The ProBack Cover Charges Your iPad and Apple Pencil Simultaneously | Digital Trends (2024)

The ProBack Cover Charges Your iPad and Apple Pencil Simultaneously | Digital Trends (1)
The Apple Pencil may be a great piece of hardware when it is in use, but when you have to charge it? That is a whole different story. While the Pencil is meant to be used in conjunction with the iPad, there is not a solution to charge both of them at once — at least not in a particularly effective manner. But the ProBack Cover wants to change that. Heralded as the first and only iPad Pro case that will allow you to charge both your Apple Pencil and iPad Pro at the same time, the ProBack Cover protects your tablet from scratches while storing and charging the Apple Pencil safely and securely from the side.

With just over three weeks left in its Kickstarter campaign, the ProBack Cover has garnered interest from around 200 backers who have pledged nearly $11,000 to bring the product to market. The idea for the Cover originated when iPad enthusiast Michael Pang discovered that there was no portable and convenient solution to both protect his iPad Pro and charge the Apple Pencil he often used to write on the tablet. So he partnered with Studio Tika Innovation, and thus, the ProBack Cover was born.

The iPad case promises seamless charging, juicing both the Pencil and the Pro at the same time. When you’re using the Apple Pencil, keep its cap safe and sound with the Cover’s magnetic holder. The Cover is also compatible with smart keyboardsand boasts speakers that will amplify your iPad’s sound.

Apple’s new iPad Pro may not be as expensive as we feared

The ProBack Cover Charges Your iPad and Apple Pencil Simultaneously | Digital Trends (2)

Apple didn’t release a new iPad last year, which means 2024 should be a banner year for the popular tablets. And now there's been word that the upcoming iPad Pro lineup, likely to include OLED for the first time, might not cost as much as we once feared.

According to a new report from DigiTimes, the upcoming iPad Pro models won’t see a dramatic price hike, as was suggested in December. Previously, it was reported that the 2024 11-inch iPad Pro would cost at least $1,500, while the next 12.9-inch model (which will have a larger 13-inch display) would start at $1,800. The current models start at $799 and $1,099, respectively.

It seems new iPads, rocking some notable tweaks, are right around the corner. In the latest edition of his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says an updated lineup of iPad Pro models will likely arrive towards the end of March.
Now, these new flagship slates could turn out to be special for multiple reasons. The new iPad Pro tablets could get a refined design language and, of course, a shift to the latest-generation M3 processor that is already providing its firepower to a handful of Mac machines.

The future of iPhone gaming is in trouble

It will run console games, they said. The experience will be amazing, they said. Well, the real experience lands somewhere between half-decent and terribly underwhelming. I am talking about playing PC and console-grade games natively on the iPhone. Less so on the iPad, but more on that later.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have put a healthy number of hours into playing Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 on the iPad Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, respectively. The former device provided a palatable experience, but the latter left me wondering why Apple is even attempting it in the first place.
