A new iPhone case doesn’t just bring protection, it can bring style, class, and functionality too. Today’s deal brings all that at an insanely low price: Amazon’s Woot is selling the Case-Mate Leather Wallet Folio for the iPhone 15 Plus for just $5, a ridiculous $60 off the MSRP and the lowest price you’ll ever find for a case this good.

This case doesn’t just look good with “soft” genuine pebbled black leather, it also adds space for 3 credit cards, an ID card,... Читать дальше...

One of Apple’s best accessories is its keyboard case for iPad Air and Pro, called Magic Keyboard. To go along with the newly-designed, thinner iPad Pro, Apple introduced a new sleeker Magic Keyboard. It’s got almost everything we loved about the old Magic Keyboard like pass-through USB-C charging and quality backlit keys (sadly the high price tag comes with it), but makes the following improvements:

• It’s thinner.
• There’s a half-height function row to control quick settings like brightness... Читать дальше...

Along with new iPad hardware at its Let Loose event, Apple announced new versions of its professional media creation apps, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. The iPad versions are updated to version 2, while the Mac versions get AI enhancements.

At its Let Loose event on May 7, Apple announced an all-new version of the iPad Air. As expected, the update includes a larger-screen model and an upgrade from the M1 to the M2 processor.

The new Air comes in four similar colors: blue, purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. But there’s a lot more to this upgrade than appearances.

Upgraded screen

The eye-catching change for the 2024 generation is the new larger screen option. Ahead of the event, pundits... Читать дальше...

As the Let Loose event wound down Tuesday, Tim Cook had one last announcement before the stream ended: the 10th-gen iPad now starts at $349, an impressive $100 price drop. What he didn’t say is the move also means the 9th-gen iPad is gone.

Apple hasn’t updated the 9th-gen iPad since September 2021, so it’s not a huge surprise to see it go away. It still had Apple’s old iPad design with a Home button and Lightning port, tapered edges, and A13 Bionic chip, with a starting price of $329. Читать дальше...

For some reason, Apple sells three accessories all named Apple Pencil, each with different features and compatibility. The solution? A fourth Apple Pencil!

The new Apple Pencil Pro may seem like an unnecessary complication to a stylus lineup for an accessory that shouldn’t need a lineup, but there’s no arguing that it doesn’t deliver the features everyone wants. Apple Pencil Pro looks just like the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil, and it supports all the same features including magnetic charging and pairing... Читать дальше...

Apple introduced a major update to the iPad Pro during Tuesday’s “Let Loose” event. Promoting the new iPads as AI-capable tablets, the new 13-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro have several upgrades over the models they replace—with a higher starting price to go with them.

At the heart of the iPad Pro is an M4 System on a Chip, a big leap in silicon from the M2 chips they replace. The M4 has a 10-core CPU, with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, and Apple claims... Читать дальше...

On some Apple products, including the Apple Studio Display and M4 iPad Pro, a feature called nano-texture glass is available. This is something that was first introduced on the incredibly expensive Pro Display XDR, before coming to other Apple products beginning with the now-discontinued 27-inch iMac. So, what is it, and should you spend hundreds more to have it adorn your screen?

What is Nano-texture glass?

Glare is often a problem in brightly lit offices and homes... Читать дальше...

Apple’s new iPad Pro is powered by the M4 processor, skipping the M3 entirely. Apple has never debuted an M-series processor in a product other than the Mac, so the launch of this new processor in the iPad Pro is an unexpected surprise.

The M4 is made on an enhanced 3nm process and contains over 28 billion transistors and has the following advanced features in the iPad Pro:

• 4 high-performance CPU cores with improved branch prediction and wider decode and execution engines. Читать дальше...

The Macalope asks, do you want AI fast, or do you want it right?

The Washington Post, it seems, wants it fast.

“Apple is behind in AI and killed its self-driving car project. What’s next?”

Based on the implications here, we can safely assume it’s one or more of the following:

• Filing for bankruptcy.
• Waking up in a dumpster outside of Akron dressed in a Mr. Red costume, remembering nothing of the last four days.
• Driving for Uber Eats... Читать дальше...
