Apple Considering Less Disruptive Siri Behavior in Future Version of iPadOS
Say "Hey Siri" when using an iPad, and Apple's virtual assistant will take over the entire display, obscuring whatever you were doing on the device. Say the same thing to your Mac, however, and Siri responds in a more multitasking-friendly way by appearing in a small window in the corner of the screen, allowing you to drag and drop retrieved items from it.

I might be able to finally replace my MacBook with an iPad thanks to iPadOS
Apple announced a mountain of new software updates during its two-hour WWDC keynote on Monday. Highlights included dark mode for iOS 13, a "Sign in with Apple" feature that's clearly shade at Facebook and Google, an App Store and menstrual cycle tracking for Apple Watches, and the death of iTunes. Oh, and of course, the ridiculously powerful and pricey new "cheese grater" Mac Pro.

This week in tech history: Apple releases the first iPad
Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the iPad in January of 2010, but April 3rd was the first day normal people could get their hands on a device that represented Apple's vision for the future of computing. That sounds like a seriously high-minded goal for a device that many derisively referred to as a "giant iPod touch" when it was announced, but Jobs pulled no punches in that first presentation.

Apple iPad mini (2019) review: Reliable, not revolutionary
After three long years, Apple's smallest tablet, the iPad mini, is back. But the new iPad mini isn't completely new the way the iPad Pros are. Like someone returning from years spent abroad, the new iPad mini is still mostly the same tablet as the iPad mini 4 released in 2015 — it looks identical (bezels and all) and works with all previous accessories — but its skills have leveled up.

Apple's Dan Riccio Says 2018 iPad Pro 'Meets or Exceeds' Quality Standards of Design and Precision, More Info to Come
Earlier this week, Apple told The Verge that some 2018 iPad Pro models are shipping with a slight bend in the aluminum chassis, which is a side effect of the manufacturing process that is not expected to worsen over time or negatively impact the iPad's performance. Many MacRumors readers were concerned about Apple's position that a noticeable bend is not a manufacturing issue, prompting MacRumors reader Craig to send an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook to express his concerns.

Your iPad Pro may be bent -- and Apple says it's not a defect
iPhone and iPad have long been subjected to bend tests to see how they hold up to abuse. But what about if your iPad Pro arrived with a bend in the casing? You'd send it back and ask for a replacement or a refund, right? But Apple does not believe that an iPad Pro that arrives bent is defective.

The absurdity of the “can the iPad replace a laptop” debate
Matt is right on point here. I think the iPhone is the personal computing device of our generation. Our parents had the PC revolution, and it was a massive change unlike almost anything we’ve seen before. The PC was the center of everything for decades, but the smartphone is the new king of the hill. In the first quarter of 2017 it’s estimated 348 million smartphones were sold worldwide, while 62 million PCs we sold in the same time period.

The iPad was supposed to kill the PC. What happened?
It’s rare to see a new piece of technology – even one bearing the hallowed Apple logo – to achieve mass popularity as quickly as the iPad did after it was released almost six years ago. In the first year after the tablet computer was unveiled, Apple sold 19m of them, and after two years it had sold 67m. In comparison the iPhone’s early sales stood at 5m in year one and 21m in its first 24 months. The instant success led Steve Jobs to predict the arrival of the “post-PC era” in 2010...

Kid Racks Up $5,900 Bill on Dad's iPad Playing Jurassic World
As long as there are smartphones and tablets, games geared for kids, and kids with enough time on their hands (and creativity) to thwart their parents' security measures, there will always be kids racking up huge charges on their parents' accounts. That's just the nature of the child-parent relationship, we feel. The latest in the "you spent what on my what" saga comes from West Sussex, England. According to The Metro, Mohamed Shugaa recently found that his seven-year-old son...
