Terry McGraw of noted book publisher McGraw-Hill announced some very [not really] shocking and exciting news during his interview on CNBC. McGraw openly blabbed about how books from his publishing company will be featured on the new Apple tablet that is being announced “tomorrow.” McGraw also said that his company had been working out this content deal with Apple for a long time [ouch] and that the “tablet will be based on the iPhone operating system” [double ouch].

Whether he speaks the truth, is completely lying or just misinformed— we still think Terry McGraw might be getting a very angry phone call from someone wearing a black long sleeve turtle-neck, light denim jeans and casual tennis shoes—if you catch our drift.

Now watch the magic happen in this video…

Apple could drop new hardware later this week, but don’t expect any fireworks

Apple could nudge us into the era of M5 silicon, but not atop a hardware evolution.

Apple’s Fall launch event was pretty stacked, as the company delivered an ultra-slim iPhone, improved flagship earbuds, and a trio of smartwatches. Now, it seems the company is focused on unveiling its next wave of computing gear, and they could be revealed next week.

What’s on the horizon?

Tablets

Apple’s new iPad Pro is faster, smarter, and built for AI

With the new M5 chip at its core, the latest iPad Pro pushes performance to new heights.

What's happened? Apple today lifted the covers off the next-gen M5 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models, both featuring its latest M5 chip.

The 2025 iPad Pro is available in 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes, with both models packing Apple's Ultra Retina XDR displays.

I’m liking Apple’s M5 update because it favors smaller fixes over flashy upgrades

Faster storage, more RAM, increased comfort, and better connectivity? I'll take it all.

Apple is shifting into the next phase of computing with the launch of new machines powered by the M5 chip. In a single batch, the company revealed three “new” machines equipped with its next-gen processor – a refreshed iPad Pro in two sizes, a 14-inch MacBook Pro, and a second-generation Vision Pro headset.

The term “new” is a tad subjective here. All these machines look exactly like their respective predecessors. Additionally, the focus on AI enhancements somewhat took away from their standalone merits. What caught my attention was that these new devices don't try to make a huge splash with head-turning changes.
