Other news this week included confirmation from Apple that iPadOS 16 has been delayed a bit and will not launch alongside iOS 16 next month, an expansion of Apple's Self Repair Program to the Mac, and fresh rumors about the iPhone 14 lineup and upcoming MacBook Pro models, so read on for details on these stories and more!Īpple Announces September 7 Event With 'Far Out' TaglineĪpple this week announced that it will be holding an in-person event on Wednesday, September 7 at Steve Jobs Theater. The uncharacteristically early official announcement two weeks ahead of time may be due to this marking the return of standalone in-person media events for the first time in almost three years. Mark your calendars! Apple has officially announced that it will be holding a media event on Wednesday, September 7, where we're expecting to see the iPhone 14 and additional announcements. Pricing remains to be seen, but titanium Apple Watch models currently start at $799 in the United States, so it would be reasonable to expect a starting price of around $799 to $999.
Other features expected for the Apple Watch Pro include a titanium casing, longer battery life, an expanded Low Power Mode, an S8 chip, and more.Īpple is expected to announce the Apple Watch Pro alongside two standard Apple Watch Series 8 models and the iPhone 14 at its September 7 media event.
While a 47mm case size is new information, the flat display has been rumored previously.
The flat design could improve the durability of the Apple Watch Pro, which Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported will be a "rugged" model designed for high-impact activities like hiking and extreme sports. The report, citing information received from "reliable sources," also claims the Apple Watch Pro will feature a completely flat display, whereas existing Apple Watch models have slightly curved edges around the display. By comparison, the Apple Watch Series 7 is available in 41mm and 45mm case sizes.Ī larger 47mm case size would result in the Apple Watch Pro having a larger display, which could measure in at 1.99 inches diagonally. So it should be nice to try many types of projects quickly, but it does not explain the function of each module and the theory behind it.Įlecrow sells the Raspberry Pi Pico Advanced Kit for $37.99 without a Raspberry Pi Pico for which you’d need to add $5 to the total ($42.The so-called "Apple Watch Pro" will feature a larger 47mm case size, according to a report today from Japanese website Mac Otakara.
The good news is that the tutorials are available publicly, but the less good one is that it is not quite as detailed as the lessons that run on the CrowPi hardware, since it just shows the components required, how to connect the modules, and the MicroPython code with limited explanations. You’ll get to learn or teach 32 Raspberry Pi Pico projects written in MicroPython, which include an electronic clock, a plant “doctor”, a fire alarm, a traffic light, and more besides the more advanced smart car projects.
Various standoffs, screws, and nuts, plus screwdriver.Laser transmitter, passive buzzer, mini magnetic spring module.Smart car kit with chassis, three wheels, battery holder, and fixtures.DC motor with male Dupont Wire + fan blade x 1.10x 5mm LEDs in green, red, blue, yellow, and white colors.Optional Raspberry Pi Pico board with Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Cortex-M0+ microcontroller.However, it does so in a different way, as instead of using visual programming and Python, the Raspberry Pi Pico Advanced Kit’s lessons rely on MicroPython, and the projects are different with for example parts to build an obstacle avoidance, line tracking, or remote controlled car. We’ve just reviewed the Raspberry Pi 4-powered CrowPi L laptop and Crowtail Starter kit used to teach programming and electronics, but Elecrow has now launched the “Raspberry Pi Pico Advanced Kit” with 32 electronics modules, a smart kit car, and 32 tutorials that should be a more affordable way of teaching electronics and programming.
