As per a report by people with knowledge of the matter, the Cupertino-based tech giant Apple expects to delay the iPadOS update by about a month, which sounds quite odd as it won't be released at the same time as the new iOS update like it used to. iOS 16 is set to come out in September, while iPadOS 16, as per the new report, will only roll out in October.

It was initially a big success because of its user-friendly design and single-application concentration, but the iPad had become a little boring for some who want more depth. One of the world's most powerful medium-format computers, the gap between its capabilities and the types of work it accepts has been widening...

In the face of COVID lockdown-related supply disruptions, Apple is moving some iPad production from China to Vietnam, according to Nikkei Asia. The company is also taking other measures with its suppliers to soften the blow of supply issues in China. This is not Apple's first attempt to move some production out of China. Some iPhones have been made in India, a small number of Macs have been assembled in the United States, and Vietnam is already a major factor in AirPods production.

For the past few months, I’ve been living a double life. Most of you probably know me as “the iPad guy”. And rightfully so: the iPad – more specifically, the iPad Pro – is my favorite computer Apple’s ever made; my coverage of iPad, iPad apps, and, later, iPadOS has far exceeded everything else on MacStories for the last 10 years. I’ve long considered myself primarily an iPad user and someone who strongly believes in the platform because there’s nothing else like it. I don’t think I need to tell that story again.

Apple's new iPhone and iPad software, iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, are expected to be announced at its annual developers conference Monday.

A new Apple patent has suggested that a future iPad or version of iPadOS could include the ability to transform the tablet into a macOS-like user experience when it's attached to an external keyboard. The patent, first reported by Patently Apple, is wide-ranging in its potential implementation. Apple regularly patents dozens of ideas, and only very few ever see the light of day. Nonetheless, this patent describes a base device, such as a keyboard that includes keys and a trackpad, that could be coupled with a computing device, such as an ‌iPad‌, to deliver what seems like a macOS similar experience with an Apple Pencil.

Last week, Apple released its earnings report for the second quarter of the year, which ended in March. While the company just launched a new iPad Air with the M1 chip, Center Stage, and 5G support, numbers show that the iPad is generating less money and it’s suffering from a year-over-year sales decline. Personally, I blame iPadOS for that.

It uses the iPad’s accelerometer to detect movements.

Multiple new customers who have bought Apple's iPad Air state they have noticed poor build quality on the device. According to multiple users on Reddit who have bought the new iPad Air, the rear aluminium panel of the device feels noticeably thinner than the previous model, leading to creaking.

This year the Air is more Pro than ever

A lower-cost alternative to the iPad Pro

Apple’s smallest iPad has big ambitions, but we wanted to find out how it fared after a whole month of use

Camera Raw files can be easily adjusted on the go and are imported as ACR Smart Objects. This method allows users to open their edited file in Photoshop for Mac or Windows and still have access to their embedded raw file and any adjustments made to it.

A DigitTimes report claims that Apple will launch iPad 9 next month and that will help boost its tablets shipments up to 60 million units.

Following a short period of downtime, the Apple Store is back up again and now features an entirely new design. Apple has also restored the old dedicated “store” tab in the navigation bar. The new store webpage looks very similar to the Apple Store app on iPad and iPhone.

Apple is widely rumored to be planning a new iPad mini with a significant redesign, including a larger 8.5-inch to 9-inch display with slimmer bezels, a Touch ID power button instead of a home button, a USB-C port instead of a Lightning connector, and more.

The announcement of new iPad software at this year’s WWDC conference had an abnormally large expectation hung on it. The iPad lineup, especially the larger iPad Pro, has kept up an impressively frantic pace of hardware innovation over the past few years. In that same time frame, the software of the iPad, especially its ability to allow users to use multiple apps at once and in its onramps for professional software makers, has come under scrutiny for an apparently slower pace.

The hardware on the new iPad Pro is absolutely stellar, far beyond any competition in the tablet space. But, Apple's newly announced iPadOS 15 is so decidedly not-pro that it's fair to question whether the company will ever fully take the training wheels off of its restrictive software.

In a report published this morning, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg says that customers should expect stricter privacy controls, updates to iPad multitasking aimed at attracting advanced users, and new notification modes. The incoming iOS notification banner is said to be redesigned, with more of a focus on auto-reply actions. There will also be interface updates for Apple TV and Apple Watch.

Apple just released a new iPad Pro which, apart from a fractional difference in thickness in the larger, 12.9-inch version, looked identical to last year’s model.
