By Amir Iliaifar Published October 10, 2011

It’s been a long time coming, but the new Facebook app for the iPad is finally here. The app is now available to download for free from the iTunes app store, however at this time it is only available to some users, but should be available to everyone as soon as it fully rolls out on all Apple’s servers.

Along with all the standard features you would expect from a Facebook app like chat, notifications, search, status updates, and messaging , the new Facebook app for iPad takes full advantage of the larger screen real estate. Photos are larger and take up a big portion of the screen, you can even play Facebook games in full-screen mode now.

The first iPad mini (2024) reviews are out. Here’s what people are saying

Early reviews of the iPad mini (2024), which Apple announced last week, are primarily favorable. They highlight the impressive performance of the A17 Pro chip and the device’s continued portability. Reviewers also appreciate the brighter display and support for the Apple Pencil Pro, which enhances precision for drawing and note-taking.

However, the design remains unchanged, with noticeable bezels around the display that feel somewhat dated compared to other modern tablets. A significant drawback for some users will be the need for more support from Apple keyboard accessories, which limits its productivity potential.

This iPad may be the cheapest way to use Apple’s AI for a while

We already know that a new iPad mini is on the way; Apple confirmed that less than a week ago. It's going to be packed with features and powered by the A17 Pro chip, the same one used in the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. Not only is it a highly anticipated device, but it might offer be the best bang for your buck as far as Apple Intelligence is concerned.

One of the biggest selling points of this iPad is its focus on Apple Intelligence, even if the service starts five days after the release of the iPad mini — on October 28. It won't even be available at launch, but users will be able to access the features after an update. The biggest selling point, though, is the price. At just $349, this budget-friendly tablet is the most affordable iPad that can use Apple Intelligence at the moment — and probably the least expensive we'll see for quite some time.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra vs. Apple iPad Pro: flagship face-off

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra vs iPad Pro 2024.

The iPad Pro epitomizes the best tablet experience. Its formidable processor, excellent Pencil utility, and a cohesive Apple ecosystem shape that perception, Samsung is vying to change that with its surefooted Galaxy Tab Ultra series. The newly launched Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra makes a case against the 2024 iPad Pro with some pretty compelling specifications.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has a colossal, almost-15-inch footprint. It catches up to the iPad Pro with its robust S Pen, a pretty display, a really handy desktop mode, and a similarly lean profile. We highly recommend going through the comparison below to find out which of these flagship tablets is better for your needs.
