Fortnite and Roblox are making Apple’s kid-friendly iPad obsolete sooner than expected

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-09-14 07:54:14

Apple doesn’t talk much about RAM and iPads. Popular iPad games, however, are forcing the conversation. Fortnite and Roblox, for example, are saying game over to an iPad model with a kid-friendly price that Apple sold until last year. What you should know Roblox is breaking on iPads with 3GB RAM or less Fortnite requires at least 4GB RAM to launch Apple stopped selling iPads with 3GB RAM in May 2024 How iPad games are breaking Epic Games brought Fortnite back to the U.S. App Store in May 2

The best iPad stylus of 2025: Expert tested

In May 2024, Apple unveiled a new lineup of M3 and M4 iPad Air and Pro models. Alongside the latest tablets, the tech giant released the brand new Apple Pencil Pro, the first actual upgrade to Apple's stylus lineup since the release of the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) in 2018. The upgraded stylus incorporates advanced features like squeeze, barrel roll, and haptic feedback to make marking up, taking notes, and creating an artistic masterpiece more intuitive.

iPad Air vs reMarkable Paper Pro: Which tablet is best for note taking? [Updated]

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-15 10:14:42

Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of testing out the reMarkable Paper Pro. You can read my full review here, but in short, it gets everything right about the note taking experience. Despite being an e-ink tablet, it does get quite pricey. However, there are certainly some fantastic parts of the experience that make it worth comparing to an iPad Air, depending on what you’re looking for in a note taking device for school, work, or whatever else.

I test tablets for a living and this is the Samsung tablet I recommend the most

ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is a 13.1-inch tablet for $649. It's a good iPad Air alternative for Android users, with reliable performance, a larger display than the S10+, and an IP68 rating that the iPad lacks; it also includes the S Pen. The price increased by $50 for the base model compared to last year, and the tablet now has a single rear camera rather than the precious dual cameras.

These are the best iPad deals right now, just in case iPadOS 26 made you rethink things

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-14 19:57:20

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for under $700. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro de

Live Activities are coming to iPad and Mac, here’s how they’ll work

iPadOS 26 is a huge update for iPad users, with the biggest productivity changes ever introduced on the platform. While its new windowing system should be great for existing iPads, it also looks like a perfect fit for the larger iPad model Apple has on the way. ‘iPad Fold’ with 18.8-inch screen will pair perfectly with iPadOS 26’s upgrades Apple launched the first iPad Pro in 2015 with what then seemed like a giant 12.9-inch display.

Schumer Interrupts Crypto Debate to Announce Sen. Padilla Was Roughed Up by Federal Thugs in California

Sen. Alex Padilla, the Democratic senator from California, was forcibly removed from a press conference held by the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, on Thursday that was focused on ICE’s campaign of terror against the people of Los Angeles. Padilla was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.

Instagram adds real-time Spotify song sharing to Notes, teases grid reordering

Instagram is introducing a new way to share your music taste through Notes, the temporary status updates that appear above inboxes in DMs. Starting today, users can display the Spotify tracks they’re currently listening to in real time. Unlike the existing music sharing features, this update continuously reflects the current song, showing both the title and artist. It builds on Instagram’s integration with Spotify, which began last November with the introduction of an “add to Spotify” button.

Razer’s new mobile controller can stretch wide enough to fit an iPad Pro

The iPad Mini is no longer the biggest tablet you can fit into a mobile gaming controller (without breaking it a little). Razer’s new $199.99 Kishi V3 Pro XL can accommodate a 13-inch iPad or Android tablet that uses a USB-C connector. It’s like Razer’s 2013 Edge, in spirit at least. My 10.9-inch iPad Air is a cinch to fit inside of the Kishi V3 Pro XL, and having even this large of a screen to play on is a treat. How could it not be?

After its WWDC 2025 event, Apple described its upcoming iPadOS 26 update as “the biggest iPadOS release ever.” This doesn’t seem like it’s just a self-aggrandizing exaggeration, though — iPadOS 26 could actually change the way we think about the utility of a fifteen-year-old product that has long felt like an oversized iPhone designed for a cyclops. The new OS brings us multi-tasking tools, a new windowing system, and the Preview app, which may not sound as alluring as “Liquid Glass.” But if yo

It’s time for OnePlus tablets to copy the iPad

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I like the OnePlus Pad 3 — in fact, it might be my favorite Android tablet right now. It’s big and powerful, yet light enough and slim enough for life on the go. There’s just one problem: It costs $700. The series didn’t always cost that much, but it does now, and there’s no good way around that. There’s also no good way to recommend another OnePlus tablet to someone who can’t afford the Pad 3, because OnePlus has a habit of retiring its older slates as soon as a
