Apple’s Steve Jobs teased the audience before revealing the new iPad tablet device. Jobs is now demonstrating the products—he says this thin new device is extraordinary and “the best web experience you’ve ever had.” The iPad is a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds. It sports a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display and runs Apple’s chip developed by P.A. Semi. It has YouTube, iTunes built in… it’s basically a way cooler giant iPhone. There’s also built-in calendar (kind of like a datebook but also like the desktop OS X calendar).

The new iPad seems more Mac-like than iPhone-esque in functionality, but the portability aspect is all iPhone. And if anyone was worried about the keyboard, Jobs assured us it’s “easy” to use and type. Check out our iPad updates.

Apple offers free repair for bad iPhone 14 Plus batch with camera woes

The iPhone 14 Plus's camera module.

Over the past few months, multiple reports have popped up on Reddit and Apple’s official product forum regarding an iPhone 14 Plus issue that renders a black screen instead of a frame preview in the camera app. It seems Apple has finally caught wind of the complaints and has launched a servicing program to help affected owners.

“Apple has determined that the rear camera on a very small percentage of iPhone 14 Plus devices may exhibit no preview. Affected devices were manufactured between April 10, 2023, to April 28, 2024,” says the company.

One of the biggest features in iOS 18 is Apple Intelligence. However, while the iPhone 16 line launched with iOS 18 out of the box, Apple Intelligence wasn’t ready quite yet. Now, the latest iOS 18.1 update finally brings those AI goodies to your compatible iPhone.

Of course, you may have updated and tried to use those Apple Intelligence features, but can’t seem to get them to work. That’s because you have to sign up for them before they’re available to you.
