Apple iPad Air M3 review: The smallest of upgrades
Apple’s new iPad Air is here, but you wouldn’t know it just by looking at it. For this version, Apple decided to leave the tablet unchanged on the outside, save for the new (optional) Magic Keyboard.

The 4 worst iPads Apple ever released
Summary No iPad has been an outright failure, but some of Apple’s product decisions have been problematic. The third-gen iPad was heavy and prone to overheating, for example.

The Top New Features in Apple’s iOS 18 and iPadOS 18
Apple executives always describe new hardware and software as the “best” or “biggest” ever, but the delivery doesn’t usually live up to the hype (see last year’s iPads).
