If you’re planning to buy a new iPad after Tuesday’s Let Loose event, you’re also going to need some new gear to go with it: Today Amazon is selling the 2nd-gen AirPods Pro with a USB-C charging case for $180, a savings of $69, and one of the few times we’ve ever seen this model drop to this price.

While Apple’s “Let Loose” event on Tuesday could be one of the shortest events in the company’s history at about 35 minutes, there will be plenty jammed into the short runtime. And if another report holds up, Apple may spend some of that time talking about a high-end Apple Pencil.

It turns out the rumors were right. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, writing in his weekly Power On newsletter, the Let Loose event “is expected to be about 35 minutes,” significantly shorter than other recent spring events:

Welcome to our weekly Apple Breakfast column, which includes all the Apple news you missed last week in a handy bite-sized roundup. We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it goes great with a Monday morning cup of coffee or tea, but it’s cool if you want to give it a read during lunch or dinner hours too.

Is this event another non-event?

New iPads are great, but longtime Apple users have always wanted to see a touchscreen Mac, something along the lines of the Microsoft Surface. Reports of such a device by Apple have barely surfaced (pun intended) in recent years, but a new patent offers some hope that itt may still one day arrive.

Apple was recently granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that covers exactly this. Patent 11,320,869 is titled, “Hinged keyboard accessory having multiple... Читать дальше...
