Why the 2024 iPad Pro, M4 or not, will finally replace my 2018 model
I’m someone who likes to replace my devices often, always getting the latest and greatest of what Apple produces. One glaring exception has been the iPad. I used to buy nearly every new generation, a trend that continued after I made the iPad my primary computer. But for nearly six years, I’ve been using the 2018 iPad Pro—a shockingly long time by my standards. And despite several new models releasing in recent years, I’ve never been enticed enough to upgrade. Why? Because the 2018 model has worked remarkably well. Next week though, my new iPad drought will finally come to an end. Based on what’s widely expected in the 2024 iPad Pro—whether it includes an M4 chip or not—I’m eagerly ready to upgrade. And I suspect a lot of 2018 owners plan to do the same. Let me explain. more…

Pennsylvania has two battling bills that could make tracking with AirTags unlawful
Pennsylvania state representatives have pushed forward a second piece of legislation that would penalize the unauthorized use of Bluetooth trackers, like AirTag, to track someone.Apple AirTagThere's no shortage of instances where someone discovered they were being tracked without their knowledge via AirTag. While the $29 coin-sized trackers have proven useful when retrieving lost luggage, it's also proven too tempting for those with nefarious intentions.On Tuesday, the House of Representatives in Pennsylvania voted overwhelmingly in favor of a bill that would add using a tracking device to secretly follow someone to the state's existing stalking laws. The new law would classify this behavior as a third-degree misdemeanor, which could result in up to 90 days of imprisonment. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Should a 32-inch 4K Mac display really be a non-starter?
Mac display aficionados know that pixel count must scale with screen size to maintain Apple’s standard for “Retina” resolution. That’s why the 24-inch iMac is 4.5K, the 27-inch Studio Display is 5K, and the 32-inch Pro Display XDR is 6K. These resolutions and display sizes each amount to 218 pixels per inch. The result is a balance of sharpness and screen real estate for the price of $1499, $1599, and $4999, respectively. The pursuit of pixels per inch is also why the Mac community endured the LG UltraFine 5K monitor for so long, and why of the Studio Display gets our attention. With that being said, is a larger display with less resolution always a compromise? I’ve been reviewing a BenQ DesignVue Design Monitor for several weeks, and this 4K 32-inch setup has solved a real problem for me. more…
