‘Furiosa’ Takes the Mad Max Saga to Deranged New Heights

Despite its reputation as a wild, unhinged, visually overwhelming punk-rock opera, George Miller’s action masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road is surprisingly simple. Stripped down to its spare parts, it’s effectively one long chase scene — a “western on wheels," as Miller described it at the time. Its sparse narrative allowed for a rich world to speak for itself, which is part of why it works so well even in black-and-white or silent versions: it’s visual storytelling at its finest.

That’s what makes it all the more mind-boggling, and stupendous that George Miller has managed to top himself once again with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Furiosa trades in the franchise’s western vistas and lone-wolf narrative for a heavy-metal riff on Homer’s Odyssey, delivering a sprawling, immersive saga that manages to outdo its predecessor for the most bonkers action that’s ever been injected into your eyeballs.

The New iPad Pros Are Hardware Beasts, But Apple Neglected One Key Feature

The new iPad Pros are impressive tablets — the thinnest product Apple’s made —and at the moment, also the most powerful thanks to the new M4 chip. But the refreshed iPad Pros still have a hardware problem, and it’s one that has existed since the original.

Thick or thin, iPads have consistently had the same battery life (10 hours) and Apple has not strayed from that benchmark in 14 years. The same is true of this year’s iPad Airs and Pros. Despite new chips and screens (and a new 13-inch iPad Air), they’re still expected to last the same amount of time as a tablet that’s multiple generations old. To add insult to injury, the iPad Pros got thinner this year, as if letting a larger battery take up more space wasn’t even a possibility.

There’s nothing wrong with making a sleek gadget, but at a certain point “professional” has to mean more than just fast internals and bright screens. Improving battery life on the iPad would have a much bigger impact on how people use their tablet, and just like on the iPhone, I think people would clamor for a longer-lasting iPad.
