Deal: The latest 2TB iPad Pro is $400 cheaper right now
Andy Walker / Android Authority The only thing more impressive than Apple's state-of-the-art hardware is the brand's reluctance to offer significant discounts. For these reasons, we were excited to see that the latest 11-inch iPad Pro with M4 Chip is currently subject to a massive $400 price drop on Amazon. Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4, 2TB) for $1,599 ($400 off) This is very much a deal for storage hogs, as the offer is only available on the 2TB Wi-Fi model of the Apple tablet. There are also markdowns on the other capacity variants, but none match the 20% savings available here. Only the Space Black colorway is subject to the discount, but when you're still paying more than $1,500 for your next tablet, you might want to consider popping it in a case for protection. Apple iPad Pro 11-Inch (M4, 2TB) Apple iPad Pro 11-Inch (M4, 2TB) OLED-gendary. With the powerful M4 chipset, and an OLED display, the 2024 variant of the Apple iPad Pro is a welcome update in the series.

Apple iPhone 17 Air: From design to price, all we know about the Samsung Galaxy S25 competitor
Apple's 2025 smartphone lineup may look very different from its current offerings. In the last few months, numerous leaks and rumours have hinted that the tech giant will replace the iPhone 17 Plus with a new iPhone 17 Air, which may be the slimmest iPhone ever. And while nothing is certain at the moment, from battery to design, here's everything we know so far about the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air will look different from other models in the series, and thanks to tipsters sharing images of the iPhone 17 Air's dummies, we have an idea of what the slimmest iPhone may look like. As you can see in the X post below, the iPhone 17 Air ditches the vertical camera setup in favour of a huge horizontal, elliptical camera island. IPhone 17 Air, is it a revolution worth buying? — Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) May 26, 2025 While some reports have hinted that the upcoming phone will be around 6mm thick, others have claimed that the device will be 5.5mm thick at its thinnest point. To give you a quick recap, the slimmest Apple product to date is the 2024 iPad Pro, which is just 5.1mm thick. The weight reduction may be attributed to Apple going with a lighter 7000 series aluminium frame that will weigh around 25 grams to 30 grams. This will make it lighter than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which sports a titanium frame. Other components that make up for the weight include the 35-gram OLED screen, a single 48MP camera that weighs 5 to 7 grams. The A19 and logic board, which is said to have a combined weight of 10 grams to 12 grams, a 35-gram battery and a 15-gram glass back. According to the tipster, the iPhone 17 Air will weigh 146 grams, but past reports have claimed that the device will have a weight of 145 grams or 150 grams. This means that the upcoming phone will weigh somewhere between 145 grams to 150 grams. The tipster goes on to claim that the iPhone 17 Air will have a Silicon Carbon battery to make it slimmer, and while the exact battery capacity is unclear, several rumours have hinted that it will be under 3,000mAh. Apple is also said to be offering a battery case for the phone, making the device less appealing. Earlier this year, a report suggested that Apple wanted the iPhone 17 Air to be the first portless iPhone, but it looks like, because of regulatory constraints (mostly from the European Union), the tech giant may be forced to include a USB-C port. Also, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to have the same buttons as the iPhone 16, meaning we will see a Camera Capture button and Action button alongside the standard power and volume buttons. On the display front, the iPhone 17 Air is said to pack a 6.6-inch to 6.7-inch ProMotion OLED screen. Taking a look at the iPhone 17 Air mockups, renders, and dummy units, it is highly likely that the upcoming phone will have a huge elliptical camera bar on the back that houses a single 48MP lens. As for the hardware, Apple is working on the A19 and the A19 Pro chips, but the iPhone 17 Air is said to feature the non-Pro variant. The device is also expected to come with 12GB of RAM. Apple is expected to increase the price of the iPhone 17 series, but it looks like the iPhone 17 Air may cost $899, which is the current price of the iPhone 16 Plus. This means that the slimmest iPhone will be more expensive than the vanilla iPhone 17 but cheaper than the Pro models.

WWDC 2025: What we expect Apple to reveal including new iOS, macOS, Apple Intelligence and more
Apple's big 2025 software reveal is nearly upon us. On June 9, the Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC) keynote will showcase the changes coming with its 2025 software. That includes — deep breath — iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19 and visionOS 3. Leaks suggest this year will be a biggie. In addition to the requisite Craig Federighi gags, expect a significant visual overhaul — one of Apple's biggest ever — and (shocker) new Apple Intelligence features. The company is reportedly set to unveil a platform-wide visual overhaul. The revamp is said to be a dramatic change, drawing inspiration from Apple's mixed reality headset. According to Front Page Tech's Jon Prosser, that may even include (nearly) round icons on the home screen and in Control Center. He also noted subtler changes, like a redesigned tab view within apps and the search box in Messages being moved to the bottom of the screen. One of Apple's core goals with the new software is to unify the design language of its operating systems. The idea is to make it less visually jarring to hop between devices. If executed well, jumping from iPhone to iPad to Mac (and so on) will feel like touring different flavors of the same OS. Apple's last big macOS makeover was with 2020's Big Sur. For the iPhone's software, you have to go all the way back to 2013. That's when iOS 7 kicked skeuomorphic design to the curb, replacing it with a flat, minimalistic look. Minus some iterative changes, it's still the UI you see today. Could 2025 be the year the iPad Pro starts to feel… Pro? The high-end versions of Apple's tablet have been more than capable on a hardware level for generations. (Especially when they switched to M-series chips.) But the software has held it back. That's presumably because the company doesn't want to cannibalize Mac sales. After all, if the iPad Pro can truly replace a laptop, then fewer people would buy both. The bad news for those wanting a full-on Mac experience: The iPad won't switch to macOS. The good news: iPadOS may get much more Mac-like. This year's update will reportedly focus on productivity, featuring improved multitasking and app window management. It's not that Apple hasn't inched the iPad's software in that direction. It incrementally did so with Stage Manager in iPadOS 16. The year before, it added the multitasking menu at the top of app windows. But for many, those tweaks fell far short of the full-on productivity overhaul they craved. Will it be enough this time? Bloomberg's Mark Gurman thinks it will "likely go far enough" for most power users. (Is that a "Hallelujah!" I hear?) Even if leaks hadn't already suggested as much, this one would be a no-brainer. After all, AI has been every tech company's obsession since ChatGPT took the world by storm over two years ago. Expect a healthy portion of the keynote to be devoted to Apple's AI advances. These will reportedly include improvements to existing features and a few new ones. Remember when Apple promised a more personalized Siri at last year's conference? The one that many wished would come ahead of the visual overhaul? Well, we're still waiting on that. The last official update we heard was in March, when the company toldDaring Fireball, "It's going to take us longer than we thought." (Oops!) Apple expects the new Siri features to arrive "in the coming year," a clear-as-mud description if ever there was one. A report from The Information last month hinted that the upgraded Siri was nowhere near ready. The 2024 demo, where Siri condensed minutes of multi-app planning into mere seconds, reportedly came as a surprise to team members working on Siri. (Never an encouraging sign.) Separate reporting this month from Bloomberg sheds a bit more light, adding that we probably won't hear much about those Siri upgrades at WWDC 2025. The publication described those updates as being months away from shipping. The company is also reportedly separating its Apple Intelligence and Siri marketing. The logic behind this is that users are so fed up with Apple's assistant that it's hurting Apple's AI push. The company's 2024 presentation was undoubtedly impressive. It showed a more context-sensitive Siri that better understands what you're doing. It pulled info from various apps and spliced them together in a seamless flow. It recorded a specific type of video in a third-party app. It shared a meeting summary via email with a teammate. And it found missing information the user remembered reading... somewhere. It even controlled system settings and explained them when needed. The bottom line: If or when Apple pulls off what it promised last year, that's big news for Siri. But don't hold your breath for it to show up at WWDC 2025. According to Bloomberg, the Siri updates we do see will be much subtler. These would include adding the option to use Gemini instead of ChatGPT with the assistant. Another iOS 19 scoop points to an Apple Intelligence feature that's easy to get behind. A new AI-powered battery management mode will reportedly analyze how you use your phone. It can then use that to make power-saving adjustments on the fly. If it works well, that could be pretty nifty. It may also be a key ingredient to a new device: the "iPhone Air." Whatever Apple calls it, the rumored ultra-slim handset is expected to join Apple's lineup this year. Without this feature, the phone's smaller battery might struggle to make it through a typical day. (According to Gurman, it would last several hours less than Apple's other iPhones.) But with the AI battery feature activated, the svelte iPhone could become more practical. Will we see this slim-jim iPhone at WWDC? Well, let's say you have as good a chance of Valve randomly showing up to announce Half Life 3 at Apple's conference. First, the svelte handset is expected to be part of the iPhone 17 lineup, which typically arrives around September. Second, Apple hasn't unveiled a new iPhone at WWDC since Steve Jobs showed off the iPhone 4 in 2010. So, in short, nope. Apple is reportedly working on a virtual health coach. Allegedly codenamed Project Mulberry, the AI feature would pair a refreshed Health app with an AI-powered coach. Bloomberg says the feature would, to some degree, give you advice you'd usually seek from a doctor. The virtual coach would collect data from your Apple devices and use AI to provide personalized health advice, chatbot-style. Apple is reportedly training the AI agent with data from company physicians. Meanwhile, outside experts would shoot educational videos. In March, Bloomberg's Gurman said the virtual coach could arrive as early as iOS 19.4, which wouldn't likely come until early to mid-2026. But a quick aside in a report this month from Gurman and Drake Bennett mentioned that it could be a point of focus at WWDC. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is predicting that Apple will introduce a centralized, pre-installed app for gaming on the Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. It'll include some of the features in the long-neglected Game Center service like leaderboards and matchmaking and pair them with a dedicated game launcher and editorial content including recommendations —including a push towards the Apple Arcade service. It wouldn't be an Apple keynote without some wacky Craig Federighi hijinks. Last year, Apple's software lead strapped on a hair-shaped helmet and skydived into Apple Park. At previous events, he showed off his parkour skills, summoned an iPad like he's a Jedi and jammed out on a three-necked guitar. Say what you will about "Hair Force One." Federighi knows how to sell a sight gag. (With maybe just a teensy bit of help from Apple's visual effects artists.) Following Apple's typical schedule, you can expect the first developer betas to arrive after the conference ends. (Likely the same day!) Public betas would follow early this summer. And you can expect the final versions of iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16 and so on to arrive alongside new iPhones this fall. While Apple's developer conference will be jam-packed if they serve up even a fraction of the expectations above, there are a few things we can pretty confidently take off the board, too. With the possible exception of the Mac Pro, nearly all of Apple's hardware lines have either just finished an upgrade cycle (consumer Macs, most iPads) or are going to get updated in the fall as usual (iPhone, Apple Watch). As such, we're not expecting any major hardware announcements. Apple has talked about the Mac Pro at past WWDC events, but that computer is updated so infrequently that it's hard to say with any confidence that we'll see any changes.

Finally! WhatsApp gives into one of its ‘biggest requests' – could Instagram follow?
Hell has frozen over. Well at least that's what it seemed like would have to happen before WhatsApp launched….an iPad app for Apple's popular tablet. And it's available now through the App Store. Yes, 15 years after the debut of Apple's tablet and 16 years after the launch of the independent WhatsApp (before it was swallowed by Meta) we finally have what the company itself admits was one of its 'biggest requests'. And no wonder. According to DataReportal, WhatsApp is used by around a quarter of the world's population. Over 2bn people. Yep. So the question remains why it has taken so long to do an app for the world's most popular tablet. Head of WhatsApp Will Cathcart stated in a 2022 interview with The Verge that 'people have wanted an iPad app for a long time… We'd love to do it'. Clearly not so much as to do it within the last three years, leaving iPad users in the odd place of having to use WhatsApp through the browser. And that's even though the app has been available natively on macOS for some years (used as a paired device with your phone) and was revamped in 2023 alongside the Windows equivalent. Could it have been that Meta didn't want to make it easy for the iPad to grow among its users, harboring hopes of its own tablet range? Or is it simply that the app was traditionally tied to a phone number? Perhaps, but maybe we won't find out until the email appears as part of some future court case or other public record. In any case, the iPad app is the same app you'll know and love from your iOS or Android phone so you can message all those time-consuming groups and make video and audio calls with up to 32 people, share your screen. You can once again use both front and back cameras. It also works with the iPad's multitasking capabilities including Split View and Slide Over as well as the much-maligned Stage Manager so you can use another app while you're on a video call or sending a message. As the WhatsApp blog post states, Stage Manager is available on iPad Pro with M4, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later) and iPad Air (5th generation), iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and later), iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and later). Oh, and WhatsApp also works with Apple Pencil as well as any Bluetooth keyboard or Magic Keyboard as you'd expect.
