Hello folks. A small bit of RPS Game Club news today. Since it's starting to get toward end of the year season, Game Club will be taking a short break for the next two months. That means we won't be running it this month (November), or next month (December). We will, however, be returning with a fresh set of monthly game selections in 2024, so you can look forward to more group play-a-longs and liveblog chats early next year.

The insanely popular 2018 iPad Pro with 512GB of storage and 4G cellular is currently available for a low price of just $469.94.

Apple was initially expected to launch upgraded versions of the iPad mini, iPad Air, and the entry-level iPad this year. However, the company saw fit to announce new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models powered by the company's new M3 series of chips. Now, a new report by a prominent analyst claims that Apple is planning to update its entire iPad lineup next year, which includes the iPad Air 6, iPad mini 7, and iPad 11, as the OLED iPad Pro models.

It’s been a pretty successful year for Capcom thus far. The company released its second-quarter and first-half fiscal year 2023 financials, with performance in line with current forecasts. It has a big release in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, out in January 2024. However, what about the unannounced “major title” it discussed earlier this year that would sell millions?

Apple enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next iteration of the Apple Watch may need to exercise patience, as there are concerns that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may not be launched in 2024. Renowned analyst Ming Chi-Kuo suggests that the tech giant has yet to commence development, citing the necessity for additional time to craft health management features and address production challenges related to Micro LED technology. If the project does not kick off by December, it's increasingly likely that we'll have to wait longer for the next-generation the watch to be launched.

Today, Apple has seen fit to release iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1 for all compatible iPhone and iPad devices. The latest update brings a plethora of new additions to the table, including AirDrop over the internet, Music Favorite option, and much more. Furthermore, the update also brings a plethora of bug fixes and performance enhancements to the table.

A short while after Apple officially announced its October 30 ‘Crazy Fast’ event, an analyst backtracks on his original prediction concerning the company’s launch of the M3 and the MacBook Pro lineup that will feature this chipset. Apparently, he believes that the lack of upgrades provided by the M2 will force Apple to proceed with a launch this year even though the upcoming portable Macs might be produced in fewer numbers.

Apple is preparing its next big update to fix major issues in iOS 17. Last week, the company seeded release candidate builds of its upcoming iOS 17.1 update to developers for final testing. This gives us a hint that an update will be released shortly. Apart from various bugs plaguing the operating system, iOS 17.1 will include major features Apple announced at its WWDC 2023 event in June. We now have a tentative release date of iOS 17.1, which users should be excited about.

The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Fallout television show announced today that the series will premiere on April 12 on Prime Video.

Apple is expected to launch new iPad Pro models with an OLED display next year, potentially after Spring. The devices were originally rumored to launch this year with M3 chips, but recent reports suggest that Apple has pushed the launch of the chip to next year. One of the major additions coming with the forthcoming iPad Pro models is the new OLED display on both display sizes of the tablet. A new report claims that Apple will launch the OLED iPad Pro next year and then trickle the display technology down to the iPad Air and iPad mini lineup.

It was initially reported that Apple plans to launch new iPad and MacBook models later this year. Later on, rumors coined that the forthcoming M3 chips have been delayed until next year. Various reports highlighted that the company would not release the M3-powered iPad Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models this year. However, the iPad mini 7, iPad Air, and iPad 11 were reported to launch this year with upgraded internals. It is now anticipated that Apple does not have plans to release any iPad this year as the launch has been pushed to Spring of 2024.
