Macworld Apple iPad A16 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 A16 iPad just dropped back down to $299, which is the best price we’ve seen all year. In fact, it’s the lowest price since Black Friday, and we don’t expect it to go any lower until the holiday season rolls around again. The A16 iPad comes with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display that’s sharp, bright, and large enough to make this a genuinely good media device, whether you prefer streaming, reading, sketching, or gaming. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage also gives you a great built-in camera for video calls, and since this tablet comes with 128GB of storage space, you’re getting more than enough for apps, games, and movies. When we reviewed the A16 iPad, we gave it a 4-star rating and loved the design, display, and performance. Granted, you’re not getting Apple Intelligence or a laminated display, but if you want that in an 11-inch tablet, you can spend twice as much on an iPad Air. The A16 is the same processor that powered the iPhone 14 Pro. It handles video editing, multitasking, gaming, and anything else most people throw at a tablet without slowing down or feeling like a compromise. At $299, the 4-star iPad A16 is an easy recommendation for anyone who wants a reliable all-around tablet without overpaying for features they won’t use.04:00 pmApple’s iPhone in prime position to take smartphone market share from rivals – Counterpoint | Mac Daily NewsApple’s iPhone in prime position to take smartphone market share from rivals – Counterpoint

Dell has introduced a redesigned $699 XPS 13 aimed squarely at Apple's budget MacBook Neo, offering a premium aluminum design, touch display, backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7, 512GB of base storage, and various other configuration options. Dell's machine costs more than Apple's entry model but tries to justify the difference with lighter weight, better display specs, and upgrade paths Apple doesn't offer. "The XPS 13 begins at $699 -- students can purchase it for $599 -- while the MacBook Neo costs $599 and drops to $499 for education buyers," notes Bloomberg. From the report: Dell's product allows for more configuration, with up to 32GB of memory compared with the Neo's nonupgradeable 8GB of unified memory. Its display can also produce a wider spectrum of colors and supports refresh rates up to 120 hertz, while Apple reserves its best screens for the pricier MacBook Pro line. The inclusion of a backlit keyboard should allow for easier typing in dark conditions. Dell has also tossed in other nice-to-have upgrades over the Neo like more robust Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking. As for battery life, Dell is touting "up to 17 hours of streaming" versus a comparable 16 hours on the Neo. Still, the XPS comes with compromises of its own: Unlike the Neo, there's no built-in headphone jack, which means owners will need to rely on its quad-speaker audio system, use Bluetooth earbuds or plug a headphone adapter into one of the two USB-C ports.
