Apple officially unveiled the iPad yesterday in one of its traditional ‘show and tell” conferences. Tech reporters, Apple fanatics and industry analysts got to experience a brief hands on with the new iPad tablet—demonstrating its speedy custom-designed Apple 1GHz processor (the A4) and the amazing apps that reside under its 1,024-by-768, 9.7-inch LED touch screen. The general consensus among handlers of the new Apple device was that this tablet means business. It is super fast, boasts a bunch of fabulous features and capabilities, and is basically the best tablet on the market for the price. We knew it would be a great device but we wanted to see it in action. Here are some of the best hands on videos we found of the iPad.

I keep forgetting about the Apple Watch Series 9’s coolest feature

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.

This one Apple Fitness feature completely changed how I exercise

I have a confession to make: I'm not good at sticking to a workout routine. I love running, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, etc. In the moment of those exercises and in the post-workout euphoria, I feel amazing. But when it comes to waking up early in the morning to do these things before work? Well, that's where I really struggle.

This has been a problem for a while now. I go to bed with the goal of waking up early and going to the gym, but as I groggily open my eyes to snooze the alarm on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I end up falling back asleep. And I've been repeating this over and over and over again.

Apple is about to do the unthinkable to its iPads

Earlier today, Apple announced that new iPads are coming this May. In my eyes, this seems to be “The Chosen One” generation. We’re likely getting an OLED display, a better keyboard (hopefully), and a chip ready to chomp the AI dinner. This gadget shall finally fill the techno-digital void in my life. At last.

Or maybe I am just trying to blindly convince myself to splurge over a thousand dollars for a machine that is “still not a Mac” and “can never be a fully fleshed out workstation.” But hey, people are spending $3,500 on a headset that gives them a headache and $700 for an AI thingamajig that can’t quite figure out what it really wants to do.
