It is speculated that the Apple event will include the launch of 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, Apple Pencil, redesigned Magic Keyboard, and two iPad Airs. This year, the company may announce significant enhancements to its new generation of iPads. However, a new rumour speculates that the 12.9-inch iPad Air will skip the mini-LED display technology this year. But there is also a catch to the rumour.

Apple has announced that it's hosting a special online event on May 7, 2024 to launch the 2024 range of iPads which will include the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models.

Apple has been rumoured to develop displays for iPhone or iPad foldable. While the plans for iPhone foldable may seem slim. The company has been rigorously working on the iPad foldable. Earlier, Samsung and LG were reported to be asked to develop the displays for the Apple foldable device. Now, a new report has emerged which highlights that Apple is not satisfied with the display crease which is creating a huge challenge. This particular problem may lead Apple to drop the plan bringing foldable devices to the market entirely. Know what the expert said about the current challenges for developing iPad foldable displays.

The Apple iPad 10th Generation presents a compelling offer on Flipkart, where it's currently available at an enticing price. Initially listed at ₹39,900, the iPad 10th Gen is now discounted to Rs. 36,900, marking a 7% reduction. Moreover, customers can leverage additional savings through exchange offers.

Rumours about the possible launch dates of the Apple iPad Pro and iPad Air models have been surfacing for some time now, with a handful of them suggesting they could come out on March 26. Obviously, that did not come to fruition. While this isn't the first time that the launch of new iPads has been delayed, the updates are desperately needed because there have been no upgrades in the last two years. Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has suggested that both new iPads may debut in early May 2024 ahead of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. 

Cybersecurity watchdog Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a warning for iPhone and iPad users, citing multiple vulnerabilities that might make the Apple devices defenceless against certain cyber threats.

Apple's foray into the world of foldable devices has been a long time coming, with rumors swirling for years about the tech giant's plans. While many speculated that Apple's first foldable offering would be an iPhone Fold, recent reports suggest that the company has other ambitions.

As anticipation builds for the upcoming Apple iPad Pro models, fresh insights have emerged about other models and these suggest that the tech giant has more in store for its tablet lineup. Reports indicate that alongside the iPad Pro, Apple is poised to extend its iPad Air range with the introduction of a groundbreaking 12.9-inch Apple iPad Air model- a first for the iPad Air series.

2023 was a weird year for Apple. We saw the launch of the iPhone 15 series, the Apple M3 chip, and new MacBooks. There was even a new iMac! However, one Apple product did not get any love - the iPad. The iPad 10th Generation was the last time we saw any major updates come to the iPad, but it seems to have kept the cash registers flowing for the Cupertino-based tech giant, so much so that Apple did not mind not introducing a new iPad in the whole of 2023. But that doesn't mean that buying the iPad 10th Generation is a bad bet, not by a long shot. It is, for all intents and purposes, one of the most sensible iPads to consider, especially now that Apple sells it at Rs. 5000 cheaper than its launch price in India.

2023 has been a big year for Apple with several notable devices being introduced. In June, the Cupertino-based tech giant brought out its first-ever spatial computer called Apple Vision Pro which aims to seamlessly blend the digital world with the real world. Alongside it, Apple introduced the latest MacBooks. Just a few months later, the iPhone 15 series was introduced, bringing Dynamic Island to all four models. Apple also unveiled its next Apple Silicon chipset named M3. These devices make up the list of the latest tech innovations that Apple introduced in 2023. Now, 2024 is expected to bring several more developments including Apple GPT, Vision Pro release, AirPods 4, and more.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the buzzword of 2023, and companies are making efforts to incorporate this technology into their suite of products. Earlier this year, it was reported that Apple had developed an internal service similar to ChatGPT, which helps employees test new features, summarize text, and answer questions based on the data it has learned. Mark Gurman in July claimed that Apple was working on its own AI model. The heart of this large language model (LLM) work is a fresh framework called Ajax. The ChatGPT-like app, nicknamed "Apple GPT," is just one of the many possibilities that the Ajax framework can offer. Now, a research paper filed by Apple hints at Large Language Models (LLMs) possibly running on Apple devices including iPhone and iPad!
