Thursday, CEO Tim Cook told Apple lovers to “prepare to meet the most recent family member. “What this product is a slight mystery, although we would not have to wait too long to discover it. The revelation will take place on Wednesday, February 19.

While we focused on a new generation iPhone SE, Cook’s Tweet also presented an animated image of a shimmering Apple logo on what seems to be the outline of an aerat. There have been rumors for some time since Apple would present a second generation tracker this year.

Also: Airtags changed my life. Or at least prevented me from tightening several times in recent years. It will be intriguing to see what a tracker can offer others. Please don’t do it.

Honda and Nissan ended their merger plans

No Honsan. No Ninda.

The history of technical love of 2025 is over. Honda and Nissan ended the fusion plans. If they had experienced it and also brought Mitsubishi to Nissan, the new entity would have had a net value of around 50 billion dollars.

Financial time In early February, Honda presented a new corporate structure that would make Nissan its subsidiary as a “Take it or leave” offer. Nissan decided to leave him.

Ask for engadget: where is the best place to buy a cheap iPad?

Ask everything.

Thank you to all the first questions (hit me on Askmat (AT) Engadget.com), including a timely question against the new Apple equipment. From Matt Ali: What is the cheapest way to get an iPad? And which one should I get in early 2025?

Instead of doing my own research or asking for unleashed AI chatbots, I operated our iPad (and Critical) expert, Nathan IngrahamFor an answer:

“Apple equipment is known to be expensive, but the company has a store full of high quality renovated products that can save you serious money. I bought many devices over there over the years and I have never had a problem-everything is in a non-new state and has the same guarantee as a brand new product. »»

At the time of writing, there are some good options in Apple renovated store If you want an iPad almost as capable as the most recent models but want to save money. If you want the largest possible screen, you can take a sixth generation iPad Pro, 12.9 inches With an M2 and 256 GB chip for $ 979. Since the latest 13 -inch iPad Pro starts at $ 1299, this deserves consideration – especially if you are an artist who wants a large canvas.

If you don’t need this big screen, consider the fifth generation iPad air. For $ 529, you will get an 11 -inch screen, a M1 chip and 256 GB of storage. This represents $ 170 less than the current M2 iPad Air with the same amount of storage. Apple’s standard iPad is also renovated, but you can often find a whole new version for sale on Amazon. Between this and the rumors of a new basic iPad to come this spring, I would avoid it, for the moment.

If you want to upgrade storage or get a model with cellular connectivity, this should also be feasible for additional liquidity. For me, 256 GB or 512 GB are the ideal point for storage – given the omnipresence of the cloud, having a ton of local storage does not feel particularly necessary.

Likewise, cell connectivity is probably not worth additional money, unless you plan to travel with your iPad. Most of the time, you can easily attach an iPad to your phone if you need to log in quickly online. But, these renovation options are available if you want them. »»
