Charli XCX wedding reception 'featured only 20 guests'
Charli XCX's wedding reception is said to have featured only 20 guests and $A16 martinis. The 32-year-old singer, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, got hitched to The 1975 drummer George Daniel, 34, in a private ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, east London, on the weekend. After tying the knot, the couple reportedly headed to an Italian restaurant and hosted a party at a local bar. A source told The Sun the couple invited about 20 guests for what was described as a "very cool" and intimate day - a contrast to the larger celebration they are planning in Sicily later in 2025. After exchanging vows in Hackney, Charli and Daniel walked to the nearby Italian restaurant Dalla for a private dinner. "Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat. Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla," an insider told The Sun. "The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family-style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. "People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside. "Charli and George then went to a nearby hotel to get changed before they went to Ellie's for a party." The reception continued at Ellie's, a bar in Dalston that opened in May and is becoming known as one of the capital's trendiest spots. Ellie's is known for its STG8 ($A16.50) martinis. Charli reportedly changed out of her STG3300 ($A6800) Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora mini dress into a second white outfit in case of any drink spills. "To get in you just had to walk up to the front and say 'Charli'," the source said. "Once inside, Charli and George had laid on a free bar and there were trays of cigarettes lying around for the smokers. "There was a 'no social media' policy so no one posted any of the pictures from the reception online. It went on until around 4am when everyone crashed out and went home." Earlier in July, it was reported Charli and Daniel had chosen Sicily as the location for their second, larger wedding later in 2025. "This was the formal wedding and the big event is happening in a few months. "Charli and George had the most perfect day in London," The Sun source said. "It was everything they wanted it to be - relaxed, informal and fun." Charli XCX's wedding reception is said to have featured only 20 guests and $A16 martinis.

iPad 12th Gen (2026) release date expectations, price estimates and upgrades
iPad (A16). | Image credit – PhoneArena Apple makes some of the best tablets you can buy, but let's be real – most of them aren't exactly cheap. Still, there has always been that one iPad model that hits the sweet spot for budget-conscious buyers and the upcoming 12th-gen iPad (2026) – or whatever Apple ends up calling it – looks like it will carry that torch next. It is expected to arrive sometime next year as the follow-up to the current 11th-gen iPad (2025), also known as the iPad (A16), which launched earlier this year. We are still pretty far out from the next-gen release, so there aren't many leaks yet and concrete details are slim. That said, it is not too early to start making some educated guesses – and if this is the iPad you are waiting for, this is definitely the space to watch. Apple is expected to release the iPad 12th gen in spring 2026. However, just remember, Apple has waited as long as three years between budget iPad releases before, so the launch timing isn't set in stone. And the last three regular iPads so far have launched at different times of the year, so the exact timing is still a bit of a mystery. But if Apple sticks to its recent release schedule, we could see the next one drop in March 2026. For a clearer idea of when it might launch, check out the table below. * - probable dates The next-gen iPad 12th is expected to launch with a price close to the current model, around $349. That said, things can always change before it hits shelves – like new tariffs – which could push the price up. For now, though, there is no hint of a price increase, so it should remain Apple's most affordable tablet option. * - anticipated price Much like the current iPad 11th gen, the next one should also have one single camera on the back. | Image credit – PhoneArena iPads – especially the regular models – aren't exactly known for their cameras. In fact, tablets usually aren't bought for photography, but having a decent front camera is handy for video calls and meetings. You can expect the selfie camera to be placed along the longer, landscape side of the tablet. This setup makes FaceTime and other video chats feel way more natural, just like on the previous generation. Right now, the base iPad still uses Touch ID built into the power button, so there's no Face ID support – and that probably won't change with the next generation either. Here's what to expect from the iPad 12th gen cameras: 12 MP main camera 12 MP selfie camera Apple finally stepped up its game with the current model and the next regular iPad should keep that momentum by offering three storage options – including a roomy 512 GB. The base model will likely start at 128 GB, which is a solid upgrade from the previous 64 GB that was starting to feel a bit tight for today's needs. iPad 12th gen expected storage capacity: Don't expect any major changes in the design. The new iPad will probably stick to the same look as the 11th and 10th-gen models before it. That means slightly thicker bezels around a 10.9" display – still a compact size that offers just the right balance between portability and screen space. You can also count on stereo speakers on both sides when holding the tablet in landscape mode, which makes for a better audio experience. As for colors, nothing's confirmed yet, but chances are we'll see some fun and vibrant options again. The body is expected to stay aluminum, keeping that clean and durable build. Up front, the next-gen base iPad will likely stick with the same 10.9-inch display introduced with the 10th-gen model. That means an IPS LCD Liquid Retina panel with a 2360 x 1640 resolution and 264ppi pixel density. Sure, it's starting to feel a bit dated, but maybe Apple will finally shake things up this time. Expect the usual 60Hz refresh rate and a modest 500 nits of SDR brightness – decent for indoor use but not ideal under bright sunlight. On the bright side, Apple's top-notch color calibration helps the display look great and it'll continue to support the Apple Pencil (both Gen 1 and the newer USB-C version). iPads have stuck to a pretty consistent battery life target over the years – around 10 to 12 hours – and that's not expected to change with the next model. The battery will likely be similar to the current one, around 7698 mAh. It's not massive, but it gets the job done. In real-world use, especially for browsing, it holds up surprisingly well and can comfortably hit that 12-hour mark. If you're mostly watching videos, expect closer to 6 hours and 20 minutes. Charging might still be capped at 20W wired, with no wireless option. That's not exactly speedy as a full charge takes about two hours, which feels a bit sluggish by today's standards. The iPad 12th gen is expected to ship with iPadOS 26 – or maybe something even newer, depending on when it drops. That means you'll get all the latest features, including the updated Stage Manager 2 for multitasking. This new version brings in a Mac-like menu bar that shows up when you connect a keyboard, making the iPad feel a lot more like a lightweight laptop. As always, you can count on Apple's long-term support, with around 6 years of software updates and 7 years of security patches. Right now, the current base iPad doesn't support Apple's new AI features, called Apple Intelligence, but that could change with the next generation as AI starts playing a bigger role in the overall mobile experience. One thing's pretty much certain: the iPad 12th gen will launch with a next-gen chip under the hood. The current model runs on the A16, so the upcoming one will likely get the A17 – the same chip used in devices like the iPhone 15 series. Apple's chips are known for their power and efficiency, with plenty of headroom for everyday tasks and more. So it makes total sense for Apple to bring these slightly older, but still very capable, chips to its more affordable iPads – like solid hand-me-downs from the flagship models that still pack a punch. You should wait for iPad 12th gen if you're still using an older base model like the iPad 9. By the time the new one arrives, it'll be the perfect moment to upgrade – and going with the latest version is usually a smart move. While it might not be a huge leap over the current iPad 11th gen, it'll definitely be a noticeable upgrade from the iPad 9 or anything older. You should not wait for iPad 12th gen if you already have the iPad 10th gen or just picked up the 11th gen – the improvements probably won't be big enough to justify the switch. Also, if you need something more powerful for heavier tasks like video editing or pro-level multitasking, you're better off looking at the iPad Air or Pro models instead.

It has speakers on each side for a stereo feel, and gets up to 10 hours of battery life. 4.6-star average rating from 191 reviews at Best Buy Insignia is known for budget-friendly TVs, and this one is steeply discounted at 40% off.
