I think it’s time for Apple to give us Apple Books+ along with Apple News+, Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Apple Fitness, and Apple Arcade. On March 26, 2019, Andrew Orr at The MacObserver had this idea. His take: Apple Books+ would be Apple’s answer to...
The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) is highly dubious of this report: Twitter account holder @analyst941 claims a special version of iPadOS is in the works to support the more advanced capabilities of a range of bigger iPads. The report claims that a 14.1-inch iPad...
