Apple has a habit of introducing new iPhones in September, but according to a report from Bloomberg, next-gen smartphones may just be one part of the company’s next hardware event. Bloomberg’s sources indicate that we can expect three new iPhones, new iPad and iPad Pro models, and the first MacBook Pro to feature a 16 […]

Apple brings mouse support to iPads and iPhones (as an accessibility feature in iOS 13/iPadOS)
Apple has been claiming for years that you can use an iPad Pro to get real work done… as long as you don’t think you need a mouse for work, because up until now iOS hasn’t supported mouse input. But that changed this week when Apple launched developer previews of iPadOS and iOS 13. Now […]
iPadOS: Apple tablets aren’t just big iPhones anymore
The first Apple iPad launched in 2010, and at the time it was running pretty much the same software that ran on the company’s iPhones. Over time Apple has added more iPad-specific features that take advantage of larger displays and more powerful hardware — and the differences really started to accelerate when Apple introduced the […]
Apple launches 10.5 inch iPad Air for $499 and up
Apple’s iPad family tree is getting a bit more complicated. Yesterday if you wanted to buy a current-gen iPad you had three choices: an iPad, iPad mini, or iPad Pro. Now the company is bringing back a fourth option: the iPad Air. It sits somewhere between the entry-level iPad and the iPad Pro in terms […]
Apple’s new iPad mini packs an A12 chip, sells for $399 and up
Apple’s smallest iPad is now powered by the same Apple A12 Bionic processor found in the company’s most powerful smartphones. The company says the 2019 iPad mini offers three times the performance of previous-gen models, and nine times faster graphics.

Daily Deals (2-25-2019)
Apple’s 9.7 inch iPad normally sells for $330 and up, but today you can pick one up from Amazon for $250, which is about as cheap as Apple’s current-gen tablets ever get. Then again, if that’s too much money for you, there’s always Amazon’s Fire tablets — they’re on sale this week which means you […]
iOS code hints at cheaper iPads (and a new iPod touch)
It’s been ore than three years since Apple released a new iPod touch, but it looks like the company may have a new one in the works… along with several new iPads. Developer Steven Troughton-Smith dug through some of the code for iOS 12.2 and found references to several previously unannounced iPhones, plus a new […]
Lilbits 334: Google Pixel 3 launch is coming Oct 9th (probably)
With all the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL leaks in recent weeks, you’d be excused for thinking we already know everything there is to know about the new phones (or at least the larger one). But that hasn’t stopped Google from scheduling a “Made By Google” event in New York City on the […]
Apple’s next iPad could have thinner bezels, no home button according to iOS 12 clues
Apple has a habit of leaking details about upcoming hardware through small details in the code of its operating systems. For example iOS 11 beta included a drawing of a phone with a notch in the display, sort of confirming that the iPhone X would have such as design before Apple was ready to publicly […]
Apple introduces iOS 12
Apple is getting ready to launch the next version of iOS, the operating system that powers its iPhones and iPads, and the company says iOS 12 will be available on every device that currently supports iOS 11. In other words, devices released as long ago as 2013 will support the latest version of iOS. New […]
Apple unveils new 9.7 inch iPad with Pencil support
When Apple launched its first tablet, one of the things that made it different from the dozens of Windows tablets that came before was that you didn’t need to use a stylus. Early iPads were basically iPhones with big screens and they were designed to run apps that you could use with your fingers. In […]

Google Lens began rolling out to (some) Android devices last year before expanding to additional devices earlier this year. Now Google Lens isn’t just for Android anymore. Google has announced that it’s rolling out a Google Lens preview for iOS starting this week. It’s part of the Google Photos app for iPhone and iPad. Google Lens […]
