Apple brings mouse support to iPads and iPhones (as an accessibility feature in iOS 13/iPadOS)
6 Comments on 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.

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 […]

Early iPads were basically iPhones with big screens and they were designed to run apps that you could use with your fingers. In […]
