Today the Apple Pencil lineup got more confusing than ever. When Apple introduced the new Apple Pencil Pro, it chose not to remove any of the three existing models from sale. This means there are four Pencil options for new customers.

However, what if you already have an existing Apple Pencil and simply want to upgrade your iPad to the enticing new M4 iPad Pro?

We have some bad news for you.

As well as losing an ultra-wide camera, the new iPad Pro has also dropped support for 5G mmWave.

As seen on the iPad Pro specs page, the M4 iPad Pro supports 5G cellular on sub-6 GHz spectrum only, and LTE on 31 bands. The older cellular iPad Pro could do mmWave and supported one additional LTE band.

Apple today officially unveiled the future of its iPad product category with new iPad Air and iPad Pro lineups. Apple invited influencers and members of the press to New York City and London to go hands-on with the devices. Head below for a roundup of everyone’s first impressions.

While we are scouring the interwebs for upcoming pre-order deals on all of the new gear that debuted during Apple’s Let Loose event, there are still plenty of offers to check out today. Apple’s latest MacBook Pro M3/M3 Pro configs are up to $200 off alongside ongoing offers on AirPods Pro 2 and some Apple chargers. But we also have discounts on current-generation Beats workout buds and clearance pricing on the Apple Pencil 2 as well. Everything is waiting below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break. 

Today at the iPad-focused ‘Let loose’ event, Apple not only introduced compelling new iPad hardware, it also had a first-party software story to tell.

The main highlights of that story were Final Cut Pro 2 and Logic Pro 2 for iPadOS. These major updates to Apple’s iPad-exclusive versions of its pro software suite seem set to take great advantage of advancements like the iPad Pro’s M4 chip.

Included in that announcement, though, was news of a brand new app coming to the iPhone and iPad: Final Cut Camera.

While the new iPad Pro with M4 is a major step forward across the board, there a couple gotchas to be aware of. Firstly, with this generation, Apple has removed the ultra-wide camera from the rear camera module altogether.

Also, while Apple touts the performance jump of the 10-core CPU found inside the new M4 chip, that chip variant is exclusive to the 1 TB and 2 TB iPad Pro models. Lower storage iPads get a 9-core CPU. They also have half the RAM …

Apple’s M4 iPad Pro and new iPad Air are both on sale, and the company’s website has revealed some key additional info about the devices that were not mentioned during the announcement.

One such tidbit has to do with a change in how SIMs are handled on both iPads.

Apple has officially launched the all-new iPad Pro and iPad Air with M4 and M2 chips. And with that, the company has revealed the 2024 iPad battery life and other tech specs for the all-new tablets. Here’s what you can expect.

Apple on Tuesday held its special “Let Loose” event at which the company introduced the new M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro. Interestingly, at the end of the event, Apple confirmed that it was entirely recorded on the iPhone (potentially on the iPhone 15 Pro). But the most intriguing part is that the company also says it was “edited on Mac… and iPad.”

While refreshing the iPad line at the mid to high end, Apple has also rejiggered the starting lineup as well. Starting today, the iPad 10th generation is priced from $349. Meanwhile, the iPad 9th generation is discontinued, ending the era of Home button iPads.

Today Apple unveiled the brand new M4-powered iPad Pro, a major upgrade that comes with a brand new Ultra Retina XDR display. The new display uses OLED technology and comes with a first for the iPad: a nano-texture glass option.

Unfortunately, not all of the new iPad Pro models can opt for the nano-texture display, as Apple is limiting this option to the two highest storage tiers.

Alongside the new iPads, a new Apple Pencil Pro has been announced, priced at $129 – the same price as the Pencil 2.

The latest version of the device is a significant upgrade. However, it is only compatible with the latest iPads – both Air and Pro …

Today at its iPad-focused ‘Let loose’ event, Apple announced a brand new version of the iPad’s Magic Keyboard, which was first introduced in 2020.

This new model of iPad keyboard is tailored more directly to the needs of pro users than its predecessor. It’s thinner and lighter, but also comes with a larger trackpad and function row.

Alongside the new iPad Pro announcement, Apple today unveiled next-generation versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad. They are designed to be much more sophisticated and much more capable, to take advantage of the M4 chip performance found in the new iPad Pro.

The new Final Cut Pro 2 for iPad includes live multi-cam editing. Up to four iPhones can record different angles of a scene at the same time, and that footage is streamed into the iPad running Final Cut …

The rumors were true: Apple on Tuesday unveiled M4, the next generation of its Apple Silicon chip. Built with the 3 nanometer chip architecture, M4 is the first Apple chip to be built for AI from the ground up. M4 is the chip that powers the new generation iPad Pro and will soon be inside Macs – so read on as we detail what changes with this chip.

Apple today announced the new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro, as part of its ‘Let Loose’ special event. The new iPad Pro makes the leap to the M4 chip, the next-generation of Apple silicon, for improved performance. Apple touted its new Neural Engine to stress the artificial intelligence capabilities.

The new tablets feature OLED displays, offering richer contrast and brightness, housed in a new thinner industrial design that is significantly smaller and lighter; the 11-inch is 5.3mm thin and the 13-inch is 5.1mm thin, which Apple says makes it the thinnest product they have ever created. The new 11-inch model starts at a higher $999 price point, and the 13-inch model starts at $1299.

Apple has officially unveiled the all-new iPad Air 6. For the first time, the iPad Air comes in two sizes: 11-inch and 13-inch.

Today’s the day that Apple will update the iPad lineup for the first time in over a year. Today’s special Apple event, dubbed “Let loose,” will include new iPad Air, iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard, and Apple Pencil announcements. Head below to follow along with everything in real-time.

As is tradition, Apple has taken down the Apple Store ahead of its special event, which kicks off at 7 AM PT. The video presentation will see Apple introduce the next-generation iPad Pro, iPad Air, and accompanying new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil accessories.

The iPad Pro is expected to be the star of the show, touting a new OLED display, M4 chip with AI capabilities, a new thinner industrial design and more.

Alongside the new iPads, we’re expecting Apple to launch a new design of iPad keyboard case today, potentially branded as the Magic Keyboard Pro.

This could give the iPad Pro and keyboard combo a more MacBook-like appearance – but could also lead a growing number of would-be iPad Pro buyers to conclude that they’d be better off with a MacBook Air …

Musi is a free music app for iPhone which has been downloaded tens of millions of times – but a new piece says that the legality of the app is in question.

Musi launched back in 2016, and proved a hit with teens in particular, as it provides free streaming music without the audio ad interruptions you get on the free tier of Spotify …

Earlier this year, Apple canceled its decade-long Project Titan electric car initiative, but a new report from DigiTimes says that Apple’s electric vehicle ambitions might not be over. According to the story, Apple is “assessing the possibility of teaming up with a certain US EV startup, and Rivian is a very likely candidate.”

WaterField is debuting an all-new travel bag just in time for Apple’s new iPads. Shinjuku is a slim messenger bag that’s packed with pockets. Available in two materials, Shinjuku comes in two sizes and three colors.

Apple has been investing a lot in artificial intelligence recently, and soon the company will introduce its own generative AI to the world. In fact, it looks like the company is taking AI seriously, as a new report claims that Apple is developing a new chip specifically to power AI processing data centers.

Apple on Monday was hit by a US Labor Board ruling on whether or not the company was illegally interrogating its employees about unionization activities. In that case, the board agreed that Apple had indeed been coercively interrogating its retail staff in New York City.

It’s been a long time since the first rumors about Sonos, a company known for its , working on headphones. These rumors have become more frequent over the last few months, and now we finally have confirmation of those rumors – sort of.

Update: More images of the new headphones have leaked. You can see them below.

We’re less than a day away from Apple unveiling the first updates to the iPad line since 2022. In other words, there are only a few more hours left to speculate about new iPads! That made me think of something that I’ve been meaning to write about — and have been regularly writing on — for a few months. And no, it’s not an iPad.

Last week, Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius made it clear that the automaker has no plans to support Apple’s next-generation CarPlay platform.

In a new interview with The Verge, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath took a different approach and said that he would be open to giving Apple control over all the screens in a Polestar car.

is generally the default option for most people looking for a way to store an identification card, credit card, and more. While it’s Find My integration is great, that does mean its double the cost of a lot of the MagSafe wallets from other vendors. The Urban Fit is a perfect example of a solid alternative to Apple’s wallet. At half the cost, it can hold three cards and works great on the back of your iPhone.

Tomorrow at the ‘Let loose’ event, Apple is expected to debut next-generation iPad Pro and iPad Air models alongside some brand new iPad accessories.

The iPad Pro seems set to be the focal point, with a brand new OLED display, thinner body, and very possibly the launch of Apple’s M4 chip. New versions of the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are also expected, both of which will likely be exclusive to the iPad Pro.

Evidence found on Apple’s Japanese site suggests the new Pencil may be dubbed the Apple Pencil Pro. Which got me thinking: adding the Pro name to the Magic Keyboard makes a lot of sense too, especially since only the new iPad Pro will support it.

Here’s why it may be just the right time for a Magic Keyboard Pro and Apple Pencil Pro.

Today in a subscriber-only post, analyst Ross Young reported that he and his team have heard rumblings about a new iPhone display size being introduced with 2025’s iPhone 17 lineup.

This new display size would take the spot of the current iPhone Plus model, continuing to offer a larger iPhone option at a more affordable price. However, in a surprising move, this reported new size will take the iPhone Plus in a direction that will likely be unexpected by many.
