Macworld Apple iPad Pro M5 View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Apple’s 13-inch iPad Pro has never been cheap, but last week’s price hikes have brought it into the realm of almost too expensive. Good news: Today at Amazon, you can grab Apple’s 13-inch iPad Pro with an M5 chip for $300 off the new price, which means you’re only paying $1,199, which is actually $100 less than it was before Apple raised prices. It’s all a little confusing, but a deal’s a deal, so we’re going to focus on the fact that you can get an iPad for quite a bit less than you can at an Apple Store. This is an M5 iPad too, which means that it is so fast when handling apps, swapping between them, running Apple Intelligence tasks, including the new Siri AI coming with iPadOS 27 in the fall, and more. Back that up with 256GB of storage, and you have a tablet that can handle your workflow without any issue. The display is gorgeous on this tablet, too. The 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR screen delivers extreme brightness and vivid colors that will make photos and videos pop. If you want to make this tablet an actual productivity tool, you’ll have to get even more expensive gear like the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. Still, it’ll be cheaper than getting a MacBook these days. So gab the M5 iPad Pro M5 for $1,199 while it’s still on sale, since the next time it’s on sale, the price will probably be a lot higher.05:37 pmPages, Keynote, and Numbers updates arrive with these new features
Today Apple launched new features for Apple Creator Studio, but the company also has rolled out upgrades for Pages, Keynote, and Numbers—alongside Final Cut Camera—that don’t require a Creator Studio subscription.05:29 pmApple published a new Press Release
Apple just published a new Press Release:Apple Creator Studio gets smarter, faster, and more connected05:26 pmApple Watch is (again) rumored to get a major redesign next year
Macworld It all started with the rumors of the Apple Watch X about three years ago. For the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch, rumors predicted, Apple was going to produce an all-new device with massive changes. A new magnetic band system! A thinner case! MicroLED display! A larger battery! Blood pressure monitoring! Obviously none of that happened, and every now and then we hear a new rumor that a dramatic redesign of the Apple Watch is going to drop “next year.” We’ve already heard that the Apple Watch Ultra 4 is supposed to be a big redesign with a focus on new sensors, though that is seemingly a change to the internal design more than the actual shape of the case, the bands, the buttons, and so on. Now, new rumors from popular Weibo leaker Instant Digital claims that the 2027 Apple Watch—the usual “Series” model not the Ultra—will finally bring a big redesign to market after all these years. It’s not exactly clear what changes we can expect from next year’s new design. The only claim is that the band attachment system will change, allowing for more internal space for a larger battery, while breaking compatibility with existing bands for the first time since the original Apple Watch. What’s likely happening is that Apple intended for a 10th anniversary Apple Watch X to remake the line the way the iPhone X did, but it simply wasn’t ready in time. Apple then continued to work on the design and engineering for a next-generation Apple Watch to serve as the basis for another decade of updates, so it’s sort of always coming “next year.” As far as we’re concerned, don’t believe it until we get much closer to release and Apple starts ordering parts and building production test units. It’s worth noting, however, that the Apple Watch is overdue for a radical change. The watch has changed so little over the years that the same bands all work on previous generations as long as they’re the proper size. That’s more than a decade of consistency, so at some point, these rumors of a major Apple Watch design overhaul are sure to be right. But it won’t be until at least next year. The Apple Watch Series 12, expected to release this fall along with the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra, is not expected to be very different from the current Series 11.05:15 pmLeaker says coming Apple Watch redesign will make your bands obsolete
A leaker says Apple Watch 13 will bring a major redesign, which is great -- except a case redesign may make your band collection useless.
