iPad (2025) with A16 review: No Apple Intelligence, no problem
When it debuted in 2022, Apple's 10th-generation iPad sat in something of a no-man's land, bringing a long-overdue design revamp at an inflated price. A year and a half later, Apple gave the slate a 100 price cut and immediately turned it into a much more enticing value. Now, the company has quietly released a follow-up. Dubbed the iPad (A16), the new tablet is a far less dramatic update, one with welcome performance improvements that otherwise refuses to rock the boat. It even lacks the Apple Intelligence features Apple has endlessly promoted over the past year.

Apple's OLED iPad Pro may come packing an M4 chip and an emphasis on AI
Apple's "Let Loose" iPad event is just over a week away, and the rumors in the leadup are starting to get interesting. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the much-anticipated OLED iPad Pro may arrive not with the new M3 chip as we've all been expecting, but the next-gen M4 instead. In the Power On newsletter on Sunday, Gurman wrote that he's "hearing there is a strong possibility" that this will be the case. And, he says it'll herald Apple's official entry into AI. "I believe Apple will position the tablet as its first truly AI-powered device -- and that it will tout each new product from then on as an AI device," Gurman wrote.
