Good afternoon,

Australia's top five data centres providers – AirTrunk, AWS, CDC, Microsoft and NextDC – have hit back at claims they are exacerbating climate change, given the amount of energy and water they use to power and cool their ­servers, as they say they will invest an extra $26bn on their local assets by 2030.

Tech giants are also doubling down on their pledges to slash carbon emissions. Apple, Amazon and Uber reveal their plans to go green.

We take a look at Apple's smallest and newest iPad, which has been redesigned for the artificial intelligence boom, featuring a faster chip and neural engine as well as new colours.

The Australian's annual tech magazine, The List Top 100 Innovators, celebrating the nation's most innovative entrepreneurs was unveiled on October 18. Find out who's building the future in The List   online at theaustralian.com.au.
