Would you buy a plastic iPad? (Poll)

The new iPads are here, and though they’re not exactly what we were expecting (whatever happened to that Touch ID business?), they still deliver in all the big ways: more powerful processors, better cameras, slimmer and lighter designs, and that all-important Retina display upgrade for the new iPad mini. Ultimately, there’s a lot to be happy about, and we’re sure that Apple’s going to see a lot of demand for this pair. But ...

Join our live coverage of Apple’s iPad event on Tuesday, October 22nd at 1PM ET

It’s amazing how, a little over three years ago, nobody cared about tablets. They had existed for almost 8 years, and still, they were either too pricey, or simply not powerful enough to justify their purchase. Fast-forward to today, and it’s amazing that all it would take was to bloat a smartphone to make people want them. Still, there’s no denying that the market exists, it’s huge, and Apple still dominates it. Tomorrow we expect more iPads to be announced, and unless Apple hasn’t caught up with the recent reviews of Google’s Nexus 7, there’s a ...

Apple’s iPad event may introduce new Surface-style keyboard cover

Nokia’s not the only company with big news this week; far from it. Tomorrow, we’re also looking forward to Apple letting loose with its own latest hardware, and all indications point to it announcing a new iPad and a new iPad mini. We’ve been back and forth with the hardware expected for these tablets more than a few times, and while we still have questions about hot that iPad mini 2 might arrive, the

Pocketnow Weekly 066: special guest MKBHD joins us to talk Nexus 5, Galaxy Gear, & more!

There comes a time when you just gotta do what the readers want. Particularly when their demands are awesome. You tweeted, you pleaded, you emailed, you told us in person at trade shows and during mildly creepy public run-ins: “have Marques Brownlee on the Weekly!” you demanded. And after weeks of dancing around schedules, overseas trips, and major

iPad 5 gets measured; super-thin body looks confirmed

Yesterday morning – right around this same time, in fact – we brought you a hands-on image of the new iPad mini 2, with the photographer being so kind as to bring along a caliper and give us some physical confirmation of the tablet’s thickness. For the iPad mini 2, that was especially useful, as it gave us a little bit of insight into the rumors that the tablet might not get the Retina-quality display, as so widely believed. We don’t have anything else to help us with that question today, but it looks like ...

iPad 5, iPad mini 2 retail availability target of latest rumors

Apple’s invites for next Tuesday’s event are out, and unless we’ve been totally reading this all wrong, a shiny new iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 are likely to make their debuts. We won’t deny that it’s great to get that confirmation out of the way (so we’re not sitting around through another no-show, as developed with today’s Nexus 5 rumors), but there are still more iPad dates to uncover: ...

And “boom” go the Apple invites: October 22 event confirmed

How are we doing on October launch rumors so far? HTC showed up a day earlier than expected with the One Max, we’re already drifting into afternoon and there’s no sign of a Nexus 5 launch today, and next week’s Nokia World event – well, that’s been solidly confirmed for a while now. The one other biggie that’s been hanging over our heads has been Apple, with ...
