Alleged iPad 2 images leak

If we’re to believe all the information gathered up until this point, the models line up pretty well. The slimmer body with tapered edges, dual cameras, and seemingly enhanced backside speaker grill are there. However, the photos don’t offer a look at an SD slot or USB port.

The images come from DGtle, which mentions it’s only pretty sure this is the real thing. Aside from its thinner design, the second generation and original Apple tablet are nearly identical. There might be something to those reports saying the iPad 3 is really the release to get excited about.

We’ve also noticed that Your Daily Apple reports that Amazon’s German site listed the iPad 2 with the alleged March 17 ship date. According to that image, the tablet will include Thunderbolt and a 1.2GHz CPU. The page has since been pulled, but take a look at the screenshot below.

If you need one of the best iPad deals for taking back to school, or simply for fun, we're here to help. With some great iPad deals going on right now, we've highlighted some of the best of the bunch. Below, we've picked out iPads covering various different budgets so there's something for everyone here from the basic iPad to the iPad Pro. Let's take a look at what's best for you.
Apple iPad (64GB, Wi-Fi, 7th Gen) -- $220, was $249

This Apple iPad 7th generation might not be very new anymore but thanks to Apple supporting its products for a while to come, it remains a good option for those wanting to keep costs down. This particular model is refurbished so it's had a previous owner but has since been restored to excellent quality, just like if you bought it new. It offers a 10.2-inch Retina display with a 2160 x 1620 resolution, Apple A10 Fusion chip, and a massive 128GB of storage space. It also has a 8MP camera although it's best suited for occasional snaps or video calls rather than pure photography. It's a great introduction to tablets if you want something iPadOS based without spending a lot.

iPadOS 17 just made my favorite iPad feature even better

Stage Manager on iPad Pro with M1

With iPadOS 17, Apple promised a refined Stage Manager experience. So, as soon as the first public beta was released, I rushed to my iPad Pro to check whether Apple’s claims made at WWDC 2023 had any merit to them. Well, Apple delivered with Stage Manager on iPadOS 17 — and to a large extent.

One of my biggest gripes with Stage Manager was that it wasn’t flexible. Apple wanted to ape a core multitasking feature from macOS, but the implementation left a lot to be desired. Digital Trends Editor Joe Manager wrote an extensive (and lukewarm) take on how Stage Manager didn't live up to its promises.

I ditched my iPad Pro for an Android tablet — here’s why

I work from home full time. That means distractions walk in freely, and keeping myself engaged is not always easy. In search of motivation, I lean toward change, novelty, and the urge to avoid being chained to my desk all day.

In this pursuit, the iPad Pro has proven to be a terrific gadget that allows me to get away from the clutter on my desk without giving up the capabilities of a computer. Being a Mac user, the iPad Pro easily fits into my workflow, primarily for seamless Continuity.
