Apple iPad Hits Nine More Countries This Week

By Geoff Duncan July 19, 2010

Just in case you thought the Apple iPad was everywhere, it’s still on it’s way: Apple has confirmed the iPad will launch in nine more countries this Friday, including Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Singapore.

The rollout includes both the WiFi-only and Wi-Fi+3G versions of the iPad, with built-in flash storage ranging from 16 to 64 GB. Apple did not specifically announce local pricing for iPad models in the new markets; in the U.S., pricing ranges from $499 for a 16 GB WiFi-only model to $829 for a WiFi+3G model with 64 GB of storage.

Apple says it plans to launch the iPad in “many more countries” later this year.

5 things the iPhone 15 Pro Max needs to fix before I’ll buy it

iPhone 14 Pro Max in hand.

I’ve been using the top-of-the-line big iPhone for two years now. I shifted to the iPhone 13 Pro Max due to its amazing battery life – which inspired my favorite phone of 2022 article. I tried getting back to the non-Max iPhone 14 Pro, but I couldn’t stay long due to the weak battery life. Since then, I've shifted to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

After using the Pro Max iPhones for over 18 months, here’s what I think the next big Pro iPhone — the iPhone 15 Pro Max — must improve on to deserve the best phone of the year tag again.

With iOS 17 coming in hot for its expected June reveal during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, iPhone owners are anxious to hear about any big features coming with the update. According to Bloomberg, a major change is coming in the form of a complete interface overhaul for locked devices that effectively turns your iPhone into a smart display.

The new interface will supposedly display a plethora of information like the weather, push notifications, upcoming significant calendar dates, and more. Per the report, this new interface displays automatically when your iPhone is locked and laying horizontally with its screen facing up.
