Back in the day, “mini” sized tablets were all the rage, but in case you feel that maybe the iPad mini is starting to feel a tad bit too small for your liking, you could be in luck because according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he claims that come 2021, Apple is expected to launch a larger version of the iPad mini.
There’s really nothing not to like about the Apple Pencil. Ok, maybe it is kind of expensive, but if you’re someone who creates a lot of digital art, the low-latency of the Apple Pencil and the palm rejection features are pretty awesome, but as is the case with most styluses, it isn’t quite the same compared to putting pen (or pencil) to actual paper.
Apple’s iPad supports the use of external keyboard and in more recent years, mice as well.

Pretty much all our smartphones come with a built-in calculator app. It’s a standard feature that we probably don’t have to think too much about, but when it comes to devices like the iPad, for some inexplicable reason, there isn’t one. We know you can download third-party calculator apps, but why hasn’t Apple included it?
One of the selling points of the iPad is the accompanying Apple Pencil accessory.

One of the perks of self-driving cars is that, well, it drives itself. This means that in theory, you could be doing something else while the car is being driven.

According to the latest rumors, it has been suggested that Apple could announce a newly redesigned iMac at WWDC 2020.

If you were eyeing Apple’s new iPad Pro and were thinking about getting your hands on it, you might want to do so now. This is because for whatever reason, the tablet seems to be out of stock, at least on Apple’s website where according to the estimated delivery times, it will only be shipping out in the first half of July.
When Apple announced their new iPad Pro earlier this year, they also announced a new Magic Keyboard accessory.

At the moment, Apple’s A13 Bionic chipsets are built on the 7nm fabrication process, but with the upcoming A14, which is expected to debut in this year’s iPhones, it will be upgraded to the 5nm process, but that is expected to drastically change in the next two years because according to DigiTimes, the A16 chipset in 2022 will be built on the 3nm process.
On Apple’s laptops, users can adjust the brightness of their display from either the keyboard or the Touch Bar.
