It’s time for OnePlus tablets to copy the iPad

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 00:00:32

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

Apple will let third-party developers use Apple Intelligence models to empower their apps

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-19 04:32:17

Apple today announced a new framework, called Foundation Models, that will allow developers to access the same models that power on-device Apple Intelligence. This will let third-party apps easily offer AI features. Because these models run locally using the Apple Silicon chips on your iPhone or iPad, they can be made available wholly offline, and with no associated cloud API costs. This is the first time Apple is giving developers direct access to the power of these on-device foundation model

With the announcement of iPadOS 26, Apple has finally done something it had seemed to be resisting for well over a decade: turning the iPad into a computer. Apple has long sent mixed messages about the device, sometimes arguing that it is a computer, and other times arguing that iPads and Macs are two very different devices with two very different roles … The iPad was not a computer On the one hand, as far back as 2017 Apple ran the What’s a computer? ad campaign, essentially arguing that the
