Apple’s 7th-gen iPad has the same $329 starting price as last year’s model. It also has the same Apple A10 Fusion processor and support for the original Apple Pencil (but not the newer Apple Pencil 2). But the new 2019 iPad has a bigger screen — Apple has moved from a 9.7 inch Retina display […]

Bloomberg: Apple to launch iPhone Pro, 16 inch MacBook Pro in September (and much more)
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.

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 […]
