iOS 16 will reportedly drop support for iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, first-generation iPhone SE, and several iPad models
With 2021 about ready to wrap up, the rumor mill will likely start ramping things up regarding future products and software releases. So of course we will start to hear more about iOS 16 and what that future update will bring to the table. Or, in this case, the devices it might not support.
What’s your favorite iPad feature?
I can still remember a few things about owning the original iPad. It was definitely a spur-of-the-moment purchase at the time, a piece of technology that had absolutely no place in my daily routine at the time. But I sure did love that ling. It was big and kinda bulky, and yet still portable. It was mainly a great way to play some mobile games and watch stuff.
Is it time for iPadOS to add multiuser support?
The iPad is a great device. So is the iPad Air and the iPad mini and the iPad Pro. Which, when you look at it like that, shows us that Apple might have too many iPad models. Does Apple really need four different models, which even includes two variants with different screen sizes for the Pros? It does if it really, really wants to keep avoiding multiuser support!
What do you use your iPad mini for the most?
I don't know about you, but before I consider picking up a new device I usually go over the reasons why IÂ need it. That starts with why I want it, of course, but before I'll pull the trigger on a purchase I at least need to tell myself I'll use it. And, depending on the device and just how expensive it is, that justification is a requirement. Because if I end up buying something and then not using it for a few days, or longer, I tend to return it or sell it off.
How has your desk changed over the last year?
Over the last year and some change, what going to work looks like has changed quite a bit for a lot of people. What used to be a daily grind with traffic and public transport, or parking, or whatever else it might've been, now relies more on stable WiFi and kids not barging in on us during a Zoom call. But, what about our desks?
Apple Music Spatial Audio doesn’t work with the built-in speakers in iPhone XR, iPad mini, and iPad
With the arrival of Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music earlier this year, the expectation was that the feature would work with a variety of different Apple-branded devices right out of the box. And that's certainly the case (especially with Lossless audio quality). But it turns out Apple has had to revise the list of supported devices that support the upgraded listening experience from the built-in speakers.
California State University offering iPad Air, Smart Keyboard, and Apple Pencil to 35,000 incoming students
It's a relatively quiet initiative these days, all things considered, but Apple hasn't given up on the education market. These days, it comes down to handing out a whole lot of devices to incoming students. That's what's happening with incoming learners at California State University this fall.
Apple’s first iPad with an OLED display now said to launch in 2023
In 2021, Apple started to make the transition to mini-LED displays with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. There have been rumors swirling around for quite some time that Apple would make that change, with more than one device expected to boast the technology in the future. But, at the same time, there are expectations that Apple's true destination is more OLED panels in mobile devices.
Report: Apple to start upgrading iPads to OLED screens beginning with 2022 iPad Air
The first OLED-based iPads should drop in 2022 beginning with the next iPad Air, with Apple following up with the first iPad Pro models equipped with OLED panels in 2023.
Will iPadOS 15 continue to hold back the iPad Pro?
Apple put itself in a unique position before the start of this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. Not necessarily one it had to find a way out of, per se. However, a lot of people expected Apple to do just that.
8 new outstanding features in iPadOS 15
iPadOS 15 is on the way. Apple showcased the new software at this year's WWDC. This year was all about cross-platform feature parity, but that's usually the case with iPadOS and iOS anyway. That's certainly the case this year.
