Microsoft Pro 2018 is in the pipeline and here is what you should know

Members of the press were invited by Microsoft Corp. To attend an event which will take place on the 2nd of October and new Surface products with new cloud services might be released during the meeting.

The Surface Pro and how it will be updated

As many of us expect, Microsoft might reveal a version of the Surface Pro which will be more updated. Last year in May the last model got released even though a report was sure that the sixth generation of Surface Pro would not reach light until the middle of next year.

Forbes’ Ewan Spence believes that the new Surface Pro will be equipped with the latest chipset, have improved 4G and wireless technology, fast memory, but will be an “iterative update with very few bells and whistles to jazz up the release.”

More releases???

Maybe if Microsoft wants to see us happy it will also offer an updated Surface Laptop during the event which went on sale a month later after being released in May 2017.

However, no radical changes should be expected as Surface Laptop is quite a new product in the lineup of Microsoft/ According to a report, Surface Laptop might be improved with an Intel 8th-generation processor and get new USB-C ports. The Surface Laptop’s previous version was equipped with a Mini DisplayPort, a UDB 3.0 port and Microsoft’s proprietary Surface Connect power and docking port.

October 2 will be the day of releases as new Surface-branded headphones are expected to be shown. They are considered the company’s “Modern Life Services.” Other releases include new cloud services and maybe a new version of Windows 10.

Updated versions of Surface Book and Surface Studio might happen too, but we are not so sure.

Google Inbox To Be Shut Down In March 2019

Google is expected to announce the discontinuance of its Inbox app starting with March 2019. That might seem like an expected decision by some of the app’s users, but it will soon be official. The Google Inbox, which launched in October 2014, was meant to revolutionize users mailbox by offering more modern features but served its purposes and now there is no more interest in it from Google.

Google Inbox was not meant to replace Gmail

The app’s primary objective was to facilitate the organization and the daily use of emails. As soon as it was launched, Google Inbox automatically labeled emails in different categories such as news, finance, travel, purchases, social networks, and so on. It was also possible to postpone an email until later, to deal with it at a more appropriate time.

Other notable features of Google Inbox include quick replies and easy access to email content, whether it is media or essential information such as a link to track a delivery or a restaurant’s phone number.

Google immediately stated that its Inbox app’s objective was not to replace Gmail app, even though Google raised some concerns when its Google Inbox was launched, leaving many users speculating about Google’s strategy in this regard.

Google Inbox to be discontinued in March 2019

In reality, Google Inbox has served as a test environment for the Google developers, who were able to measure the attractiveness of the new features without disrupting the regular use and users experience of its Gmail app.

Google Gmail app now boasts the best features of Inbox, so there is no more interest in Google Inbox app.

According to a recent Fast Company report, Google would soon announce the discontinuance of its Google Inbox starting with March 2019. A decision that comes as a logical next step since Google launched the new, modern Gmail interface.

Why Does My iPhone Keeps Restarting? How To Fix It?

“Why does my iPhone keeps restarting and how to fix it?” is a more common question on forums and blogs than you can imagine, even though Apple is struggling to come out with more and more stable and flawless operating systems for their iPhone and iPad devices.

A boot loop on the iPhone is one of the most frustrating issues that can occur to you, and, unfortunately, it is a common issue the users of Apple devices are confronting with. However, there are some solutions to this problem, and some of them are quite straightforward, so you don’t have to be tech-savvy to apply them.

Why does my iPhone keeps restarting?

There could be a whole bunch of reasons for why your iPhone got stuck in a boot loop. However, there some factors which are quite common, and among them, there are a faulty update, malware, hardware issues, unstable driver, and many more.

But, the most common issues that force your iPhone to enter in a boot loop are a bad update, an unstable driver, and a potential malware attack. As for the other one, the hardware issues, the situation it’s much more complicated and you might need to go to an Apple Store to get that done (if you’re lucky, a Power Button replacement might do the trick).

How to fix an iPhone that’s stuck in a boot loop

There are three solutions you can try to make your iPhone successfully boot again. Namely, these are factory reset, force restart, connect to iTunes.

Factory reset

If you’re asking yourself “why does my iPhone keeps restarting,” you should know that a simple factory reset of your device might work as the issue could be caused by a conflict between apps and iOS, some incomplete applications, or a faulty update installation.

While this method won’t roll back your device to a previous iOS version, in the case of a bad update, there might occur a conflict between the new version and some apps you have installed before the upgrade procedure.

Force restart

Force restart might also fix an iPhone boot loop. On iPhone handset older than iPhone 7 you must press and hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds to force-restart your phone. For iPhone 7 and newer, you have to press the Power and Volume Down button.

Force restart would fix small errors in the booting process of your iPhone.

Connect to iTunes

If your iPhone keeps restarting, one solution would be to connect it to iTunes. Once your handset is connected, the Apple iTunes will find the problem with your phone and would prompt you to restore or update it.

By following the steps as instructed by iTunes, your Apple handset will most probably recover, and you’ll be enjoying your iPhone or iPad again.

On the other hand, if none of the above methods works for you, an iOS repair toolkit might solve your iPhone issues so you’ll never have to ask again “Why does my iPhone keeps restarting?”
