Apple is [considering]( using an E Ink display on the outside of its foldable according to Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Why does it matter? The idea, says Kuo, is that it would offer a massive power-saving boost compared to basically any other sort of outer display. What's my take? I'm not so sure about this rumour. Forget the foldable part for a moment, I suspect Apple will have a foldable display at point in the future. The bit that doesn't feel right is the idea that Apple would add a screen to a device that's sub-par to every screen currently on its devices. I suspect rather than degrading the offering, Apple will just insist you use one of the plethora of charging options to get you though the day. Sky bets big on original content Pocket-lint What's happened? Sky has detailed its 2022 roster of TV shows. Why does it matter? The company is keen to cement its place in the TV landscape as not only a technology player with [Sky Glass]( and Sky Q, but also a content creator with shows like Gangs of London and Brassic. What's my take? In a glitzy London showcase, stars were wheeled out on stage at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane one after another to tease us with new shows from now to Christmas to suit all tastes. Sky is investing hundreds of millions of pounds to ensure Sky customers get plenty of home-grown talent rather than just rely on American TV shows to bring in the ratings. And there are some big hitters coming soon: Sir Kenneth Branagh, Gemma Arterton, Suranne Jones, and Rose Leslie are just some of the names that are set to grace our screens in the coming days and months in Sky Original shows. With streaming services all vying for our attention and our subscription money, Sky wants to ensure it's not just relying on others to deliver customers, but make sure it is in the driving seat.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G sits at the top of the range, very closely matched by the [Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G](. Note the 5G part here, because there are also some 4G models in the family that also come with different hardware. Our quick verdict The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G doesn't differ hugely from the slightly cheaper Note 11 Pro 5G in the overall performance or the experience. It does have really fast charging, though, which might swing it for you. Otherwise, there's little to pick between the two - it's just a slightly better performer.
