The latest iPad Pro is a remarkable device. It's got a super thin body while boasting a gorgeous OLED display and the powerful M4 SoC. However, iPadOS limitations combined with an exorbitant price, make it overkill for most users.
Something to look forward to: With its newly announced iPads, Apple is fast-tracking the introduction of its M4 processors to compete in the upcoming AI PC race. Although the Cupertino giant claims it has the most powerful NPU on the market, Qualcomm might disagree. Meanwhile, Intel is preparing significant AI performance upgrades over the next year, and Nvidia claims that its GPUs reign supreme in generative AI.
In a nutshell: Apple has formally taken the wraps off its new iPad Pro lineup, and there's a lot to get excited about. The tablets are powered by new Apple M4 silicon (M3, we hardly knew you) and are the thinnest Apple devices ever created – and that's just scratching the surface.
In a nutshell: Apple and Samsung were the best-selling smartphone manufacturers in the first quarter of 2024, together occupying every spot on Counterpoint's latest global top 10 list. iPhones captured four of the top five positions, conceding only the fifth spot to Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra. At the top of the stack is the iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to the report, this is the first non-seasonal quarter in which a Pro Max variant reached the top of the hill.
More than a dozen apps are expected to see major changes
Rumor mill: iOS 18 is expected to bring significant updates including a revamped design language and expanded customization features. The upcoming release is also rumored to introduce extensive changes to various built-in iPhone apps such as Notes, Mail, Photos, Fitness, and others.
