The MGM Hack and what it means for Device TrustBy Dan Moren for Macworld
A new iPad Pro is coming to take the tablet crown (and your money)
The iPad, remember that? It’s been a minute since Apple unveiled new models of its tablets—about 807,690 minutes, to be precise—but all indications point to brand new models being rolled out as part of an Apple keynote next week, on May 7.
A lot has happened in the intervening time: Apple has released a brand new version of iPadOS, the Apple Vision Pro was announced and shipped, and the M2 processors have given way to the M3—with the promise of more soon. Throughout all of that, the iPad Pro and tenth-generation iPad have remained static and unchanging—and the iPad Air and iPad mini lines date back even further, to March 2022 and September 2021 respectively.
So what do we expect from some brand new iPads? Can Apple move the needle significantly, or is the iPad hardware still so far out ahead of its software that we’ll end up with a lot more horsepower but without too much to use it on.
