Apple introduces AppleCare One, streamlining coverage into a single plan with incredible value

Are your devices newer? My iPhone 14 Pro Max is $9.99, M1 iPad Air is $3.99, and Watch series 7 is $3.99, so AppleCare One is actually more expensive.

No new ipad 12th gen.....

Apple has way too many iPad models. iPad Air should be the base iPad at $399. The lineup should be Air, Pro, Mini. I really enjoy my M1 Air but I waited until it dropped to $399. There’s no way I can justify getting it at $599, even the new M4 that just came out… the screen is my biggest gripe and t

MacBook Neo Charging Test: Here's Which Apple Charger is the Fastest

£618 includes VAT It's £515 not including VAT £515 converts to $687 which is $87 (14.5%) more than the US price of $599 Is that fair? Probably not. Buts the way it's always been Because retailers have to build in a margin for currency fluctuations, as they don't readjust their GBP price on a daily b

Wait or Hunt it

Honestly you might benefit more from a 12.9-inch M1 or M2 iPad Pro. You get a (still) stunning miniLED display, 120Hz, Face ID, and more performance than your use case would ever call for, all for around the same price as the new iPad Air.

I regret buying my iPad Pro

I disagree - iPad is a unique form factor, and I understand if it doesn’t work for everyone. You don’t have to bring it with you, choose the laptop or the tablet for the task. iPad pro’s promotion 120hz is important if you use Apple Pencil, and overall smoother especially if your other devices are 1

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today?

If your main priority is extended display support for studies (notes on iPad + lecture on external screen), both the Apple 11" iPad Wi‑Fi (A16) and the Apple 11" iPad Air Wi‑Fi + Cellular (M1) only mirror the display — they don’t offer a true extended desktop where you use the external screen as a s

This feels like an amazing deal for students

The Apple Pencil usb c is never a good deal , you will hate yourself whenever it comes to charging it . Very counter intuitive and you ll have to worry about charging it everytime… You could grab an air5 with an Apple Pencil second gen for the same price!

Am i killing my ipad?

This can task it a lot with screenshots and photos … I use onenote for ebook and physical book pictures so I can annotate the textbook in a Cornell note style. Really uses a lot of graphics horsepower to do this … my M1 Pro struggled, as iPhone photos got larger, so upgraded to worthless M2 iPad AIR

if you're a college student, you can buy these Apple products with $1750

Yeah, that's how I've used an iPad mini since the original game out. Sadly, the iPad Pro M2 I got to replace my mini has terrible GPS reception. I had lived the idea of a giant GPS screen on the go, better split screen, etc, but the very first time I used it, it was off by around 1.5-2 miles. I look

Planning on trading in my iPad Air 5th Gen for the newer M4, question about the Magic Keyboard compatibiliy

Its a bit confusing for me as well (also have M1 iPad Air, which is the 5th gen) because some people told me its not compatible due to the magnets changing position, but i see the physical appearance of the M1, M2, M3 and M4 iPad Airs and look exactly identical, plus the compatibility Apple shows on
