New iPad Pro models with larger screens are under development

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, back when they first released the iPad, there was a running joke that Apple will "innovate" by introducing larger and larger-sized iPads with no other new features. Well, sounds like it's becoming true. Welcome to the Cook era folks.Apple brings many new things to market. First they’re chided as pointless or useless. Then after a year or two when those same devices have become ubiquitous, the peanut gallery bellyaches about the incremental updates that aren’t earth-shattering brand new products. Then, eventually, the complaints start rolling in that older versions of devices are slow and are the victims of conspiracies of planned obsolescence. Lather, rinse, repeat.On June 29, it will be all of 14 years ago when the original iPhone was released. Fourteen years. Prior to that, there was no iPhone, MacBook Air, iPad, Apple Watch, AppleTV, Apple Pencil, Apple App Store, HomePod, AirPod, M1 Apple Silicon, Airtag, etc. Kids in high school now were all born before any of these things existed.
So sure, you keep believing Apple is scared to bring anything new to market.
When we talked about bringing innovation back, we’re talking about what’s next. What’s next beyond the iPad? Beyond the window dressing of bringing different sized devices and calling it innovation?
So, for those of you that are as clueless Cook, here’s something for you to ponder. This is a quote from Jobs and is posted on the wall of the Apple campus near the entrance. Cook needs to figure out the answer to this question. What’s next Cook? A decade after Steve’s death, we’re still waiting. -

USA's 2023 Real ID air travel requirement could benefit from Apple's iOS 15 digital driver...
dysamoria said:It’s not just bureaucratic nonsense; it’s also authoritarian nonsense.
It does not serve the purpose it purports to because it’s not actually secure. As mentioned by others, the documents required to get it are easily forgeable. Like software copy protection schemes, it only hurts honest people.
It turns out that I do not have my birth certificate. My parents thought we did because none of us knew that the thing the hospital gives parents is a piece of garbage no better than a gift shop keepsake.
I was born in the USA. So were both my parents before me, but I can’t get this bulshitty “RealID” and prove I’m a legitimate American without jumping through various idiotic hoops. Some of those hoops are literal catch-22 scenarios. I started trying to get it, and I gave up... as the people who installed this BS intended.
Aside from acting as a voter suppression effort, it’s just security theatre. Like the TSA.
Between the ID nonsense and the authoritarianism & abuse of the TSA, I don’t ever fly. My girlfriend lives in California. That’s literally the opposite side of the continent from me. She wants me to visit her there some day so that it’s not just her coming to see me. I understand that want. However, If I don’t manage to fly there and back before the BS “Real ID” requirement, I don’t know how I’m going to manage it. Redouble my efforts to jump through the damned flaming hoops, I guess. All this effort just to subject myself to the police state BS of the TSA... it’s not motivating.
Luckily, the effort to require “RealID” for voting was struck down in my state. -
Apple debuts colorful 24-inch iMac with M1, upgraded camera and audio
sflocal said:I fail to understand the hate people have towards the iMac's "chin". It really comes across as petty and that chin I think is what differentiates the iMac instead of making it look like some large, generic monitor. Get over it people.I actually glad there's some kind of chin there, especially with the new color options, it allows some of that color to come to the front of the unit as well. Good job Apple.I do with the specs for the iMac were more beefy. I used an M1-based MacBook and while I was absolutely floored by the performance, I expected Apple would give the desktop Macs with ASi chips made for desktop-class machines. I just hope that whatever Apple has in store for the larger 27"+ iMac, it better include more RAM, and much higher spec ASi chips. -
