On Wednesday, Sony introduced a new game console to its Playstation lineup - The Playstation 4 Pro.

The game console will be able to play on ultra-high 4K and HDR television screens, making some new 4K games pop.

"It's for the hardcore gamer -- or the one who's invested in a high-definition [display],"
PS4 Pro creator Mark Cerny told attendees during a press event in New York City.

The console will feature a 1TB hard drive, advanced graphics and a faster processor, but more detailed specs were not unveiled. The PS4 console will also pair with the PlayStation virtual reality headset set to arrive in October.

The regular PS4 is also getting an upgrade. The new design will be lighter, slimmer and more powerful. It will cost $299.00.

Sony also announced existing PS4 consoles will get HDR compatibility, starting next week, via a firmware update.

The console will cost $399.00 and be available sometime in November.

It’s Official: Apple Kills the Headphone Jack

“It’s official: there won’t be a headphone jack in the iPhone 7,” Timothy B. Lee writes for Vox. “The downsides are obvious: Almost everyone has headphones, speakers, and other gadgets based on the ubiquitous 3.5 mm headphone jack. Eliminating this connection could render these devices unusable, or at least force everyone to carry around an extra adapter. But Apple doesn’t care. Ditching the headphone jack is the next step in Apple’s relentless quest to make the iPhone — and all of its products — thinner, simpler, and more reliable.”

“Apple also believes that the conventional headphone jack has become a bottleneck to improvements in audio quality and headphone design,” Lee writes. “The shift to the Lightning connector will shift audio circuitry from the iPhone into the headphones themselves, creating the opportunity for third parties to experiment with new features and designs. And history may be on Apple’s side here. Customers invariably react badly to big changes in beloved products. But after a few months of grumbling, they usually accept the change and quickly forget about it.”
