Weve been hearing rumors about the foldables Apple may or may not be making for years, from clamshell iPhone prototypes to plans for a foldable iPad, but the latest suggests we may also be in for something much bigger. According to Mark Gurman in the Power On newsletter this weekend, Apple is developing a foldable device with a display that opens up to be nearly 20 inches. The plan is for something akin to a giant iPad that unfolds into the size of two iPad Pros side-by-side, with elements of both iPad and Mac functionality, according to Gurman. The company is reportedly targeting a 2028 release. Not only will the device be enormous, but Apple is also working to make it creaseless when opened, Gurman reports, which other companies have failed to do in their own foldables. Apples prototypes have a nearly invisible crease, he writes, but its not completely gone. The report comes about a week after a leak that described a similar device with an 18.8-inch display thats allegedly due to be released between 2028 and 2030. Gurman predicts the foldable will run on iPadOS or a variant of it..

We may see the next HDMI standard, HDMI 2.2, in only a matter of weeks. According to an email from the HDMI Forum sent around to press including Engadget this weekend, a new HDMI specification will be announced on Monday, January 6 in Las Vegas ahead of the official start to CES 2025. The details at this point are pretty scant all were told is that the new spec enables a wide range of higher resolutions and refresh rates and will be supported with a new HDMI Cable. Its been seven years since the introduction of HDMI 2.1. It was most recently updated to version 2.1b in 2023, to support bandwidths of up to 48Gbps and resolutions up to 10K. The new specification with the next gen HDMI technology will bring higher bandwidth, according to the email. Thats about all we know now, but well have a team on the ground at CES keeping you up to speed on this and all the other announcements as they come.

According to a report from Reuters, president-elect Donald Trumps transition team is trying to kill a rule set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that requires automakers to report crashes if advanced driver assistance technology or automated driving systems were in use within 30 seconds of the crash. The NHTSA issued the Standing General Order in 2021, stating that its goal is to gather data that could help it identify potential safety issues. The data has been used in investigations into crashes involving six companies so far, including Tesla and GMs Cruise (which is shutting down its robotaxi program as of this week). Tesla despises the reporting requirement and believes the data could be misleading to consumers, Reuters reports, citing sources close to Tesla executives. In a document seen by Reuters, the transition team in charge of making a 100-day strategy for automotive policy reportedly recommended that the incoming administration repeal the requirement, saying it calls for excessive data collection. Its unknown whether Elon Musk who donated over $250 million to help Trump get elected and was chosen to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency alongside Vivek Ramaswamy had any hand in the recommendation. Tesla has reported over 1,500 crashes, and accounted for 40 out of 45 fatal crashes reported to the NHTSA, Reuters reports. But, according to University of South Carolina law professor Bryant Walker Smith, who spoke to Reuters, Tesla has more cars on the road with advanced driver assistance technology and collects more real-time crash data than other companies, which could make for a disproportionate number of incidents reported.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/trumps-team-reportedly-wants-to-end-nhtsa-reporting-requirement-for-car-crashes-involving-automated-systems-213720835.html?src=rss
