Be sure to check out our hands-on video with the new iPad size, as well as early media reviews praising the display and overall speed. Apple has already released a couple of short ads for the new iPad Pro in the style of other recent ads based around Tweets, highlighting the Apple Pencil support and performance of the latest models. iFixit has also performed one of its traditional teardowns on the new 10.5-inch model, finding it to be more like a scaled-down version of the 12.9-inch model rather than a slightly scaled-up version of the previous 9.7-inch iPad Pro.   Read Full Article Hands-On With iOS 11's iPad Features: Dock, Drag and Drop, App Switcher and More iOS 11 introduces quite a few changes for Apple's mobile operating system, and nowhere is this more obvious than on the iPad, where Apple has implemented features like a persistent Dock, drag-and-drop, a new app switcher, better Apple Pencil support, and more.

A shift to faster Kaby Lake processors with better integrated graphics from Intel, improved discrete graphics options from AMD, and a $200 price drop at the low end of the 13-inch range if you can do without the Touch Bar are all included. The updated iMac is also available, and teardowns have revealed that the 4K 21.5-inch model has removable RAM and a non-soldered processor, although the parts are not officially considered replaceable for users. The new low-end 27-inch model is also capable of accepting up to 64 GB of RAM like the higher-end models, even though Apple doesn't offer it as an option on the low-end model.   Read Full Article Apple CEO Tim Cook Pokes Fun at Windows PCs in Commencement Address at MIT Following the excitement of WWDC, it continued to be a busy week for Tim Cook, including a commencement address for graduates of MIT in which he reflected on his life and poked fun at Windows PCs.
