Just today, Apple refreshed the iPad lineup for two models - the iPad Air and iPad Pro. No iPad hasn't been updated for over a year!

Apple Released a New Apple Pencil called the Apple Pencil Pro. The current supported devices are:
The second generation Apple Pencil may look similar, but it is not supported on those models. You can still use the Apple Pencil USB-C on these models.

The changes are these:
---------------
No More Physical SIM card on iPad Pro and iPad Air

The new iPad Air's and Pro's have one Specific imitation - no more Physical SIM card tray.
Why? Because Public Mobile has eSIM and Physical SIM, we may be able to have eSIM to use data on our iPads with Public Mobile. Hopefully in the coming months someone will ask.

Notable Changes:
These are the changes of the Apple Lineup:
1. There is no iPad with a home button anymore, the 9th generation iPad is discontinued.
2. The iPad 10th Gen got a $100 decrease in price today
3. iOS 17.5 is in its RC build (Released next week) Watch Brandon Butch's Video about the RC release and its new features below!

And that is it for the Large More to Know today! Hope you enjoyed it! 😊
P.S. I won't upgrade. My iPad mini 5th generation with the home button is just what I need!

@TheSterlinger - Yes, it is odd.
I somewhat don't really follow on Apple Rumors but yes, I am assuming apple will announce M4 Mac's at WWDC in June.

Surprising they released the new M4 chip in an iPad instead of MacBook. Wonder what changes will come to iPhone 16 series and M4 MacBooks.

@hTideGnow - Yes, although I may be planning to buy a secondary Android like an A14 with a public mobile plan. Or maybe freedom prepaid $119 15GB.
And yes, I only use Apple, so I don’t really know about Android features (Except experimenting installing Android on UEFI PC.)
Nice to hear that!
