Dolphins are among the most intelligent mammals on the planet. And, just like many humans, it appears not all dolphins enjoy having their photo taken — especially with an iPad.
Earlier this week, a woman visiting SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, got quite the surprise while she was trying to take a photo of a dolphin.
As seen in footage captured by Kuadiel Gomez, the woman was standing over the dolphin exhibit taking photos of the majestic creatures with her iPad when the aquatic mammal snatched it out of her hands and dragged the iPad, case and all, into the water.
The woman frantically attempted to get the iPad back and eventually succeeded. But not before it had been completely submerged in the briny solution.
It’s unknown at this time who the woman is, or whether her iPad survived. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from past experiences, though, it’s that salt water and electronics do not work well together, even after thorough drying.
We’re also left in the dark as to why the dolphin grabbed the iPad. A handful of YouTube commenters have questioned whether or not the pink color of the iPad case was mistaken for a fresh piece of fish by the dolphin. But, as pointed out by DigitalRev, dolphins are colorblind, so the color of the case isn’t a likely culprit.
For all we know, the dolphin might’ve been looking to catch the level 1200 Gyarados at the bottom of his pool. Until we can get an interview with the clever cetacean, all we have are guesses.
If there’s one thing you can take away from this, it’s the following: Don’t get too close to animal exhibits with your prized electronic device — especially if it involves water. Not only could you harm the animals if something were to go wrong, but as this woman learned, your gadget could very well become a piece of junk.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
