Apple’s new iPad Pro is a showcase for its M1 processor, making its debut on its tablet family. Or perhaps it s a showcase for its eye-searingly bright XDR screen. It’s probably both.
Chris Velazco s review lays out how ridiculously powerful this iPad is. It ll be future proof for at least a few generations of upgrades. (You’d hope so, too, with prices for the 12.9-inch model starting at $1,099.)
Because they use the same Apple-made processor, these iPads are just as powerful as the latest MacBooks, at least in that regard. At this moment in time, the iPad app ecosystem (and iPadOS) might not quite be ready for all this power. But when it does catch up, this could be the vanguard of the portable computer future.
As the trial of Epic Games vs Apple enters its third and final week, Apple CEO Tim Cook is reportedly spending hours per day practicing his testimony with prior trial attorneys.
In the late stages of courtroom activity in Epic s lawsuit against Apple, both sides are likely to bring out their best witnesses and arguments to finish strong. In the case of Apple, that effort will probably include an appearance from Tim Cook.
As the figurehead for Apple, Cook is likely to have to answer tough questions and claims from Epic s lawyers, as he attempts to convince the court Apple isn t operating a monopoly with its App Store. While well versed in public appearances and previously testifying before Congress, Cook has apparently done some homework before visiting court.

Epic Games Ltd.’s lawsuit against Apple Inc. over alleged anticompetitive behavior has finally come to court as Apple defended its control of its App Store.
Epic, perhaps best known as the creator of the popular battle game “Fortnite,” filed a lawsuit against Apple in August after “Fortnite” was removed from the Apple App Store as well as Google LLC’s Play Store.
“Fortnite” was removed after Epic added the ability in the iOS and Android versions to purchase in-game items directly from Epic itself. Both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store require all app purchases to be made through the respective store directly, with Apple and Google each taking a 30% cut.
