Apple’s latest iPad Pro lineup and the new iPad 10 are now on sale in the United States and 27 other key markets. The company announced the new iPads via press releases last week. The launch of the new iPads comes hot on the heels of Monday’s iPadOS 16.1 release.

Apple apparently plans to “grande size” the iPad. A version with a 16-inch display is reportedly being developed.

Place the Lion 50W Foldable Solar Panel in the sun and it can power most devices with a USB-A or USB-C port. It’s portable enough to take on a multi-day hike, or to not take up much room in a closet for power outages. I put the solar charger to the test and I’m quite pleased with how easy it is to use and how well it performs.
