Apple just wrapped up its second big presentation of the year on Oct. 16, and we heard all about the latest iPads and Macs. The iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 debuted at the event alongside the incredibly pixel-dense 5K iMac and the Mac Mini.

Now that the event is officially over, you will be able to watch the full presentation on Apple’s website. Apple hasn’t posted the video yet, but it should be up soon. You can also check out our full coverage of the event and the new products by clicking on the following links:

Thanks for joining us in our special Apple Event chat!

We all watched the Apple event live. We ranted and raved about what Apple had to say. A good number of our writers and staff joined in, as did some of you DT readers! It was a great experience and you can relive it below (for now). The chat is closed, though.

How to use external storage with an iPhone or iPad
External Devices with iOS

While cloud storage has made things a bit less troublesome, most people will eventually max out the available space on their iPad or iPhone. From games and apps to music and more, there are thousands of files vying for your SSD — and even if you pick up a model with a 1TB SSD, there's a good chance that years of use will consume every last byte of space you had available.

Apple may announce new iPads next month. Here’s everything we expect

When it comes to Apple, we expect a new product refresh annually at this point, including for the iPad. However, that didn't happen in 2023. In fact, 2023 was the first year that Apple didn't release a new iPad model at all, which means we haven’t had new iPad releases since 2022.

It’s unclear why we didn’t see any new iPads last year. However, that should also be an indicator that we can expect some big changes for the next generation of iPad models, which are rumored to come out this year. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has even said that we could see new iPads as early as March.

Apple’s new iPad Pro may not be as expensive as we feared

Apple didn’t release a new iPad last year, which means 2024 should be a banner year for the popular tablets. And now there's been word that the upcoming iPad Pro lineup, likely to include OLED for the first time, might not cost as much as we once feared.

According to a new report from DigiTimes, the upcoming iPad Pro models won’t see a dramatic price hike, as was suggested in December. Previously, it was reported that the 2024 11-inch iPad Pro would cost at least $1,500, while the next 12.9-inch model (which will have a larger 13-inch display) would start at $1,800. The current models start at $799 and $1,099, respectively.
