When Apple first introduced the notch with the iPhone X, the industry was moving toward a higher screen-to-body ratio. + The iPhones still have the notch design today, and Apple has also brought the notch to the new MacBook Pro – without bringing FaceID. Now, it seems like the company wants to make it a marketing statement by introducing the notch to its whole suite of products. The next device that’s said to arrive sporting a notch is the iPad Pro.
According to the new renders shared by Chinese website MyDrivers, the iPad Pro 2022 could come equipped with a notch. As a result, we could expect slimmer bezels on all sides but the top, which is tipped to accommodate a notch with FaceID sensors and the front-facing camera. If you look at the renders, the notch seems slimmer than the one found on the iPhone 13 series, as well as the MacBook Pro lineup with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
As per the report, the 2022 iPad Pro is likely to come in 11-inch and 12.9-inch models. These could sport LTPO OLED displays with dual-layer OLED technology. The report also claims that the company is working on using a titanium alloy for the iPad Pro models for better durability and scratch resistance.
It is worth noting that, unlike laptops and smartphones, users rest their palms and/or thumbs on the side bezels of the tablets. So, shrinking the side bezels might not be a great idea if palm rejection is poor on the software front. But we expect Apple to have that sorted out.
The iPad Pro 2022 might not be the first tablet with a notch. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is also said to have a notch on its display.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
